So... size 16/18 celebs like Vanessa Feltz and Mica Paris claim to be thinner than they are and size 2 celebs like Anna Friel are proud of their curves If by that, she means she is slightly more rounded than an ironing board, then I agree. But only just.

CURVES MY ARSE. These celebs mix up 'boobs' with 'curves'

'She prefers to be shapely'

pmsl @ "curves".

She goes in a bit at the waist, and has some breasts...

I think she does have hips (not nearly as much as I do, but they are there and curvy) and is noticeably less skinny than the typical Hollywood starlet. And there's a little bit of a droop to her breasts (nothing more than would be expected of a thirtysomething mother, but it's encouraging to see someone accepting that in a non-enhanced, non-pneumatic way and still looking good.

So pbbbbbt. [terribly mature emoticon]

CybilLiberty · 27/07/2009 10:32

Sorry port, I'm not having any of it. If she had said 'I love my droppy just had kids tits' I would applaud her.

But I think it's the dress that adds curves to her otherwise plank of wood frame.

droopy not droppy.

Pah indeed. The woman is a twig.

pointydog · 27/07/2009 10:38

well, she does live in LA, does she not?

It's that bendy simpery leg pose that gets me

CybilLiberty · 27/07/2009 10:40

yes I suppose next to most LA inhabitants she is positively obese

OP posts:
CatIsSleepy · 27/07/2009 10:42

i don't see how she could be much thinner really
curves shmurves

and god yes pd good description re the 'bendy simpery leg' pose...it is bloody annoying....what's that all about? she looks knock-kneed if you ask me.

Katisha · 27/07/2009 10:42

The bendy simpery leg pose and the defensive clutching of the bag leads me to suspect she doesn't feel entirely comfortable in that dress.

Psychomom5 · 27/07/2009 10:45

she just needs a wee

CybilLiberty · 27/07/2009 10:46

It's crafty to get the 'Yes I look curvier than a size zero and I embrace it (even if it isn't true)' comment in before some celeb watch makes the point ' Gasp! Anna Friel puts on weight!'

EldonAve · 27/07/2009 10:51

curves?

Her face looks v scary in the pic of her meeting Charles - hope it's just a bad pic and not bad surgery

cyteen · 27/07/2009 10:52

That dress makes her look ill.

KingRolo · 27/07/2009 10:54

"I don't want to lose any weight as I like having boobs and I'd lose them"

These celebs seem to forget that woman HAVE BOOBS.

They are not a sign of being overweight or fat (or curvy) they are a normal part of the female anatomy FFS.

cornsillk · 27/07/2009 10:56

She needs a bra.

TheCrackFox · 27/07/2009 10:56

I actually think she looks slightly unwell.

Also, she may be proud of her "curves" but she still needs to wear a bra.

southeastastra · 27/07/2009 10:58

wtf is the international cartier polo day and why wasn't i invited!

PortAndLemon · 27/07/2009 11:00

It's quoting an earlier interview, though, I think, in which she was referring to having been asked to lose weight to get roles she was auditioning for. So someone obviously thinks she could be thinner.

Sidge · 27/07/2009 11:13

Curves????!!!

The only curves on her are on her sunglasses.

I think someone has confused 'flashing your tits' with 'having an hourglass figure'...

I would hate to be a sleb. The pressure of looking like a prepubescent girl is immense. God forbid a woman should actually look like one.

TheBolter · 27/07/2009 11:22

I really don't think she looks particularly good in that dress. I don't actually like the dress much tbh, it's the kind of thing I'd have worn to a school prom in the early nineties. As if the Next Directory decided to do a 'risquey' collection . She looks uncomfortable and awkward and there's something very odd looking about her face in a couple of the pics.

Oh, and curves? My arrrrse...

Nancy66 · 27/07/2009 11:23

I hate it equally when

1)very fat
2) thin

women call themselves 'curvy' - does nobody know what a curve is?

Scarlet Johannson IS curvy. Jennifer Lopez is curvy.
