Beyonce hasn't always liked the way she looks, especially when she lost weight for her mega movie role.

Beyonce insists she looked like a "cotton bud" in "Dreamgirls."

The normally curvaceous singer-and-actress went on a liquid-only diet to slim down for her role as Motown singer Deena Jones in the movie, but admits she didn't like her smaller physique.

She told Britain's Elle magazine, "I didn't recognize myself during filming because I looked like a cotton bud and that wasn't a nice feeling. I look better with a few pounds on my bones."

In "Dreamgirls" - which is loosely based on the career of '60s girl group The Supremes - Beyonce's character is asked to become the lead singer of The Dreamettes after original lead vocalist Effie White - played by Jennifer Hudson - is deemed too large.

Beyonce admits she found her drastic crash-course diet a nightmare and couldn't wait to start eating again, because she loves her "fattening" foods.

The 25-year-old star, who is dating rapper Jay-Z, said, "I love fried fish, fried shrimp and all different types of pasta. If it's fattening, I love it! The trouble is it goes to my sides, my hips and my butt real quick."

I saw Ms. Beyonce aka SASHA on Jay Leno, and boy, did she have a big floating helium head of conceitedness! Her dress was too tight, too short, and too disgusting.
She needs to start a sex brothel as she floats around unabashedly in the raw most of the time with sexaholic looks. SASHA, come back out of Beyonce, no, no, I would rather have that out of this world, classy beauty, Jennifer "Hollywood" Hudson. All stand and applaud now. We do not have a self centered lady like Ms. B here!! Beyonce, you really think you are hot sh_t, but the news is: You are demure and insecure. . . SASHA, SASHA, go back in to the psychic ward PLEEASE! Your self envy will mess with your 2007 SEXAHOLIC TOUR. . . you are disgusting, and you call yourself a Christian. . . read some more of yiour Houston Bible gurl! Yall come back now hurr?

I agree she does have a big ego, she went into the movie thinking she was gonna win all kinda awards but jennifer showed her up, and im so glad!! Its so good to see pie in her face, shes so dumb thinking the whole world is in love with her, and for a christian oh im sorry i mean a 'CHRISTIAN' she sure does act like a damn jeezebelle she needs to stop talking about how shes so grounded and realize that she lives in a damn bubble and shes floating through space and not even her mamma can keep her rooted to earth if she continues to lie to herself
