...just fat. At 5 ft. 3 in. and more than 300 lbs., she was morbidly obese--more than 100 lbs. above her ideal body weight. After trying all sorts of diets that didn't work, the daughter of Beach Boy Brian Wilson and member of the now disbanded pop trio Wilson Phillips turned to a drastic last resort: gastric-bypass surgery. Doctors sewed up most of her stomach, reducing it to a tiny receptacle that holds several tablespoonfuls at best, and isolated much of her small intestine to reduce nutrient absorption.

Her most delightful descriptions are of these underworld dealings and of the intrigues in the personal lives of the protagonists, each of whom loves the one member of the trio who doesn’t love him or her in return...
...DIED. LISA ("LEFT EYE") LOPES, 30, fast-rapping member of Grammy-winning R. and B. trio TLC, in a car crash while on vacation; in Honduras. The group's 1994 sophomore venture CrazySexyCool went quadruple-platinum. Lopes had recently signed to produce her second solo album under the moniker NINA, short for New Identity Not Applicable and gangsta slang for a 9-mm gun. DIED. LINDA BOREMAN, 53, better known as Linda Lovelace, star of the notorious 1972 sex flick Deep Throat who later turned antiporn activist, of injuries from a car crash; in Denver, Colorado (see Eulogy).
