You might want to be sitting down for this news ... Apparently, 10 percent of people should truly embrace our inner couch potato and say to hell with exercise, because it's actually hurting them. I know -- this is so not the research our dear FLOTUS Michelle Obama, the Biggest Loser trainers, and all the other anti-obesity advocates out there want to hear right now. But it's true!

In a study of 1,687 people, about 10 percent actually experienced increased heart risk (based on worse blood pressure, levels of insulin, HDL cholesterol, or triglycerides) when they were rigorously working out. While they call the finding "bizarre," it really shouldn't come as that much of a surprise to anyone who acknowledges that not every body does best with a hardcore workout program. In fact, for some people, intense exercise can make it harder to get fit.

Mila Kunis is a gorgeous actress who is famous for many films, but perhaps none more so than Black Swan. In it, she dropped an enormous amount of weight until she weighed a reported 95 pounds. Now she is getting headlines for her weight GAIN, but she doesn't care. With good reason.

According to Kunis, she can lose it again. She believes that anyone can.

This flies in the face of many who are overweight and claim they simply "can't" become thin. But, according to Kunis (and most doctors), it's simple: create a deficit and lose weight. Period. Here is what Kunis said:

"Kissing Bug"Oh jeez, really? Chagas disease? Between zombies and horrible new drugs and god knows what else, the last thing we needed to hear about this week was an epidemic known as the "new HIV/AIDS of the Americas."

But that's exactly what the tropical illness is being called, and, well, the concept is kind of freaking everybody out. Of course!

Chagas is a parasite transmitted by an insect known as "the kissing bug" (which often bites people's lips, for some reason, hence the moniker). The comparison to HIV comes from the disease's long incubation period and the fact that it's pretty much impossible to cure once it hits the chronic phase. And it is indeed a huge problem in Central and South America, particularly for those living in poverty, and more and more cases are being seen in the U.S., mostly in Texas and along the Gulf Coast.

But the similarities between HIV and Chagas more or less end there.

Here's how the diseases are more different than alike:

As someone who has battled her weight her entire life -- mainly as a result of frustrating genetics, hormonal and metabolism issues, a keen interest in gourmet food, and sedentary activities -- I was horrified to read about a recent study that basically showed just how much overweight women and even formerly overweight women are, well, sort of screwed. The research, published in the journal Obesity, found that despite having similar heights and weights, women who had a history of weight trouble are perceived as less attractive than those who had always been thin.

So, in other words, even if you lose the weight, it's going to haunt you for your entire life, and you'll still never on the same level as a woman who has naturally never battled the scale? What a nightmare!

Jessica Simpson has come a long, long way since her "Chicken of The Sea" days. A long way, weight wise that is. Of course, it's all totally worth it! Have you seen how adorable her new beautiful baby girl Maxwell Drew is? Now, J. Simps is naturally looking to shed the extra flab -- and as you alllll know, she's doing it on Weight Watchers.

It's interesting, how everyone seems to be all over Jessica for her deal with the weight loss company. Heck, I say if the woman wants to lose weight -- then she's totally gearing up for success here.

In my eyes, Jess is just the latest celeb to jump on the Weight Watchers bandwagon. Jennifer Hudson, Jenny McCarthy, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Tina Fey have all been successful on the program, too. No wonder why, though, because heck -- Weight Watchers works. Trust me. After losing more than 60 pounds on the program myself, I know it does.

FAT! It's the most dreaded thing you can call a woman. It can crush her self-image quicker than any other insult, including the c-word and b-word.

Well if British politicians have their way, using that confidence-killing insult will become a hate crime. Yes. An actual hate crime. A parliament committee on body image recommended putting "appearance-based discrimination" right up there with race and sexual discrimination.

Remember back in the good old days, when the standard response to somebody doing crazy stuff was "What are you, on crack or something?" Yeah, I called 'em "good old days" -- because as wack as crack was (and is), I've never heard of a naked crackhead eating somebody's face off.

Nope, behavior THAT extreme is apparently one of the lovelier side effects of "bath salts," the synthetic drug being blamed for the grisly Miami "cannibal" attack.

Other side effects include:

Extreme aggression, paranoia, psychosis, depression, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, temporary bursts of seemingly super-human strength, death ... and, in the case of one guy, running from the cops at 1 a.m. because you think you're being "chased by lightning."

Um, awesome. What the hell ARE bath salts, anyway?!

Between taking classes, planning her wedding, and filming the last season of Teen Mom, Catelynn Lowell has her plate full these days. But that hasn't stopped her from eating better and exercising -- and it shows! Catelynn has reportedly dropped almost 20 pounds and 10 inches since September, and new photos show her looking not just trimmer, but happier and healthier, which is most important.

So the obvious question is: What the heck is she doing to slim down? Weight loss pills a la Snooki or Kim Kardashian? Growing her own veggies a la Amber Portwood's baby daddy Gary Shirley? Some other wacky reality show star diet?
