People magazine this week features female rap, jazz and blues star turned actress, Queen Latifa on the cover.
She talks in the article about her recent breast reduction and why she chose to have it done.
About time mainstream media starts profiling Girls with Curves instead of the typical under nourished blonds. The funny thing is when I saw the magazine on the newsstand, it was nestled between two other covers, both of which blared “Lose 20lb by Christmas” and “Overweight Celebs”

In an exclusive interview with Glamour Magazine, Star Jones finally admitted to what we already knew. She had gastric by-pass surgery. She “claims” that she gained 75lb after being depressed in 2002 after her 40th birthday. She had the surgery in 2005.

“I used to look in the mirror and take pride in my figure, but that was when I was legitimately a full-figured woman,” she says. “I’d gradually gone from full-figured to morbidly obese.”

Sadly, in this blogger’s opinion, Star gave in to the distorted image of what is viewed as “beautiful” but if you have seen pictures of her today, she looks terrible.

Poor Al, her husband, who fell in love with a full-figured woman and what he has now is a Stick.

I know women who have waited years to get WLS. It seems that Star got it as quickly as one gets a new tattoo. But we all know that WLS is just a tool. If she hasn’t changed her habits, she’ll be back shopping with the rest of us from Lane Bryant.
