DIET | DETECTIVE^®

Stars will do some weird things in the name of weight loss (I've spared you the Ben Affleck colonic reports, for example). But I have to hand it to Fergie -- she came up with a particularly unique way to cure cravings.

You know, I wouldn’t blog about baby weight so often if Hollywood starlets would stop the breeding frenzy. Between Christina, Nicole, Naomi, Isla, Stella, Toni, Salma…am I missing anyone?...it seems like the only people who aren’t pregnant are the brand-new moms. Who, it turns out, have been very busy shedding the baby weight at warp speed.

So, you remember when Courtney Love said she lost all that weight on a macrobiotic diet, right? I’m not the only one who heard that? Well, apparently she was just kidding. What she meant to say was, the macrobiotic diet made her fat and diet shakes made her skinny. I can see where anyone might get confused between the two.

By which I mean: Is Kimkins the new diet that every celeb is going to swear by, even though it’s probably unrealistic for any human being without the aid of a personal chef and/or millions of dollars riding on their weight loss? But that would have been a little too wordy for a headline. Either way, according to a Kimkins blog, Jessica Alba is the latest celeb crediting last year's extreme weight loss to the newest low-carb fad.
