“I didn’t have to work out before 35 but now I have to so it’s treadmill, bikram yoga, watching what I eat and of course great sex.

Lots of great sex!”

… says Jenny, who revealed in the past that she maintains a weight of 125 pounds at 5’6” / 57 kg at 168 cm.

Hairspray and Huge star Nikki Blonsky recently opened up about one of her professional experiences and what it meant in the body-focused Hollywood world.

“I’ve recently had an experience, where I’ve been given a complete ray of light, and I have a film coming out called Waiting for Forever. When I auditioned for it, it was a role written for a young married mom, and I auditioned for it and they gave it to me. It wasn’t a role written for a plus sized girl. I was like wow! I got a role that wasn’t for a plus sized girl.

“These men who directed and produced the film gave me that hope. For a while I was like will I always be the cute sidekick? But these men showed me that I can do whatever I want in film. It’s up to the studios, the people, and the directors.

“If there was a movie that I had to lose 80 lbs to do, I would absolutely lose those 80 lbs but that’s just because I love my job. I love what I do. I think it’s up to me and it’s up to everybody else out there in Hollywood to not be afraid of hiring plus-sized girls, we don’t bite. I can do everything skinny girls can do, trust me.

I honestly think Hollywood is getting real. They’re saying ‘hey this is what a lot of America looks like,’ a lot of America doesn’t wear a size 2. I think the studios and the media are starting to realize that overweight people want something they can relate to, so let’s give it to them.”

… says Nikki.

Even though we’ve just had an update on Crystal Renn yesterday (check out the post in case you missed it!), I thought that you guys will find this particular video interview interesting. Here are some of the things Crystal reveals:

‘I think that by placing a title on my head – which is plus size – and the picture that people have placed in their mind about what plus size is – I’ll basically fail you just with that. Because I couldn’t possibly live up to that. And at this point in my life, I would actually have to have another eating disorder to live up to that expectation. I had anorexia because ultimately, someone else set the standard for me and I wanted to follow it.’

Watch the video, then share your thoughts – but be patient, as Crystal talks about her model accomplishements in the first half and about body image in the second.

Katy Perry is featured in Elle magazine this month, photoshopped on the cover and open about her weight:

On her much talked about figure: “I was shaped like a square at one time. I was! I’m generally around 130 pounds, which is totally fine for me. But when I was a kid, I was the same height and weighed more like 145. And I had enormous boobs that I didn’t know what to do with, so I wore minimizers, which were not cute. Those thick-ass straps! I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder…and all I wanted was to look like Kate Moss. Little did I know…that these things would come in handy someday.”

… says Katy (who is around 5’7” or 5’8” / 59 kg at 170-172 cm).

“In a normal job, if you gain or lose a few pounds, it’s no big deal. But in my business you have to tell someone so that the next time you go to a fitting, the clothes are the right size. It’s really embarrassing to have to say to your manager, “I’m now a 6 pant instead of a 4.” Emails go out, and they cc the agents: “Jenna would like everyone to know that she’s now a 6 pant.” This is why actresses obsess about their weight. It’s not a private affair.“

… says Jenna in Redbook Magazine.
