Skinny VS Curvy

28 year-old country music singer Miranda Lambert opened up in Self Magazine about her weight, saying that she likes her size 8 figure and that she’d encourage really skinny women to eat:

On not wanting to be too thin:
“I don’t care about being stick-thin. I don’t want stuff to jiggle. Really skinny actresses make me hungry—I see them and think, Honey, you need to eat! I’m lucky I don’t have to live like that. I feel my best when I’m a toned, not flabby, size 8. Women come up to me and say, ‘You’re beautiful and confident, and that makes me feel I can be, too.’ I won’t give up what I enjoy to look perfect. I want to find a happy medium between feeling good about my body and still having a beer and some barbecue.”

On hating exercise:
“I absolutely hate exercise. I love it afterward, of course. But my trainer is so nice, I want to do push-ups to please him!”

Hot mom Jessica Alba (31) recently opened up to iVillage about feeling sexy post-babies, her weight and body image – let’s see what she says:

It’s really amazing how your perspective shifts and your definition of sexy evolves once you become a mother. Before having Honor and Haven, I was super-critical of my looks and worried more about inevitable changes to my body. I couldn’t even say the word “sexy” to describe myself without feeling funny and awkward.

But becoming a mom has definitely made me feel more confident and secure than I ever did in my 20s. Even though I can’t ever get down to my pre-baby weight before having Honor, my jeans don’t zip up the same way, and things just hang differently (all moms know how that goes!), I feel completely comfortable in my skin and my idea of perfection has changed. I don’t really care about my body image anymore because it just doesn’t matter now that I have children. Instead, I focus on my health, feeling strong, and making sure I’m up and running so I can spend that all-important time with the girls.

Having babies also helped me embrace my sexuality. Up until then, I was quite shy about it. But once I experienced how incredible and amazing it was to create a life, it was empowering. Now, I feel freer to express myself and just be me. Through motherhood I really came into my own and, for me, feeling sexy is all about this type of comfort, confidence, and true happiness.

… says Jessica.

On the possibility of getting further breast enhancement procedures:
“I have. When you breast-fed four children, things kind of change. So that’s probably the most likely thing on the radar. I went through a phase where I wanted to have smaller breasts. Sometimes it’s easier in dresses and gowns.”

On how she maintains her fit figure:
“I spend as little time as I possibly can to get the best results – five days a week if I’m lucky, or a minimum of three. I’ll do my own DVD. It’s a 55 minute body sculpting workout that’s old-school moves – squats, side lunges, dips, kicks – that we made more dynamic. You use multiple body parts and move at a pace where you also get cardio benefits. I go to a Pilates Plus class once or twice a week. Today I went to the gym and did 20 minutes of cardio. That’s all the time I had.”

On  turning 40:
“Forty is better than 30. I have a better understanding of who I am, what makes me tick, what’s okay and not okay. I’ve had such a great experience professionally in the last three or four years that it really opened my eyes to not procrastinating.”

I never wanted to be a sex symbol I wanted to be a character actor. Those are the actors I mostly admire. I think women that are curvy can be pigeonholed in that bombshell thing. It’s not like I actively look for sexy roles. It’s not a requirement that my character be pretty and delicate. I never think about my character being sexy, unless that’s written in.

… says Scarlett in The Independent.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has been getting in shape recently and it seems that her newly found confidence came along with new dreams:

I want to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel so bad. Just for the day. Look I want to wear the wings. I already wear the lingerie for a living now, so I’m working out and I’m ready. I just want to be on the cover of the catalog. I think it would be really nice of them, so thanks.

… said Jennifer during an interview on The Wendy Williams show.
