Queen Latifah is proud of her full figure. Now, the voluptuous singer and actor is bringing her attitude to Jenny Craig!
Who would have guessed? Queen Latifah, who has admitted to the press in the past that she easily tips the scale at two bills and then some (supposedly very comfortable with her weight), has been announced as the new famous face for the Jenny Craig diet program.
Latifah joins Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli as a celebrity spokeswoman for the weight-loss company. But unlike Alley and Bertinelli — who lost 75 pounds and 40 pounds, respectively, with Jenny Craig — Latifah's message will be about a healthy lifestyle and that losing just 5% to 10% of weight cuts risk for diseases such as diabetes. "We wanted to reach out to people who may not want to get skinny, but may want to get healthier," says Jenny Craig marketing head Scott Parker. "You can love your curves, but we want them to be healthy curves."
