Because she's made such a big deal out of her previous weight losses, and the tendency to indulge in schadenfreude is just too much for the media to bear.

Alternatively, people want to talk about something that's going up instead of down.

Because as she gains weight, the rotation of the Earth changes. Thus her next buffet could send the axis off-kilter by negating the gravitational pull of the Moon and send our seasonal shifts into chaos, destroying all of civilization.
