Carrie Fisher Shows Off 50 Pound Weight Loss, Talks Princess Leia Bikini on Today Show

Posted on August 24, 2011

Carrie Fisher was a guest on The Today Show to talk about her amazing 50 pound weight loss. She is a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, which clearly worked quite well for her.

Carrie said that she "couldn't leave [the house] to go shopping, because they didn't have sizes...I exhausted the alphabet on bra sizes, moved into Sanskrit."

Carrie joked that she's ready to put on the Princess Leia metal bikini that she wore in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, saying, "I want to get into the metal bikini and just walk around the house like an idiot."

She said she might create a line of metal bikinis only for women over 40. Carrie is touring with her one-woman show, Wishful Drinking. She's been nominated for two Emmys for the show, which aired on HBO as a special. Take a look:
