Some people stand in the darkness, afraid to... step on the scale!

At least that's how it seems if you were a female cast member on the classic beach-set action soap, "Baywatch," which, believe it or not, is celebrating its 25th anniversary next year.

"Entertainment Tonight" spoke with cast members including David Hasselhoff, Nicole Eggert, Traci Bingham and David Chokachi, and the stars revealed some behind-the-scenes tidbits, such as the strange clauses in their contracts -- including one for the actresses that stated they couldn't gain or lose more than five pounds of weight:

"If you did anything to gain or lose weight, etc. you were in trouble," reveals Traci Bingham, who was on the series from 1996-1998. Nicole Eggert explained further: “[There] was a five pound fluctuation you couldn't go up or down."

Since hanging up their lifeguard suits some of the "Baywatch" stars have fallen out of the spotlight, while others have stayed in the headlines for better (like Pamela Anderson recently announcing she would run in the New York Marathon for Sean Penn's Haitian Relief Fund) or worse (see: David Hasselhoff).

Tune into "Entertainment Tonight" starting October 7, as they go inside the lifeguard stand for all the juicy gossip from the legendary series ... but whatever the truth is, it can't be any scarier than "Baywatch Nights."

Brad Pitt & Jen Aniston Split

Word to the wise: If your husband is ever cast in a movie opposite the world's hottest woman, encourage him to quit the business. It is widely rumored that Pitt's "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-star Angelina Jolie was the driving force behind his 2005 divorce from Jennifer Aniston. (Getty)

Martha Stewart Behind Bars

2004 certainly wasn't a "good thing" for Martha Stewart. The prim and proper do-it-yourself maven was found guilty of "conspiracy, obstruction of an agency proceeding, and making false statements to federal investigators" and sentenced to five months in jail. Plus side? We're sure that Martha had the swankest cell on the block. (Getty)

Michael Jackson On Trial

In 2005, Michael was a court regular when he was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy. Perhaps his case would have been helped if he didn't wear what looked like children's pajamas to his hearings. (Getty)
