Candice Bergen, fat and happy

Former “Murphy Brown” star Candice Bergen won’t be humoring any haters, if her new memoir “A Fine Romance” is any indication. “Let me just come right out and say it: I am fat,” Bergen writes in the new book, excerpted by Page Six. “In the past 15 years … I have put on 30 pounds. I live to eat. None of this ‘eat to live’ stuff for me. I am a champion eater. No carb is safe — no fat, either.” Champion eater, you say? I’ll buy it when I see you sporting an eating contest trophy or two, but until then I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.
