Manheim Praises Jennifer Love Hewitt Over Bikini Controversy
12/11/07
Actress Camryn Manheim has applauded her Ghost
Whisperer co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt for hitting out at the media
after unflattering bikini photographs of her surfaced.
Hewitt was snapped in her black two-piece swimsuit last month (Nov07)
as she was enjoying a romantic break in Hawaii with fiancé Ross McCall.
The paparazzi shots were then ridiculed by the media's fashion and
fitness police.
The 28-year-old fired back in a post on her website, insisting she's
content with her figure, but feared comments about her body would put
young girls under more pressure to diet.
A host of celebrities have applauded the actress for not just ignoring
the harsh comments, and now Manheim, who faced her own body image issues,
is heaping praise on Hewitt.
She's convinced Hewitt's response has sent out a strong message to
young
women: "I couldn't be more proud of her. I think she's really
empowered. I wrote her a long email and said, `What I wouldn't do for your
beautiful butt!'"
Other female stars who have backed Hewitt's comments include Kate
Walsh, Rosario Dawson and Anne Hathaway.
