Spice Girls' Posh diet

Victoria Beckham has devised a strict diet and exercise regime for the Spice Girls to help get them in shape for their upcoming world tour.

Victoria is keen for her bandmates - Emma Bunton, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Mel B - to look their very best when they take to the stage in December, and has allegedly told the girls they should follow her healthy eating plan to shift any excess pounds.

"Victoria has told the girls her secret to getting in shape is 200 sit-ups a day and a diet of edamame soya beans, strawberries and lettuce. She is determined to make sure the reunion goes well because her image in America is important to her. She wants the girls to all look their very best, and says her diet is a guaranteed way of losing the pounds."

The girl group announced they were reuniting last week for an 11-date tour and to release a greatest hits album.

The band will kick off the series of shows in Los Angeles, followed by concerts in Las Vegas, New York City, London, Cologne, Madrid, Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Cape Town and Buenos Aires.

Al Pacino Talks About Turning Down 'Pretty Woman' Role

Al Pacino passed on Pretty Woman even though he knew the film would be a big hit and Julia Roberts a massive star. The actor reveals he was director Gary Marshall's first choice to play opposite Roberts in the film - and he even read with the movie's star before passing on the project and allowing Richard Gere to take his place.

Speaking exclusively on CNN show Larry King Live, Pacino recalls, "I could tell Julia Roberts was a great actress... You could just see it. It was just so obvious. She had never done anything. I even said to Gary Marshall, 'This girl, where did you find her?'"

But Pacino felt sure the film wasn't for him after listening back to his reading with Roberts and realizing he was the wrong guy to woo her hooker character.

The adds, "There's a lot of reasons you don't do a movie... Sometimes it's geography, sometimes it's family, sometimes it's just not the right role for you and you don't feel you belong in that part."
