That's right folks. B-Dizzle is J Cizzle are together at last. The former UCLA Bruins star who now plays for the Los Angeles Clippers has decided to clip some pounds and fatten his wallet a bit more by becoming the frontman for the weight management program.

First, it was Kirstie Alley. Then Valerie Bertinelli and Queen Latifah. Now, Jenny Craig's got a new famous recruit – and it's safe to say he's kind of a big deal.
A really big deal. Baron Davis, the 6' 3" L.A. Clippers guard, is the new man on the Jenny plan, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
Inspired by current spokeswoman Latifah, Davis, 29, started the plan at the beginning of August to get in shape for basketball season.
"I know Queen Latifah, and when I saw her out there using it, I thought maybe I could use it, too, to work on my health and fitness goals and inspire others," he tells PEOPLE.
During the NBA off-season, Davis let his fitness slide. "In the off-season, it's kind of hard to maintain day-to-day," he says. "I don't want to get up and cook. And when I pig out, I'm the type of person where there's no limit to what I can do."
His favorite pig-out food? "Definitely Mexican," he says. "I go to Pinches Tacos in L.A., start with a carne asada burrito, and work my way down the menu."

The last thing Baron Davis should do is look to Latifah for inspiration. She is an overweight actress/singer/rapper. You are (supposed to be) a WORLD CLASS ATHLETE!
Typical Clippers...finally sign a star free agent and he feels the need to go on Jenny Craig. I guess that's why the Clippers will always be the Clippers.
BUT, it is better than him gaining 50lbs and having to go on Jenny Craig during the season, so I guess there's a bright side.
