Jennifer you look fab, and if your happy why worry. Put the shoe on the other foot and take photos of the over paid slimeballs that follow you around, put it in the papers and slag them off. I bet they wouldn't like it.

- Gus, Edinburgh, Scotland

I think she looks like she belongs on the biggest loser and should go on a diet. Doesn't look like she's the Ghost Whisperer, more like the Big Mac Whisperer!

- Shane Edwards, Townsville

I think she looks pretty and cute!

- Christine, New York City, NY

I think she looks great! All bodies are different. Not all are rail thin and don't need to be! She is definitely not fat. The world has become confused with what is thin and what is considered "fat".

- Lisa, Willis, TX

I love it. I think she looks great and healthy. We were meant to have curves not bones. These ultra skinny models and celebs that are rediculously thin and can't keep a pair of pants hung on their hip bones. I hope more celebs put on a few pounds and reclaim their curves! Size 0 is not normal!

Also, if they had more fat on their bodies then they wouldn't need the breast implants... they would have their own!

- Coree, Peoria, IL

Only the ignorant would call Jennifer fat. Surely nobody expects her to have the body she did on Party of Five, when she was eighteen? She's a woman now and most real women get fleshier as they age. She's happy and in love. Jennifer is guilty of nothing more than wearing an unflattering bathing suit.

- Elizabeth, Melbourne, Australia

Lookin' good, Jen! For some reason when I looked at those pics I wondered if she's ticklish. For real.

- Malcolm, Crackima, WA

She looks very happy and I am glad she fought back with the comments she did. Love-Hewitt has actually turned into a mature, good actress, with a hit show and she deserves to look anyway she wants. For once, somebody looks normal in a bikini and is proud of it.

- Leann, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I don't see any fat on this woman. I'm a massage therapist and I've worked on a few famous female celebrities. It's been very validating for me over the years to see a little blubber on all of them. That's what a healthy woman's body is supposed to look like. If print media voluntarily banned digital photo editing on celebrity photos for a few months, the truth would shock everybody! And, by the way ladies, our bellies are supposed to be a little round--the belly contains some rather vital organs and they aren't flat.

- Delia, Del Rio, Texas

My wife was happy with the photos...I told her she has a better bottom than Jennifer Love Hewitt!

- Dlf, Sandusky, Ohio. USA

People need to find different things to talk about. She is a beautiful woman now and 10 years ago. Weight is a man made issue just because woman can't slap on a belt and let our bellies ride over the belt and our bottoms sag below it and society finds that socially exceptable. Woman are subject to public criticism with everthing we wear and in every environment even when trying to enjoy a beautiful moment with the man you have decided to spend the rest of your life with.

- Joanna, Ohio, US

Jennifer is a true woman not a copy cat of a skeleton walking around Hollywood!

- Nanette, Australia

Jennfier Love Hewitt's comment on not caring about what people think about her body but then pointing out that she's a size two is a walking juxtapose. She obviously wants people to think that she's not fat by publicising to the world that she's only a size two but in the same breath, she's saying that size doesn't matter. Jennifer - don't tell real women not to care when obviously you do!

- Yvette, California

She still owns my dreams. Go Jennifer!

- Rey, USA

To me... she looks wonderful. And if she has a couple of pounds more or less, to me it's still her - a woman who just wants to live her life like everybody else. Leave the woman alone with all those stupid comments on her Hawaii photos.

- Louissiana, New York, US

She looks great! Curvy and beautiful.

- Jl, NZ

She still looks H.O.T!

- Mark, Downey, California. USA

She looks amazing yes she's not as trim as she used to be which in my books is a good thing she looks healthy and happy so leave her alone. Jen looks amazing.

- Marcelle, South Africa

I just wished I looked like her. I am so glad she stuck up for herself.

- Vickie, Akron, OH USA

She looks like a real, healthy, normal woman. So much better than those twigs that look like they will be dying in the next few hours. No one likes a bone but a dog!

- Mary, Fraser, MI

She still looks as sexy as she ever has. I think she is super hot.

- Darrell Heltz, Reserve, LA USA

She looks like a real woman, is there really anything 'wrong' with that?
She's not fat, and she's also not stick thin. She looks healthy, vibrant, and happy. Why can't photographers just be happy for her too, instead of feeling the need to criticise?

- Nikki, Auckland, New Zealand

I think Jennnifer is a great actress she played the Ghost whisperer like a pro. That is my favourite show.

- Danny Gates, Australia

Maybe I'm looking at the pictures wrong or something - because she looks very sexy to me.

Very slim, with nice curves in all the right places up top and midway down!

- Dani, London, England

She looks great.

- Paul, London

You still gotta love her. She's still hot.

- Claimdenied, St. Louis, MO USA

Doesn't she look like an average young lady and she is probably still only a size 10.
Nobody is perfect and this is the reason women are paranoid - a couple of inches here and there and they are classified as letting themselves go. It's appalling!

- Bonnae, London

She looks great. Most importantly she looks happy and well adjusted. Good for her.

- James, London

What a buzzkill. She used to be such a babe. Now look at the state of her.

- Marcus, London

I think she looks great.

- We, Kent

She looks beautiful and healthy.

- Fiona, London

She looks terrific.

- Kate, London, UK

I think she probably looks like many young girls walking down the street and these photos aren't doing her justice. She is probably quite slim, just not stick thin. In contrast to most Hollywood actresses and due to the thin propaganda fed to us by women's magazines, this is now interpreted as fat.

- Megan, Melbourne, Australia

I thought beauty was in the eyes of the beholder. Her boyfriend must be mature enough to realise it doesn't mean much to have a bit of cellulite.

- Brian Fast, Perth, Australia

I think she's beautiful. Rubbish like this is exactly why young girls have eating disorders.

- What Gives?, NYC

I saw Jennifer Love Hewitt in a store in Kensington a couple of years ago and, in my opinion, she looked too thin. Knowing how photographs can be deceptive, I would suggest she's simply healthy and slim now.

- Stephen, London, UK

The media comments when people are too skinny... and comments when they are too fat... What's the point?

- Cf, London

She looks great!
