Copied and pasted from a gossip website...and I'm stumped...

1. "What celebrity who lost a bunch of weight supposedly off her diet program and never stops talking about it actually had surgery to achieve her amazing results."

2. "Which Hollywood power couple is ready to pull the plug on their marriage? A hint: The union is only three years old - and produced a daughter."

Any thoughts?

and ED and RG for the second.

That doesn't help me much.

Not sure but Jennifer Hudson lost weight supposedly on weight watchers and is always raving about it. Not sure who else talks about diet clubs??

Hope the second one is Tom cruise and Katie Holmes. Smug marrieds irritate me

Fairyloo · 01/09/2011 17:17

Who on earth is cf? And the other initials I'm so not with it

caughtinanet · 01/09/2011 17:18

Hollywood power couple would be American I guess, and I think the other skinny bird is too, yeah.

Am wondering if CF is an error and actually meant SF? (ous own dear Duchess of Y?)

KatieScarlett2833 · 01/09/2011 17:32

Eric Dane & rebecca gayheart

Google was my friend

KatieScarlett2833 · 01/09/2011 17:36

Carrie Fisher is CF

Mrsfluff · 01/09/2011 17:37

Eric Dane & Rebecca Gayheart? Wouldn't have thought of them as a Hollywood power couple Hmm

KatieScarlett2833 · 01/09/2011 17:38

Any better suggestions?

oneofsuesylvesterscheerios · 01/09/2011 17:46

Carrie fisher would make good sense looking at the face butchery that's gone on there

AmyStake · 01/09/2011 18:02

First one is definitely Carrie Fisher.

Oh you are all very clever indeed. Rebecca Dane is pregnant I thought, which if I'm right and I'm prob not is a shame.

OKeyDokes how about this juicy tidbit....

Which very famous actress and music icon had a secret love child together in the late 1990s? Both of these parents are extremely well-known in their fields. At the time, Beauty and The Beast were each married to other celebrities, but had an affair while working on a project together. Beauty was just becoming well-known at the time, and having a baby with a famous and married music icon while each was married to someone else would have hurt everyone's careers. So, when they discovered she was pregnant, both couples agreed that Beauty would take a little time away from the spotlight, and Beast and his wife would publicly pretend to be pregnant. Beauty and her husband separated because of the affair, but Beast's wife stood by him and raised the child as her own? even though Beauty and The Beast have hooked up several times since then."

I'd say MJ & AJ - link here dates seem to match. His Son, Gabriel was born in late 90's.

He does look like AJ! Shock

She's such a bloody harlot.

AmyStake · 01/09/2011 22:36

I've just checked her wiki, she did 3 movies in 1996 and 3 in 1997 so somebody would have noticed she was pregnant?
