Beyoncé says it was tasty gaining 15 pounds

Diet & Weight Loss, Celebs & Entertainment


Beyoncé gained 15 pounds recently and boy, was it tasty, says the 27-year-old superstar.

Gaining weight is so much easier -- and tastier -- than losing it, remarks Beyoncé. The girl knows what she's talking about -- she had to drop a bunch of weight for her role in Dreamgirls, and she just packed on those 15 for her upcoming movie Cadillac Records. Beyoncé plays soul singer Etta James in the film.

Yes, gaining weight is easier than losing it. It tastes good too. Still, I wouldn't want to do it, even if it was part of my job description. There's just something about feeling good in my skin that's a whole lot yummier than packing on the pounds. What do you think?

Jennifer Hudson: It's ok to skip the gym

Celebs & Entertainment

Jennifer Hudson, the breakout star of Dreamgirls and Sex and the City, is an inspiration to all of us real girls who have curves. But is she going to pull a Nicole Richie and suddenly get all scary skinny on us? Not likely, says Hudson in the recent issue of OK Magazine: "I eat as best as I can to maintain my thickness. I don't want to be too thin, so it's OK not to work out every once in awhile if you want to maintain this," says the actress.

On her healthy habits, she adds, "Moving around a lot is enough exercise, so I eat right ... Normally I eat a little trail mix in the morning, and a salad at lunch, and chicken and vegetables for dinner. What I cannot fight is chocolate chip cookies. It always wins."

It certainly sounds like she has a healthy body image. Your thoughts?

Anna Faris dropped 10 to be in Playboy shape

Diet & Weight Loss, Celebs & Entertainment

Anna FarisIn Anna Faris' new movie, The House Bunny, her clothes are a bit more revealing than the star is used to. In fact, when her character walks into a sorority house her attire prompts someone to state that it isn't a brothel. Faris' character -- sweet, kind, and a little more than ditzy -- states "Oh, I'm not looking to make soup."

To get her body into Playboy bunny shape for the role, Faris had to drop 10 pounds. "It was awful," said Faris. "I had to work out a lot and could only eat certain things. It was the regime of it all that I didn't enjoy." Despite her super-fit frame, Faris was still a bit self-conscious wearing such revealing costumes.

After filming wrapped, Faris put the 10 pounds back on.

Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson loses weight the hard way

Healthy Habits, Womens Health, Celebrities and Entertainment, Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment, Nutrition & Supplements

Today on Oprah, new Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson took the spotlight dishing about her victory the night before. She also chatted about her new fitness habits. Since her role in Dreamgirls, Jennifer has lost a considerable amount of weight and admitted to doing it the old fashioned way.

It seems that many Hollywood beauties seem to spend time telling the press how they can eat anything they want, and never gain a pound. Hudson was real, and I think that's great for normal women everywhere. She didn't say exactly how much she has lost, but she did tell how she's doing it. She wakes up at 4:00AM to run for an hour, followed by an hour long workout in the gym with her trainer. She didn't mention it, but I'm positive she is modifying her eating habits as well.

It's nice that Jennifer shared the details of her efforts with the world. Too many people do very little and expect very big results. Knowing that a real woman like Hudson can run for an hour will probably motivate many more to do the same. I care very little about the Oscars, so today I think I'll give Miss Hudson the Fitzness Role Model Award for inspiring others to become more fit. Congratulations on your big win!
