Do As I Beyonce
Beyonce is back to Bootylicious, after starving herself for two weeks and then living off protein shakes for her role in Dreamgirls:
"The singer has gone out of her way to fatten up again, after shedding two stone for a recent film role. Beyonce fasted for 14 days and then existed on protein shakes to drop weight for Dreamgirls. 'It was hard, I felt weak, but I did it. It wasn't healthy though. I didn't look like me at all in the film, which was the point.'"
1. Well, at least she's honest about how she lost the weight and that it isn't healthy or even desirable. But I hope she doesn't give any teenage girls looking to crash diet any ideas! I'll admit my first thought was "Hmm. Could I pull that off?" I decided that no, I could not.
2. What was it about the part in Dreamgirls that required her to go to such extremes? It sounds like she had to seriously starve herself to change her natural body shape. Is she playing an anorexic? A heroin addict? I'm not being facetious, I don't know much about the part.
3. I hope they didn't make Jennifer Hudson crash diet too. I like J. Hud.

I'm a little disturbed by the rest of the blurb:
"As soon as filming finished, however, Beyonce took charge of her body.
'Immediately the next day I ate fried chicken, fried fish, French fries - anything fried - and the weight started to come on really fast and easy,' she revealed."
Is Beyonce saying that eating a truckload of "anything fried" is a good way to gain weight? Is the blurb author saying that?
My favorite part of all this is that Dreamgirls is supposed to be set in the 1960s! When the fashionable woman would not have been NEARLY as stick thin as the current ideal! Ergo, Beyonce should have probably GAINED some weight!! (Sorry, this irritates me).
See Angela Bassett, fabulous but way too buff as Tina Turner in "What's Love Got to Do With It."
Oh see, that makes sense.
she was going for the diana ross look...if you've seen pictures of her from back then, you'll know she was "i use heroin"-skinny
