Two of Hollywood's curviest leading ladies have made a pact to never lose weight.
Rebel Wilson and Melissa McCarthy

Two of Hollywood’s curviest leading ladies have made a pact to never lose weight.

Rebel Wilson, 27, and Melissa McCarthy, 43, are proud of their figures and have reportedly banded together to support each other so neither cave to the pressure to be thin.

“They’ve agreed that they have to hold the line and provide a positive image for overweight girls everywhere,” a friend told RadarOnline.

Both women have been bullied because of their weight and have repeatedly spoken out about the “hate” overweight people face every day.

Here are some other celebrities who have quit dieting and vowed to love their bodies as they are.

Rebel Wilson and Melissa McCarthy have vowed to keep their curves.

Jennifer Lawrence says dieting and working out is not for her.

Dawn French told The Weekly: “I’ve been a fat person all my life… I have never had a problem with it”

Jessica Simpson has said she’ll never be a size zero. “I’m comfortable with me. I love my curves.”

Christina Aguilera has lost weight recently but said she refused to cut out her favourite foods.

Liv Tyler said once she had her child she didn’t want to think about herself. “So I stopped worrying about diets,” she said.

Queen Latifah told People magazine “”I don’t really diet. I kind of keep everything in moderation, exercise and eat right”.

Curvy songstress Adele says she is happy with her weight and would only diet if it affected her health.

Jennifer Lopez confessed to firing a manager for forcing her to lose weight.

Christina Hendricks wants to encourage women to “celebrate what [they] are born with”.

Kate Winslet says she is in no rush to bounce back to her pre-baby body after she gives birth.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley reportedly dismissed an agent for telling her to eat “one piece of sushi a day”.

Kelly Clarkson says she is happy with her fluctuating size. “I’ve never felt uncomfortable on the red carpet or anything.”

Khloe Kardashian’s divorce payday

Khloe Kardashian’s divorce payday

While Khloe Kardashian steadies herself for her upcoming divorce from Lamar Odom, the world is wondering just how much money the reality star will walk away with.

Despite signing a pre-nup in 2009, when the couple tied the knot after one month together, the buxom reality star looks set to gain a few extras to make up for her heartache.

The ex-NBA player, who is reportedly worth over $US100m, waived any rights to Khloe’s fortune and is leaving her their $4m California home and her giant $US1m engagement rock.

While Khloe’s current fortune stands at $US18m, a figure which pales in significance to Lamar’s wealth, the youngest Kardashian’s future earning capacity easily trumps that of the ex-Lakers star.

But Lamar isn’t interested in squabbling over money.

Instead, he’s choosing to make the spilt as painless as possible by leaving Khloe with all the jewellery and other gifts he has given her over the years – along with a few bonuses.

“Khloe will be entitled to $US500,000 for each year married to Lamar and she could petition for spousal support,” a source told Radar.

“However, she would only be entitled to spousal support from Lamar for half the length of their marriage, which would be less than two years.”

In a strange twist, the sassy Kardashian will remain as the beneficiary on Lamar’s $US10m life insurance policy for life.

But rumours of a cheating clause in the pre-nup have been dismissed, with a source confirming this “just does not exist.”

The basketball star has been making headlines for months over his alleged drug addiction, DUI charges and partying and cheating ways.

While Khloe has been pleading with Lamar to get help, she apparently can no longer stand by and watch her husband destroy their marriage and filed for divorce on December 13.

The 29-year-old star spoke out publicly for the first time last month about her failing marriage to Lamar, telling her brother Rob on Keeping Up With The Kardashians about her battle to remain supportive.

“I’m at war with myself. I want to help him, but sometimes the best help is stepping away,” Khloe said.

The Duchess of Cambridge and George with two of the gifts she has reportedly purchased him.

Spies in Trotters on the King’s Road in Chelsea, one of Kate’s favourite children’s stores, report the Duchess has been in several times in the past two weeks, snapping up cute items for her five-month-old son.

One jumper, aptly named ‘George’, features a Union Jack flag on the chest and is described as the perfect outfit for “afternoon tea with the Queen”.

Another item, a long-sleeved grey t-shirt, features three Buckingham Palace guards.

“Kate thought they were great fun to give George,” the source told the UK’s Daily Mirror. “He’ll be King one day so the flag is very appropriate.”

William, Kate and George will spend Christmas Day with the Queen and other senior royals at Sandringham in Norfolk.

They are reportedly planning to travel there on Christmas Eve, when the family opens presents before attending a candlelit black tie dinner. They will stay for the Christmas morning church service and traditional lunch, after which everyone gathers around the TV to watch the Queen’s annual Christmas address.

The Cambridges are expected to stay for the annual Boxing Day pheasant shoot before travelling to Kate’s parents’ Berkshire home where they will enjoy some private family festivities.

Artist reveals Photoshop deception in ads

Anna Hill, a student at East Carolina University, created her own Photoshop campaign showing how any woman can be transformed into a model-esque beauty.

Oprah Winfrey: Why I never had kids

Oprah Winfrey has revealed why she has never had children in a new interview.
Oprah Winfrey

The 59-year-old talk show queen says she has no regrets about remaining childless, insisting her kids would have “suffered” because they would always come second to her work.

“If I had kids, my kids would hate me,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “They would have ended up on the equivalent of The Oprah Winfrey Show talking about me; because something would have had to suffer and it would’ve probably been them.”

Oprah says she’s never been the type of woman who daydreamed about starting a family, unlike her best friend Gayle King who has always wanted to be a mum.

“Gayle was the kind of kid who, in seventh grade, was writing down her name and the names of her children,” Oprah said.

“While she was having those kind of daydreams, I was having daydreams about how I could be Martin Luther King.”

Oprah Winfrey on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter.

Oprah has previously spoken about why she has never married Stedman, her boyfriend of 27 years. She said she would die a “never-married woman” because she could never behave like a traditional “wife”.

“If you ever interviewed him, he would tell you that had we married, we would not be together today,” Oprah said. “Because he’s a traditional man and this is a very untraditional relationship.

“I think it’s acceptable as a relationship, but if I had the title ‘wife’, I think there would be other expectations for what a wife is and what a wife does. First of all, you’ve got to come home sometimes.”
