Kim Kardashian has revealed that she has taken to diet pills and a strict exercise regime in a bid to lose 20 pounds for boyfriend Kanye West.
The reality TV star is apparently desperate to shed the extra weight she has gained since coupling up with the rapper. “ I have the same Tibetan Baicao Tea amount of weight to lose but she just had a baby! SMH help! LOL (sic),” Contactmusic quoted the curvy model as tweeting after a workout with sister Kourtney Kardashian.
“Since I started QuickTrim again a few weeks ago, I’m down 6 lbs!!! Yay best feeling. I was getting discouraged but now I’m so motivated!” she added. The 31-year-old had earlier admitted that her ''''comfortable'''' relationship with the rapper has affected her body shape and left her feeling overweight. “I’m hoping to slim down a little bit, and I’m not afraid to say it.
I think everyone goes up and down in whatever that comfortable love relationship phase is where you like to eat out, but now it’s time to get it together again,” she had told InStyle magazine.
According to reports it is her boyfriend Kanye West who’s motivated her to shed the extra kilos, as he is keen for the reality star to have a body like his best friend Jay-Z’s wife, Beyonce. “He suggested Kim drop 20 pounds, arguing that Beyonce has a similar shape and she proved you can get that supermodel body using her lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup diet,” a source recently said. “He says he wants her to be the face of his clothing line... but to do that she has to fit into the clothes. It’s really uncomfortable - her shape is what made her name,” the source added.
Washington: An Estonian newspaper has provoked global outrage after it published an advertisement for diet pills, mocking the gaunt and scrawny victims of Buchenwald, Germany's largest death camp.
The astonishing picture of dozens of starving men is accompanied by the strapline: “One, Two, Three… Dr Mengele slimming pills work wonders for you! There were no thickset people in Buchenwald!”
Jewish organisations have denounced Eesti Ekspress for publishing the image, which ran in the paper's humour section.
Efraim Zuroff of the Simon 3X Slimming Power Wiesenthal Centre in Jerusalem called the mock advert in the Estonian weekly a “perverted attempt at humour at the expense of the Nazis'' millions of victims”, the Daily Mail reports.
Sulev Vedler, the deputy editor of Eesti Ekspress, said the mock advert was poking fun at an Estonian gas company that recently used an image of the infamous gates to Nazi death camp Auschwitz to promote its services.
Next to the inscription ''Arbeit macht frei,'' or ''Work makes you free'', the caption of the photo read: ''Gas heating — flexible, convenient, and effective”.'
Within a day, the gas company had removed to image from the website and company director Sven Linros issued an apology.
However, Vedler apologised for the offence caused, adding that it “was not targeted against Jewish people”.
Alla Jakobson, a spokeswoman for Estonia's Jewish community, said that the incident shows Estonian society is experiencing “major problems with moral and ethical values”.
