Plus-sized RICKI LAKE says she lost 20 pounds during this season of “Dancing With The Stars”, following in the footsteps of fellow heavier-weight Kirstie Alley who lost a total record-breaking 100 pounds. What are the chances “DWTS” will eventually turn out to be a boot camp for overweight celebrities who can’t seem to shed their excess weight by themselves through gyms, dieting, personal trainers, or cleanses?
Ricki Lake vs AMA
The AMA (American Medical Association) wants to have it out with Ricki Lake over the subject of childbirth! Ricki recently produced a film called the Business of Being born, which looks unfavorably towards hospitals.
More pics after the hop…
Ricki wasn’t by any means bashing hospitals, however. TMZ says the film is about midwife aided home delivery…which is safe right? That’s how babies were born for thousands of years before the AMA! Ricki’s film discusses how it has become a business and a huge income for all babies to be born in hospitals…and she is right. Home births can be safe too.
Ricki Lake at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film “The Business of Being Born” yesterday – as the topic explains it’s about birth. And Ricki Lake gave birth to her second baby in the baby tub. Sounds intense? It probably is. Would someone watch it and tell me about it?
