Jennifer Love Hewitt and her new fiance Ross McCall were trying to enjoy their engagement vacation in Maui, but unfortunately their trip was slightly tarnished due to some nasty online stories about the actress. Jennifer released a statement in defense of her body, and we asked what you thought of her reaction. The majority of you were proud she spoke up. For the most part, these two are enjoying their break, and since production on Jennifer's show, The Ghost Whisperer, has shut down indefinitely due to the writers' strike, they can enjoy a long and relaxing vacation to celebrate their newly engaged excitement.

1I like her she seems normal and not a mediawh0re like others.
2it comes with the territory. she's a celeb and she has been for a long time, so she should know how mean tabloids can be. she's been used to being praised for her pretty face and thin figure, but now the tables have turned and it must feel like hell :[ pooor her. think how bad it is for even more popular celebs like britney who get trashed constantly...
3I think she's great!
4I guess Im "proud" of her for speaking up. I just wish she actually meant what she said. You cant tell people you dont care what they think of your body, and tell young girls that they should be comfortable with themselves, and then the next day go out on the beach wrapped up in a towel. Its a bit hyporcritical. If she really meant what she said she would have kept on splashing around in her bikini.
5I'd put on a towel too if people were following me around with cameras only to call me fat. She has no reason to cover up - I think she has a way better body than half the people I see on the beach letting it all hang out.
6Oh well - if she was doing this for attention - it worked!
I think its great that she spoke up but I just find it funny how now shes all covering herself up. It could be coincidence but Im sure its hard to feel completly confident in yourself when people are scrutinizing your appearance. I think she should walk proud for being a normal woman.
7I feel sorry for her.
8DeaconP- I would would to. Im just sayin she shouldnt sit there and tell everyone how confident she is, and how she loves her body and doesnt care if she has a big butt. She should tell girls "put on your bikinis and be proud" if the next day she is going to walk around all covered it. What kind of message does THAT send to all those girls that she was just telling to be proud of their curves?
9I can't imagine how it would feel to have cameras following you around with your swimsuit on. I feel paranoid enough already in my swimsuit. Sometimes I actually feel good though and then of course, the paparazzi would then decide to take pics and make fun of me if I was famous. How horrible. I think it is wonderful she is engaged and she is a normal woman. How many of us actually look like Jessica Alba in our swimsuits? Not very many.
10Regardless of the terrible criticism she's received from the media, she looks fantastic here. Gah, I can't believe she has to go through all of this on her engagement vacation
11Well, isn't their engagement trip still being tarnished by all celeb sites still posting new paparazzi pics? Popsugar included?
Seriously, the poor woman is now wrapped up in a towel and you're still putting her pictures up. I think the one story yesterday was enough, no need to keep staying on vacation with them.
Just my opinion...I am just putting myself in their position and wouldn't like it. Would you?
12What exactly has been said concerning her body?
13i thought we're done with this 'bad angle' hoopla yesterday, no? she's celebrating her engagement, let her be happy
by the way, congrats JLove!
14Well, I'm very sorry that negative comments in the media have affected her so. But, on her site she states that she is a proud size 2. So, while I don't want her to feel badly about her body I have to disagree with the size 2 comment on her site. There is nothing wrong with being a size 8 or 10 or 12! Just be healthy and if you are healthy at size 10, be happy at size 10.
15yeah if she's so "proud" of her body, why has she been covering up in all of the latest pictures??????
16I'm not the biggest fan of hers, really. But I'm glad that Popsugar can't be lumped into the category of online blogs that apparently trashed her body. I love your integrity, ladies.
17Well, the guy's board shorts look wet, so its kind of a wild guess, but I thinking she has a towel on because she just got out of the water! Call me nuts, but thats what I'm going with. I don't think this photo makes her previous statements hypocritical at all!
18C'mon, the girl is human, I'd cover up after all of this too. She doesn't have to be a martyr for the cause.
She has very skinny shoulders.
19Quit hatin on her. She's happy (except for the critiques on something that does not matter). Leave her in peace. If she lost 20 lbs. you'd be telling her to eat a sandwich. The thing is, no matter what she looks like, if you're petty, you'll aways be petty. Too bad there's not a mirror for that.
20I don't understand why people believe celebs have to continue performing for us in their personal lives. The only reason we see so many pictures of them is because of the advent of celeb blogs other than that we wouldn't know much about their daily lives.
I kept reading on the other board that she deserves the criticism because she's a celeb and she makes her living using her body so this is what she gets, but I disagree. She's not selling a damn thing to me on her vacation. What we are looking at IMO is her time off which she has a right to and if she wants to gain weight, whatever, in her personal life she can. I really don't have a right to intrude IMO. It'd be a different story if she was modeling in some ad and got the same scrutiny, the way Britney Spears did when she was performing. Britney should have been in better shape, she was on stage, selling a show.
I just don't think some people get that being a celeb is a job and outside of that these stars are real people with real lives that have nothing to do with us.
21I like her, she seems really nice.
I feel really uncomfortable looking at these pictures, its like I'm looking at her when she doesn't want to be looked at. It's like I'm invading her privacy.
22Interesting point, epicurean_Essy.
23I feel bad too now. Haha. Sorry Jen.
She's probably covering up because MOST people do after they're done in the water.
24I agree with the rest ; it is a bit hypocritical. I would have thought that if she wanted curvy girls to show them off, she would continue to do so. Otherwise, why make the statement?
