7:50AM Mark Graham | To say that Meg Ryan’s career is in a free-fall would be to imply that her career hasn’t already hit rock bottom. While it’s true that she’s poised for a potential comeback in this
fall’s remake of The Women, anyone with half a brain realises that her star died the day the news broke that she was schtupping Russell Crowe on the set of Proof Of Life back in 2000. Making matters even worse for America’s Former Sweetheart™, in Meg’s newest (straight-to-DVD) movie called My Mom’s Hot Boyfriend, she becomes the latest in a long string of actresses to
strap herself into a fat suit only to magically “slim down” to win the heart of a handsome man — a trick which stopped being funny the second time that the Friends gang went to that well. While we’re not about to get up on a pedestal and start going off about the offensiveness of fat suits, this news did prompt us to go back and take a look at some of the stars who have donned prosthetics to plump up on-screen in the past (rarely, if ever, to humorous effect). Play along with our latest round of Defamer Bingo after the jump.
