Sharon Stone Physically Challenged by Casino Role

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies

Sharon Stone nearly starved to death while making Casino. The actress didn’t eat for a week before filming a crucial scene because she was so desperate to impress director Martin Scorsese by looking “skinny and out of it.”

Sharon recalled prepping for her Oscar-nominated role for an interview with Prestige magazine:

“I nearly actually physically killed myself making Casino. We did the death scene on the last day because Scorsese knew I wanted to get just so completely skinny and out of it. In the final week I didn’t eat, I didn’t do anything, I just made myself a complete wreck so that I could get skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny and down to nothing. I lost so much weight.”

Charlotte Church’s Killer Workout

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music

Charlotte Church thought she was going to die when she began her grueling weight-loss regime. The curvy 23-year-old singer is feeling better after losing 26 pounds in two months, but friends say her new body didn’t come easily.

“Charlotte works out five days a week and reckons it’s the most intensive workout she’s ever followed,” an insider said. “The first time, she told us ‘I thought I was going to die!’ But she’s really stuck to it and reaped the rewards. Charlotte is really feeling sexy again.”

Church has struggled to lose the weight she put on while pregnant with her two children, Ruby, 2, and Dexter, 13 months. Now, thanks to a training regime devised by her rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson, she has lost three dress sizes and is even considering making her own workout DVD.

The source told Britain’s Star magazine: “She’s feeling great and if she can lose another dress size, she wants to do a workout video. “She wants to keep her curves though. She hates the idea of becoming stick-thin.”
