Perhaps in search of a healthier look or a recent time of overindulgence, these celebrities have put on weight during their careers in the spotlight. Some look better with the little theyve added to their previously skinny frames, while others know theyve gone too far and have later tried to drop back to a normal size, this includes Kevin Federline who admits he packed on the pounds during a time of depression. Mischa Barton used to look model-size when she appeared in the hit TV show The O.C. but since then she has constantly been uping her weight and looks completely different perhaps she hopes to find a size she is happier at.

(Everett Collection/Getty Images) Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me ... and Britney Spears , Justin Timberlake , Christina Aguilera , and Ryan Gosling ? Mickey Mouse, of course! Back in 1955, Walt Disney created "The Mickey Mouse Club" TV show to fund the construction of his Disneyland theme park in California. But we doubt he ever imagined he'd be launching the careers of some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, too. Take a look at a few of the famous faces who got their start on the kid-friendly variety show. (Though the original series ended in 1959, it was revived in both the late '70s and '90s.) Annette Funicello: Arguably the most famous original cast member, Funicello was discovered by Disney himself, when he saw her perform as the Swan Queen in "Swan Lake" at a dance recital in Burbank, California. After the show, Funicello went on to solidify her fame starring in a series of "Beach Party" flicks with Frank

Ginny Blackmore, 'Bones': Lyric Video Premiere

"Bones," Blackmore's debut solo single, was officially released last February, and you can watch the new lyric video for the track exclusively on Billboard.com: After she began writing her own songs as a teenager in New Zealand, Blackmore moved to London with a self-produced demo at the age of 19 and scored a publishing deal with Sony/ATV. Aguilera then recruited the songwriter to Los Angeles and asked to record her ballad "Sing For Me" for her own album, "Lotus." After impressing Tricky Stewart and writing the song "By The Rules" with Lambert while in L.A., Blackmore began showcasing on her own, and was eventually called by Epic Records Chairman & CEO Antonio "L.A."
