Ali Larter, Christina Applegate, Angelina Jolie and More Dish on Pregnancy Diets

Aug. 2, 2010 — -- In a world where celery sticks and egg whites sometimes constitute a meal, a biological excuse to pig out can be a blessing.

This week, two pregnant actresses opened up about how they're indulging while they're expecting. "Resident Evil: Afterlife" star Ali Larter declared "I eat everything!" to reporters at San Diego's Comic-Con.

"I bake myself strawberry shortcakes and then I wake up at three in the morning and I eat them," said the 34-year-old Larter, soon to be a first-time mom. "I love it because so much of the time, I have to be careful. I work out. I play certain roles where it's important for me to look a certain way. But now it's just freedom. It's like, bring on the Sprinkles cupcakes, pizza, pasta. I'm loving it!"

It's not just junk food. At the premiere of her latest movie, "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore," Christina Applegate told "Entertainment Tonight" that she's craved "weird things at weird hours" throughout her pregnancy, but avocados especially.

Larter and Applegate are the latest stars to leap outside the string bean-lined bounds of a normally strict diet in the name of pregnancy. Below, check out more cravings Hollywood's leading ladies slayed while expecting:

Angelina Jolie may look svelte in "Salt," but the mother of six reportedly didn't worry about her waistline when she was carrying her twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, now age 2. According to OK! magazine, she indulged in onion rings and dark chocolate revved up with Mexican chillies and cinnamon: spicy and sexy.
