Don’t mess with the lifeguard. Nicole Eggert played Summer Quinn on Baywatch, rocking the slow-mo running-down-the-beach-in-a-red-bikini shots. But now that she’s 37, her body has changed a bit. Tabloids have been calling her fat, and she’s not going to take it laying down. Check out her new Funny or Die video:
“You know how shallow that is?” she asks. “I’m a real woman. And you know, real women gain weight. Unbelievable.” You say it, sister!
Despite her confidence, Nicole has signed on to appear in the upcoming seventh season of VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club along with Kevin Federline, Shar Jackson, Kaycee Stroh, Bobby Brown, Jay McCarroll and more. They’ll be coached by Harvey Walden, inspiration nutritionist Dr. Ian Smith and life mentor Rhonda Britten.
According to IMDB, Nicole said that she struggled to stay super-thin on Baywatch with lots of food around. “For all the concern about bodies and weight, Baywatch has three huge catering trucks on the set at all times,” she said. ”It’s enough to feed three crews. They’d stick them in our faces, but I had a clause in my contract that said I had to stay within five pounds of 105. It was torture.”
Let’s hope she doesn’t try to get back to 105 – yuck!
