NEW YORK Weight Watchers wants to go viral. As part of its latest campaign from Interpublic Group’s McCann Erickson here, the weight-loss company has hired Faint Starlite, a prolific video blogger.

Starlite, a 24-year-old woman from Milwaukee whose real name is Esther Brady, has been posting video blog entries since 2006 about a variety of topics, e.g., the economy, presidential politics and her weight loss after she joined Weight Watchers, which drew the client’s attention.
