Weight Loss & Weight Gain

Christian Bale ... is actually pictured here. Take it in. Believe it.

That really is Christian at the Telluride Film Festival where he's promoting one movie, but clearly packing on the pounds for his next one. He's playing former VP Dick Cheney for a biopic, and his transformation is in full swing.

Bale's famously gone through extreme weight changes -- for instance, "The Machinist" and his 'Batman' roles.

But if ya find yourself missing Christian at his fighting weight ... blame Dick. Cheney.

Rick Ross is almost unrecognizable ... save for his trademark beard and tats.

Da Boss was looking like a man in charge Monday at LAX as he flaunted a seriously slimmer physique. He was flanked by his entourage as he headed to security.

The rapper, who has reportedly lost around 100 pounds, credits CrossFit for his transformation. And in true Rozay fashion ... he dubbed the popular regimen as RossFit.

Mariah Carey's ex-fiance is letting loose these days ... at least that's how he rolls on vacay.

James Packer was aboard his yacht in Tahiti Thursday ... and from the look of things, he's still reeling from his split with Mimi last October.

It was pretty nasty -- she burned her $250k wedding dress and demanded $50 mil claiming he uprooted her from her life in NYC and caused emotional distress after canceling the South American leg of her world tour.

Eddie Lacy's off-season diet plan is already paying off HUGE -- the NFL star just cashed a $55k bonus check from the Seattle Seahawks for hitting a major weight loss milestone.

EL's weight issues are no secret -- and when he signed his new deal with Seattle, the team tied $385k to specific weight loss targets ... since he reportedly blew up to 267 during the off-season.

The first checkpoint was $55k if Eddie hit 255 by May 15. The good news -- he's 253.

Cha-ching.

The next goal is 250 lbs by June which he must maintain through August. Then he must stay at 245 through the season. Basically, he gets $55k for each month he hits the target weight.

Eddie's tried P90X in the past -- and the program famously slimmed him down into the low 240s.

The big issue for Lacy ... dude loves Chinese food -- LOVES IT.

We did some Yelping -- looks like there's a handful of Chinese joints right near the Hawks practice facility.

Fluffy to Buffy? Gabriel Iglesias says that's the plan, and even though he's boxing to get it done ... do NOT call him the Mexican Butterbean!

We caught up with the comedian Friday at LAX, where he gave us a weight loss update. Remember, Fluffy canceled a few tour dates and rearranged some others to focus on his health. He took up boxing and says he's already had double digit success.

Gabriel flexed his new muscle for us, dropped a few jokes about his fitness regimen ... but also had a message for anyone else struggling with demons.

Oh, and since he brought him up -- take us out, Butterbean!

Kristin Chenoweth wants everyone hating on Kim Kardashian's "flu diet" to get off their damn high horse and take a chill pill ... because EVERYONE'S DONE IT!!

Kristin was arriving at LAX Wednesday when we asked her about Kim giving the "flu diet" a shout-out for helping her lose 6 pounds just in time for May's Met Gala.

Kim's taken some heat for saying that but you gotta hear Kristin come to Kim's defense ... she's adamant what Kim said isn't exactly breaking news, so stop sweatin' her.

How the hell did Daniel Cormier lose 1.2 pounds in 2 minutes??!?

Huge dump? Big puke? Quick sweat session??

That's the question everyone is asking after the UFC star miraculously made weight for his UFC 210 fight after a nearly missing the cut at the official weigh-in Friday morning.

Long story short ... Cormier weighed 206.2 at his initial weigh-in -- 1.2 pounds over weight.

He left the room and came back 2 minutes and 24 seconds later ... and somehow, weighed in at 205 exactly. The fight with "Rumble" Johnson is now official.

But everyone wants to know what changed in those 2 minutes. Some conspiracy theorists think he grabbed the towel that was shielding his naked body and pressed down to fool the scale.

For the record, event officials have called BS on that theory.

We've reached out to D.C. for answers. Stay tuned.

