Former Playboy model and actress Carmen Electra used a rather interesting way to get fit and slim, according to this British tabloid: she likes to give erotic lap dances and do strip teases.

‘I think that strippers have the best bodies,’ says Carmen. ‘Every time I go to a strip club the girls look just incredible and have fantastic figures. You can also use the moves in the bedroom.’

It was during her stint in the burlesque cabaret act Pussycat Dolls with Christina Aguilera in 2003 that she danced her way to a sexier figure by performing the demanding and daring dance moves on the show.

‘While we were rehearsing, my body began to get leaner,’ she says. ‘I didn’t have a lot of weight to lose, but I really toned up. And I was having fun getting in shape.’

She has a point - dancing of any type is really good for the body. Stripping involves slower, precise moves which use a lot of muscle control and stretching.

Here are some rather unflattering pictures of Nicole Richie from this past weekend. She was doing some grocery shopping and errands with Mischa Barton that day for party supplies.

Her stomach seems to be quite distended in the pictures. With all the talk of rehab, relapse and anorexia, who knows what is really going on with her? But her appearance speaks volumes - she looks thin, malnourished and very unhealthy here.

Here is Kate Hudson all in white, leaving the gym after what I assume was a grueling workout. (How else does she keep that fabulous figure?)

Has Mary-Kate Olsen gained a little weight? Based on these photos, I’d say she hasn’t.

I see little more than skin and bones… but what do you all think? I’ve gotten a couple of emails claiming that she looks healthier these days.
