I don’t know but some people just look better fat than fit.(maybe because we got used to them that way). Anyway here are my picks for people that look better fat than skinny.
Rush Limbaugh
Rodney Dangerfield
John Candy
John Belushi
Cris Farley
and of course FAT ALBERT! 
Well?
I think Delta Burke looks great with those extra pounds on her.
I always thought Matthew Perry looked cuter when he was a little chubby.
young marlon brando: good looking but not quite right
middle aged marlon brando (think Godfahter): perfect
old fat-ass brando: positively scarey
punk snot dead,
broccoli!
I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, want to imagine either John Goodman or George Wendt scrawny.
Courtney Cox and Calista Flockhart would look better with a few more pounds. Fiona Apple looks so much better now that she doesn’t look like a heroine zombie.
W.C. Fields, Peter Ustinov, and Orson Welles are almost impossible for me to imagine thin.
I have a hard time thinking of any really fat female actors or entertainers, but Jessye Norman is kind of thick-bodied and still looks nice.
Courteney Cox was cuter when she still had baby fat. Remember Cocoon 2, Misfits of Science and that Boss clip? Heck, she was cute even in Masters of the Universe!
Delta Burke, definitely.
Just last night, while watching tv, we saw an ad for a new movie with Tea Leone. Her face looked a bit fuller, which stands to reason as she had a baby not too long ago. My husband remarked that she looked much healthier.
Personally, I much prefer the older, fleshier John Travolta to his younger self.
Courtney Cox is just scary these days.
Oprah looks like she should be full-sized. Her head looks enormous when she loses weight.
Drew Carey definitely needs to keep ON the pounds.
Fat = funny.
Saw Billy Bob Thornton on Oprah the other day…he looks like a stick man!! He needs to add about 50 pounds to look healthy.
Oprah looks much better with the weight on. When she got down to a size 8 it was absolutely scary!
Minnie Driver was prettier in the film Circle of Friends for which she had put on some weight.
Crap, Courtney Cox was in Masters of the Universe? Where was I on that one???
Also needing to stay fat: the dude from Varsity Blues… gimme a second… uh… Ron Lester! The Big boy.

Warren Sapp of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers definately needs the poundage. He lost a lot of weight for one season, but he gained it all back by playoffs I believe

I don’t know about looks, but Luther Vandross sounds better when he’s, to quote Eddie Murphy, a big Kentucky Fried Chicken eating mf.
courtney cox WAS in ‘masters of the universe’, that’s for sure. fat actors i like…
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Sylvester Stallone
…and that guy from ‘fear and loathing in las vegas’, can’t spell it, won’t try.

The proper opposition is fat vs. thin, not fat vs. fit. Being thin doesn’t necessarily mean you’re healthy.
I thought that Linda Ronstadt went from being cute to being beautiful when she gained weight.
He’s not fat, but:
Norm McDonald looks so much better now that he’s filled out. I think he’s pretty hot now, and he looks younger and healthier than he did when he was on SNL and was skinny.
Tom Hanks looks better with extra pounds. John Goodman should not loose weight. Elvis Costello has gained a few pounds over the years and I think they look perfect on his lovely body. The guy who plays Tony on The Sopranos is also perfect the way he is.
Women: I agree with the Minnie Driver thing. If Courtney Cox had hips she would look okay. There aren’t a lot of women who are willing to pioneer the field of weight gain so I don’t have many to look to…but all of the chicks from that new group The Cores would look great with about fifteen or twenty extra pounds. They would be succulent, in fact.