Lena Dunham is not pregnant, certainly by recent appearances, despite her character on "Girls" showing her super preggo.

We got this pic of Lena walking an L.A. street Thursday, and if anything she looks like she dropped a lot of weight.

She said recently she doesn't feel like she can win ... she's shamed when she loses weight and shamed when she doesn't.

Mama June ain't Kendra Wilkinson's type ... nothing personal, the former Playmate just likes a little more exotic booty.

We got Kendra at LAX where she applauded Mama June's massive 300 lb weight loss, but stopped short of recommending her for a Playboy spread.

Kendra has other standards in mind.

Mama June is back to working out after being sidelined by several surgeries following her dramatic weight loss, but says only time will tell if she keeps the weight off.

We got June in NYC Wednesday where she gave us a laundry list of the operations she underwent to reach her dress size 4. They sound painful, and even she says she's done going under the knife.

As for being pleased with the results ... June still has reservations about throwing on a bikini, so that's saying something.

Mama June's size 4 jeans -- she claims -- were already falling off her slimmed-down frame Monday in Midtown NYC.

June says she's lost about 300 lbs and undergone several painful plastic surgeries ... and in this video it looks like just walking is causing her pain. Unclear if her foot issues are related to the surgeries -- she was only rocking inch-high sandals.

But yeah, she's gonna need new jeans if this keeps up ... or is it down?

Yes, it's Mama June.

She's around 300 lbs lighter and a lot of other stuff has changed as well ... a boob job, plastic surgeries, the works.

She was strolling a street near her home in Georgia Sunday, and she clearly knew photogs were watching.

'From Not to Hot' sounded absurd ...

Gabriel Iglesias -- aka Fluffy -- put his tour on hold to save his life, and now it's clear what's he's been doing to get healthy ... boxing.

Iglesias canceled some stops on his hugely successful comedy tour earlier this month citing health and emotional issues. Well, now we've learned, Fluffy's been hitting the gym with celeb boxing trainer Ricky Funez and he's already dropped over 20 pounds.

At the time he stopped his tour, he weighed more than 360 lbs.

We're told Fluffy puts on the gloves 5x a week for 2 hours at a time ... putting in work in the ring and on the speed bag ... his goal is to shed 50 more pounds before hitting the road again.

Funez is no stranger to training celebs ... Justin Bieber, Floyd Mayweather and Mike Epps have all rolled through his Ten Goose Boxing in the valley.

Cue the 'Rocky' theme song!

Chrissy Metz thinks her character's struggles to lose weight on TV are a serious dose of reality ... and she might have a point.

We got Chrissy Wednesday night at The London hotel in NYC, where she explained why Kate's repeated swings and misses to drop pounds on "This Is Us" is no Hollywood fantasy, but don't equate it to failure. She put it perfectly ... "We're all in it together."

Preach.

Beware, NBA forwards ... you might have a 6'9", 300 lb problem ... 'cause TMZ Sports has video of Glen "Big Baby" Davis putting in some serious work in hopes of making an NBA comeback.

Davis hasn't been in the league since the 2014-15 season ... but he wants back in -- and we've got footage of the guy busting his ass at the Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, CA.

We're told Davis has been training at the S.A. 5-6 days a week -- working with a full team of specialists focusing on strength and endurance. He's also got a nutritionist and a "mindset development guru."

Michael Costello, fashion designer to the stars, is slimming down to comply with what he calls the industry standard -- "skinny bitch" -- and he's using lasers to do it.

Michael finished 4th on Season 8 of "Project Runway" and told us about the moment at a friend's wedding when he knew it was time to fight the fat. One button can change a lot.

He went to Dr. Rollins at Elite Body Sculpture in Bev Hills on Friday to get Airsculpt Laser Liposculpture on his stomach and waist. The procedure uses lasers to soften up your fat, then they vacuum it out. Michael says he dropped 2 sizes instantly.

Michael recorded the good doc going to work on him. Check it out ... if you can stomach it.
