Star Magazine Lies About Kim Kardashian Weight Loss With Years Old Photo

July 24, 2013 by Hollywoodite

Surprisingly, most of the tabloids aside from PEOPLE didn’t put baby Prince George of Cambridge on the cover. Rather, most stuck to the usual boilerplate nonsense about reality stars… which is probably an easier sell among the royal “noise” at the checkout.

This week’s Star Magazine, for example, has an odd cover about Kim Kardashian’s baby weight. Rather than seek an actual exclusive about Kardashian, because she is basically radio silent and has been for over a month since the birth, Star decided to start making stuff up and posting old photos to illustrate their fabricated point.

The cover says “195 lbs on April 3. New mom Kim ‘I got my body back.’ How she lost 50 lbs in 40 days. Only 1,200 calories a day and grueling three hour workouts; Her surprising trick for beating cellulite; PLUS: Why she’s struggling to bond with baby North.”

First, no, she didn’t lose 50 lbs in 40 days that anyone can account for. Second, she wasn’t 195 lbs in her sixth month. Third, Jezebel.com claims the photo is from 2012 (because it was uploaded to a fan forum at that time), however, her face hasn’t looked that… um… unmolested in several years so it’s probably more like a five year old photo. In any case, the cover story’s a complete fraud.
