About a week ago, Jennifer Love Hewitt and her newly enfianced were hanging out in Hawaii celebrating their new engagement, showing off her new rock, and just enjoying some ‘us’ time. And of course, the paparazzi were there catching every minute of it. But, of course is to be expected when you are the hit of a primetime television drama, but Jennifer has some issues with some of the pictures that have been since published that have caught her in all her cellulite glory. Here are the thoughts she relayed on her MySpace page:
About my Vacation… Current mood: annoyed
…and all the pictures of it online.
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.

I think the mentality she has behind it is great, but I also do think that maybe in these situations, NOT reacting is almost as effective as making a huge statement about it. It’s the whole ‘protesting too much’ thing. By not saying anything she would show that she really didn’t care what people thought of her body, or her body image. Clearly the girl has grown much healthier since her waifish Party of Five days, which is GREAT. But talking about it so much is clearly drawing attention to things that uh, most women just DON’T want attention to, regardless of how much they love their body.
