Jennifer Lopez Wants Models to Eat

April 06, 2007


Dont expect superstar Jennifer Lopez to jump on the Hollywood "eat air" diet. The sexy Latina says that she is a size six and has been once for the past decade. In a interview with British Elle Jenny reveals, "I couldn't ever be a size zero. I just don't see how I could get down to that size and still be healthy.

She continued, "It wouldn't work. I have a butt, I have boobs and I have a woman's curves; there is no way I'd see them go to zero. I hate to look in a magazine and see a picture of a girl who looks so thin she looks unhappy and as if she just needs someone to give her a good meal." Lopez should preach to her bff Posh.

Lopez went on to attack models revealing, "There are girls out there who are naturally thin and who look great, but it's got to the point where models are dropping dead on catwalks because it's all about being thin. It's insane." In recent months, several models have died from anorexia, including Brazil's Ana Carolina Reston, 21, who died in November.

It’s good to see someone going against the pressures of "stick town" and really being herself. It’s especially great for those who do suffer from anorexia to realize that "thin" is not necessarily "in"!

Cherokee Nation has our share of links to the Islands, and around our Nation, including Latinas. We admire Jen. The Caribe Indians had links to the Yamassee (Benyamin)and Cumbahee Indians (Combs) and Coosa, and Tiano or Tino, Bands and parts of Cherokee Nation then and now. www.redbirdband.com Nov. 2007

I DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SIZE SHE IS! 6 OR 10 OR 16...PEOPLE SHOULD NOT CARE ABOUT SIZES...SOMEONE CAN BE A SIZE 0 AND A 2 DEPENDING ON WHO DESIGNED THE JEANS!!! WHAT MATTERS IS THAT THE PERSON IS HEALTHY. AND JLO DOES LOOK GOOD, SHE ALWAYS HAS, I DON'T THINK SHE WOULD LIKE TO BE A SIZE 0 EVEN IF SHE COULD BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN LOOKING LIKE A THIN SICK MEN NOT A BEAUTFUL WOMAN, WOMEN HAVE CURVES!!! SINCE WHEN THEY DISAPPEARED I DON'T KNOW, MOST GIRLS NOW A DAYS LOOK LIKE WALKING SKELETONS..............!

JLO could be a size 16, but I still love her. A true Latina, she has curves in all the right places and she is beautiful. Size 6? maybe not, but at least she's not killing herself to conform to what "society" deems to be beautiful - bones with skin. Look at Nicole Ritchie, the Olsen twins, etc. These are wealthy, single young women who are too sick to see the damage they are doing to their bodies. I AM A SIZE 12,(I tried for years to stay at a size 6), I finally figured out that at my natural weight I have never felt better! I may not have JLO'S looks, but I HAVE MY CURVES! YOU GO GIRL!!

I think J-lo is so beautiful even if she is a size 10 or 12. And I'm glad she is speaking out.

It is ironic that skinny supermodel "alessandra ambrosio" is in the ad directly to the right of this story.

I don't think she is a 6 either (except for maybe in vanity sizing) but you know, who really cares? The point is she really is a beautiful woman, and she isn't saying that everyone needs to look like HER, but that she basically is what she is! She is also not putting down those that are naturally thin, she is simply saying that if that is not what YOU are, it is not healthy to try to achieve that. Some people will not like the way she looks, but then not all guys like super skinny either. Good for her in spaeking out.

Size 6 is small but not that small .... skinniness is obviously messing with people's minds if any of you think a 6 is small or tiny. J-lo is thick but she looks a 6.

I don't believe she is a size 6 either, but if she is here's a newsflash...SIZE 6 IS SMALL. I am naturally a size 0/2 and even I wouldn't kid myself in to thinking 6 is big. She's just one more celebrity perpetuating the body image crisis.

yes, she is much bigger than a size 6. There is no way she is a 6. I worked as an assistant costume designer on one of her movies & she is a size 10-12. 10 on a good day & 12 on a PMS day.

There is NO WAY that J-Lo is a size 6....give me a freeakin break. What a liar! I have seen her many times in person & she is either a big 10 or a 12. Size 6....! ROF!!! LOL!!! maybe her husband is a size 6!

too bad the truth is that most women aren't a size six either. even a six isn't realistic for most women, and i mean those that are healthy, and workout. most of us maintain a size 8/9/10. she won't be sporting that six after she has kids, i'll tell you that much....

"Anon" I have to disagree with you. Yes people want to be healthy/fit/slim....And J.Lo is all of the above. She is definitely not fat.

All girls say that "they need to eat, she's too skinny, blah blah". But, in reality ALL girls want to be skinny. They just want to pretend to themselves they don't because they're fat..so they say that.

she just wants them to eat so that she's not the 'fat one' in Hollywood.
