HOLY SMOKES! Is that Ruben Studdard? The 2003 America Idol winner has lost over 100 pounds! He actually enrolled himself in a weight management center at Duke University and stopped eating meat. I wouldn't be able to let go of my hamburgers and chicken breasts. But Ruben has and his hard efforts are paying off big time. Good for him! His new album is set to release Oct 17th.

Studdard told NBC's "Today" show that he was put on a 1,200- to 1,500-hundred-calorie diet at a weight management center at Duke University.  The R&B singer, who won 2003's "American Idol" competition, beating out Clay Aiken, says he's now a vegetarian. (source)
