American Idol

The Velvet Teddy Bear is always going to be a hefty fellow, but it's good to hear that he's taking precautions to keep that heft under some control.

Ruben Studdard will guest on the Rachael Ray Show Tuesday, and among the topics he will discuss will be his strategies for losing weight and the current dietary habits that keep him up to par.

According to the promotional materials on Rachael Ray's official site, the Season 2 American Idol winner saw his weight hit a high of over 400 pounds. Now he's 100 pounds lighter, and he'll be keeping those pounds off with Rachael's healthy snacks! This should be fun to watch.

Ruben's newest album, The Return, is in stores now, and is being called a critical and commercial success. Way to go, big fella.
