In December, I blogged about how Jennifer Love-Hewitt stood up to the tabloids, who took some unflattering pictures of her swimming with her boyfriend.
A size 6, JLH came out hard, telling the tabs she was proud of her body, and to basically suck it. She said they wouldn't get to her.
Healthy women everywhere rejoiced, and supported JLH in her fight against the evil tabs.
Well, JLH lied.
In one of the latest issues of US Weekly, JLH showed off her new, slimmed-down body (did I mention she's was a size 6 - what is she trying to lose?!?! Bones?)
In the story, JLH says she lost the weight "for her," and not because of the storm over her unflattering photos.
Yeah, right.
I'm guessing pressure to be thin in show business is a real. . . well, you know, and that JLH slimmed down after very public criticism of her body and weight.
I can understand pressure, but women everywhere no only supported her, but cheered on her comments.
Now, for her to show off her , "hew and improved' body". . . seems like a slap in the face to those of us who have real bodies and love them.
Maybe she didn't love herself, and felt like she had to change to fit in.
Perhaps she was just trying to get healthy.
However, in light of the whole photo scandal, I'm not buying it.
