Nope, that’s not a staple coming undone, it’s baby number two! Carnie and her husband Rob Bonfligo are expecting in June.
Don’t know who Carnie Wilson is? That means you weren’t a fan of such television classics as Gone Country, Celebracadabra, Outsider’s Inn, Celebrity Fit Club 4 or the Ricki Lake-alike Carnie! She was also 4/5 of the early ’90s trio Wilson Phillips, whose airy pop vocals were overshadowed by Carnie’s pioneering work in the art form of creatively hiding behind objects.
No matter if they were making a video or shooting photos, Carnie could ALWAYS find something and transform it into a screen with enormous dignity and grace. It could be a rock outcropping on the beach, sheets on a clothesline, a city bus, or even Wendy and Chynna themselves, who were usually standing around in scanty elegant evening wear looking just attractive, completely oblivious to the genious taking place behind them. Sadly, Carnie Wilson’s visionary and ground-breaking career was tragically cut short because of gastric bypass surgery. All we have are the few masterpieces from her small body of large body works, like this classic cover to Wilson Phillips’ Greatest Hits:

I saw Carnie on Oprah yesterday, she looks great and has some positive energy going. I saw that spot on TMZ a few weeks ago talking about her doing Diamond Dallas Page’s YRG Workout. No doubt that is the “Dallas” she told Oprah about.
I found the YRG Workout at GreatDrills.com and ordered it. Hopefully I get the same results as Carnie!
I just saw on TMZ that she lost the weight doing the YRG Workout with Diamond Dallas Page. She looks Great!
Wilson Phillips humor! That creature is listed in the comedians’ field guide as extinct – I can’t wait to let them know they’re wrong!
You have to do their first album as well – Carnie is her hide-artist self, but with a goofy hat.
Oh, and I guess congrats to Carnie and Rob. Now that they have two children, all they need to do is find a friend for their kids and we could have Wilson Phillips II.
