Rocker Steven Tyler's daughter Mia has been caught up in a new TV
controversy after a fitness trainer poked fun at her weight.The plus-size model is one of a handful of chubby celebrities taking part
in new reality show "Celebrity Fit Club," but she has already fallen out
with the show's resident trainer Harvey Walden.The former drill sergeant enraged the 200 pound beauty when he commented
on the upcoming VH1 show's debut that her husband will like her "a whole
lot more" when she slims down.Mia took exception to the remark and fired back, "He didn't marry me
because of the way I look. He married me because of who I am."When Harvey told her she was in denial, Mia accused the trainer of being
the reason that so many young women in America suffer from bulimia and
anorexia.She fumed, "I think you have issues. I think you've got issues with body
size and being fit and you care too much. I think that's not good for
your head. I think you need to lighten up and be a little easier on
yourself. My being this size doesn't make me any less sexy. I could be
800 pounds and I'd still be sexy."The new show also features Daniel Baldwin and rapper Biz Markie.
Mia must be having doughnut withdrawals.

revealed as never before.

"Just a Friend"
It's a simple concept: Eight overweight stars are divided into two teams
and challenged to get fit and lose weight over a 14 week period. Along the
way they will each:
Be publicly weighed in every show - individually, and as teams on a pair of
giant scales
Be called to account by our supervising panel, who'll be aware of every
half-hearted sit-up and every sneaked donut
Have the deepest secrets of their diet and lifestyle revealed
Be put through the mill by the toughest drill instructor the US Marines has
ever produced
Deal with the antagonism of the rival team's celebrities as the weight-loss
battle gets intense
This show is about much more than diet and exercise. It's about vanity,
rivalry and self discovery. It's an emotional show but it's often funny and
never downbeat. There will be tears, there will be tantrums, there will be
breakdowns, but the abiding tone is positive and life enhancing. All the
celebrities will emerge from this show as changed people and, as viewers,
we will have been privileged to see that change happening before our eyes.
Each week the celebrities will be summoned to our purpose-designed Fit
Camp, where they'll face challenges ranging from belly dancing to ballet,
from synchronized swimming to limbo.
Each week they will face the music on the loneliest walk in television as
they find out whether they have lost weight or gained it: And they'll face
the consequences from our panel of MD, psychotherapist and drill
instructor.
And each week they'll have to deal with the praise or recriminations from
their fellow team members - and the taunts of their rivals.

Why is Mia on the show if she is SO happy with her weight? Just proves
even plus size models reject their fat.
