Martha tells us over on Holidash that Fergie -- you know, the rock chic from the Black Eyed Peas and solo artist too -- has been talking food lately. No wonder. I mean, the girl just gained 13 pounds for the movie musical Nine. Clearly, she's got food -- and weight -- on her mind.

Just as Fergie aims to take off her extra padding, Thanksgiving rolls around. A scary holiday for some dieters, Fergie has no fear. She just plans to be creative. Since turkey isn't fattening, she says she'll opt for the bird. She'll add just a bit of gravy and a big 'ol salad, and a healthy meal she'll have. A little bland, yes, but she'll spice it up with a small treat. Her favorite? Pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream.

How do you plan to eat healthy on Thanksgiving? And what sweet treat will you allow yourself?

Fergie, the rocking popstar who's known as much for her smokin' body as her successful singing career, is pursuing a new career ambition: Acting. And you know what actors tend to do -- they slim down or bulk up for various roles. It's the latter for Fergie -- the gorgeous singer is in the process of gaining weight for the upcoming movie musical Nine.

According to Fergie, "I've actually gained 10 lbs! No, really - for the film, 'Nine'. Actually, 13 to be exact. I ate everything! Fish and chips. Everything fried - things I don't normally eat." But she's also looking forward to losing the weight in time for her wedding to Josh Duhamel, adding, "I have to give the bad food up now! So, yeah - I'm in that phase! Back to diet designs - my food delivery service!"

Gaining weight is always the easy part, huh? Good luck to her on the weight loss, though I don't think she needs it.

There are some diet gimmicks that just don't seem worth it. Such as? Well, the Tapeworm diet comes to mind. And the baked bean diet. Not to mention using leeches to detox.

Here's another one: Superstar singer Fergie (real name: Stacy Ferguson) says she does shots of vinegar. Why would she do something so heinous? Apparently, it helps cleanse the colon, reduce bloating and cut cravings. Still, is it worth it? I'm still not sure about that.

Here's what Fergie herself has to say about it:
"I do vinegar shots. It has to be organic apple cider, unfiltered. Two tablespoons. For some reason I've noticed a difference on my stomach."

What do you think of this? Does it work, or is it just another one of those silly diet gimmicks?

Stacey Ferguson, AKA Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, has seen the light and it's healthy living. Self Magazine features her as their cover girl this month and their website has an interview with the pop princess, dishing about her healthy habits. Here are some facts to might not know about the songstress:

• She's okay with seeing unflattering picture of herself in he media. In fact, it's freeing. She doesn't want to be a slave to the paparazzi, and if that means seeing herself sweating on the front cover of a magazine, so be it.
• If she could tell her 20-something self one thing, it would be this: Sunscreen and eye cream!
• After leaving Wild Orchid, she vowed not to join another band but is so grateful she did.
• To make a hotel room feel like home, she brings lots of clothes and spreads the throughout the room.

I never liked Fergie all that much, but I find my opinion of her improves with every interview I read. What about you?
