The Skinny on Jennifer Love Hewitt

Months after blasting the tabloids for mocking her choice to wear a bikini, Jennifer Love Hewitt has shed some serious weight.

The actress has reportedly dropped close to 20 pounds in ten weeks, and appears on the cover of the latest Us Weekly looking svelte. The "Ghost Whisperer" star insists the weight loss is not the result of flack she received after publication of bikini pix of her in Hawaii this year.

Hewitt talked about the controversy at the January premiere of "27 Dresses," saying, "It made me feel a little embarrassed to be honest -- it made me a little sad. It hurt my feelings."

she def. caved in. i also agree that she’s just contributing to the message that your not beautiful unless your thin. she wasn’t fat by any means before, she was normal. and even the thinnest super models have cellulite and other problem areas…the difference between us and them is that we don’t have someone airbrushing all our pics. for margazines.

What a disappointment that she caved into the pressure of Hollywood. It’s easy to say the comments had nothing to do with it but if it didn’t why did she essentially drop out of the spotlight since then and reappear as a walking stick? Will she be retracting her statement she made to young women that they should love their curves “like she did” since she decided to conform? She was already thin, 18 lbs off her frame is WAY too much. Now she looks like every other gaunt, hungry actress in Hollywood and lost the rack that my hubby always loved to drool over.

She looked perfectly fine before! Now she blends in with the other skinny women of Hollywood. It seems like she let the whole “fat” bikini picture get to her, and that’s disappointing. It was refreshing seeing someone wasn’t stick thin. It’s too bad that she lost the weight. I’m sure she was healthy before. To me, this is clearly so she can look skinny.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is beautiful and she will always be beautiful. Critics are having a field day taking potshots at her weight. I don’t. I’m a big fan of the actress and I know better than making rude comments about her weight.

I think Jennifer Lowe Hewitt is a beautiful and a sexy woman. She looks better than ever. It is what the the inside tha counts, but not the outside. Beauty and character are what’s matter most. Love yourself for you are.

I firmly believe… what’s in the inside a person and not the outside that really matters. It is her choice whether to lose any weight or not. It’s her body to do with it as she sees fit. If she wants to lose 10, 15, or 20 lbs., that is totally up to her.

Jennifer for the most part has always been a “thin” actress. She’s become more curvy in recent years. She looks great either way - but I admit the timing of her weight loss is suspect. Unfortunately this sends a message once again to teens that to be beautiful you must also be thin too! The “bottom” line though is it’s her body and she needed to do what was best for herself…

I cannot believe she caved! What in blazes was wrong w/ her before? Just because some idiots make rude, stupid comments of a beach photo, doesn’t mean she had to turn into a skeleton. She can say all she wants, that it wasn’t about that, but it’s obvious she let the childish words of strangers affect her body image. Nice work!

She is beautiful size 10 or size 0. It is what is inside that matters most, your beauty will shine through if that is who you are inside. Look at Jennifer Hudson.
