Gam critics get fat eating envy
Singer Wichayanee "Gam the Star" Piaklin has discovered there's a price to pay for getting slim: People think she's had plastic surgery or been popping diet pills.
Instead, the secret behind the recent loss of five kilos is simply strong will.
Gam had explained that the (skinny) K-pop group Girls Generation she loves inspired her to lose some weight, so she stopped eating carbohydrates at dinner. “I also dance a lot to their music videos,” she said, pointing out that a happy diet is a successful diet.
But fans of “The Star” reality show saw her drop from 70-plus kilos to less than 60 and figured she must have spent a bundle on snips or pills. The gossip left Gam upset at being so underestimated.
“Why are people saying I’m thinner because I have money?” she tweeted over the weekend. “No, it’s all about your heart and strong will. Please don’t measure everything with money.”
Different guy
Celebrity liar Nathan Oman’s time in jail for conning people out of their money taught him something: Change your name.
Interviewed on Channel 7, Suthan Oman said there’s nothing auspicious about his new moniker, and he wasn’t blaming the name Nathan for his misfortunes.
Whoever he is, he once again expressed remorse. “I’m now ready to come back. I know that in the past I made grave mistakes because I was overly confident. I blame no one but myself.”
Suthan said somebody called “Chi” has given him another chance and he’s got some morlam albums coming out, probably those prison songs we heard about. He also wants to write a book for kids and parents – a guide to lying and why you shouldn’t. He’s also selling the movie rights to his life story.
He’s at least pulling our legs here, right? No, he says, gazing into the future, “I’m not lying. This is all nothing but the truth.” Suthan was laughing when he said that, but what a great tagline for the movie!
