I hope I’m not alone in loving Amanda Peet. She’s been one of my girl crushes for years, solidified by her overlooked performance in the now tragically cancelled television show Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip. She and Bradley Whitford had so much chemistry together! I was looking forward to seeing where they’re relationship was going.
Despite my laments, Peet has never really broken into Hollywood in a big way. I still have hopes that someone will see the light and hire her for the role of Stephanie Plum, based on the book-to-screen adaptations of Janet Evanovich’s books. Amanda would be an excellent Stephanie - she looks the part exactly. But instead she’s stuck playing “the girl” in a big ugly disaster movie, 2012. Which is what she’s promoting with this Self Magazine cover story:
Amanda Peet is currently starring in a blockbuster movie (2010), has a talented husband (screenwriter David Benioff), an adorable daughter, and looks that land her on the cover of magazines.
So what more could she want?
“I want boobs, a gentle six-pack and a perky butt,” the actress, 37, tells the December issue of Self.
In fact, she even has a specific woman’s figure in mind. “If I could choose an ideal body, I’d take Gisele Bündchen’s,” says Peet. “I challenge anyone to say she wouldn’t want Gisele’s body, deep down.”
She then adds, “Actually, I’d take a number of people’s bodies. I’d take Jennifer Aniston’s, too.”
Still, when it comes to her keeping herself in shape, Peet doesn’t obsess. “To me staying healthy means doing everything in moderation,” she tells the magazine. “Eat a lot of greens, but in moderation. Exercise, but in moderation. Drink wine, but in moderation. Sleep as much as you can. And have people around you who are very funny.”
Peet gets plenty of laughs during date nights with Benioff. Typically, the pair stay home, order in food, and watch TV shows including South Park, Seinfeld, and The New Adventures of Old Christine.
“I’m obsessed with Julia Louis-Dreyfus,” she admits. “If she knew how much she was in my household late at night or in the wee hours of the morning, she might be disturbed! David and I both have a crush on her.”

I’d take Gisele’s body too - she has the kind of figure where you know most of it is genetic. My only qualm about Jennifer’s body (not referencing that Megan Fox movie) is that Jennifer seems to really have to work at it through lots of exercise and the neverending Zone diet. Gisele looks like she still eats hot dogs and corn chips.
Amanda also discussed parenting her gorgeous, adorable daughter Frankie, saying: “‘You have to put your oxygen mask before you put on others’. It’s a good metaphor for parenting, but it’s really hard to do sometimes. A lot of women feel that if they’re exerting energy in different areas of their life or are really passionate about other things, it’s automatically detrimental to the child.” Janet Evanovich, find this woman and make her play Stephanie Plum already!

I am aware of the fact that she doesn’t show much in these photos and that she’s Photoshopped, but I still think that Amanda Peet’s body is FAR nicer and better proportioned than the two women she praises.
Aniston has a manly, chunky body and Bündchen looks like a male swimmer with A cups. By the way, both women are as flat as a pancake in the derrière, so I don’t see where Amanda sees the “perky butt” in either of them.
With that said, I also enjoy Amanda’s acting quite a lot and I agree, she should be more successful.

She was great on Studio 60, I’m still bummed it never took off.
I’ve liked her in a couple of movies. Sometimes I think she’s really pretty, but I think she looks better on film than in still photos.
Totally agree that Aniston works for her figure and Gisele probably eats whatever she wants. Bitch.
-
LOVE Amanda Peet!! She was so cute in The Whole Nine Yards!!! I would like to see more of her…
-
“I want boobs, a gentle six-pack and a perky butt,” Don’t we all?
Anyway, i loved her in saving silverman. she was really funny!
-
I agree she would be the greatest Stephanie Plum ever! I used to think that Sandra Bullock would be, but she had gotten to old to play the part now, but Amanda would be great!!!
-
this is just a level of insanity to me… there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with her body… for her to want someone else’s just reaks of immaturity and/or retardation to me…

@ Pont
Body types, just as beauty, are obviously subjective. Some girls don’t want soft bodies and do desire to be toned and a bit muscular.
And Gisele has a butt…I’m not sure what you mean by “pancake.” It’s not a Kardashian or Amber Rose butt, but she still has one. A fantastic one at that.
See? Subjective.Also, I was hoping a picture would be shown of Amanda Peet’s baby. One of the cutest I’ve ever seen.

Here you go - Amanda’s behbeh:

Um, PONT NEUF, you are smoking crack if you think that Jen Aniston has a ” manly, chunky body.”
-
What’s with the ditto dress?
-
Thanks, Kaiser!!
SO cute. -
loooove amanda peet!! totally agree she would make a perfect stephanie plum!
-
at least she just wants their bodies because Aniston and Bundchen are the definition of BUTTERFACE.
-
Bundchen’s body is not all that , she is not that Curvy, If I had to takes a models body it would be Adriana Limas or Doutzen Kroes ,from actress Monica Belluci , Asia Argento and Eva Mendez
-
If I was her, I’d be wishing for an attractive face. She’s got one of the ugliest, most manly faces in Hollywood. Those caterpillar eyebrows aren’t helping, either. Gross, ugly chick.
-
Love Amanda Peet, loved Studio 60. Amanda’s one of the cutest girls around & doesn’t rub it in your face. I think if she really wanted to be in more shows she would be.
-
I’ve thought she was great ever since the show Jack and Jill, which is when I TOTALLY fell in love with her co-star, Ivan Sergei. YUM. (Pardon me while I wipe the drool from my keyboard.)
And yes, I think she’d be a great Stephanie Plum, although I picture Stephanie being a little louder and more boisterous than Amanda. But, you know, she’s an actress — I’m guessing she could pull it off!
-
Amanda looks so 70’s in all these shots. She could do with better styling. I’d kill for Gisele’s body. Just to be that tall would be so fun!
-
I would find it refreshing if a woman in Hollywood was happy with the way she looked.
-
she llok lke maria shriver
-
Gisele looks like a 12 year old boy with breast implants. Very flat and tall as a giraffe. Not feminine or gracious. I don’t get why someone would want Bundchen’s body at all.
Now, Monica Bellucci…she has a body to die for. With curves, breasts and a good butt, even after hitting her 40s. A real woman, not an giant blonde stick. -
I wouldn’t want Gisele’s body either. I would HATE to be so tall, and I just don’t find her shape to be all that spectacular. I am shorter (I love being 5′2) and built more solid with muscle, and I am perfectly happy with myself, so Amanda Peet, here’s one woman who doesn’t want to be like Gisele or anyone else! I like being me
-
How can anyone nt want giselle’s and jen’s bodies?? As for you haters who a complaining about how jen has to work for her figure, i am guessing you tried and failed.
-
smart girl, two of the hottest bods in hollywood.
-
“anniston has a manly chucky bod” You are nuts, you must be a loon so full of hate you can not see the truth. Obviously if you think Anniston has a flat pancake ass, what a joke. At least try to make your points believable.
Pont nuef??? -
Come on, people. Jen and Gisele? Love them *-* My brazillian princess and my Little Jen.
And Amanda is in a great shape. I want HER body. -
Their figures are so different — Giselle is long and leggy, Jennifer is petite and curvy. But their look is similar — blonde, tanned, casual.

Gisele is very tall so a lot of it probably is genetic but she is a model and not 16 and probably doesn’t do endless lines of coke and smoke packs of cigarettes so there is no way in hell that I believe of one second that she eats hot dogs and corn chips and doesn’t work out a couple hours a day…girlfriend has to keep it tight.
