Celebrity Fatwatch: J. Love, Tyra
So, this whole Jennifer Love Hewitt brouhaha has been going on, and now Janice Dickinson, who is crazy, has decided she’s going to defend J. Love by calling Tyra Banks fat (again)!
When shown J.Love’s bikini pics on The Today Show, the world’s first self-proclaimed supermodel had this to say: “Jennifer Love Hewitt is a healthy, not emaciated, woman. She’s a healthy girl. And these are unflattering camera angles on her. You want to see someone fat? I’m sorry, Tyra. Tyra Banks is fat.”
I have a feeling this is going to degenerate until every publicity-hungry female celebrity has gone on television to call another celebrity fat. “She’s not fat, Bai Ling is fat!” “She’s not fat, Gabrielle Carteris is fat!” “She’s not fat, Downtown Julie Brown is fat!”and so on and so on until the world is destroyed in some kind of…black hole of D-list celebrity sniping? I don’t know, I’m no scientist.
[Ooh, breaking news. Alerted by the posters on Snarkfest, I found photos of Jennifer Love Hewitt dressed in a fat suit for Halloween a couple of years ago. Note the hot dog accessory! Does this make you feel any differently about the whole thing?]

All I have to say about the pictures of J. Love (as you’ve called her) in the fat suit is wow. As in the one picture where her head is cocked to one side, you can almost hear her saying “guys, it’s ok for me to look this way cause I’m cute and I can take the suit off”. As for Janice, that’s just Janice. I’m not saying that it was right for her to call out Tyra like that, but that’s how Janice has been forever. And yes, by that I mean crazy.
I bet J.Love thought it was hells of funny when she donned that fat suit…which it isn’t.
As for Janice…she’s just crazy. Crazy and maybe a bit near-sighted.
I love it when people decide that being themselves drives them to get mashed on a regular basis join the queue in taking the high ground with fatties, real or imagined. Because being slim anyway=self discipline doesn’t it.
Lecture others about living when you can stand yourself, sober.
(And besides which, I have never heard the expression “healthy girl”when it wasn’t meant as a synonym for “fat”. I would love it if that weren’t the case, but it is.)
First off, I think Janice is a little jealous of Tyra’s overall success. Janice’s show isn’t nearly as popular as Tyra’s. Also, I am sure when Janice left Tyra’s show to create her own that it wasn’t exactly amicable. Also, Tyra made a huge deal about being called fat, and even if she sat back and said “kiss my fat ass”, she still wanted someone to boost her self-esteem by asking “does this look fat to you?”. Janice is going to hit her where it hurts and I am sure that is a soft spot for Tyra.
Annnnd, JL Hewitt, it’s funny to discriminate until it happens to you. I am not saying JL Hewitt deserved the disgrace or the absurd amount of attention her pictures received. BUT, perhaps she will think twice before she pokes fun at any woman’s body type. She is now aware that NO woman is free from public scrutiny and that women are rarely valued above and beyond their appearance. Once you fail to meet those standards as a public figure who is female, at age 28, with fat and cellulite, you’re no longer valueable and you receive this insane amount of backlash.
The picture of Janice on one of the pages linked in this post looks like a caricature. It’s wild. Why does it all matter?
Yeah, that’s Janice. I always wanted to smack her upside the head on ANTM whenever she said that a model couldn’t be overweight. I pretty much agree with everyone else who says she’s just trying to hit Tyra where it hurts. I love Tyra.
As for JLove.. Meh. I’m not crazy about her, and I can’t say I’m crazy about the fat suit. But whatever, who am I to say what makes a good Halloween costume? The posing with food was JUST a bit much, though. Again with the FAT PEOPLE EAT A LOT crap.
Now they are making fun of Hyden Panettiere on TMZ. It’s disgusting. http://www.tmz.com/2007/10/24/haydens-cottage-cheese-thighs-fact-or-fiction/
I think the celebs need to stand up and stop doing ridiculous things to get “red carpet ready” and that may solve part of the problem.
