Dancing With The Stars is known for the quick step and the Viennese Waltz, but it also has a track record of helping celebrity contestants drop excess pounds quickly. This season, by only week two of competition, contestants such as Chaz Bono, Nancy Grace, and Ricki Lake have already trimmed their figures noticeably.
ABC News confirms that Lake, a former talk show host who has publicly discussed her struggle to lose weight, has lost 12 inches rehearsing for Dancing with the Stars. Her performance on the second week's live show exuded self-confidence; Lake and her partner topped the leaderboard. Lake wore a decidedly skimpier costume and matched its flapper appeal with a pin-curled hairstyle and vibrant magenta lipstick that popped on the stage. A glowing Lake is delighted to work on shaping up for her approaching wedding, according to The Los Angeles Times.
In fact, Alley is looking so good these days that she recently walked in a fashion show during New York City's Fashion Week. On the catwalk, Alley's figure looked amazing, and incidentally, so did her hair and makeup. Rocking a beehive-inspired hairdo and bold eye makeup, Alley emanated confidence and looked younger than ever.
Not to be outdone, Nancy Grace shared that she too has seen pounds drop from her figure in just the few weeks she has trained for the live performance show. Grace, who suffered a costume malfunction this week on live television, has shed at least 10 pounds already according to AOL.
If stars such as Lake and Grace continue to shrink, fans will surely tune in to see how amazing their favorites are looking each week.
