  • Lisa Lampanelli: Insult Comic Talks 107-Pound Weight Loss and Keeping It Off for Three Years

    Lisa Lampanelli lost 107 pounds following gastric sleeve surgery three years ago, and even more impressive than that–she’s kept the weight off.

    Known for both her hilarious insults and her success on Celebrity Apprentice, the 53-year-old comedienne dished recently to The Huffington Post.

    When asked about whether there’s a new man in her world, Lisa Lampanelli–who is recently divorced–said no.

    “I got a divorce that was final in December, but I don’t feel I’m in a position to date yet,” she said. “I have no personal life.”

    Instead, Lisa Lampanelli has chosen to focus solely on herself and her emotions at this time. An emotional eater, she realizes now that’s how she wound up packing on so much weight.

    “I’ve really been working on the emotional and internal issues that made me eat in the first place. It’s been a real journey,” she explained.

    Surprisingly, Lampanelli still incorporates fat jokes into her comedy routines.

    “I honestly feel like 99 percent of people have some kind of self-hate about their looks and if I can joke about mine, maybe they can feel better about theirs,” she said.

    One day Lisa Lampanelli hopes to find love again. She was married to Jimmy ‘Big Balls’ Cannizzaro for four years. That was her second marriage.

    “I’ve only had two [weddings] and want three more,” she joked.

    She is, however, steering clear of apps like Tinder.

    “I’m way too famous and rich to be on a dating app, but if I get very desperate by the time I’m 60, I’ll go on Tinder. Or I’ll go on Millionaire Matchmaker, I’ll call Patti Stanger,” she joked.

    Lisa Lampanelli is positively glowing following her 107-pound weight loss. Hopefully she gets a grip on her emotions so she’s at less risk for putting the weight back on. In the meantime she’ll no doubt be at the right place at the right time and meet a perfect someone, who is looking for the same things in life as the comedienne.

  • Comedian: 106 Pounds Lost Since Surgery

    Lisa Lampanelli is known as one of the most insulting of insult comics, but that doesn’t mean she was immune to the insults being thrown her way during her numerous roast appearances.

    One year ago, Lampanelli underwent weight loss surgery, getting a gastric sleeve implanted. Since that time the comedian has been shedding weight, but this week she got a little more specific about just how much.

    In Touch magazine this week published an interview with Lampanelli in which she tells the publication she has lost 106 pounds over the past year, saying, “I’m officially a skinny bitch!” Though the surgery certainly helped, Lampanelli credits her weight loss to exercise and eating less. She stated the surgery isn’t a miracle and that she had to figure out her “addiction issue” with overeating.

    Meanwhile, Lampanelli is continuing to use her Twitter feed to practice her insult comedy. One recent target of her ire was reality star Honey Boo Boo’s mother, who was recently married while wearing an untraditional dress:

  • Lisa Lampanelli Talks To Dr. Oz About Huge Weight Loss

    Lisa Lampanelli is best known for hurling insults at people–mostly her friends–while onstage, either during her standup comedy routine or at various Comedy Central Roasts. But since her weight loss surgery five months ago, she’s dropped 80 pounds and is gaining some attention for her new look.

    Lampanelli says she’s tried for years to stop overeating and drop the excess weight, but nothing worked for her. When she decided to go through with gastric bypass surgery, she knew she had to use it as a tool to lose the pounds and not as an answer.

    “I tried every single thing imaginable – diet, exercise,” she told Dr. Oz. “I even bought a house on the health spa property and I still gained weight. For 32 years, from 18 to 50, I tried everything on the planet, and once I had a clean slate with that I said, ‘You know what? Nothing’s working for me. I’m going to treat this like the addiction that it is. I’m going to get this surgery and use it as a tool. That’s all it is, a tool to help me get over it.”

    The surgery removed 85% of her stomach, so now she’s learning about portion control and says she feels full after just a few bites. She now says she’s where she always wanted to be, size-wise.

  • Lisa Lampanelli Roasts Dayana Mendoza

    Lisa Lampanelli Roasts Dayana Mendoza

    Outspoken comic Lisa Lampenelli has roasted many of her famous friends, including Flavor Flav (which may be my favorite appearance of hers ever), but they’re always in good humor. “Celebrity Apprentice”, however, brought out that famous brash wit with just a touch of pissed-off last night when team leader Dayana Mendoza got under her skin during their project.

    Mendoza, a former Miss Universe, told Donald Jr. that teammate Clay Aiken did all the work on their project–which was to create a jingle–when the majority of the work was a collaboration by Aiken and Lampanelli. She also accused Lampanelli of being “as loud as possible” while they were working, something Lampanelli vehemently denied. Aiken backed up Lampanelli, saying the two of them did most of the work.

    “This isn’t necessarily in Dayana’s wheelhouse, so a major bulk of the work has fallen on myself and Lisa,” Clay told Donald Jr. when he came to check on the group.

    Trump obviously sided with Lampanelli, as he heard everyone’s story in the boardroom before firing the beauty queen.
