Danny Cahill, the Season 8 winner of the popular weight loss reality show The Biggest Loser, is understandably thrilled that he was able to shed 239 pounds through “good old-fashioned exercise and calorie counting.” His only problem continues to be the fact that he is still sporting a great deal of loose and hanging skin.
The former 430 pounder shed more than 55% of his body weight, winning the $250,000 price in early December. Cahill has been on a promotional tour for the past few months, singing the praises of the television show that changed his life.
Danny appeared last week as a guest on The Doctors and lifted his shirt to reveal his excess skin to Dr. Drew Ordon, who went on to demonstrate how the problem can be surgically remedied – see video here.
Ordon offered to perform the skin reduction surgery compliments of The Doctors. Cahill accepted the offer and will return to the show at a future date to reveal his transformed body.

Season 5 winner Ali Vincent, who lost 112 pounds, has a different take on excess skin. One can only speculate that she has better skin memory than her male counterpart. We will go a step further to suggest that if her stomach looked anything like Danny Cahill’s, she would have already gone under the knife.
Check out what she had to say in the video below.

Sarah Palin is being ridiculed for using her own personal hand-o-prompter to provide talking points during the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, while knocking Barack Obama as the “charismatic guy with a teleprompter.” The crib notes were: energy, budget tax cuts, and lift American spirits.
Palin’s use of her palm as a cheat sheet really irked political satirist Stephen Colbert. He took up the discussion on his show last night, pointedly mocking her speech. The comedian went on to revisit the subject of Palin’s call for Rahm Emanuel’s firing because he used the word “retard” while excusing Rush Limbaugh’s use of the same word because it was merely satire. At that point Colbert offered up this nugget: “Sarah Palin is a f***king retard.”
Another hot political jewel today is the Miss Me Yet? Bush billboard. The signage depicts a smirking George W. Bush giving a little wave.
Check out Palin palm reading photos and the Colbert video below.

Clearly Barbra Streisand’s world isn’t driven by money. The superstar was offered a 3-year $100 million deal to headline in Las Vegas but she isn’t interested.
The deal would have been one of the biggest Vegas contracts in history. Celine Dion took Vegas by storm in 2003 and sold out her shows night after night until wrapping “A New Day” in December 2007. Since her departure from Vegas, nobody has been able to fill her shoes — not even Bette Midler, Elton John or Cher.
Streisand is planning to go on tour this summer. The hefty sum of $100 million is an insane amount of money but Barbra isn’t interested. That decision is definitely a huge loss for Sin City.

The internet has been buzzing for the past few days with rumors of a billboard showing George W. Bush waving on one side, and the question Miss Me Yet? emblazoned beside his photo. Many called the rumors nothing more than an urban myth until the billboard photo was produced by Minnesota Public Radio.
The signage appears along I-35 near Wyoming, Minnesota, a northern suburb of the Twin Cities. The search is on to find out who paid for the large ad. According to MPR, the billboard is being funded by a group of small business owners from the seven country metropolitan area.
The anonymous members believe that they are not being heard in Washington and decided to send a message of their own to Congress and President Barack Obama. They are banking on a grass roots effort to keep the billboard up through donations.
Political satirist Stephen Colbert verbally attacked the former Alaska governor last night, proclaiming that “Sarah Palin is a f**king retard.”

One shareholder of Playboy isn’t going to sit back and watch any longer as offers to purchase the enterprise come in and get turned down. A class action lawsuit has been filed blaming founder Hugh Hefner for continuing his expensive lifestyle while his empire falls.
There is an investment company who has analyzed the business and found this: “We think the wild card here is Hugh Hefner. If you were Hugh Hefner, 81, would you give up the parade of busty blondes, the fancy mansion and the reality TV show for a payout?”
In 1999 you could purchase a share of Playboy stock for $36. Today you can get the same stock for a mere $3.14 – far less than the $5.99 it takes to purchase a monthly issue of the magazine.
The shareholders have had enough. The suit goes on to say, “Hefner has continued to live the good life and make sure everyone knows it. Hefner remains in the limelight, showing up at media events and at the Playboy mansion…with his girls by his side.”
I has not been revealed (yet) how much the shareholders are looking to gain from the lawsuit. No matter what happens it is a safe bet that Hugh will never have to go without his bevy of babes.
