OMG Lists

Putting on a few pounds during your life is a normal occurance, as injury, stress and sickness can cause weight gain for even the fittest of the fit. The world doesn't have most of you on speed dial, so your insecurity about your body is minimalized. With celebrities, however, all weight gain is met with morbid curiosity, especially when said celeb is known for being fit. Here's 8 instances of surprising celeb weight gain.

8-Eminem

The world held its collective breath when the Real Slim Shady was asked to please stand up, and then the New Stout Shady struggled to rise, not used to the new girth he'd acquired.  Unfortunately, this gave some of society's nastiest miscreants ammunition to coin new monikers for this now rotund rapper, including such tasteless titles as:  Almond Joy, 10,000 M&Ms, and Penis Breath.  When asked where this new weight had come from, Eminem replied, "I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn't, then why would you say I Om nom nom nom."  He then literally made good on his promise to eat up other rappers and spit them out, with the exception of then spitting them back out.
 

Film and TV producers often try to paint a character as a sympathetic, lovelorn person worth rooting for, not realizing that the character actually exhibits traits that could lead to arrest. Here are 8 beloved characters who are actually stalkers.

8-  Doug Funnie

Sure, Doug seemed harmless enough with his green sweater vest and gigantic cartoon nose, but was his fascination with Patti Mayonnaise really all that innocent? At first it seemed like a normal youthful crush, but over the years that Doug was on the air we were able to delve into the mind of Doug Funnie and see how far the obsession went. Doug displayed many classic stalker characteristics besides the whole, you know, constantly thinking about and trying to be around her. He kept a journal about their every minor interaction, drew pictures of her obsessively and had delusional daydreams about being various "heroes" she needed to be rescued by. And come on, with that outfit and his nearly bald head, Doug looks like your typical perm from To Catch a Predator anyway.

The reality show judge is an interesting job. No discernable skill is required, so each judge must come up with a way to prove they actually deserve to judge the worth of other human beings. But no judge has had more success than Simon Cowell, a man that became famous for being a jerk and then seen as a loveable jerk because he is famous. So naturally every reality show judge wishes they could capture some of that Cowell charm. But some realllly want to.

6- Donald Trump

Sure, Donald Trump is one of the richest guys around. You think he'd be happy as is. But he seems to spend most of his time these days trying to prove what an opinionated jerk he can be (lest we forget his feud with Rosie), and that extends right into The Apprentice. He extends the the Simon Cowell brand of "brutal honesty" to the boardroom to let people know exactly how they failed during their tasks. Of course insulting someone's singing or looks to their face like Simon does is entertaining. Doing the same for how they managed their team while selling cupcakes isn't. Sorry Donald, keep trying. Kicking Chloe Kardashian off for having a DUI is a step in the right direction! 

Whether you love or hate fast food restaurants, you have to admit that they certainly are ubiquitous and uniform. Because of that, they're prime targets for fictionalization and parody. The following seven restaurants are memorable not only because it's so easy to see what they're making fun of, but because a small part of you wonders what the french fries taste like there.

7-Cluckin' Bell from Grand Theft Auto

Only in that utopian world where the police search five minutes for carjacking-serial killers, where acquiring a bazooka is as easy as stealing a helicopter, and where, come night, the prostitutes become as plentiful as the spent bullet casings that line the streets, could the awesome combination of Taco Bell and KFC be found.  If you've never gotten a bout of loose dung-squirts via either of these two institutions you can't call yourself an American.  So can you imagine the incredible stool-power the hybrid of these two restaurants would have?  Niko Bellic can, because after the routine act of getting shot 15 to 20 times, the first place this transplanted European goes to restore his health is Cluckin' Bell.  It's assumed that after his stop at that restaurant, the second place he goes is to some sort of feces receptacle.
 

