« Karina Smirnoff Finally Ditches Her Engagement Ring | Home January 16, 2012 03:44 PM by Ashley Lee Former Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels announced in 2010 that her top priority was starting a family, and she began the adoption process in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Jillian Michaels left The Biggest Loser at the end of its 11th season, and although the show replaced her with two people, both Justin Bieber’s trainer and Anna Kournikova, the show’s ratings are down significantly. Is that just because of her absence? While ratings went up last week compared to the previous week, the last episode in October had season-low ratings, with a 1.9 among 18 to 49-year-olds and just 5.45 million viewers. In a piece about NBC’s ongoing woes, The New York Times reported that “The Office,’ the drama ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ and the reality show ‘The Biggest Loser’ are all down significantly this season. Not coincidentally, important cast members have left all three shows.” Jillian agrees that it’s because she left, although she mitigates the arrogance of that by saying the same would have happened if Bob Harper left. “I know if Bob had left and I’d stayed, the ratings would bomb in the same way,” she said. Jillian is also upset that the show d...

Departing The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels appeared in ads for GoDaddy that aired during the Super Bowl last night, as did Celebrity Apprentice winner Joan Rivers. Like most of the company’s ads that objectify women for absolutely no reason at all except to be edgy and drive traffic to its web site, the ads featured both women partially naked—and Joan Rivers insists that the body in the ad was her own, not a model’s. Joan Rivers’ ad features her as the surprise ending , as she’s revealed by Jillian Michaels and Danica Patrick to be the latest “GoDaddy girl,” i.e. woman who’s willing to let the company pay them to show their body but pretend that it’s not just for titillation. After it aired, Joan insisted on Twitter , “Yes, yes, yes, it’s my body in the GoDaddy ad.” But Access Hollywood reported that “the spot that features the 77-year-old’s head on the body of 25-year-old actress/model Tabitha Taylor.” The second ad has Jillian and Danica pretending to object to being obje...
