I'm not usually a fan of People magazine but when I'm standing in line at Rite-Aid and everyone in Burlington seems to be standing in line in front of me, I think to myself, why not? An interesting story on the cover dealt with Jennifer Love Hewitts recent weight issues. Photographers caught her on a Hawaiian beach celebrating her recent engagement. "They could not have looked happier, holding hands, kidding around the whole time". But the media had to ruin it all by calling her 'obese' and coming up with the catchy phrase: "We know what you ate last summer, Love - everything!" The company that got the photos of Love in a bikini and invited people from all over the world to comment on their blog. There were a variety of responses, ranging from "It's nice to see normal" to "time to put down that fork". The online comments that drew the most attention came from a very upset Lovet, who showed the world through her online blog, that she was proud of her body and very happy in life. "What I should be doing is celebrating some of the best days of my life and my engagement, instead of having to deal with photographers take invasive pictures from bad angles....Like all women out there should, I love my body". It's a little surprising to see that Hewitt took time out of the "best days of her life" to comment on a photographer's blog. Hmmm.

I think what's even more interesting and sad is how mean people can be, and not just the magazine but people in general. Who cares if she has put on weight, if anything it shows she is human and would make her a better role model in the sense that she probably is at a more "normal body weight. I feel like magazines always say that stars are way too big or way too small. No one can win really. I can't blame Love for responding, I'd be mad too.
