Uh, TMI, Cheryl Burke!



Cheryl Burke of Dancing With the Stars has gained some weight. Consequently, the tabloids have been rather mean to her. So, like many celebs, she decided to speak out:

"I decided over the summer to stop taking birth control pills. I did it thinking that I was going to lose more weight for the season," she tells the latest issue of TV Guide. "But it actually did the opposite. It made me gain weight."

What is sadder--the reason she stopped taking them or the excuse of gaining weight?

WHY does she even think she needs to provide an explanation?? And I'm sorry, the birth-control-pill-made-me-gain-weight excuse is equivalent to my-thyroid-made-me-do-it explanation in my book. It's usually just a few pounds, mmk?

Lady, you still look great! Rise about the gossip like a phoenix and don't be all TMI and provide a phony excuse about it!
