Unhappy over ‘fat’ role
Hilary Swank
The actress is famously in top athlete-style shape, but HILARY is getting ready to gain between nine and 13 kilos, for her next role in the movie version of the book, French Women Don’t Get Fat. But sources close to the actress say she is “unhappy” at the prospect of having to bulk out her super-honed figure, which has been looking even tinier of late.

“She’ll gain 20 to 30 pounds,” said a source. “It’s no sweat. She’s played a man before.”

Curves are Justin’s work
Jessica Biel
Recent pics show that finding love with JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, seems to have led gorgeous JESSICA, 26, to relax her old punishing fitness regime.

“Jess is under a lot of pressure to stay in shape because there is so much competition in Hollywood,” spilled a pal. “She’s got an amazing body and Justin is trying to get through to her that she can take some time out once in a while and have a burger, some beers and a day doing nothing.”

Super-thin after security scare
Keira Knightley
KEIRA’s weight has plummeted drastically as she fears for her safety after a close encounter with an abusive fan prompted her to hire bodyguards.

With her collarbones jutting out at the London premiere for her new movie, The Duchess, Keira revealed, “[A man] jumped out [at me]… He said, ‘Who the [hell] do you think you are? You’re such a…’ All this, and I’m completely on my own. [It’s made] me quite jumpy.”

Even curvier
Tyra Banks
TYRA embarked on a diet after unflattering snaps of her in a swimsuit appeared in the media. But now it looks like she’s found her happy medium, showing off her bigger curves at the recent Stand Up To Cancer fundraiser.

Cutting out everything
Beyonce
She famously embarked on the super-restrictive lemon juice and cayenne pepper diet to slimdown for Dreamgirls, and it seems that BEYONCE is now pursuing a skinnier frame with gusto.

Having piled on nine kilos to play legendary singer Etta James, in new movie Cadillac Records, B admitted that gaining weight was “so much fun.” But added that when it came to lose it, “I was so angry with myself. I was like, ‘D’oh! Why do you have to go through this?’” And sources at a recent photoshoot for the singer say she stipulated, “No chips, no candy, no desserts, no junk food and no fried food.”

‘I’m size one – and I’m fat!’
Eva Longoria
EVA insists that her bulging belly is for Desperate Housewives, but the petite actress recently snapped, revealing that she is hating the extra weight she has been ordered to put on.

“I’m not pregnant. I’m just fat,” she told paps, last week. “I gained 5lbs (just over two kilos) over the summer, so instead of a size zero, I’m size one.”

Losing weight “really hard”
Gwen Stefani
Stepping out just three weeks after the birth of her second son, ZUMA, GWEN showed just a small bump, but little other evidence she’d just had a baby.

But the singer, revealed of trying to lose the baby weight, “Let’s just talk about how hard it’s been. That’s been really hard.” But cheerful Gwen, 38, added of her diet, “I cheat every day at least once.”

Baby weight crisis
Jennifer Lopez
She’s embarked on triathlon training, ostensibly for charity, but sources close to the LOPEZ camp say her super-strict regime is because J-Lo cannot shift the last pregnancy kilos – and it’s driving her crazy!

Now said to be existing on less than 1,000 calories a day, and struggling to lose the final 11 kilos, pals say she’s been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, and her frustration has put a strain on her marriage.

The boys are at it too!
TOBEY MAGUIRE stepped out last week, looking very gaunt. Amid rumours he’s all set to sign up to star in installments four and five of the next Spider-Man movies, the father-of-one recently became a vegan after years of being a vegetarian – to the extent that he’s even been spotted scraping the cheese off of his pizza – and it looks like his new diet has contributed to his rather drastic weight loss.
