Skinny Victoria Beckham has been ordered to gain weight for the upcoming Spice Girls world tour. The band’s managers are worried that Posh is too thin for the gruelling dates, which kick off in December, so she was asked to eat five meals a day.

So, as a result, she’s been put on a spinach rich diet to increase her stamina and energy.

As well as gorging on the green stuff - famous for giving strength to cartoon character Popeye - she has been asked to eat more carbohydrates, with bowls of brown rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We’re told: “Vic is under orders to have at least five small meals a day, to get her body prepared for the tour. She isn’t too happy about the plan but understands that it’s necessary if she’s to stay healthy and not burn out over the coming months.

“It’s a pretty intense - not to mention bland - regime but it’s essential she sticks to it.”

It wouldn’t be the first diet that Posh has gone on but this time she has to pile on the pounds.

The same can’t be said of the other fad schemes that she’s been partial to in the past.

These have included drinking fat-burning Chinese teas four times a day and abiding by tips in a diet book called Skinny Bitch, which is based on consuming 1,200 calories a day or less.

Posh - one of the main attractions in the official 2008 Spice Girls calendar which goes on sale today - has also tried disgusting algae and seaweed shakes.

But our source added: “This time around, Posh understands that the key is about getting stronger and if this means putting on an extra pound or two, so be it.” [Source]

Wow… this has to be Victoria’s worst nightmare!

Here are some candid pictures of Posh shopping in London on October 24.

Jessica Alba has some really strong principles when it comes to the movie roles she accepts. Because of her Catholic beliefs, she has vowed that she would never strip naked for a film. But what Jessica is willing to do for the right film role is get fat and shave her head.

The 26-year-old actress revealed that she wouldn’t think twice before turning down a role that requires her to go nude, as she believes it is important to abide by her strict religious beliefs.

“I will never do a nude scene in a movie - not ever. I can act sexy and I can wear sexy clothes but I can’t go naked. I think I was always very uncomfortable about the way my body developed,” Contactmusic quoted Alba, as saying.

“I come from a Catholic family and it wasn’t seen as good to flaunt yourself. I can handle being sexy with clothes on but not with them off,” she added.

Meanwhile, Alba has revealed her willingness to become fat and shave off her long locks for the right film role. “If it’s for a challenging or inspiring role, I’d do it,” she said. [Source]

Edit: I just found out that Jessica Alba did appear topless in a movie (you can view some screencaps here). Is topless not (almost) the same as appearing nude in a movie?

Dr. Robert Rey (aka Dr. 90210, plastic surgeon of the stars) has recently launched some new undergarments called Shapewear that give the illusion that you’ve slimmed down 2 dress sizes.

Among the guests at the Shapewear launch in Hollywood were Carmen Electra, Denise Richards, Jewel and Bai Ling.

I just came across this photoshoot of Olivia Wilde and I thought I had to share it because she looks really skinny in some of these pictures! (Yes, I know these pictures are not new, they are from last year’s Marie Claire November edition, but they’re nice to look at nevertheless.)

If you have no idea who Olivia Wilde is, she’s a 23-year-old actress that appeared in the TV series The O.C., The Black Donnellys, and House.

Australian actress Cate Blanchett has just confirmed that she is pregnant with her third child. Cate made the announcement at the premiere of her latest movie “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” in Sydney.

Wearing a pink dress that was draped in bright orange organza, Blanchett said she was in the early stages of pregnancy.

When asked if she was expecting, the Oscar winner beamed and said: “Yes, I am.” The mother of two boys shook her head at rumours that it was a boy, saying: “You know more than me. It’s early days yet. It’s due in April.”

Andrew and Cate already have two sons, Dashiell and Roman. Many congratulations to all of them! [Source]
