Who shrunk the most on ‘Biggest Loser?’ And other hot stuff.
Who’s gonna be the big winner on “Biggest Loser?” We’ll find out tonight in the live finale at 7 p.m. on NBC.
This grueling competition among fat people desperate to shrink remains one of NBC’s biggest reality hits, and the big hype this time is that the show might finally have a female winner after five seasons of male triumphs.
If the promos are any indication, the crown tonight will go to the now-tiny and very muscular Ali, who has dropped almost 99 pounds and picked up the most amazingly ripped abs I’ve ever seen. Did they surgically tighten her skin after all those pounds disappeared? Maybe. Whatever. She looks fantastic now.
The other gal in the running is the beautiful blonde Kelly, who has lost lots of weight but still carries a slightly zaftig shape. Will viewers go for curves or washboards? We’ll see.
The two-hour finale, if tradition holds, will be rife with giggling, sobbing and other extreme forms of human emotion.
Cross your fingers today!
The Screen Actors Guild, minus former partner union AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists), has begun contract negotiations with producers in hopes of avoiding a strike come June.
On the heels of the industry-crippling writers strike, an actors strike could prove doubly devastating to the entertainment industry — and especially television.
AFTRA broke away from SAG earlier this month, which was seen as a big negative for a peaceful settlement. But if SAG is successful, AFTRA, which begins its negotiations April 28, will feel strong pressure to follow suit.
Hillary and Colbert
Sounds like painful viewing, but Hillary Clinton has decided to risk a potentially embarrassing visit to Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report” on Thursday night (at 10:30). Just days before the Pennsylvania primary, the senator from New York will take on the fake right-wing political pundit Stephen Colbert.
Barack Obama declined the invitation, so the Illinois senator’s wife Michelle will joust with Colbert on tonight’s “Report.” Maybe Barack will pop in for a surprise visit.
John McCain and Mike Huckabee have fared well with Colbert, but there’s always a risk of leaving with egg splattered all over your face.
