JLH's weight gain
Apr 12 2008, 12:49 AM EDT JLH has NEVER been an 'A' actress. She's gotten noticed for her 'jiggly' T&A. Now that she's gained so much weight she has lost the 'hook' that kept many viewers interested (you could watch the show with the 'mute' on). She's wearing heavy clothing, and making others wear them too...in places heavy clothing isn't required. (Raincoats in dorm rooms, where other actors have a TShirt, etc.) It's sooo obvious it's embarrassing. Before anyone gets alarmed and upset regarding this as a 'sexist' remark, just remember that the girl got where she is because she flaunted her 'sexiness' thru' implants, etc. Perhaps JLH's BF has something to do with this 'new look'. Moral: Lose the weight, or give up the show. Cameron is an excellent actress, but you don't see her as a headliner. There's a reason for that: Sex sells...like it or not. 4 out of 90 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: JLH's weight gain
Apr 12 2008, 2:06 AM EDT Hasn't anyone learned anything since Tyra Banks got news coverage because someone said she was getting fat? Yes, show business spotlights what u SHOW. But there's more to acting and storytelling than one's weight. No, this isn't an overweight person's protest. I am just surprised to find someone spending time criticizing JLH on a Ghost Whisperer website. BTW, I haven't noticed a big change in her wardrobe. In fact, tonight's new episode showed her and hubby getting dressed to go out strictly so we could see them NOT wearing their street clothes but wearing little beyond their birthday suits. Before GW, I always joked that Jennifer Loves Cleavage. After GW began, I saw an interview where JLH admitted that, as one of the show's producers, she makes sure there is plenty of eye candy for viewers. Obviously, Calico46, Camryn Mannheim isn't a leading lady, but she's not out of work, either. And they both do a fine job selling the Philosophy of GW--that there is an afterlife. It's not just a series about ghosts that go BOO in the night. It's about people's willingness to be open-minded about a subject that will probably always be debated--life after death. Of course, it won't be debated by most people who would rather comment on someone's weight than their acting or their philosophy on life and/or death. How about people ALL learning this corny old line? Minds and parachutes both work best when they are open. 11 out of 11 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: JLH's weight gain
Apr 12 2008, 3:23 PM EDT I think JLH is one of the prettiest women in show business. She could gain 200 pounds and I would still think that. I think the entire cast is made up of very talented actors, and I love every episode. I can't imagine why someone would watch GW simply to watch JLH's boobs. And not only that, but JLH hasn't even gained that much weight. She looks like an average woman. Part of the problem is that we have veiwers/fans that have an unrealistic expectation that their celebrities should be ultra thin, beautiful, and superhuman. Some people need to wake up and realize that celebrities are people too. Have you ever gained 5 or 10 pounds before? Did you have all of America watching and commenting? Its tough enough to be in show biz, let along having to deal with shallow-minded people that will only watch you because you have big boobs. Your comment is an insult to JLH, all of her hard work, and GW in general. Next time you want to see boobs, turn it to Deal or No Deal. 13 out of 13 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: JLH's weight gain
Apr 12 2008, 4:15 PM EDT Your opinions are noted. My original statement is based on her roles prior to (and including GW). IF sex didn't sell, she wouldn't have been doing the cleavage 'thing' along time ago. Is she a person? Absolutely. So, she should go get a job as an average person; like working at Starbucks. She's about as attractive (now) as Britney Spears (with her weight gain). I DON'T make the rules, society does (and in the case of TV, advertising revenue: what sells). JLH has made some of the raciest TV ads of any of the actors; esp. overseas. The standard for them is NOT the standard for an $7.00 hr (or more) common human. Do they go through a lot of 'shit'; you bet--but not anymore, and much less, than the working class people! I don't pity her. What she presented herself at the beginning of GW, and what's she's packaging herself now isn't the same. These are facts, not opinions. That's the difference. She got in the business, knowing the requirements. She chose the route to take. She's NOT a serious actor; you'll never see her in a movie like the 'Titanic' or any epic. She IS (or was) eye-candy. No more. Time to go. The smart money says this show won't last, as it is. Look at TV Guide's poll ratings for the last 3 years. They say everything. 0 out of 19 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: JLH's weight gain
