THE NATIONAL MEDIA has been devoting some serious time to discussing the weight problems of country singer Jessica Simpson and Oprah Winfrey. This week CNN devoted three days to Simpson’s weight issue and Matt Lauer also got Barack Obama to comment on it during an interview before the Super Bowl.
Even local celebrities are garnering some attention for their weight. KVOE news paparazzi Chuck Samples has been keeping people informed of his efforts to battle the bulge with some miracle diet aid.
Perhaps if Chuck could hawk some of his miracle potion to Jessica and Oprah then perhaps the national media can move onto discussing more important things — like Britney Spears’ comeback.
