The Black Eyed Peas singer, Fergie has put on 13lbs for her role in musical movie ‘Nine’. She stars alongside Nicole Kidman.  She had to be on calorific diets to get her perfect weight for her role as a prostitute Saraghina.

She said: “I have to give the bad food up now! So, yeah - I’m in that phase! Back to diet designs - my food delivery service!…”

33 year old singer found it hard to maintain her strict food regime. She said everything else seemed just fine except for the fact that she loved pumpkin pie.

She added to Usmagazine.com : “I like a good pumpkin pie - that’s my favourite - with homemade whipped cream. Whipped cream from scratch. I’ll eat it for breakfast, always.”

Fergie revealed her desperate attempt to lose weight before she weds fiance Josh Duhamel. She admitted she had to have several things that she never could have before. She ate all things fried like fish and chips.

Her mouth-wattering reminiscence of good food resounded in her words : “You can do creative things with food though. You know, turkey isn’t fattening - you can do that. A little bit of gravy. Or have a nice big salad!” She singer was sad for being able to indulge herself in good food/food of her choice.
