Penelope Cruz gained 17 pounds for Nine

Singer Stacy Ann Ferguson and Actress Penelope Cruz had to gain 17 pounds before shooting of musical "Nine" began. The two had been asked to put on the weight which they merrily oblige to do.

“We were eating our brains out. We ordered everything fried and full of fat and salty,” said Fergie.

But after filming ended, Fergie discovered that she was not able to get rid of all the fat so easily, and her new curves prompted pregnancy rumours.

“If I don’t do sit-ups, my stomach sticks out,” she said.
