Last Days of Shooting

August 26th, 2008 / Author: matt

Well, my time in North Carolina is coming to an end!

It’s been really fun though, but a lot of work. I tried to do my best with eating healthy while I was here, but I didn’t get to work out much at all. With me, Cody and Zoie in a little studio apartment and being gone about 12 hours a day, I’ve had no time or room to keep up with my workout regimen.

Yet somehow, I feel like I’ve lost some weight. My pants are a bit looser — I have no idea how it happened, but I’m not asking any questions! Now when I get home, I’m going to hop back on the treadmill and keep up with my program a lot better!

I did bring my Nutrisystem with me though and was able to bring it to the set most days. Thank goodness the food is really easy to take wherever you go, that really saved me from eating some of the unhealthy craft service food! 

These past couple of weeks seem to have gone quickly and now I can’t wait to get home.  It was like a little vacation for the family, but I think going home and laying in my own bed will be the best part. Cody started his drive home late last night in hopes that he’ll arrive back at about the same time as I do this weekend.

Ah, home sweet home!!

The Incredibly Shrinking Osmonds

November 20th, 2007 / Author: cwillett

Dancing With the Stars semifinalist Marie Osmond has lost an incredible 30 pounds while foxtrotting, rumba-ing and occasionally fainting on the hit ABC reality show — and now she’s put her famous brothers on a diet as well!

The combination of Marie’s Nutrisystem diet plan and hours of grueling dance practice have worked so well for the 48-year-old entertainer, that she’s out to convince her family to join in on the pound-shedding activities. “She put all of us on Nutrisystem now,” her brother Merrill Osmond laughs to OK! “We’re just starting. She’s a great example. We’re so proud of her. Now we all have to lose some weight!”

Marie explains that her brothers’ hectic performing schedule requires an easy diet: “These guys work so much and Nutrisystem is convenient. You just pull a box of food and it tastes good and you [also] eat salads, vegetables and fruits.”

By Oct. 2, Marie had lost 20 pounds from the diet and exercise combo. And after the Nov. 19 final four performance show, she revealed to OK! her weight loss should now add up to a perfect score: “30 pounds. Three tens! C’mon Bruno!”

Marie’s brother Jimmy Osmond said he’d love to match his sister’s impressive weight loss. “I’m just getting started.”

And it’s not just weight loss that has the family working together. Recently, Donny Osmond announced that he and Marie, who rocketed to fame together as a duo in the 1970s, will be performing a string of shows together at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas next July. “Marie and I have decided we’re coming back together again,” Donny said about the upcoming shows. “The two of us can hardly wait.”

Meanwhile, Marie, who earned the lowest cumulative score of the night although she was praised by the judges, said she’s not going to cook a big Thanksgiving feast. “I’m going to take my kids out to dinner this year.”

Marie Osmond: “I’m Really Fine!”

October 24th, 2007

Dancing With the Stars’ Marie Osmond told OK! the day after passing out on national television that she’s doing great and is ready to perform next week.

“I’m
really fine,” Marie said. “I checked my e-mail and the response has
been incredibly sweet. I told Jon it makes me want to go out and kick
some booty and come back really strong with the paso doble, which is a
fun dance. I told him, ‘I want to be the bull and I want to kill you!’
”

But Marie wasn’t as strong as a bull on Monday’s performance show, when she fainted while waiting for her scores with partner Jonathan Roberts.

After Tuesday’s results show, which saw billionaire Mark Cuban
get the boot, Marie blamed allergies for the scary swoon. “I do have
really bad allergies and I haven’t done my inhaler. I didn’t have it
with me…[and] the air quality is so bad [due to the L.A. fires].

“Everybody backstage—they are putting hemorrhoid cream on their eyes because we’re swelling. It’s really bad air.”

Marie
says the fainting episode had nothing to do with her Nutrisystem diet —
which, along with dancing, has resulted in a more than twenty pound
weight loss. “I’m not on diet pills. My Nutrisystem diet is so healthy.
Nutritionally, I supplement. I don’t think I’ve ever been in better
shape.”
