Beyoncé Knowles: I'll pig out on Christmas Day

Singer loves to stuff her face

Beyoncé Knowles will really be enjoying her Christmas dinner today - because she loves a feast.

'People are obsessed with skinny girls at the moment,' she says. 'I'm going to be eating for America over Christmas to get some more junk in my trunk. So raise a glass and toast
me, people.'

The 25-year-old lost 13lbs in 10 days on a liquid-only diet for her role in Dreamgirls but admits she has been having a good time re-gaining her curves - tucking into waffles and 'soul food'.

She tells the Daily Star: 'OK, I lost a lot of weight for Dreamgirls. But I sure am enjoying putting it all back on.'

Beyoncé's gruelling pre-film diet - which saw her surviving on maple syrup mixed with water, lemon juice and cayenne pepper - sparked criticism from health experts, but during shooting the star warned other women not to copy the extreme eating plan.
