"The Biggest Loser" counts on Jillian Michaels being tough. Her no-nonsense, hands-off-the-treadmill, in-your-face antics make for exceptionally good TV! But is she being too tough, too no-nonsense as she returns to the show? (Put another way: Is she shooting herself in the stiletto?!?) And is the white team paying the price? Granted, the viewer at home is seeing just a sliver of the time that Michaels has spent with her team. And no doubt, we're seeing far more of the screaming, bellowing and ranting side of Michaels because, again, that makes for good TV. But it seemed like Michaels had zero mercy for Nikki and, in the beginning, T.C. and Nathan.

Reserve judgment. That's what Jillian Michaels says about the new season of "The Biggest Loser. " She's not talking about her return to the show -- she talking about the controversial decision to include three children among the new competitors on NBC's weight-loss program. For the first time in its history, the show is taking on childhood obesity. While we may be a country that can talk endlessly about weight loss and exercise and diets, we often fail to discuss childhood obesity with more than a generic "move more, eat more veggies" kind of way, Jillian said.

Jillian Michaels, the tyrant trainer with a heart, is leaving "The Biggest Loser," the NBC series in which overweight contestants compete to shed pounds. The 11th season, which starts in January, will be her last, she said. Michaels said via Twitter that she plans to take a year off, do more charity work and "focus on becoming a mommy. " NBC executives declined to comment Friday on the departure. But Michaels said ? also via Twitter ? that a new trainer was on the way. ?

Jillian Michaels is used to barking orders and having them followed. But right now, she's being ignored. She's trying everything — even cooing and high-pitched baby talk — to persuade Buzz to stand still for the camera. But Buzz wants a "cookie" — and he wants it now. The massive chocolate-brown draft horse that stands 17 hands high — Michaels can barely peer over his back — will ultimately win this war of wills that is playing out at a photo shoot.

Jillian Michaels didn't think she had another weight-loss book in her. She'd already written several, including "Master Your Metabolism," "Winning by Losing" and "Making the Cut. " What else was there to say? Plenty, as it turns out. Her latest book is "Slim for Life," and it represents Michaels' most accessible approach to health and fitness. Not exactly what you might expect from the star of NBC's "The Biggest Loser," known for ripped abs and a no-excuses, take-no-prisoners approach to diet and exercise.
