Baby Spice proud of her body
Emma Bunton had a tough time getting her Baby Spice body back just two-and-a-half months after having a baby of her own.
"At the time, I thought going on tour so soon after Beau would be a great idea," Bunton told Red magazine, the UK's Daily Mail reported. "I should have thought about it more! I had the best time, but it was hard. You have to get back in shape and your fitness has to be up to a two-hour stage show every night. I don't know if I'll put myself through that again. It's tough for any woman returning to work straight after having a baby."
Nonetheless, Bunton is proud of her body. "I like being curvy. I don't think I'd look good thin," she said. "I'm careful. I don't have carbs for dinner, but I love crisps and Coke and great wine and Chinese food. I could never be one of those people who thinks about their figure 24/7."

Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell are reportedly set to star as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson respectively.
The yet-to-be-titled film, coproduced by Judd Apatow, will be helmed by Guy Ritchie who was quoted by the UK's Guardian as saying his version will "take advantage of (Holmes') skills as a boxer and swordsman."
A spokesperson from Columbia Pictures, Matt Tolmach, spoke to Variety saying, "Just the idea of Sacha and Will as Sherlock Holmes and Watson made us laugh . . . Sacha and Will are two of the funniest and most talented guys on the planet and having them take on these two iconic characters is frankly hilarious."

Family Guy mastermind Seth MacFarlane may still have some marijuana jokes in his show, but he's apparently cutting down on weed in the real world.
"I don't smoke much pot anymore," MacFarlane told the New York Daily News's Rush & Molloy. "One of the last times I was stoned, I was convinced that I would die unless I kept moving my body. So I sat there, baked, waving my arms around like a crazy person."

Apparently Charlize Theron has the final say about whether any of her sex scenes from her films will ever see the light of day.
"I always have a clause in my contract that if I see the finished film and I don't feel it's appropriate or I do feel like somebody's trying to take advantage of me, I can pull the scene," the actress told Parade magazine.
As for filming them, the Hancock star said: "I think people forget how technical those scenes are, more technical than anything else that you'll ever do in acting. It's not a sexy free for all. It's not show up and get busy and hopefully the camera will catch it. And there really is no room for anything except occasional awkwardness and giggles."
