LOL! CHARLES BARKLEY SAYS WEIGHT WATCHERS IS BULLSH!T!

Charles Barkley may be watching his waistline as the new spokesman for Weight Watchers, but apparently he's not watching his words too closely.

The outspoken TNT announcer apparently didn't realize his microphone was live during the Atlanta Hawks-Miami Heat matchup on Thursday night and began rambling about his new endorsement deal.

"I've been doing Weight Watchers for three months. I have to lose two pounds a week. I'm at 38 pounds now. They come and weigh me every two weeks. I ain't never missed a weigh-in. Never going to," he told fellow announcers Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan.

After Harlan asked him if it was working, the former Suns' big man said he was "feeling much better."

"But I ain't giving away no money. I'm not giving away no free money," he added. " I thought this was the greatest scam going-getting paid for watching sports, this Weight Watchers thing is a bigger scam."

Barkley signed onto the company in December for their new "Lose Like a Man" campaign and has appeared in a variety of TV commercials and other ads.

"I come from Alabama, a state that has struggled with obesity for years," he said in a press release announcing his endorsement. "I mean it is the heart of the South - we love food. Now that I'm following Weight Watchers, I'm learning a whole new way to eat. Not only can I keep eating my favorites like meatballs and chicken wings, but I've discovered a world of new foods that are helping me to shed the pounds. I have eaten more fruit and vegetables in the past few months than I have in the past 30 years."

In an appearance on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart this week, he added the program had been affecting his wardrobe choices.

"I have two wardrobes: A skinny wardrobe and a fat wardrobe," Barkley told Stewart. "This (suit) is part of my skinny wardrobe, but see I'm going to lose some more weight, so I got to get another wardrobe made."

The Weight Watchers comments weren't the only embarrassing ones caught on tape Thursday night.

Still unaware he was live, the outspoken announcer also spoke to Harlan about what a crappy game the Hawks were having.

"Man I can't stand to watch this Atlanta Hawks game," he said. "The Hawks ain't got nothing but a bunch of nice guys."

In a statement to the News, Weight Watchers said they were still thrilled to have the outspoken hoopster.

"We love Charles for the same reason everyone loves Charles, he's unfiltered,” a spokesman said. “We are thrilled that he is having great success and inspiring millions of men to join him. We agree that being a spokesman for Weight Watchers is a pretty great gig."
