Are you obsessed with celebrity diet ’secrets’ - those tabloid tidbits that appear like clockwork in every gossip magazine?

Authors Kym Douglas and Cindy Pearlman have rounded them all up and made a book out of it: The Black Book of Hollywood Diet Secrets.

Whether or not you should take such a book seriously is questionable. Celebrity diet tips are at best silly and at worst dangerous. The tips are also anecdotal - how can you really be sure that Jennifer Lopez sniffs grapefruit oil and should you even care?

You too can look and feel like an A-lister:

• John Cusack avoids everythings white (flour, sugar, and wheat).

• Oprah Winfrey uses wulong slimming tea.

• Heidi Klum and Cindy Crawford take a few sips of vinegar before dinner because the “vinegar kills your hunger pangs”. (Interesting - because the Ultimate New York Diet counts Heidi Klum as one of its success stories — and vinegar-sipping is not a part of the plan).

• Apparently asparagus, parsley, and dried prunes are a celebrity staple due to their “ability to repress hunger and reduce bloating”.

• Carmen Electra and Jennifer Lopez carry around a vial of grapefruit oil. Apparently the “aroma that affects your liver enzymes, which activates the nerves that cause fats to be broken down and burnt off.”.

That’s about enough of celebrity wisdom. Who cares.

Being a first-rate version of yourself always beats being a second-rate version of someone else.
