TAKE A DRAG

Look What Former Basketball Star Is Doing Drag To Shill Weight Watchers

That would be Charles Barkley, doing a Dennis Rodman and looking fabu in a BBD (Big Black Dress) while shooting some TV spots for Weight Watchers.

Along with the fairly disquieting pic above, Weight Watchers tweeted the message: “While shooting our new TV ads, Charles Barkley finds the perfect little black dress. Looking good!!!”

He looks just like Jennifer Hudson with some killer biceps.

The campaign? “Lose like a man,” which aims to tell men that losing weight is not just for women.

The former basketball star says he put on a hundo pounds from laziness, but that he’s already lose 42 of it from Weight Watching.

Barkley also has been a pretty freakin’ awesome ally in the past, reminding people that civil rights include gay rights.