Apr 12 2008, 4:56 PM EDT How is the statement "WHAT SHE PRESENTED HERSELF AT THE BEGINNING OF GW AND WHAT SHE'S PACKAGING HERSELF NOW ISNT THE SAME" a fact? It is not a fact. It is your opinion. And you are welcome to your opinions, just as several of us are welcome to disagree with them. As for her popularity or GW's, there are facts and opinions involved here. 1) Ratings were sagging (no pun intended), and the show was on the brink of cancellation 2)The popularity among its fans seemed to influence the network to save it. The latest I heard, it's been approved for a 4th season. (BTW, The Dick Van Dyke Show and Star Trek were also cancelled after their FIRST season. Their fans protested, and they were saved for years of Happily Ever After.) So, let's keep our facts and opinions straight. That's what make TV watching and politics so exciting. 7 out of 7 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: JLH's weight gain
Apr 12 2008, 5:08 PM EDT You people are ridiculous! Being in a Titanic doesn't represent acting ability, and as for the "weight issue" it has nothing to do with acting! Kate Winslet isn't a stick! As for cleavage, I'm a straight women and they look real to me, either that or she has a great surgeon. Why is her body even in question? She's on a great and entertaining show, if you want really deep drama change the the chanel! No, I'm not a big person, never have been, . so it's not predjudice. The show is great , so get a realistic life! Thanks 8 out of 8 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: JLH's weight gain
Apr 12 2008, 5:21 PM EDT Please dont throw me in with "you people." I agree that people who are in blockbuster movies are usually chosen for their audience appeal, not their acting ability. Winslet is an exception. Usually, the more money the movie makes, the less likely it is to be considered for the more serious Oscars. I agree that she's on a great and entertaining show. If it wasnt, we wouldnt be discussing it. But the question of her cleavage, while u and i think it's trivial, a lot of internet space (not on this GW side) is spent comparing JLH's breasts. I agree that there is a fascination with breasts in the US. The "Real" or "Not?" questions are in magazines and on the internet. But, thanks, Irishngel3, cuz i have never debated whether JLH went to the plastic surgeon. I am male, and my impulse is to say, "JLH is just well endowed." And that's it. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: JLH's weight gain
Apr 12 2008, 8:03 PM EDT Ok I'm not too sure by what you mean as an 'A' actress but personally I think some of those scenes really brought out her talent and why do ppl keep assuming tht it's her decision to cover up so much lately? How do you know tht it is not hinting soemthing in the show??I think some of you ppl are being ezxtremely unfair to JLH and saying she doesn't have talent. Just because you star in some amazing epic movie doesn't mean shit about your talent and so what if she haas HUGE boobs I think some ppl need to look at some of her other perks. Personally I've nvr met her before but she sounds like an amazing woman and maybe you horny guys should stop looking at her tits all the time and look at her god damn acting!!! 4 out of 4 found this valuable.

RE: JLH's weight gain
Apr 12 2008, 10:05 PM EDT I'm NOT a man. I'm a professional dancer in a main musical on the Strip in 'Vegas. This is the 'hook' I use to create 'entertainment' while it lasts. JLH, Tyra Banks made their FORTUNES 'selling' to the public what the public PAYs to see. It wasn't the female audience that made Tyra or JLH rich. Tyra was the ideal 'sexy' supermodel-representing to the world, what an ideal woman should look like. She cries 'foul' when she doesn't want to play the 'game' anymore. JLH has admitted to Jay Leno, and others, that she's had two breast augmentations.(Google it). She told Leno, when asked about how her career was going, 'My breasts are doing well...I wish I could say as much for my career...' She said this with laughter. Leno asked her would she pose in Playboy. She said she had no issues with doing so, but the 'exposure' (pun intended) would quickly end her career. GW was picked up (in part) because JLH became a 'producer' on the show, which means many things, but mostly taking a 'huge' pay cut, lessening the overhead costs of the show. (The TV series, 'Charmed' actors did the same thing.) It also gives JLH more freedom regarding wardrobe and script. It is correct in saying that a lot of 'negative press' has been written regarding JLH's cleavage. She's smart enough to know that kind of 'bad press' brings money in audience participation. JLH does 'bubble gum' shows: pretty and sweet to look at. She doesn't care anymore. If she did, she'd lost her weight during the Writer's Strike; she didn't. Google the paparazzi pics on the web of her recent bikini pics taken while on vacation, then compare them to her pics just a year ago. The writing is on the wall; JLH knows it. BTW, I don't ever remember 'Life being fair', however, for JLH it's been more than fair. 2 out of 11 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: JLH's weight gain
Apr 13 2008, 2:53 AM EDT Thanks, man, for your thoughtful and thorough comments. I was just in Vegas. Wonder if i saw u. One thing we can agree upon, Calico46. LIFE ISN'T FAIR. Anyone who thinks it is fair has just not lived long enough to see how often bad things happen to good people. There were several facts u included this time that i appreciate because one person does not always see the same corner of the world as some others have. Peace.
