Celebrity Fit Club is one of those train-wreck kinda shows – you don’t want to watch… but you start to watch…and before you know it, you’re totally sucked in! I love watching B-, C-, D-listers struggle with their weight. Come on, you know you like it too!

I saw this little nugget about Carnie Wilson joining the Fit Club gang and couldn’t “weight” (hee hee, couldn’t resist) to see who else would be hopping on those giant scales. Just an aside, but – really? Is that huge scale necessary? Goofiest reality show gimmick, for sure!

Anyhoo, Carnie, once weighing 300 pounds, has lost a reported 20 dress sizes from gastric bypass surgery in 1999 (which seems a bit like cheating, doesn’t it?) and still struggles to keep the weight off following the recent birth of her daughter. According to Entertainment Tonight, she still has 40 more pounds to lose, so off she goes to Celebrity Fit Club.

The other “celebrities” include Tina Yothers (“Family Ties”), Vincent Pastore (“The Sopranos”), R&B singer Angie Stone, Nick Turturro (“NYPD Blue”), Erika Eleniak (“Baywatch”), rapper Bonecrusher, and Ted Lange (the bartender from “Love Boat” – that alone should have you watching!). Celebrity Fit Club premieres Sunday, August 6th.