The delicious foods you consume on a daily basis didn't just come from the ground, unless you're one of those "organic" folk. No, the best-tasting stuff is the result of trial and error, as well as plenty of research and marketing. But sometimes, the most well-intentioned food ideas turn out tasting like crap, and are thankfully removed from store shelves. The question  for the following products is not why they were discontinued, but why they were even made in the first place? These are the 8 Worst Discontinued Foods Ever Produced.

9-Doritos 3D

It's a sad occasion when a Doritos consumer comes across one of those morose chips that has had an air bubble trapped inside itself during production.  In fact, such a chip has been known to cause many Doritos connoisseurs to throw their bags of highly flavored corn chips against the wall screaming, "How do you expect me to take my snacking to a higher level with this garbage!"  Unless said connoisseur is stoned--in that case he just goes on pleasantly eating, while the Duck Tales rerun continues to blow his mind.  So imagine the surprise when Doritos announced an entire product line of chips with air bubbles intentionally pumped in.  And then imagine a 300-lb man attempting to punch the Frito-Lay executive who green-lit such a worthless chip (if your imagined scenario doesn't end with the 300-lb man dying of a heart attack, you're doing it wrong).  Doritos 3D, how many obese people's deaths are on your conscious, you miserable chip?
 

When you want to create an intense moment in your narriative, you kill off a central character. When you decide you could care less about the narriative and want to keep making money, you revive said character. Here are nine examples of movies, shows, and comic books that toyed with life, death, and the feelings of its fans.

 9- The Cast of Heroes

Does this show have the cojones to kill anyone of importance off? First Noah Bennet--a normal character with no super powers gets shot in the EYE, dies, and is revived due to an infusion of his daughter's blood. Then Nathan Petrelli is shot in a season ending cliffhanger, is prounounced dead, and miraculously recovers. Nevermind the previous season, which ended with him and his brother surviving a nuclear explosion. At least now they have a workaround, so Ali Larter can die every season, only to continue to serve on the show as a new twin of her original. Well, every season NBC allows this sinking ship to air.

Whether they're honoring, spoofing, or just plain avoiding Christmas, these seven fictional holidays almost match the spirit of the season with a weird twist all their own. Whether you're celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or one of these, OMGLists wishes you a happy holiday!

7- Decemberween

The Holiday:

Taking place "55 days after Halloween," Decemberween is a day of gift-giving and caroling, yes, but it also includes two Kobe Bryants and a traditional meal of bunnies.

The Celebrators:

Homestar Runner, Strong Bad and all the other citizens of Free Country, USA.

Sometimes a character immediately springs onto the screen as a fully formed version of what viewers desire. However, many times there has to be an evolutionary process that leads to a character becoming what we know and love years later. Here are 5 examples of characters that first appeared in a very different form than what we all remember.

5- George Costanza

Sure, George Costanza has always been neurotic and slightly annoying (not Kramer annoying, just slightly annoying), but the way that Jason Alexander chose to play him changed dramatically between the first episode and the last. In the first season of Seinfeld, George is basically a fatter, balder version of Woody Allen. Alexander even admit that he went with a Woody Allen impression for the voice and demeanor because apparently Woody has the "Jewish and neurotic" market cornered pretty well. However, once the show started progressing and Alexander grew to know the creators, he realized that George was essentially Larry David. So he switched his voice and expressions completely and began to play George as the perpetually annoyed and awkward Larry David. And that's how we got one of the best sitcom characters ever.

OMGLists celebrates its first anniversary this week! In order to pay the occasion justice, we've picked 5 anniversary episodes that were way more entertaining than the typical "husband forgets the date" plot thread.

5- The Simpsons- "Natural Born Kissers"

The Celebrators:

Homer and Marge Simpson

How it went wrong:

After a subpar anniversary dinner at Up, Up, And Buffet, Homer and Marge realize the magic has disappeared from their marriage. That magic is found when the couple is almost caught sneaking into a barn during a thunderstorm, and the animated couple realize they have a shared exhibitionist fetish, which is later tested when a semi-public tryst is discovered.
