Sara Rue does Jenny Craig (and Eastwick)

Isn’t that the greatest blog title ever? *Insert super huge winking emoticon here*

It’s true. Sara is the newest spokesperson for Jenny Craig.A brief clip from the press release:

“Losing this weight goes beyond just what it will mean physically. It’s about establishing emotional stability in my life. My weight has been on a rollercoaster since I was a young girl, but I’m committed to gaining control of this aspect of my life,” said Rue. “My hope is that my story may inspire other women who are facing similar battles to seek help and take control. Through a newfound commitment, my family’s support and the one-on-one personal consultant from Jenny Craig, I’m confident that I will be able to get off this rollercoaster once and for all,” she added.

Sara tweeted the following on Wednesday morning – “Big day (yikes) I hope all my Twitter peeps will be supportive… So … Here’s the news. I’m the new Jenny Craig spokesperson. Omg! :0″

In my journey of trying to gather what information I could for this site when I first set it up, I came upon a bunch of posts, mostly older, regarding what people thought about her weight loss between 2005-2008 or so. Some people preferred her before she lost the weight, some preferred after. I would say that I prefer whichever makes her happy, and right now she’s doing what makes her happy. Like her looking however you want, but please support her in her decision to take this on. It’s what she wants!

Here’s a pic of her looking stunning as usual at the press conference (and yes, apparently it was cold. Haha):

Also, you can go to her section of jennycraig.com here and watch a quick video introducing her, but I’ve also put it here in case for some reason you can’t watch it there.

Now for the Eastwick news. Not good news, particularly, but news nonetheless. It seems that ABC has decided to pull the final 2 airing episodes from the schedule and move Ugly Betty (a show I’ve never even watched) into it’s time slot. We may still be able to see these final episodes during the summer if they choose to run them, but who knows? The show is starting to get truly interesting, and I think it’s unfortunate that so much time was spent building up to the episodes where the girls start to admit and even embrace their powers, but I’m not a professional critic, so I won’t pretend to be so here.

Also, I received an email from someone with another plan to save the show, though it seems ABC certainly won’t bring it back if they’re pulling the last 2 recorded eps. Here are the contents of the email, in case anyone out there wants to give it some thought:

If you want to see more of Sara on TV, help us try to save Eastwick. I've
compiled a list of the top advertisers for the first 8 episodes of Eastwick.
Please write to them and thank them for sponsoring the show! Maybe they can
convince ABC to renew Eastwick!

    Hi Luke. I see that we have the same tastes because I fell in love with that Sara Rue photo too. I even sent Mike Pingel an email asking for a bigger version a few days back. Still no response unfortunately. It sucks that Eastwick was canceled. I was really getting into that show. Hopefully Lifetime or The WB will pick it up. I’m not sure about this Jenny Craig stuff. I think Sara looks gorgeous just the way she is. That photo you posted is a great example of that.

    P.S.
    Could you please ask Sara what year she was born? Her birthday is listed as January 26, 1979, but the media has been saying that she’s 31. And yes, I did ask her myself. But she never responds to me. But she loves you and will probably respond to you if you ask her. Thanks.
