Rebel without Jenny Craig cause

She’s never made a secret of her cupcake fetish but after failing to fend off the lure of such fatty treats, the well-rounded Rebel Wilson and Jenny Craig have split.

Wilson's ambassadorial role with the weight-loss giant has ended long before she reached her target goal.

The Aussie actor, who pledged in July 2011 to shed 25kg, managed to drop 15kg, but the contract is over. It's unclear which party ended it.

Wilson, who weighed 106kg at her heaviest, initially said being overweight had affected her work. But it turns out the US film industry has no problem with her size, having cast her in big-budget comedies such as Bridesmaids and What To Expect When You're Expecting.

Last year the 29-year-old was forced to stop dieting for her role as a college student named Fat Amy in Pitch Perfect, but vowed to slim down to 80kg by the end of last year.

"At the moment Rebel is based in the States and is concentrating on her acting career. Due to her busy work schedule she is currently not on the JC program," Jenny Craig's Amy Smith said.

"She successfully lost 15 kilos and thanks Jenny Craig for their help and support."

The company's current Australian ambassador Mel B lost 15kg after signing up following the birth of her third child in October 2011 and continues to feature in its marketing campaigns.

Barry Humphries, Ian "Dicko" Dickson and Magda Szubanski have all shed weight as ambassadors for Jenny Craig.

Meanwhile, rival company Weight Watchers last month announced it had signed Mahalia Barnes as its new celebrity face.

Wilson has two films set for release this year - US comedy Pain & Gain starring Mark Wahlberg and Super Fun Night, a TV movie she wrote and produced.

Now that she's had a chance to stretch her vocal chords in the acapella college comedy Pitch Perfect, Rebel Wilson can reveal that she missed out on a role in Glee.

''That was one of my first auditions in the US,'' said the Bridesmaids star in Sydney today.

''But they didn't choose me.''

Success, of course, is the best form of revenge.

Eighteen months down the track, the roles have reversed dramatically.

Wilson's career has had such a meteoric rise, she had to decline an invitation to appear in the current season of the popular TV show.

''They offered me a guest spot but I was just too busy,'' says Wilson, who learnt her musical theatre craft at the Australian Theatre For Young People in Walsh Bay.

She did, however, get the chance to appear opposite Glee's Chris Colfer in the upcoming feature Struck By Lightning.

Wilson recently finished shooting Michael Bay's Pain & Gain, with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, a black comedy based on the true story of two body builders who are currently on death row.

The multi-talented peformer, who also writes and produces, is currently in pre-production for the pilot of a US sitcom - Super Fun Night.

And Universal, for whom the $17 million Pitch Perfect has grossed $62 million in the US alone, has now green-lit her feature film project, which she will write, produce and star in.

Pitch Perfect opens in Australia on December 6.

The Daily Telegraph reports

It’s official: the world is in love with Rebel Wilson.

Having stolen the spotlight at the VMAs at the weekend thanks to that bikini dress, the Sydney law student has gone from little-known TV star to Australia's most in-demand international actress in the space of just 12 months.

And it's all thanks to a tiny part as Kristen Wiig's creepy roommate in 2011 comedy, Bridesmaids.

"Basically, the week Bridesmaids came out, I booked up for the rest of the year," the 28-year-old said.

Among her gigs was joining an A-list ensemble in What To Expect When You're Expecting, voicing a hostile kangaroo in the animated Ice Age: Continental Drift, working with Mark Wahlberg in Michael Bay's crime dramedy Pain And Gain and playing a silky-voiced (if aerobically challenged) competitive singer in next month's musical comedy Pitch Perfect.

She's also about to start taping Super Fun Night, a TV pilot with Conan O'Brien that she is starring in and producing. Yesterday she took over from Chelsea Handler as host of Chelsea Lately. Wilson's latest on-screen work is in Bachelorette, the female answer to The Hangover, which will be released locally on November 29.

"I think I came to America at the right time," she said.

"To have Bridesmaids be the first thing I was cast in and to have that be just such a huge hit, even though I was just part of the ensemble in that. I have just been working non-stop. I'm a writer as well, so I've got lots of things in development and it's crazy.

"It's just been a non-stop whirlwind, and I can't wait for people to see all these movies."

A funny outcome considering the Bogan Pride star only decided she wanted to be an actress and not a lawyer after having a malaria-induced dream about accepting an Academy Award.

Australian comedienne Rebel Wilson's star is continuing to rise in Hollywood after the success of her appearance in Bridesmaids.

Collider reports that Wilson has been added to the cast of Transformers director Michael Bay's new film Pain and Gain.

Based on a true story, it follows a pair of bodybuilders in Florida who get caught up in an extortion ring and a kidnapping scheme that goes terribly wrong.

Hollywood A-Listers Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson are playing the two bodybuilders. Ed Harris also stars.

Wilson will be playing Ramona Eldridge, a woman who finds herself in prison for her participation in the scheme.

It's just the latest in a long line of increasingly high profile roles for Wilson, who caught the eye of casting directors after her scene-stealing turn in Bridesmaids.

She will next be seen in comedies Struck By Lightning with Glee star Chris Colfer and Christina Hendricks, and Bachelorette with Kirsten Dunst and Isla Fischer.

Add to that parts in What To Expect When You're Expecting, Pitch Perfect, Small Apartments and Ice Age: Continental Drift.
