Today's Evil Beet Gossip

The Post-Baby Body

Here’s Jessica Alba, out and about with Cash Warren, just weeks after giving birth to little Honor Marie (who was not along for the trip).

Jessica looks much less pissed to see the cameras now that she’s lost that baby weight. She shared after Honor’s birth about how desperate she was to ditch the extra weight that made her feel unsexy. How vain is that! Like, I understand wanting to get your body back, but you were pregnant, Jess. The weight gain is nothing to be ashamed of. I mean, I’ve never been pregnant, so I can’t really say for sure, but when I’m pregnant I plan to eat anything and everything I want.

Come to think of it, I kind of do that anyway.

At dinner last night, there were four of us, and I forced everyone to order a dessert — after I’d eaten lobster, steak, oysters, bread, mashed potatoes and asparagus — and my girlfriend and I were going to share one. So there were three desserts in front of us, and I just dug the hell in. As I was scarfing down the chocolate cake, one of my guy friends was like, “Beet, try the tart,” and after I’d swallowed my gigantic bite of chocolate cake, I was like, “I dunno, dude. It’s not really on my diet,” and then I laughed at my own joke for like 10 minutes. Ha ha. I think I’m just going to start telling people I’m pregnant so I don’t have to feel guilty about eating like crap. Oh, who am I kidding? I don’t feel guilty about eating like crap. I love it!

Oh, and check out Jessica’s wedding ring. It’s kinda funny-looking. Maybe this is just a bad angle.

  • Beet, part of your charm is going on tangents; love it. now I don’t feel so strange. Yes, you gain and you’re right, nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone knows you just gave birth. Christ, look at Nicole Kidman… she lost her pillow, I mean her weight soooo fast!!

  • i don’t know. i think i felt the same way jessica alba did. blah, blah, miracle of life, blah, blah, my god my ass is huge, blah blah, wonderful miracle of god, blah blah how in the hell am i ever going to fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans again. you’re torn. you want the baby; you really do. but does the whole process have to be such a freakshow?

    shallow, maybe. but god, by the end of it you just want your body back. you finally give birth and then as if the previous 9 months weren’t enough fun, you have a 4 week period. it’s not fun and i’d have been way cranky if i had to deal with obnoxious papparazzi making fun of how my ass was growing daily.

  • I always make people get desserts, if they sound tasty. In fact, people that go out to eat with me (and are sufficiently close to me that I don’t mind sharing germs) can expect to hear my theory on “dessert-sharing”, where everyone gets a different dessert then splits it with everyone else. It’s like getting four desserts!

  • the ring is the kind that has two separate wedding bands on either side of the engagement ring. the band is so thin because it’s made completely of those tiny pave diamonds. it’s just hard to keep the three together if they’re not melded into one ring. that ring is super expensive!!

  • her ring looks kinda cool in a weird way…
    but if she didnt to get “fatter”
    she shouldnt have gotten prego.
    so she should suck it up and deal.
    my mom lostmost of her baby weight
    she was a size 2 before and shes a size 4 now.

  • Beet, Your wit is undeniable. I’m laughing my ass off thinking of you, whom I don’t even know, laughing her ass off with a mouth full of chocolate cake. TOO fuckin funny!

  • hahahahha! you seriously just made me laugh aloud. I agree with jamie. And it is totally something I would do.
