NEW YORK:

Singer Beyonce Knowles, who had to slim down drastically for the movie Dreamgirls, is trying to fatten up again. According to ananova.com, Beyonce fasted for 14 days and then existed on protein shakes to drop weight. She says: “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.” As soon as filming finished, Beyonce started gorging. “The next day I ate fried chicken, fried fish, French fries — anything fried — and the weight started to come on really fast and easy.” — HNS
