Move over Kirstie Alley - there’s a new princess, I mean, ah, Queen in town.

Queen Latifah is the newest celeb to join Kirstie and pal Valerie Bertinelli as a spokesperson for the Jenny Craig weight loss program. JC has confirmed that Queen will start in January.

Queen Latifah is one of the few celebrities who has been proud of her plus-sized figure over the years. According to Jenny Craig’s people, her ads won’t be about getting smaller or fitting into a certain size dress, but will be focused on living a healthier lifestyle.

They say, “We are thrilled to have Queen Latifah support our mission of improving health by taking her first step toward achieving a more healthful lifestyle.”

Congrats, Queen, but don’t forget that big is beautiful, too!

Lily Allen Flaunts It

Lily Allen needs to make up her mind. She once said in an interview that the reason she started exercising to lose weight was because of a heart murmur but in the cover article of British GQ, she’s saying otherwise.

Lily is well known for publicly attacking every celebrity and she says “A lot of that stuff I said was because I didn’t feel confident. I felt like, ‘Oh God, I’m short, fat, ugly…and I hate all these people who flaunt their beauty.’ Ever since a kid I’ve felt like I’m possibly the uncoolest, naffest person ever to walk the earth. But I feel great at the moment. I actually don’t have one bad thing to say about anything.”

So did she lose weight for her health or did she lose it because she was insecure?
