Emma Stone had to wear a corset in The Favourite, which will soon be released. She said: "After a month, all my organs shifted - it was gross and if you don't have to, don't do it!"
Ashton Kutcher adopted a fruitarian diet while preparing for his role in Jobs (2013), the bio of Apple's founder.

My thanks to Ira, who bought two large books: A collection of the front page of the NY Times from 1920-1986, concentrating on the most famous stories in that span, and an almanac; and to the gentleman who purchased a thriller in Russian; and to Andy F-Bomb and Marie, who each donated a bag of very marketable books.
