This star won't work out in public

Martha recently told us that British comedy star Ricky Gervais is OK with being called fat. Go ahead, call him a fatty, he says. Maybe it will make him more ashamed of his overweight status. Maybe it will get him into a gym, for goodness sake -- a home gym, that is.

Gervais, 47, says he never works out in public. In fact, he and his girlfriend just bought a place in New York with a gym in the basement. His favorite workout: "My favorite thing in the world is to come home, have a swim, put my pajamas on and open a bottle of wine," he says. "That's it for me."

Maybe it's the mirrors found in gyms that drive Gervais to his basement. Once a fan of staring at himself in the mirror, he now finds the practice quite disappointing.

How about you? Like public gyms? How about mirrors?
