Overweight?
I found a list of celebrities that are considered to be overweight based on the BMI(Body Mass Index) standards. I was pretty surprised by the results, because these people all appear to be in shape to me, but the BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle weight and fat weight, so maybe that's the key.

If your BMI is below 18.5:
This indicates a lean BMI, indicating low body fat.
If your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9:
A BMI in this range indicates a healthy level of body fat. A BMI percentage in this range is associated with longevity, and a low incidence of serious illness. Studies have shown that this is the level that most people find aesthetically pleasing.
If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9:
A BMI in this range is considered to be overweight, and having an increased risk of associated disease. Ideally if you are in this range you should find ways to lower your weight. Start by changing to a healthy diet and undertake an exercise program.
If your BMI is between 30 and 39:
We have now reached the obesity range. It is essential that a lifestyle change is undertaken.
If your BMI is over 40:
This indicates an individual suffering from extreme obesity, and is in a very unhealthy condition.

Speaking of BMI----When do think you'll get around to posting the rest of the BMI Serial Number/Date info? :-)
Haha, nice one. I'm still working on getting all the info into a usable format. So the answer is I'm not sure.
