Have You Called Jenny Today?

May 30, 2007 AT 07:04 am

Move over Valarie! Aretha Franklin is the newest celebrity to sign up with Jenny Craig. She has been placed on a 1,750 calorie diet in an attempt to shed the pounds for her upcoming wedding. The hardest part of it all is the fact that pigs feet aren't included in the menu.

I'm at 1,750 calories a day and I'm starving. You just have to get used to portions and changing your lifestyle. I lost 23 or 24 pounds to begin with, but it's kind of a strain when you get to 23 or 24 pounds. That's why I got off of it.
"It's a strain because you're eating the Jenny Craig-type meals, which are very good. But you can only eat them for so long before you want some barbecue ribs or some pigs feet. Once you get off that Jenny Craig thing and you start eating what you've been eating, it's all over."

Why does Aretha feel the need to do this? She is an icon and honestly I cannot imagine her looking different.

When did she get so fat?? I was looking at some younger pictures of her...she was so nice and...i mean, no disrespect to people who are a bit chubby, but a little weight is fine. But she went from like stick thin to overbearingly fat, i have never seen that before
