Man! I am struggling to get myself down under 130 pounds (at 5'7") - a feat which feels like climbing Everest to me - and in looking at photos of what is considered "normal" based on our Hollywood-obsessed culture I sit here feeling like a complete failure. But the fact is, I am inching towards the very bottom of my healthy BMI.
And I look at Katherine Heigl, who is sometimes considered to be a "fleshy" or "curvy" Hollywood celebrity, and realize she is probably simply at the upper end of the "underweight" BMI range.

So what does this tell me? - The Hollywood ideal has nothing to do with a healthy weight.

And maybe, just maybe, it isn't normal to have 0% body fat, excepting very athletic people who are willing to bust their butts in the gym every day. We just think it is.

are you kidding! shes GORGEOUS! shes relaxed, on holidays ppl in 'real life' if she were walking dwn the beach NOBODY WOULD CARE! get ova urselfs ppl!
MY GOSH!

I used to love her, but she is starting to get annoying. She seems like she always has a problem with everything. She's weird. Also, if she thinks all these scripts/roles and strictly ratings boosters, sexist, and other negative things, WHY did she do them? That's even worse, so shut your trap Katherine. You're losing fans and I want to like you! haha

I think it's nice to see that the people we believe to be so perfect on TV are not so perfect and look like the rest of us. Everyone has their flaws.but she looks great.

PREGGERS?

She is quite beautiful. Nothing fat about her. These photographers wait around these people just waiting to snap an unflattering picture of a celebrity and that's all that is. She's not posing, she's not made up and she's standing in an awkward position. As the mother of a daughter who suffered an eating disorder I am here to tell you that your comments about this very beautiful woman with lovely curves being fat are not good for young girls out there. Our society puts way too much stock in the way a person looks instead of what kind of person they are on the inside.

6:01, not everyone wants to look like a man!

Katherine Heigl has a pretty bikini body, etc.

comments like many of these are why some of these stars and ppl in general have eating disorders. She looks healthy and physically fit. As a nurse, what I am wondering is what she would look like if she wasn't chain smoking all day.......I agree with whomever said the comment "you ppl are ruthless", so very true.

She looks good, but she should give up her nicotine addiction :-)

Oh shut up Mom. I smoke and I can't stand people who tell me to quit. Everyone has a bad habit, but I'm not going to preach to you about how you need to stop!

I read people criticizing models for being too skinny, then a movie star with a little bit more curves is being called FAT. come one guys, what is wrong with you? that is why we have young girls starving themselves to try to look super skinny
I think that we usually look a little bigger on pictures,even thought she looks great, so give her a break!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY?!? You call THAT fat? Are you freaking kidding me? Just because she isn't disguistingly skinny like Amy Winehouse, the druggy. People are ridiculous. That is not fat. You wonder why our youth are starving themselves or puking up everything they eat.

You people are ruthless...

LOL. I actually got nice legs. Legs are my best features. I'm still working on my stomach though, I just had a baby 3 months ago. I'm 5'6 and weighs 130 lbs and I need to lose 10 more pounds to get back to my old body. I'm not perfect, I'm just saying that I'm actually surprise to see that she got very thick, out of shape cellulite legs that's all. I thought for sure she would be skinny all over. I did compliment her tummy, you guys don't need bite my head off. Sorry if the truth hurt.

The truth is Maggie, you shouldn't be so judgemental. You are only 5'6" and 130 lbs? That's nothing to brag about. I am 2 inches taller than you and about 8 lbs lighter than you. In my opinion, YOU are the one who could lose some weight.

What would you folks wear to the beach if you knew you'd be photographed and splashed about the internets? or would you be too chicken to go out in public in a swimsuit? I think she looks great and they seem to be having a great time, which is what going to the beach is all about!
