The following is a list of celebrities who have been fat at one time or another and have fought back to join the rest of the starved Hollywoodites.

1. Janet Jackson: This singing, dancing super star has seen her fair share of yo-yo moves with her weight.
She started out as a pudgey kid, and grew into a chunky teen, then sky rocketed out into her own career debuting her crazy rock hard abs.
You never know what you're going to get with this Jackson, weight wise, but I will say - of everyone in her family, she's got to be the most stable.
To have a problem with food would be a welcome problem in the Jackson family!

2. Britney Spears: Everyone's watched Brittney's demise over the last few years since she got together with K. Fed.  And now we are all watching her fight back from her drunken, fast food eating state, to her perky buff little pop idol self.
And I think i speak for us all when I say thank god we don't have to stare at her no-no spot anymore, listen to her DUI arrests and rehab trips, and YAY her hair is blonde again!

3. Jerry O'Connell: This actor has been slim for a while now, and is married to one of the hottest models around - Rebecca Romijn.
But he hasn't always been so slim and daper.
Jerry started out as a chunky little kid staring in the hit movie Stand By Me back in the '80s.  The boy's come a long way since then.

4. Marie Osmond: Coming from a musically talented family must make you want to eat! Marie is another example of  a celeb who has gone up and down with her weight.
Most recently she put herself on the NutriSystem diet and lost a ton of weight. Last year she was on Dancing With The Stars (I'm sure you all remember the infamous fainting scene).
Osmond is now slim and stealthy, but hasn't always been this way. But I will give this to her - the woman's had like a million kids... so I'll cut her some slack!

5. Jessica Simpson: Jess is Hollywood's latest victim of the bulge, and being scrutinized for it.
This is not a success story yet, but I decided that Siimpson deserved to make our list because I believe she has the potential to starve herself back into skinny-dom as to be accepted by all of us and the magazine critics.
You can do it girl!

Now, what have we learned from this list? All of our stars have been child stars, and have come from talented, public families.
If you want to stay sane and slim - stay away from Hollywood!
