Claudine Barreto Is No Longer A Fatty

Claudine Baretto, mother earth arrived at a press conference for a movie she's doing with Richard Gutierrez and Anne Curtis looking slimmer.

I'm not one who usually rags on "overweightedness" but Claudine was on TV promoting a brand of children's milk with Carmina Villaroel and Jody Sta Maria and I was like "WTF!"

Claudine was top heavy (as in very) and appearing with Carmina and Jody didn't help any. I know she was trying to project an earth mother image but she appeared like the mother who ate the earth.

At the press con, Claudine reveals that she's back to being pesco vegetarian, which means she cannot eat meat and she can do fish as well as dairy products.

Claudine also tells why she gained weight during her pregnancy: doctors told her to start eating meat. I guess the doctor failed to clarify that she not eat the whole pig or the whole cow, thus the weight gain.

So now I get why Claudine's been fighting with her gold-digging sister Gretchen Barreto and why she walked out on an interview with media. Protein deprivation, anyone?

Now that Claudine is back to size 0 or 2 (or so she says), I hope she's not thinking that her weight is inversely proportional to the ratings of her Saturday drama show on GMA 7.

The show's been a flop, ratings-wise, another reason to hate her Gretchen.
