TUBBY TIA CARRERE PACKS ON 55 LBS!
Hefty hottie can’t stop gobbling cheesecake - pals
FORMER Wayne’s World hottie Tia Carrere is looking like the Pillsbury Doughgirl — and alarmed friends and a medical expert fear she’s gobbling herself into a devastating health crisis!
The 52-year-old actress and True Lies femme fatale drew gasps when she was spotted nearly busting out of a leather skirt and jacket in Hollywood on Oct. 2.
“This is just sad.
She’s bloated and barely recognizable,” spills a source. “Trouble is she can’t stop eating her favorite foods — spaghetti, steak and potatoes and cheesecake.
“She’s gained 55 pounds at least since her ‘90s sexsymbol days.
“She used to be gorgeous, fit and toned, but middle age has taken a toll on her looks. At this rate, she’s opening herself up to a heart attack!”
Lifespan expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin estimates the fivefoot-eight babe has rocketed from a svelte 125 to a schlubby 180 pounds and warns “a very significant weight gain increases your chances for diabetes and heart attacks.
“Big bellies equal a fatty liver, “he cautions, “which causes premature death.”
The doc, who has not treated Tia, says she’s probably piled on the pounds “from poor choices of food” such as bread, flour and sugar.
The insider notes the Honolulu-born beauty has been rocked by two marital splits — from film producer Elie Samaha in 2000 and British photojournalist
Simon Wakelin, father of her daughter, Bianca, 14, in 2010. The pair got back together in 2015.
“She’s been through two painful divorces and her career’s been in a slump,” says the insider.
“She obviously eats to console herself.”
