Beyonce KnowlesBeyonceWell, so a little birdie tells us.

And the chatty birdie? None other than Beyonce herself.

Ms Knowles has revealed to Heat magazine that she's been weight-watching in the past few months for her upcoming role in the film Dreamgirls.

Out has gone the fatty (otherwise known as yummy) food and in has come a health kick of big proportions - one that's said to include five work-outs a week.

But Beyonce admits it's been a struggle:

"It's not been easy being a Southern girl who loves good soul food.

"I have a month to lose more weight, as I want to look completely different to how I normally do."

The singer's weight loss might come as a bit of a shock to her fans, as she's always championed womanly curves in the past.
