Kate Beckinsale was worried she wouldn't fit into her catsuit for 'Underworld: Awakening' because she ate so much while filming in New Orleans.
The British actress was overwhelmed with the choice of delicious foods while shooting 'Contraband' in the Louisiana city but admitted it led to some anxiety about getting back in shape for the skin tight costumes she wears in the latest 'Underworld' installment.
She explained to Ontheredcarpet.com: "The whole time I was preparing for 'Underworld,' I was actually shooting 'Contraband,' so New Orleans is a wonderful city, but it's not the most fantastic place to get in shape because we want to go try those beignets and all those wonderful things.
However, Kate showed that she has regained her sexy slim figure as she stepped out in a stunning strapless Roberto Cavalli gown with sequin embellishments at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles last night (15.01.12) and it appears her New Years' resolution to be healthier is paying off.
"It's got the worst kind of 'Underworld' suit food, really. So it was a miracle. I guess having had a lot of training for the first one, thank goodness, it wasn't quite as extensive as that but there were still a lot of complicated fight scenes to learn and stunts I hadn't done before and just the sheer terror of getting back into that suit, which is a bit like a put your bikini on and stand in Times Square kind of feeling."
She explained: "I walk around holding a bottle of water a lot and my resolution this year is to actually drink it. I think I've drunk it just because I'm carrying it from the car to the house and back out again, I've just got to drink more water, I think."

Megan Fox is in negotiations to play the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor in a new movie.
The 'Jonah Hex' star is in competition with Lindsay Lohan for the part in made-for-TV production 'Liz and Dick' for the Lifetime channel, the film's executive producer Larry Thompson has confirmed.
He told E! News: "I've been talking to Lindsay Lohan directly, and with her reps, and have been in conversation with other actresses, including Megan Fox.
According to TMZ.com, Lindsay is said to be particularly keen to win the role following a troublesome year, and wants to complete her community service order - placed on her as a result of a 2007 DUI (driving under the influence) case - in quick time.
"It's a very serious selection. It's like casting for Hollywood royalty."
The contract for the part could be signed as early as next week, and should the 'Mean Girls' actress keep up her speedy work she is expected to be finished with her probation by the end of March, meaning she would be free when the film begins shooting in Canada in spring.

Janet Jackson has been named and shamed an anti-fur campaign by an animal rights group.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have branded Janet Jackson their first ever Grinch of the Year for her involvement designing a collection for fur fashion label Blackglama.
The anti-fur group have long had Janet Jackson on their hit list, contacting her numerous times over the past decade in an attempt to curb her fondness for wearing animal skins.
This time, they did not mince their words.
In a harsh condemnation referring to the singer's well-documented nipple exposure at the 2004 Super Bowl, PETA said:
'When Janet Jackson had her infamous wardrobe malfunction during Super Bowl XXXVIII, at least what popped into view of 170 million onlookers belonged to her, unlike the animal skins she drapes herself in, which are as dead as her fashion taste and her career.'

On working with her film's actresses:"It was nice for me to play with other girls; I don't really have girlfriends in movies, if you've noticed... Well, I have a few girlfriends, I just... I stay at home a lot. I'm just not very social. I don't do a lot with them, and I'm very homebound."
On moving away from acting:"...I woke up one day realizing, God, I'm an actor. I don;t think I intended to be an actor. I think my mother wanted it for me. I loved telling stories, and I enjoyed the profession, but is it too late to be something else?"

On Knox and Vivienne:"Knox is very much a dude. Very physical, tough. He loves dinosaurs and swords. She [Vivienne] is so elegant and delicate.
