Now THAT sucks

One of the big questions I've had for the past four years was:

If Ariel Sharon has been in a coma since his stroke four years ago... is he still fat?

I mean, he's on an IV drip, no? Don't you lose weight on those things? He's certainly not eating like he used to. I figured that the one good thing for Sharon would be waking up from his coma and discovering himself a hundred pounds lighter. I mean, would that make up for the coma? No. But it would be the one really awesome fringe benefit.

Well, it turns out, he's still fat.

"He looks about the same," says his doctor, Shlomo Segev in this article in the Daily Beast. "You would recognize him."

Man, that sucks.

Off the wagon!

It's tough for a leopard to change its spots...

According to my friends at Page Six, our old pal, Seth Rogen, is back to indulging in his old high caloric ways.

(Well, that's slightly extreme... he had a big pasta dinner at a Hollywood restaurant. Everyone's entitled to such an indulgence once in a while. Doesn't mean he's off the wagon.)

But I do have to admit: I'm slightly delighted to hear this.

Not that I don't wish Rogen well, but the fact that he was always a little overweight was one of his more endearing qualities. He was a stick in the eye of the standard male movie star. It was yet another reason to like him.

But I have a personal steak (uh, stake) in this: During the Knocked Up years most of my friends told me I looked like Seth Rogen -- but better. And by that, I assumed they meant thinner. When I saw how much weight he had lost for the green hornet, I was, well, slightly worried.

Please get fat again, Seth. You can do it! Please... Please?
