Carrie Fisher Turns to Jenny Craig to Drop Pounds

Carrie Fisher has come a long way since playing princess Leia in the megahit movie, 'Star Wars.' And, like many of us, she has added a few pounds.

So much so that she is turning to Jenny Craig to shed 30 pounds, signing on to be a spokesperson for the weight loss program -- one of America's most popular (and most heavily marketed) dieting programs.

In joining Jenny Craig, she follows in the footsteps of Jason Alexander and Valerie Bertinelli, two high-profile celebrities who have also acted as spokespersons as they dropped the pounds.

Company insiders say Ms. Fisher has already dropped 12 pounds. Stay tuned to your television for a commercial featuring her in a shape much more similar to a Star Wars action heroine.