Here’s an interesting article about extreme diets and the documentary “Super Skinny Me”

God… it’s when people start ridiculing women like Tyra Banks and Hayden Panettiere for being overweight that I pull out the carton of ice cream. Because if those beautiful ladies are fat, then I’m fucking Monstro from Pinocchio. LOOK OUT, GEPETTO!! HERE COMES MONSTRO!! **SPLOOOOSH***
I have this fantasy of leaving everything and everyone I know behind, taking all my savings and buying a big gun along with an assload of ammo and spending all the money on a cross-country killing spree that would target every bitchy celebrity that gets paid millions of dollars a year for doing practically nothing while I work at my buttoned-down, nine-to-five day job, dreaming of that distant golden day of retirement. I would go for as long as I could, until Harvey Keitel caught up with me, and then I would drive myself off a random cliff in the Grand Canyon, with an uplifting score by Hans Zimmer playing in my head as I take the plunge…
…or something…
Celebrity, in almost all its forms (excluding the types of celebrity that gets incredible humanitarian-type things done), is ridiculous, IMO. “Size 2 is not fat!!!” You’re kidding. You make HOW much for those Hanes commercials, you gutless, brainless, clueless excuse for a pretty face? Guess what, J.Love… to me, size 14 is not fat. Stick that in your fat suit and set it on fire.
Janice’s shtick is being an over-done, over-the-top brat. She gets to be mean because, she’s, like, totally pretty and OLD.
We’re supposed to care because she’s over the hill (supposedly) and looks like she’s been shellacked.
Yawn.
Oh, and I want to be fat like J. Love and Tyra.
I just visited and looked at Hayden. Yanno what? I say lets keep running these kind of pictures so that people can start to understand that human skin has texture. It’s not plastic or porcelain. It’s skin.
She’s got great legs.
Sheesh.
Dahlings, I understand Tyra’s pain. Imagine having your body constantly scrutinized from every angle, and never being “perfect” enough for the tabloids? (Which I seriously doubt are read by any skinny folk, save for young girls being treated for anorexia in hospital wards.) I love my big, beautiful body, and I am proud of my decollatage, creamy skin, and my couture is always juicy. JLH can smooch my generous white buttocks.
As for Janice Dickinson…it’s better to look the other way when someone embarrasses themselves to that extent.
I just noticed that “Fatwatch” is “Fatwa” + the deprecating sound “tch”. That’s so appropriate on so many levels.
Evidently Janice baby caught some hell over this, she’s backtracking now, and saying she loves Tyra, she was just kidding when she called Tyra fat. Yeah, right, Janice, and with a friend like you, no one needs any enemies.
Janice=absolutely crazy. And if you want to be all nasty about it? Tyra could lose weight, Janice, but no amount of ADDITIONAL plastic surgery can fix what’s been done to your face with your own money. A perfect example of someone’s ugly personality showing clearly on the outside.
Who listens to her, anyway?? She’s like a meaner Paula Abdul.
PS Just discovered your blog, already love it (the logo/banner! so fabulous), but just wanted to mention that “fat” is definitely not the ‘f’ word implied when my family says “BFD.” :P
last halloween when i saw the people magazine photos of “JelLo” in the fat suit, i sent in a comment to the editor, asking if it would have been cuter if she added one big false tit, shaved her head to put on a scarf and gone as a cancer patient with a single mastectomy. needless to say, people declined to print it. wonder why? i guess someone hit JelLo with the fat stick. be careful what you wish for….i think she brought the “fatlash” on herself.
I just wish everyone would stop judging people by how the look, and more on what kind of personv we are. I know that is a fantasy, but I can dream. Wouldnt the world be a very boring place if we all looked the same?
I do have one more comment to make onvrhis subject, I would just like to know what makes it any better when I get comments from people on being too thin? I am curious of anyone else has a comment about this. I know most people probably would think of this is a compliment, but I sometimes find it mean spirited.
