8. Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson is known as much for her weight struggles as she is for her family background and catchy songs. Janet, now the current spokeswoman for Nutrisystem, told Prevention magazine this year that she’s an emotional eater who turns to everything from chocolate, to cake, to caramel apples when she’s feeling distressed. She also acknowledged that people enjoy following her weight loss and weight gain, as they find it easy to connect with someone whose figure fluctuates in the public eye. In 2006, Jackson reportedly hit 82kg, which put her at risk of diabetes. Hopefully, now that she’s back to being in shape, people will lay off the bets on when the chubbiness will reappear.
