BEYONCE KNOWLES - KNOWLES: 'I LOOKED LIKE A COTTON BUD WHEN I WAS SKINNY'

BEYONCE KNOWLES thinks she looked like a "cotton bud" when she lost weight for her role in movie musical DREAMGIRLS. The 25-year-old went on a drastic diet to slim down for her role as singer DEENA JONES in the film, but she admits she looks better with a more curvaceous figure. She says, "I'm not naturally skinny. I fasted for two whole weeks, then got by on vegetables. I was starving. I didn't recognise myself. I was like a cotton bud. "I look better with a few pounds on my bones."
