Jennifer Love Hewitt engaged

Jennifer Love Hewitt, 28, and her boyfriend of nearly two years, Scottish actor Ross McCall, 32, got engaged last week, according to several sources. The two are vacationing in Hawaii, where Jennifer has gotten a ton of unflattering press in just about every entertainment magazine and blog out there. The curvaceous actress may have put on a little weight lately – and apparently everyone needs to call her out and criticize her for it. To me she just looks normal – she’s never been one of those stick-thin Hollywood types, and I congratulate her for it.

She was the inspiration behind former boyfriend John Mayer’s hit ‘Your Body Is A Wonderland,’ but not even a famous muse like Jennifer Love Hewitt can escape a little weight gain. A combination of harsh sunlight and a skimpy bikini left the newly buxom star with nowhere to hide as she hit the beach for a swim during a Hawaiian getaway.

The star’s curvy, cellulite-riddled physique was in stark contrast to the slender – and airbrushed – frame she showed off during a recent advertising campaign for US label Hanes. Still, the star of I Know What You Did Last Summer, who was enjoying a romantic break with boyfriend Ross McCall, says she happily embraces her imperfections.

In a cheeky nod to Mayer’s hit, Jennifer recently joked: “My body is far from a wonderland. My body is more like a pawnshop. There’s a lot of interesting things put together, and if you look closely you’d probably be excited, but at first glance, not so much.”

Well if nothing else it sounds like Jennifer probably won’t care about all the negative things being said about her physique right now. Frankly we have such a ridiculous idea of what women should look like. We can’t walk around air-brushed in real life, and it puts a ridiculous pressure on everyone by saying “this is the norm.” Jennifer just had some ads come out for Hanes in which she’s been airbrushed to into oblivion. I don’t just mean her shape, but they’ve done so much to her face that she just looks like some generic computer-generated model instead of a real person.

While I’m not promoting an unhealthy lifestyle, it’s important to find a happy – and healthy – middle ground between the unrealistic images Hollywood sends us and the McDonald’s addicted lifestyle a lot of Americans have. I think Jennifer going to the beach to celebrate her engagement and not giving a damn about her cellulite reminds us that there’s more important things on her mind. Congrats!
