Desperate Diets: Just how desperate would you have to be to follow an extreme diet?

Could you give up alcohol, chocolate, never eat meat again? What if it meant the difference between having the perfect body or curing a nasty illness?

If you're one of the lucky ones you eat, and drink for pleasure, but for others their diet sacrifice could be the difference between life and death. Emma Keeling talks to three people driven to what most would call radical dieting.

Anatomy of a Star: 20/20's Hannah Ockelford has been to LA, to talk to Grey's Anatomy stars Kevin McKidd (Dr Hunt), and Justin Chambers (Dr Alex Karev). They talk about life as struggling actors, and making it big on one of TV's biggest shows.

Changes: 20/20 talks to Charles Kane, perhaps the only person in the world to have sexual reassignment surgery twice, going from man to woman and back again. Kane regrets his decision to have sexual reassignment surgery and, believes it is too easy for people to have the life changing procedure.

The best of New Zealand and international Current Affairs with reporters, Emma Keeling, Hannah Ockelford, Erin Conroy and Sonya Wilson
