Jennifer Love Hewitt Blasts Media for Weight Comments

Jennifer Love Hewitt felt the need to take time out from celebrating her engagement to Ross McCall to address the recent comments about her weight. Jen was photographed frolicking on the beach with her love, in a black bikini, which caused tons of media reports saying The Ghost Whisperer actress has "piled on the pounds."
Jen decided she wasn't just going to sit around and let the media dog her. She posted this message on her website, defending herself and women everywhere:
"This is the last time I will address this subject.I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I'm not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image.
A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn't make you beautiful.
What I should be doing is celebrating some of the best days of my life and my engagement to the man of my dreams, instead of having to deal with photographers taking invasive pictures from bad angles. I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body.
To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini -- put it on and stay strong."
Good for Jen! She's is not even close to fat and, more than anything, I'm glad she knows it. Screw everybody else.



She is not fat
and I think if she gained a little weight that would make her even prettier
Excellent ,sensible comment .
That article basically compared airbrushed photos to the non-airbrushed bikini shots. All it does is show the magic of air brushing. Jen looks great and she is NOT big.
Hi, She is beautiful and a good actress.She has nice hips. Adell
She looks fabulous. I feel sorry for people who have nothing better to think about then calling a woman who looks like her "fat" or whatever they were saying. Pitiful.
You're beautiful Jennifer!
TMZ's comments about her were so rude and contribute to unhealthy body images-I was so offended I am no longer going on their site
Now that is one strong,intelligent, beautiful woman. Need we say more?
Good for you Jennifer. You look amazing and I'm glad you found the man of your dreams!
Good for Jennifer. I must be a pig then because I am a size 3.
this weekend i went shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding. I was depressed after a while realizing that i am bigger than i used to be. going from a size five to an eight was highly depressing. i went to my boyfriend's house and when he asked me what was wrong i told him. he laughed right in my face. i was so mad. then he said, "baby, you aren't anywhere near fat! seriously i've been trying to put weight on you for months." then he took me over to the mirror, (and after much wrestling) got me to stand there in my undies and said, "baby, look at your self. ok maybe you have the slightest showing of a pooch but that's it. i think your pooch is sexy, and i think you are beautiful. you should too." i was never affected by how i look compared to stars until recently. I feel like people expect me to be a size 2. and for my height (5'8) that's just downright unhealthy! so when stars like Jennifer come out and point out the ridiculous obsession we have with weight it makes me feel a little better. but i did go run
Good for her for not worrying about her weight. I think she looks great either way, but there is no way she is a size 2. The Hanes photos are probably so touched up and airbrushed anyway.
OMG. If she's fat, then the rest of America is a bunch of hippos. She looks great. It's too bad she had to address the negative comments in the first place, but I understand why she did. And we certainly all have days when we feel disgusting no matter how thin or voluptous we are.
Jennifer looks beautiful she is not fat. We have to look like we are starving in order to look beautiful. This society is really scewed up.
i agree with her comments and that is all great..
i just feel that it would mean more coming from an actress who is bigger than most others. sure jennifer can say this stuff but she is tiny, no where near fat or overweight...
so of course she loves her body, why wouldnt she?
i love her and i think she had great things to say.. i just dont think she can talk HONESTLY about weight issues when she is a size 2, just doesnt really make sense
Good for her! She's beautiful and intelligent enough not to let the media (ahem...TMZ) tell her she's fat.