She's not even FAT. She looks healthy!
25The part of her comment that I don't like is when she said "A size 2 is not fat!"
is not
fat" but a size 2? Come on. I'll probably never be a size 2, and she certainly is not a size 2, either. She should own up to whatever size that she is if she is going to be blogging about the
subject.
26Give me a break. That statement would have made sense if she had said "A size 6 (or
and I should add that I never want to be a size 2 - it would look very odd on me! I am happy with my size because I am healthy
27Agreed, with the others who noted she deserves privacy when not performing.
She's probably covering up because photogs are there with the intent to take the most unflattering picture. Even the most perfect person can take an ugly photo with the right angle and lighting.
But, she shouldn't worry though, every guy I know thinks she is incredibly hot and her fan base was never the bitter slags who always complained she was ugly.
28Yeah she's a total hypocrite for wearing a towel after coming out of the pool. Whatever.
You know what's crazy, it's not like her man is sportin' a six pack. He looks like an average guy at the pool and she looks like an average girl to me, but she's the only one who gets called fat.
29She is pretty and looks fantastic!
30wow when i first saw these pics i thought it was jennifer garner
31I love her SO much! She's my favorite person in the world and I hate that people are picking on her so much. WHY? She's gorgeous, she's happy, she's rich, she's famous, and she's got a wonderful body. Be jealous! Go ahead! I sure am! She's a normal human being - get over it!
32Allourregrets - I agree with you, its hard for people to listen to her advice and appreciate their bodies if she isn't doing the same.
33btw - i am in love with your picture of britney. i actually laughed out loud!
ha..Im surprised you could actually make sense of what I said. lol. I just reread my comment and I type like im stoned or something (im not, btw) I started laughing when I saw that picture of brit, too. She makes it so easy, doesnt she?
34everyone take a chill pill and get over yourself.
35i think she looks fine and all of the hating needs to stop.
I also feel like, to play devils advocate, there are more private places a celebrity can go and if a celebrity wants to be left alone, there are definitely ways. so many celebs complain, yet the next day you see them at kitson where they KNOW the paps will be. there are plenty of celebs more famous than JLH probably on vacation as we speak. I can recall atleast 2 or 3 times in recent history where JLH has been shopping on robertson blvd or whatever that street is where the paps always are. so i feel like she is asking for it.
36Throw away that towel, girl...u have a rocking body that most of us would love to show to the world if we'd have it....and even if we don't have the hottest body of all, WTF?! U look great!
37don't think she's a size 2 but whatever... i think she looks great regardless.
38she's not a size 2. I hate it when famous people think we the public are so gullible that we will believe anything they say. They make millions off of us and they they insult our intelligence. She's wider than her boyfriend for pete's sake. Can her boyfriend fit into a size 2? I think not. Her mother is/was a very large woman years ago and so are several women in her family (very bottom heavy). It's hereditary for her body to start spreading. If she's this sensitive about what people are saying about her gaining some weight, she obviously doesn't have the skin for hollywood because she needs to get a little thicker skin if she still wants this to be her career. I would hate to see how she's gonna act if and when she gets pregnant. I think it was totally absurd for her to make a statement about this, it's obvious that she's trying to keep people interested in her when she's totally lost most of her appeal.
39J Love is grogeous...come on now...
40she's pretty!
41You know when I get out of a pool, I tend to put on a towel to. Her mans shorts do look wet. I think she looks great I hope she gets to enjoy the rest of her vacation.
42Great, she's happy.... yada yada... but didn't we just discuss this a couple of stories ago? This is more JLH news than I've read in the past year. I'm at capacity.
43She's a hypocrite because she makes it sound like there shouldn't be a focus on women's bodies, but back when everyone was only commenting on her big boobs, she never had a problem with it. In fact, it seemed like she welcomed the comments, and seemed to be proud of her body. If she worked out, and maintained a healthy diet, she could still look the way she used to. She has let herself go, and instead of using the comments as motivation to get herself back in shape, she goes on her blog to defend her body as though we really believe she wants to look like that, and that she's happy with her current body. Yeah, whatever. And by the way, it's possible she's a size 2 because clothing companies are constantly changing their sizes, and now with the size double zero, a size 2 is actually like a size 6 was years ago. All of you that think you're still the same size that you were in high school- you're not. The stores just keep changing the sizes to fool you into buying clothes.
44I like her.
She should have take the towel off.
45I can't believe the 'JLH is a hypocrite' comments. What do *you* do when you get out of the water? That's right, dry off with a towel, which is what I assumed she was doing here when I first saw these pictures.
They're snapshots of one moment. It doesn't mean she spent the whole day covered up in a towel.
46she's 2 cute! she looks really good in a bathing suit...ppl r soo mean!
47Hearing a lot about Jennifer Love Hewitt lately..it's kinda weird!
48People really need to leave her alone. I admit that when I first saw the photos I was shocked. We're so used to seeing celebrities that have unnatural bodies due to airbrushing, working with a personal trainer for 15 hours a week, etc. She might have more butt and hips than other celebrities, but I do believe that it's possible that she's still a small clothing size. I've seen her in person, and although it was about five years ago, I doubt her body has changed that dramatically(or else we'd know all about it like Kirstie Alley, Nicole Richie, or Star Jones, so I think that's safe to assume), and she was VERY small.
Please stop saying nasty things about her.
49Awww poor girl! That really sucks, I think it's great she stuck up for herself!
