Wynonna Judd is singing the weight loss blues ... or rather the reds, blues, golds and greens of the alli© logo. She's signed on as spokesperson for the weight loss drug.

Judd is part of a long-list of celebs who have lent their names and faces to weight loss products. Jenny McCarthy once touted Weight Watchers, and Phylicia Rashad is the latest celeb speaking for Jenny Craig. Regarding alli, Judd said "I've considered every diet under the sun, but so many of them wanted me to be something I'm not and do things I knew were not healthy for me. Then I discovered alli. With the alli program, I'm learning how to make and maintain healthier lifestyle choices. It keeps me honest with myself and allows me to set realistic goals."

That's great, Wynonna. But I've got one question. Why do you need alli to do all that? You can make healthier choices and set realistic goals without a pill.

She's not interested in getting skinny, but Queen Latifah does strive for an overall healthy lifestyle, which is exactly why she's signing on for another year with Jenny Craig. The Jenny Craig folks are thrilled: "Queen Latifah embodies the healthy lifestyle principles and character that Jenny Craig stands for and we look forward to another great year," says Scott Parker, vice president of marketing.

The Grammy-winning singer and Oscar-nominated actress, 38, lost 20 pounds in 2008 after watching celebs Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli trim down Jenny-Craig style. This year, she and actress Phylicia Rashad will rule the roost, inspiring people everywhere to get a grip on their waistlines.

Jenny Craig has a thing for celebrities. They're the weight-loss world's version of lady's man.

• First it was Kirstie Alley, who lost quite a bit of weight but then seemed to plateau and (gasp!) maybe put some pounds back on. Goodbye, Kirstie.
  
• Then came Valerie Bertinelli who took off even more weight than her original goal and looks just awesome. She's still involved with Jenny Craig -- but in-progress weight loss stories are more interesting than maintenance tales, aren't they?
• Queen Latifah also took a turn with Jenny Craig commercials and gave it her usual cool and dignified spin. She offered a pleasant change from quirky and perky.
  
• Baron Davis of the LA Clippers speaks for the men -- he used Jenny Craig to help him get in shape for basketball season.
• Now Phylicia Rashad is joining the Jenny Craig bandwagon. I'm sure she'll be a great spokesperson for them -- after all, who's more lovable than Clair Huxtable?
  

Jenny Craig seems to change celebrities like the rest of us change underwear. But, if they're helping the celebs lose weight and inspiring others to do so in the process ... more power to them.
