Mel C aka Sporty Spice is eating boob-building biscuits in an effort to increase her cleavage for the upcoming Spice Girls reunion tour.
The Japanese made biscuits are called “F-Cup Cookies”, have only 68.7 calories and are made of trans-fats (which are supposedly sent straight to the chest area) and 50g of breast-enhancing herbs, Pueraria Mirifica. The people who make it claim that eating two biscuits a day should see an increase of at least one cup size.
Sporty told BBC Radio 1: “I’ll be a guinea-pig for them, can you imagine if my boobs got bigger suddenly? That’d be great!”
Hmmm … Forgive me if I seem a little sceptical!
Don’t get me wrong, if by some miracle they really do work I will be the first person on the next flight to Tokyo but the idea that you can eat a food and send any element of it to a specific body part sounds too far fetched for words – except for cheese cake, which everyone knows goes directly to your thighs!
And it seems Mel C isn’t the only singer trying to control the way she looks.
Rumour has it that 23-year-old Ashlee Simpson has a monthly date with plastic surgeon Dr Raj Kanodia for collagen filler injections into her face to stay fresh, with a source close to the songstress claiming: “She is determined to stay young looking for as long as possible. The fillers get rid of wrinkles, and keep her face looking young, taut and smooth”.
Why is a 23-year-old worrying about wrinkles anyway? I can understand wanting to stay young looking when you start to sag and show signs of aging, but it seems faintly ridiculous to start on any kind of treatment before you need to.
As far as looks go, most women go through their prime between the ages of 18 and 30, so why mess with what you have when it’s already the best it’s going to get?
As women, we tend not to age as well as men and where wrinkles on a man can often be described as ‘distinguished’ on women, they simply make us look old but Ashlee Simpson still has a good seven to 10 years ahead of her before she should even start to worry about anti-wrinkle cream, let alone sticking needles in her face on a monthly basis in an attempt to get rid of something she doesn’t even have.
