Fergie covered Barracuda for the Shrek the 3rd soundtrack. I'll assume they were performing a duet here and poor, former Meth-addict Fergie misunderstood what actual "vocal gymnastics" were. Ann's laughing because she's thinking, "Flip lil girl, just keep flipping while the adults sing."

That a slow metabolism = morbid obesity is simply urban legend. It's very simple- burn more calories than you consume.

Eat most of your calories in the morning and don't eat at night. But most importantly, stop stuffing your piehole with Twinkies!! I think it's one thing to be politically correct and say that she should love and accept her beyond-Boticellian body image and deal with it. But this level of obesity is simply life-threatening, especially for someone of her age and activity level. I would call it for what it is: personal recklessness.

^ Agree about the diet & exercise thing (although it's really easy for people who have never struggled with weight to say "just eat less & move more - duh!") What I disagree with is exactly how big she actually is. The pic that Pete posted is not flattering at all, and while I'm not trying to deny that she's obese, that pic makes her look much larger than she is. She's pulling her head back, giving herself the dreaded double chin look & those oversized coats she wears don't help either. Did you guys see the whole performance? Her legs & hips aren't that big. She's large chested these days & has more weight on her shoulders & midsection. Of course, this means she's an "apple" & carries her weight on her top half, which as Hejira knows puts her at higher risk for heart problems, so that's what her main concern should be. I've seen them live within the last few years & for a large woman, that bitch can MOVE. She's getting a 90 minute workout every time they play live.
