New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie went ahead and got some weight loss surgery, and everyone has been wondering what made him finally take the plunge. He's been in the news for his weight for quite some time, but was there a certain catalyst??

Well he's opening up about it all now, despite saying it was nobody's bidnazz!

It turns out, he couldn't fit into his clothes — here's what he had to say:

Cut it out, Dennis Rodman!

How many times do we have to say this? He has NO BUSINESS in foreign affairs, especially with one of the most volatile nations on the planet!

We already told you guys that Dennis plans on going back to North Korea on August 1 to reopen the political dialogue with Kim Jong-Un. Why? Because he feels like the President of the United States "can't do sh*t" when it comes to finding peace with North Korea.

Yesterday, reports surfaced that Chris Christie had gastric band surgery, and because everyone and their mom is curious about why the New Jersey governor decided to have the operation, he wants everyone to know that it's none of your dang business!

However, instead of just really blowing everyone off and not giving up any info, he did express that if he was asked about it, he wasn't gonna lie.

While many think that the reason Christie went through with the surgery was for a career move, the 50-year-old politician expressed that he had the procedure because "It is a long-term health issue."

He added:

"I got confronted with your own mortality as I started to age. This is about my kids, Mary Pat and me.”

Since obesity is the No. 2 cause of preventable death in the United States, we can see why the governor wanted to do something about his health, and after dropping 40 pounds, he's well on his way to a brand new person!!

Want more deets??? Ch-ch-check out the clip (above)!

Now we'll REALLY see the power Dennis Rodman has over North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un!!

We're going to go ahead and guess "none, really" as the official answer. Mainly because he's just a FORMER BASKETBALL PLAYER and not a real diplomat or ambassador!

That's not stopping Dennis, however, from attempting to get North Korea to release a jailed U.S. citizen.

New Jersey governor, Chris Christie just revealed that he secretly underwent gastric band surgery to help him with his weight loss, and since Snooki knows a thing or two about dropping weight, she extended her helping hand to Christie!!

The reality starlet took to her Twitter to write:

After learning that Chris Christie's health was a ticking time bomb earlier this year, we're happy to announce that the New Jersey governor went behind everyone's back and had gastric band surgery to improve his well-being!

Christie revealed:

Could there BE a bigger powerhouse duo at the Democratic National Committee LGBT gala than Jason Collins and Michelle Obama??

We think not!

Not only is Michelle one of our favorite people on this planet, but she's being joined by a history-maker! Jason just became the first gay player actively still in the NBA, having chosen to come out while he's a free agent so as not to distract any team he was a part of! Even the President Barack Obama called him on the same day to congratulate him!

Tickets are starting at $1,250 per person and go up to $32,400 per couple to chair the event. That's SUPER expensive, but the night is gonna be worth it!

We can't wait to hear how it goes!
