Marcia Cross used to devour donuts

**MaryJane** · February 25th, 2006, 06:27 AM

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star MARCIA CROSS gained 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) while working at US chain Dunkin'' Donuts - because she couldn't stop eating the merchandise.

The now-svelte star landed her first job working at the donut chain and soon started stacking on the weight.

She explains, "I got so fat! Oh, my God, I ate everything! I had the little pastry bag and I filled the cream donuts and I dunked the chocolate covered ones. Mostly I ate. I'm not sure how long I worked there - however long it took to gain 30 pounds!"

Yuck. I hate doughnuts. Waaaaaay to sweet. I've worked around food and even worked around foods I loved as a teen and after a week I wouldn't even wanna look at it, much less put it in my mouth. Being around something that much I got sick of it before I could consume enough to gain any weight. So I guess I don't understand that. If she was as underweight then as she is now she probably didn't look half bad gaining that weight!

^^ Have you had a good homemade donut? Those are awesome!

I agree about many donuts being too sweet. I prefer plain cake donuts myself, not too sweet and they go very well with coffee.

Marcia needs to go on a donut binge now. Matter of fact, Wisteria Lane needs a Dunkin Donuts STAT.

Oh God, I want donuts too!

I'm throwing on my clothes and going to the donut shop now. I love the donuts made by independent little donut shops. Our local place has been around since at least the 60's.
