For a woman, the prospect of being photographed in your undies for the world to see elicits only one feeling: overwhelming, all-encompassing dread. Sure, most of us have good reason to be afraid -- extra flab, an unflattering stomach paunch and a lumpy bottom dimpled with cellulite is, in our minds, enough to scare the bejesus out of the general population.

But even stick-thin celebs like Victoria Beckham get anxious about having their near-naked bodies captured on film, apparently. According to recent reports, the fashionista ran nine miles a day for six months in order to look her absolute best for her recent Giorgio Armani Lingerie shoot. A source close to the star says, "Like any woman, she's conscious of her body, so she worked really hard to get into optimum shape."

Even so, her hard work wasn't enough to keep the images from being photoshopped. Which leaves me wondering -- if you have to re-rouch images of a teeny, tiny woman like that, what does that say for the rest of us?

Celebrities are really just like us -- they have to work out and eat well in order to be fit. But that doesn't stop us from wanting to know all their secrets! And here at That's Fit, we work hard to keep you up to date on all the exercise and diet-related celeb gossip. Click on the famous faces above to see what your favorite star is up to!

Is Victoria Beckham planning to run the New York City marathon this weekend? We know Posh has taken up running, but reports are coming out that she's actually been training for months in secret (just like her best gal pal, Katie Holmes did last year) and intends to run the race if she's ready. If she's not, she'll put it off until next February and take part in the Los Angeles marathon instead.

There's no doubt she's got some strong legs -- have you seen the insane high heels that woman wears? She walks in them as easily as I walk in my Chuck Taylors. But really? A marathon for Victoria Beckham, who once proclaimed she didn't work out because she didn't like wearing anything but heels?

If she participates, she certainly won't be the first celeb to become a marathoner. Check out the gallery for a few famous faces who've completed 26.2 miles.

Alicia Keys is super excited to see the sun for the same reasons we are -- she loves getting active outdoors. When the musician isn't camped out behind her piano or deep in thought writing a new hit, she says, "I like to do outdoorsy things. Hikes, trails, running, swimming. I love the sun. I'm all about the warmth."

Mariska Hargitay put down the Pringles and chocolate and found something new and healthier to crave -- tropical fruit.

Britney Spears is rumored to be trying a new diet to slim down -- the Victoria Beckham diet, which starts the day with water and lemon. Mmmm, satisfying.

It's no secret how Victoria Beckham stays so very thin -- the girl doesn't eat much. It's not through physical activity seeing as how she hates wearing any sort of flat shoe. Not exactly a healthy role model for weight loss, but unfortunately Britney Spears seems to have picked up on some of the ways Posh stays slim and is trying to follow that diet.

According to the Daily Mail, a source in L.A. says, "She's been eating steamed fish and edemame beans. She was told that's how Victoria stays so slim." Doesn't sound so bad, right? Just wait -- it gets worse.

"She is also drinking goji berry juice and seaweed shakes to stave off hunger and starts each day with a cup of hot water and lemon." I hope Britney and her trainers realize that Posh may be slim, but she's not healthy -- I'm happy to see Britney hitting the gym, and if she keeps that up and eats healthfully, she should be in great shape before you know it. No need to resort to seaweed shakes (unless she likes them, but I think it sounds gross!).

She may be svelte but it's not from busting her butt on the treadmill -- Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, has opened up about her disdain for the gym in a recent article for UK's Mirror tabloid. Amidst lots of talk about her designer life and her fabulous friends, she had this to say about her workout MO:

"I really don't like the gym, in fact I can't stand it ... Maybe it's the whole getting sweaty thing, but it's just not me. I tried cycling in Spain but maybe my bum's too small as it just wasn't comfortable ... I want to get fit, though, so I'm exploring some different options. I like what I've heard about Pilates - just sitting in a room, stretching and breathing. Sounds much more civilised."

I guess living on a diet of Strawberries and edamamme is what keeps her slim, and such a diet wouldn't leave her with much energy for the treadmill anyway. Still, I'll direct my admiration at more healthy role models like Gabby Reece.

While the controversy is raging over touching up photos to make them look impossibly perfect, there's another set of controversial photos floating around the Internet, but this time it's the opposite problem -- it's thought that photos of Victoria Beckham have been photoshopped to make her look worse, not better.

Check out these photos of Victoria Beckham (or, more specifically, Victoria Beckham's cellulite) and let me know what you think. Are those really her legs? Can she have that much cellulite and be as skinny as she is? Victoria's friends say she doesn't exercise at all--instead she keeps slim by eating next to nothing--so she might be missing all-important muscle mass. But really, those legs look like they belong to a 90-year-old.

Emaciated-looking Victoria Beckham is gearing up for the upcoming reunion of the Spice Girls ... by putting her fellow bandmates on a diet. Posh Spice, who is concerned about her image in America and therefore wants the group to look tip-top, is telling the other girls--Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell--that the key to look as 'good' as she does is doing 200 sit-ups a day and subsisting on a diet of Edamame (soy beans), strawberries and lettuce.

All I can say is ... eww! I have never been a fan of the Spice Girls and I'm even less likely to pay attention to them if they all look like Victoria Beckham. I once heard her described as looking like a 'fly on hind legs' and I have to say, I couldn't agree more.

What's your take on the Spice Girls' diet/reunion?

Martha recently noted that Victoria Beckham was spotted with the somewhat controversial book Skinny Bitch, leading people to believe that the former Spice Girl has gone vegan. Now Beckham and her soccer star husband, David, are pairing up with famous Chef Gordon Ramsey to open a vegetarian-friendly restaurant in L.A. As Joanne at Slashfood pointed out, finding a restaurant that serves vegetarian dishes in L.A. is not hard to do, but seeing as the Beckham's are the new "it" couple in town, I'm guessing their restaurant will be -- at least initially -- a success.
