Jennifer Love Who?

Jennifer Love Hewitt got a rock on her finger, and now she’s skyrocketing back into the headlines. Known primarily for playing the sniveling Sarah on Party of Five, Hewitt since bounced from bad movie to bad movie before landing back on the small screen in Ghost Whisperer (which is really just an example of how unfair the world is. How can this show still be on after two years, while quality programming like My So-Called Life was cancelled after only one??? Oooh, Jordan Catalano, be still my heart!). So what’s the skinny star doing now that’s she’s back in the spotlight? She’s tackling weight issues. "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," the actress blogged on her website. "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." She signed off with a shout out: "To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini - put it on and stay strong."
Hmmm, I agree with the sentiments, but I think there’d be more meat to the story if she wasn’t a stick and the issue hadn’t already been pulverized like some tasty tenderized steak to the point where one wonders whether celebs really care or it’s just trendy to talk about.
