Jennifer Love Hewitt: Happy in love, happy with curves?

The headline in my news reader made me cringe: "Jennifer Love Hewitt has piled on the pounds." Truth be told, I think she looks fine. Sure, she has a bit of cellulite, but that's not uncommon, even for a Hollywood starlet -- If you ask me, the recently-engaged star of Ghost Whisperer looks happy and healthy. I feel for her because while she has a better body than most people out there, she gets put down for it because she's a celebrity.

Hewitt, who is said to be the inspiration for John Mayer's Your Body Is a Wonderland, recently joked, "My body is far from a wonderland. My body is more like a pawnshop.There's a lot of interesting things put together, and if you look closely you'd probably be excited, but at first glance, not so much."

Hmm ... she's either unhappy with her body and feel the need to poke fun at it, or she's made enough peace with her curves to joke about them. What do you think?

How dare they say that she has piled on the pounds.
Here is a woman whom is happy with life, and herself.
I was bulliemic for thirteen years and went down to thirty kilos.
If only this stunning woman had been around when this had happened i would have then known it was okay to be me.
What scares me the most is that there are girls out there who take these comments literally. How do they think that eating disorders start?
What i want to know is who wrote this comment.
Was it someone who has no self - esteem whatsoever so they have to bag out a woman who is happy with themself to make them feel better?
To the writer, get a life!!!

I've just checked out Jennifer to find out whether she was actually pregnant in Ghost Whisperer and have discovered that she isn't, but has put on some weight instead. I think this is excellent that she's showing young girls that it's okay to be more than size 0 and be happy with your body. My only criticism of Ghost Whisperers is the house she lives in in the series couldn't possibly house all the clothes she wears in every episode...and it's a bit like a fashion show now, which rather spoils it...but that's just my opinion...

Whatever the case, I think she looks amazing. I think Ghost Whisperer is new this week so check her out for yourself if you haven't already (Friday at 8PM on CBS). You'll see what I mean!
