Angelina Jolie recently took up WiiFit to lose the extra weight from being pregnant

If anybody has been keeping up with the female half of Hollywood's couple Brangelina, they would have known that Angelina gave birth to twins back in July. In a majority of cases, after giving birth there will be some excess weight that wasn't there before. Jolie has been using Nintendo's WiiFit as her solution to this.

Jolie, who you might recognize from the Tomb Raider movies portraying the famous video game character Lara Croft, was persuaded by her children that video games weren't just for fun, but also for educational and excercising purposes. She eventually caved and started playing WiiFit, and apparently, she's pretty good at it.

Her game of choice seems to be "Let's Pilates!", of which she already plays on the hardest difficulty setting. She attempts to log in an hour of it at least three times a week.

When the video of "The WiiFit Girl", a woman that was played WiiFit in nothing but a t-shirt and underwear surfaced, it was the chatted about all over the internet, giving WiiFit some free advertising. Now that a famous actress admits to playing WiiFit, who knows what will happen? Maybe an increase in new moms playing their kid's Wii's (maybe even WiiFit) in hopes of shedding those extra pounds will occur?

    I hope some mad scientist dude clones her, and then in like 20 years, they make a sequel to Hackers with the clone.

    That'd be awesome.

     It is much better than the Next Generation, but why there is no film made? I would definitely go and watch the movie and I believe would do so too. Anyways, I found a good place to buy star trek voyager at 91 bucks, check this out: www.dvdsetshop.com.
