TVGuide.com: Having lashed back at the media about that "controversy" [Hewitt blogged, "I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinized.... I'm not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image"], did you hesitate about participating in that Us Weekly cover story about your 18-lb. weight loss?
Hewitt: You know what's funny is I didn't participate in it. Everybody thinks I did, but…. They talked to my trainer, who I think was just trying to say nice things and it kind of went on. I literally got a phone call saying, "P.S. You're going to be on the cover of Us, and they're talking about you losing weight." I was like, "What?!" [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: I myself thought, "How could she do that, having criticized the media for obsessing on body image?"
Hewitt: I know, and that's what everybody keeps concentrating on, but I had nothing to do with it. I didn’t go lose weight because of that. I'm not a "work out" kind of girl — I'd rather shop or see a movie! — but I got this "bug" in me to run a marathon for my 30th birthday [next Feb. 21]. I started training, and when you're doing anything like that which you're not used to, you drop weight. When I heard all the compliments and nice things, it made me nervous. I didn't want people to think what I said [last year] wasn't true, because I stand by what I said. People's bodies are going to change. Sometimes you're going to go up, sometimes you're going to go down.... I wish people would stop talking about it all together, to be quite honest.

Perhaps, we might suggest, she should stop giving interviews about it then? Or, at the very least, stop staging paparazzi photos where she "trains" in full makeup? Sorry, Love: we're thin on sympathy around here.

She's a poster-girl for gorgeous curves, but Catherine Zeta Jones appears to be in danger of losing her bombshell status. ...

The actresses weight is known to have has fluctuated over the years. Catherine, who is married to Michael Douglas, has told how she 'ate for Wales' when pregnant with her first child, Dylan, now seven.

At her heaviest she weighed 13 stone. After the birth of her daughter Carys five years ago, she used a tough dance-based routine from her movie Chicago to whittle herself into shape.

Representatives for Zeta-Jones furiously challenged the reports, noting that even at her most pregnant the Oscar-winner has never tipped the scales at anything more than 11 stone. Story author "Daily Mail Reporter" insisted s/he stood by the number, though, clarifying the paper's policy that every lost curve is roughly equivalent to .87 stone and that a careful study of the photographic record would speak for itself.
