--Tough-as-nails Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels is under fire for calling the contestants she works out on the NBC series "monkeys." In a message posted on her Facebook page, Michaels wrote about spending a brief break from filming with her boyfriend. "Get a few hours together and then I am off to BL. Monkeys are back on campus. Work to be done," she blogged. A rep for the show insists the phrase was a "term of endearment." [TVGuide.com]

Former Seinfeld star Jason Alexander has signed on to become the newest Jenny Craig spokesperson, following in the footsteps of Valerie Bertinelli, Kirstie Alley and Phylicia Rashad.

Tell Us What You Think
7LMAO Ted. I have a couple of Jillian's exercise DVD's. They're excellent workouts, but she is incredibly annoying.
Man faced slag!!
yeah she may want to think before she speaks, just a thought lol
Wow, got some Jillian haters here! So what if the woman has bigger hips...GUESS WHAT! SHE'S A WOMAN! Women are supposed to have curves. That's how we are made! I have seen her skinny legs, I would definately hire her to train me. So what if she's "bigger" in some areas then you...I bet she could out lift you all any day of the week. And yes she yells and screams, but it works! Plus, Jillian's yelling isn't even that bad. Try being in the military and going through real boot camp.
The article almost reads like she took a break from filming with her boyfriend. I wonder what they film? Her yelling at him and giving him no breaks as he pleasures her? And then immediately afterward yelling "What have you done today??!!!"
She looks like a monkey. And seriously-this woman is a TRAINER, how could she still have such big hips and straight legs??? They even hide her hips in all infomercials and on the front of her workout DVDs. I am a naturally thin but if I needed a trainer, seriously, I'd think if that is all she can do w/ her own body from the hips down, why would I want to hire her??
Jillian Michaels has a BOYfriend?! What's his name, "Irene?"
