Celebrity Trainer Writes Of Demi's Meaty Thighs And Fleshy Naomi Watts

It seems hard to believe, but a self-styled trainer to the stars claims Demi Moore had meaty thighs, Madonna was soft and Naomi Watts was fleshy. Rob Parr, who used to train them, has written a book, "Star Quality," and the NY Post got an early look:

Demi Moore needed some major work to turn herself from a fat-kneed, thunder-thighed girl into a ravishing knockout, according to Robb [sic] Parr, her former personal trainer. In his upcoming exercise book, "Star Quality," Parr writes: "[Demi] lacked a defined waist, carried too much meat on her thighs, and was, by movie-star standards, thick overall. To taper her waist, we decided to accentuate her shoulders, creating a V-shape. We trimmed her thighs, shaving off some of the excess fat from above her knees, and accentuated her butt, further emphasizing her waist." As for Madonna, whom Parr also whipped into shape, "When [she] and I started working together, she was very soft . . ." As for Aussie cutie Naomi Watts, she came to Parr "fleshy, and we needed to trim and tighten so that she would fit the mold of a bikini-clad babe."

According to amazon.com, Star Quality is out in August. The official blurb adds a few more celebs to Parr's (hit?) list.

Rob Parr presents body types based on some of his most famous celebrity clients, so that readers can identify with, aspire to, and work toward a body shape like Madonna's (athletic), Demi Moore's (hourglass), or Naomi Watts's (long and slender)....

Rob Parr (Los Angeles, CA) is a fitness trainer whose clients have included Madonna, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Christy Turlington, Naomi Watts, Maria Shriver, and Alicia Silverstone.

No word if any of the called-out beauties still work out with Parr.

what a dork. How about going to Iraq and working on his thighs for a change. Fricking Coward. He accepted their money now he talks about them. He should never get another job from any celebrity.
As if we didn't know they are just as much human as we are. If they are good on the screen , that's all we want.

Okay, so maybe they did or maybe they didn't (have 'work done') but I don't think it's unrealistic. I live in one of the fittest cities in the nation - Seattle. We have bike trails and yoga and pilates studios on every corner. I see women, real women, over 30 (and older) with babies who have bodies like Demi Moore and Naomi Watts. Some look much better. I've recently begun dance and pilates classes and see amazingly fit women in my classes all the time that I use for inspiration - and I'm on my way to being just as fit. It is possible without spending tons of money and 5 hours a day at the gym. I think it's just an excuse we (Americans) have defaulted to, to avoid the work involved with being healthy. We'd rather just say "oh, well they've got money for personal trainers and plastic surgery" than to cut back on the cheeseburgers and head to the gym a few hours a week - doesn't take much more than that.

On Madonna, we infused caffeine to accentuate her energetic, old Jewish woman vibe, and lay bare her Joan Riveresque appeal.

[BillAnthony]

I find Demi's physic to be simply delightful. I think Madonna should work a little more on her triceps.

[Bright Creature]

I love how he says "we" did all these things for their clients... like it was a surgical operation and NOT Demi/Madonna, etc working out. It's not they -helped- them. They DID these things for them

"To taper her waist, we decided to accentuate her shoulders, creating a V-shape. We trimmed her thighs, shaving off some of the excess fat from above her knees, and accentuated her butt, further emphasizing her waist."

[ResidentChimp]

Naomi Watts makes "fleshy" chi chi.

[QueenOfViolets]

Can we now get an official retraction from all those "feminists" in the blogosphere who spent the last three years circulating without attribution an old tabloid story that Demi Moore slimmed down not by hiring a trainer but by spending $200,000 on full body plastic surgery?

The problem is, bloggers don't do retractions. Bloggers never admit they were wrong, and they never think journalistic ethics apply to them.

I'm sure the celebrites named are furious but I think it is interesting that you are not stuck and can change some of your flaws just through excercise. Funny thing is someone like power house Tina Turner at 60-something looks great with no excercise program at all

[QueenOfViolets]

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall Tina Turner saying she does yoga. Yoga is an exercise program and it will help keep your body firm as you get older.

[Nostraboris]

as does REVERSE COWGIRL

[grisgris]

If Tina's dancing isn't exercise, I don't know what is.

[badtimes]

Tina dances like crazy- check out those legs. Every time I see her I can't believe her age.

[lowry99]

Naomi Watts is minuscule. Saying that she could even BE fleshy is like calling a stick fat.

Just another bottom-feeder; thanks for giving him more press, Arianna.

[QueenOfViolets]

You can be skinny and still have no muscle tone.

It's your muscle tone that protects the strength of your immune system. Especially when you get older.

Your lean body mass -- i.e. your muscle mass -- is very important for your ability to fight off infections

This trainer did Naomi Watts' immune system a favor by turning her from a thin person with low muscle mass to a thin person with high muscle mass.

It's not about being thin as as much as about being strong.

Fat does not make you strong. Fat does not protect you from infection.

Muscle makes you strong, and muscle can protect you from infection as well.

That's why it can be a good idea to hire a trainer even if you're happy with your weight.

[QueenOfViolets]

By the way, there is one very big health problem that threatens thin women with no muscle tone: osteoporosis.

Your bones are connected to your muscles by tendons. When you do exercises to increase your muscle mass, you're also exercising your bones and convincing your bones to become thicker and stronger.

Skinny women who are "fleshy" -- that is, who have a high percentage of fat to muscle -- are at a higher risk of osteoporosis than women of the same weight whose muscles are taut and toned.

One might even say that due to their increased risk for osteoporosis, skinny women can benefit from personal training even more than women of average weight.

[benthere]

What an absolute low life scumbag.

[Kalima]

What an absolute creep!

[AdultFilmLegend]

Naomi Watts can come over to my house and be as fleshy as she wants to be.

[fetacheese]

why would this be "hard to believe", huffpo? some of us are old enough to remember what madonna and demi moore actually looked like pre- botox, plastic surgery, tanning, amazing stylists, + 5 hours a day at the gym (and for everyone else, there's photos, videos, and old movies to look at for your reference). being that they're human beings, they have real bodies just like the rest of us--the good and the "bad".

parr is just 1) trying to get attention for his book by talking about them and 2) fool women into believing that just by working out you can somehow look like them (botox, plastic surgery, tanning, stylists, and personal trainers not included).

otherwise, this really isn't groundbreaking news.

[tatianalensky]

exactly.

I mean, sorry, how moronic does one have to be to believe everything thats out there? Besides the fact that if you have gazillions of dollars to spend on a personal trainer, stylist, nutritionist, plastic surgery bla bla bla then it really isn´t all that difficult to look "good"

yeah, take an example from the normal people out there. Who look just as good......no....sorry....better that the plastic faced robo freaks.

[rpence]

Another wonderful and illuminating article from the New York Post. As if HuffPost couldn't find something better to fill this space.

Like, for instance, an article on people who are important because they can truly act--unlike Demi Moore, who is famous only for being in shape and making very bad movies in which she flaunts her physique.

And the fact that very few of her movies have been successful, like that abomination in which she played a stripper, gives me hope for the American people.

There is no value whatsoever in this article, aside from being a case study of American superficiality and misogyny.

[rucognizant]

Send Parr to Iraq tomorrow first thing!
Did you know that Botox can affect the brain as well!
Read it in the Life & style section of the Independant.
And food coloring additives are as bad for kids as lead!
We are so well informed as Americans!