You. Go. Girl.
I am glad to see that she is speaking out for herself as well as for the rest of the girls famous or not that think bad about there bodies...
No, she definitely is NOT Fat and looks fabulous!!!! :-)
You look great Jennifer and you should be focused on your happiness. At least you are known for your acting, not showing off your privates while clubbing. Very classy and beautiful. Congrats on your engagement and I wish you all the luck.
Thank you Jennifer! First off, they keep changing sizes, second jr sizes are cut different (size 3 is a Jr size) a size 2 misses would be big on a size 3 teen. A size 2 is very small, a size 3 smaller i think everyone is sick of magazines promoting annorexia! That is why countries like Spain are banning stick thin models. There are a rare few who are tiny and tall but lets face it if you are 6' tall and weigh 100lbs you need to get real and get a burger, you are not fooling anyone! Kate Moss said for years she was just naturally thing then we find pictures of her doing coke....hmmmm.... can you say liar. I personally am 5'5" and i wear a 0, i work out i weigh more than 115lbs bwecause it is muscle and i don't have my ribs sticking out, I used to be 180lb and a size 12 so you can be small and healthy but i'll tell you what people are a lot less critical of me now and that is crap. I'm the same person I was before just smaller! Be who you are if you are happpy at a size 10 great cause men like the curves
Join Tyra Banks SO WHAT campain! I have a big butt SO WHAT! Go JEN GO! Most of us wish we looked like you! I bet the person calling her fat was no stick themselves but they hid taking the picture take one of them put it on the web and point out every imperfection they have stalk the stalkeratzzii. Show what it's like!
This whole JLH situation is very weird.
This actress has rarely gotten upset,
but now,with this situation,she seems
quite sensitive. NOT a good omen for
a relationship. AND she's maintained
unnatural bleached hair throughout;not
to mention getting out of shape (aka
"fat") Now,people are going to start
those pregnancy rumors all over again...
it's sickening...and tolerating a
drinker for a spouse when she's totally
clean-living? That's got to be a strain.
what the hell is this guy babbling about? her doesn't look "bleached" and so what if this pissed her off what does that have to do with her relationship? As for her weight, I saw this pickture she really didn't look fat to me. The camera makes everone's flaws more noticable. you can weigh upto 130lbs and fit in to many brands size 2. 130 is a nice health weight othere that a bit o cellulite which even skinny people can have I tjought her ass looked good at least she has a woman's body and isn't some annorexic twig like half of hollywood.
i think jennifer hewitt is a top actress she played the ghost whisperer like a pro the ghost whisperer is my favourite show seeing that jennifer played the ghost whisperer duz jennifer feel anythink in real life
I pitty the poeple who made those coments about her. She is a beautiful woman and the fact that she said all that shows how smart, strong, and great she is!
I think she looks great! I showed my husband the pictures and he likes her even more now because he says its nice to see a celebrity who's happy and HEALTHY...we both think its great that she has a "normal person" body and doesn't feel the need to conform to Hollywood waifs...way to go!! It is so refreshing...she's gone up to the top of my favorite celebrity list!!

Oops!! Sorry I triple posted!!
Shes RUBENESQUE! and nobody likes a bone but a dog.
YOU LOOK GOOD WISH I DID
Poor thing. People are giving her grief because she actually has a NORMAL body. My body looks just like her's (except I have less boobs). I am 23, 5'4, and 117 lbs. Yes, I have a couple dimples in the back of my legs just like she does and I have hips. I am I fat? No. Have I "packed on the pounds?" NO. I was born 3 motnhs early and weighed 3 lbs 2 oz. I have a normal body. The nurses had called my mom when I was 3 months old and told her if she wanted to see me she should come to the hospital because I had less than 8 hours to live. I lived. I am healthy now even though I wasn't then. People should be proud to be ALIVE and HEALTHY. Of course I wish I wouldn't have the dimples in the back of my thighs but what woman doesn't? My husand thinks I look great so what else matters? She looks wonderful! She doesn't look sick or starved like most of the celebs do. Same for Britney Spears. She has had 2 babies. I hope I look like that after 2 babies. People need to give us women a break.
Its funny how there "dimples" when we are younger,,but "celulite" when we are older,,,,my car has a few dipples from a recent hailstorm,,gives her character,,,
And as for JLH if you think she is fat, then you need to get your eyes tested,,,
Anyway i beleive its whats in your heart that matters,,not how big, your tits, hips or arse is!
theres a lot of skinny bitches out there :)
Fantastic! One of the best things I've heard in a long time!!!
in my side of the world, hips,boobs and ass are considered sexy..it creates d curves 2 make a distinct diff from a man.i personalt believ that those skinny peopke that think they are sexy are simply sik..jenny looks much better wiyh the added weight.dnt u agree ppl?i think we just got som jelous ppl around dats all
I agree that not everyone is meant to be the same size 2. Some do look better that way but its nice to see a normal looking celeb once and awhile.I saw the pics on tmz, she did let herself go a bit, but that is her and only her right to comment about. I wish her luck with her fiancee and that she keeps her self image as high as it should be.
i have never been a fan of jlh, but i've got to give the woman her props.
way to go! all those pictures showed was a normal looking woman, it's great to hear her embracing her body and standing up for all the young (and maybe not so young) women who look to unrealistic celebrity/model/airbrushed photos for inspiration.
jennifer, you have earned my respect.
how is she being sensitive. did you look at the pictures? these were very unflattering pics taken and posted just for the purpose of being mean and trying to put someone down. she handled the situation very well. she remained calm and strong (at least in the public eye) and i for one say you go girl!
I love her show and while I noticed she is curvy she looks soooo fabulous...I had curves like that when I was younger when I was a size 6 but I still have an hourglass figure which my hubby loves...I am size 12 and proud of it!!!!!! GO LOVE!!!!
Go Jennifer! I think she's beautiful inside and out!
She looks healthy - but there is no way she is a size 2. Size 6 or 8 maybe.
