Lunchtime in Kansas means one thing – Days of Our Lives.

It’s as bad as when my then 13-year-old got me to watch The Hills as background, and then she stopped watching because it was too stupid for her. I kept watching for a while.

Somehow, Amy has introduced a daily dose of Sami Brady and Days of our Lives. And for whatever reason, I started following the tweets of actress Alison Sweeney, who plays Sami, and also hosts television’s The Biggest Loser.

Alison, via her tweets, is unnervingly optimistic and energetic. She’ll need that as her BL co-star, trainer Jillian Michaels, is being sued for alleged false advertising by a woman who claims she was duped into buying a diet supplement endorsed by the celebrity trainer.

Christie Christensen of Lake Elsinore, Calif., is seeking class-action status for the case she filed Tuesday in Los Angeles. … Christensen’s lawsuit claims she bought a product called "Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control" last month and that it has failed to lessen her appetite or cause her to lose weight as advertised.

Michaels’ picture and endorsement appear on the packaging, touting her as "America’s Toughest Trainer." The product and a website advertising include the claim, "Two Capsules Before Main Meals and You Lose Weight … That’s It!"

"Ms. Michaels knows better — taking two pills before eating does not miraculously cause weight loss," the lawsuit states.

The next day, Michaels fired back, saying,

"My reputation and credibility are of the utmost importance to me. This baseless lawsuit is entirely without merit and is being handled by my legal team."

What a soap opera.
