Skinny VS Curvy

A very intersting read! Slightly NOT true, but entertaining. Apparently, Jessica Alba wears size 25 jeans, Tori Spelling is 110 lbs, Kim Kardashian still fits in size 26 jeans, and Jennifer Lopez is 5′8”. Here’s the complete article, full of celebrity pounds & dress sizes!

Mariah Carey – 5′9″

The songstress, 40, has always been famous for her fluctuating waistline. “She was fitting into size 4 dresses last May, just after she married Nick Cannon,” a source tells OK!. “Now, she’s a 6, but sometimes an 8 or 29 in jeans; it always changes.”

Jennifer Aniston – 5′5″

America’s sweetheart has always been fit. “Jen’s never changed from size 26 jeans and a 0/2 dress,” a source tells OK!. Two-hour yoga sessions, 45-minute workouts and a protein-packed diet keep the Baster actress, 40, toned at 110 pounds.

Jessica Alba –  5′7″

Following the June 2008 arrival of little girl Honor Marie, Jess, 28, quickly peeled off the pounds. “She was size 28 in jeans by August; in October, a 26,” a stylist who works with a top denim line tells OK!. “By December, she was her usual size 25, 0/2 dress and 110 pounds.”

Halle Berry – 5”6″

It didn’t take long for Halle, 42, to get back into shape after the March 2008 birth of daughter Nahla. “Before the baby, she wore size 27 jeans,” a source tells OK!. “During the mid to late stages of her pregnancy, she was a 31. Now’s she’s back to a 28 for jeans and a size 4 dress.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt – 5′2″

When the actress, 30, hit a beach last June, she caught flack for her fuller bikini body (“A size 2 is not fat!” she fired back). Indeed, a stylist tells OK! that Jennifer, who works out for 90 minutes, four days a week, has worn size 27 jeans since August.

Kim Kardashian – 5′2″

Despite what you might have read in a recent tabloid, Kim, 28, is anything but plus-sized. In fact, she’s a rather petite dress size 2 to 4, and a 26 or 27 in jeans, her rep confirms to OK!. The 118-pound reality star, who has released a line of fitness DVDs, owes her curves to two-hour daily workouts that include weights and an abs series.

Tori Spelling – 5′5″

Forget the rumors that the 90210 star and mother-of-two, 35, starves herself. Tori, who weighs in at 110 lbs, says she stays slim by exercising with her family. Her rep tells OK! the actress wears size 25 jeans and a 0/2 dress.

Jessica Simpson – 5′2″

She wore size 28 jeans earlier this year, but “now Jess requests size 26,” a celebrity stylist tells OK!. The singer, 28, is currently a size 4 dress and 122 pounds. “She’s bigger up top, but has a teeny waist,” adds the stylist.

Jennifer Lopez – 5′8″ (umm, since when?)

Following the birth of twins Max and Emme in February 2008, J.Lo, 39, slimmed down with the help of trainer Gunnar Peterson, who designed her daily cardio/strength-training regime. Now, “she’s a solid 28 in jeans,” a source tells OK!.

Brooke Shields – 5′11″

The 43-year-old mother of two was a size 28 while filming her NBC TV series, Lipstick Jungle, her friend tells OK!. Now that the show’s been canceled, Brooke’s eased up on her diet. “She’s a size 29,” a source tells OK!.

Eva Longoria Parker – 5′1″

Though she packed on pounds last year for Desperate Housewives, Eva, 34, said she never went up a size. A source says, “She actually did go up to 25 in jeans, but she’s back to her normal size 24, 0 dress, 98 pounds.”

Definitely debatable! Let’s hear your thoughts!

What? Am I seeing right?

Yes, I think I am.

Big News, Everyone: They didn’t go overboard with the photoshopping on this one! And by that, I mean that she looks like herself – isn’t it slightly ridiculous that I’m thrilled to see a woman that looks… not plastic for once?

The interview that accompanies the pictures is fun! Here’s what she says:

“I’ve become insufferable, tormenting my friends, saying, ‘Do you know I have a banging bikini bod?’ That should be my new name: Banging Bikini Bod Griffin,” she jokes to OK!.

She recently showed off her slim figure during an outing with Paris Hilton (see after the jump!). “A lot more guys were looking at me than Paris,” says Kathy, who, at 5 feet, 3 inches, weighs a svelte 118 pounds. “Granted, they were gay, but they were checking out my hot ass!”

Don’t stare too hard though, fellas – Kathy says she’s not just another pretty face.  

“I am more than a golden, tanned sexpot. I am a woman, damn it, with thoughts and feelings!” she tells OK!.

The reality star also claims her curves are au natural, telling OK! she hasn’t had any work done recently. 

“Not since 2003 when I had a face-lift,” she explains. “My breasts are very real and very floppy. Why have surgery when you could just get a good freaking bra?”

There’s more!

P.S.: Forgot to mention: she looks great!

The Sun reports:

I think most folk will agree SCARLETT JOHANSSON’s curvy figure is a winner. So it comes as a disappointment to learn the bubbly blonde’s famous assets may disappear after being put on a strict diet by GWYNETH PALTROW.

The actress has reportedly lost over 14lbs since she began working out with her Iron Man 2 co-star in preparation for the movie. A source told Star magazine: “The pair have been doing daily workouts with Gwyneth’s personal trainer TRACY ANDERSON.

“Scarlett is also staying away from carbohydrates.” The 24-year-old actress decided to diet, reportedly fearing she could lose out on the roles she wants to younger, more attractive actresses.

A friend said: “Scarlett has always been happy with her curves, but recently she has been feeling pressure to lose a few pounds. She knows that she is up against tough competition from younger, prettier and increasingly skinner actresses.”

Scarlett previously insisted she loved her fuller figure and felt no pressure to diet. She said: “I don’t need to be skinny to be sexy.”

Maybe Scarlett has lost 14 pounds, but not in the last months – like in the past 2 years or so (even though she didn’t need to!). What do you all say?

Age: 48

Height: 5′4”

Weight: 132 lbs (once 172 lbs, lost 40 lbs in 9 months with Jenny Craig)

And an interesting part of the interview:

And so – after about a year of exercising on her own while losing weight, primarily by walking 10,000 steps a day – she hired a personal trainer in December. Before long she was running up to five times a week. During what she calls the bikini “homestretch” – the last three weeks – she trimmed her daily caloric intake from 1,700 to around 1,200, and gave up her regular “splurge” glass of champagne. “It was crunch time,” she says, “like getting ready for your class reunion!”

The result? Bertinelli says she is now in the best shape of her life. “I never, ever, ever had deltoids!” she says. “Oh my God, when I’m doing exercises and I see them pop out, I’m like, Yes!”

Furthermore, People Magazine’s Galina Espinoza tells Extra that the cover pic is not deceiving, but admits to minimal airbrushing.

Just earlier today we admired a skinny girl in a bikini, namely supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio. Now it’s curvy girl’s time! And what curvy girl can do a better job in a bikini than Kim Kardashian, who was kind enough to post all these pics on her blog for our delight.

I’ve been recently asked to re-post Kim’s measurements – well, according to the same source (Kim’s personal blog) her voluptuous figure measures:

Height: 5′2” and 1/2 (157 cm)

Weight: 117 lbs. (53 kg)

Jeans size: 27

Bust: 34 (86 cm)

Waist: 26 (66 cm)

Hips: 39 (99 cm)

Lots of pics after the jump! Enjoy!
