Things That Bang

Celebrities are getting their bodies done, whether they be in Hollywood or Bollywood and their lack of boobs, lack of cellulite, creamy skin are reasons for a regular woman to feel bummed out.

Then comes along Jennifer Love Hewitt with her fabulous smile and gorgeous wholesome body. The first time I laid my eyes on her was in the movie Garfield and was totally blown over by her curvy figure, followed by the television series Ghost Whisperer. Though she seemed skinny but her booty remained booty-lious. It was as if the middle path between looking like a pre-adolescent boy with little boobies and being a fertility goddess had been attained.

Jennifer Love Hewitt became one of my most liked actors. Her innocent apple pie smile would just pep us up even on the most wretched day. She never made news for all the wrong reasons- no hard partying, no undies being flashed, no rehab news, no nothing. She seemed to be just another ordinary beautiful American gal.

But one fine day we see horrid pictures of her in a bikini. She looked kind of weird, curves bulging from all directions, more like a delicious muffin with mushroom-like toppings.

People said - Egawd! What went wrong with her? Love made her all pudgy?

I, on the other hand, was miffed. We are so used to seeing emaciated women in bikinis that when a regular babe wears one, we all do a collective 'ewww'

Remember Britney by the pool with two other scrawny babes? The collective 'eww'? Unfortunately Britney too caved in to the public pressure and went under the knife, cut, suck and tightened. Britney still looks Britney; the thing is after having two babies a woman's body cannot look like a girl's.

And sometimes what some can achieve others cannot, thats the way nature works.

Fair is where hogs win blue ribbons. We all cannot look like Super models and like Jennifer Love Hewitt we should love ourselves. She is the kind of woman that we can identify with whether we are emaciated, skinny, slightly over weight or just plain FAT!!

Her response to the snide comments on her site was:

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.
