Meanwhile here's the Manilow Hotline e-mail yesterday. (My comments
will follow after the *****'s):
Hi Everyone....
We just saw a pretty outrageous headline on one of the tabloids
claiming that Barry is ill
and down to 100 pounds.
Granted....he's pretty trim. But 100 pounds? Give us a break. Even
Mary Kate and Ashley
weigh more than 100 pounds. And no....he's not ill.
What he is...is rehearsing for his new show in Las Vegas.
Recording his new album.
Putting together a new arena show.
Starting on his new original rock album.
And sometimes even enjoying the beach.
A picture of him doing just that is below.
And yes.....those are his kayak paddles in the background.
(Look for him in the 2012 Olympics)
By the way.....we also saw a headline that said aliens had invaded
Pomona. That headline,
of course, is true.
*******************************************
My comments:
I hope he's taking care of himself, I hope he's eating, I hope he has
regular or even frequent check ups. Hope he isn't trying to tackle
too much at a point where he is entitled to sit back and look at his
accomplishments and say, "Dang! I did good!"
The Hotline message is taking a humorous slant, but honestly, Barry
has always been scrawny, but these pictures do look like he's at an
unhealthy weight right now. Looking at some weight guidelines, what
is Barry? 6'? 6'1"? Small framed he should be in the 149 to 164
lb. range. If Barry is in the guidelines, the Hotline could reassure
fans by stating that regarding his being in the safe/healthy zone.
I'm guessing he isn't and hoping I'm wrong.
