Celebrity Weight Loss
Larry the Cable Guy Loses 50LBS!
Larry the Cable Guy is the latest celebrity spokesperson for a commercial weight loss program. The comedian has lost 50 LBS on NutriSystem and boasts on his website, "Now I look just like Brad Pitt only totally different." Print and TV ads air later this month.
Larry, whose real name is Dan Whitney, joins the ranks of stars promoting diet plans. Queen Latifah became the new spokeswoman for Jenny Craig in January. "For me, it's not about a body image sort of thing. I feel pretty confident about who I am," she said at a news conference. "But I do realize that I am a role model for a lot of people."
