I'll Have What She's Having: My Adventures in Celebrity Dieting

<b>A hilarious look at the eating habits of the fit and famous--from Gwyneth's goji berry and quail egg concoctions to Jackie Kennedy's baked potato and Beluga caviar regimen--Rebecca Harrington leaves no cabbage soup unstirred in her wickedly funny, wildly absurd quest to diet like the stars.</b><br> Elizabeth Taylor mixed cottage cheese and sour cream; Madonna subsisted on &quot;sea vegetables;&quot; and Marilyn Monroe drank raw eggs whipped with warm milk. Where there is a Hollywood starlet offering nutritional advice, there is a diet Rebecca Harrington is willing to try. Facing a harrowing mix of fainting spells, pimples, and salmonella, Harrington tracks down illegal haggis to imitate Pippa Middleton, paces her apartment until the wee hours drinking ten Diet Cokes à la Karl Lagerfeld, and attempts something forbiddingly known as the &quot;Salt Water Flush&quot; to channel her inner Beyoncé. Rebecca Harrington risks kitchen fires and mysterious face rashes, all in the name of diet journalism. Taking cues from noted beauty icons like Posh Spice (alkaline!) , Dolly Parton (Velveeta!) , Sophia Loren (pasta!) and Cameron Diaz (savory oatmeal!) , <i>I'll Have What She's Having</i> is completely surprising, occasionally unappetizing, and always outrageously funny.
