You know and love Eva Longoria Parker from watching Desperate Housewives. Her character Gabrielle has always been notably petite and toned, so when an actress with that physique gains a few pounds, rumors start flying. The media continues to pry and ask Eva when her baby is due, and Longoria Parker has attempted to put the speculations to rest by saying, "I'm just fat."

Her show, Desperate Housewives, may be full of melodrama, but Felicity Huffman is refreshingly down to earth. The 45-year-old star appears on the September cover of More magazine, looking fabulous and speaking frankly about her fitness habits and finding a healthy balance.
I particularly like what she had to say about finding a personal trainer with a realistic attitude:
"I've had a lot of trainers through the years, and they’re always like, 'Oh my god, you ate a muffin?'

I always assumed that celebrities were encouraged to lose weight and be thinner, but here's a surprising turnaround. In a recent issue of Us Weekly, it was reported that Megan Fox was "ordered by her director to pack on 10 or more pounds." She said "I'd lost a lot of weight and got really scrawny, but I was told I had to put on a size."

Posh is so often in the limelight for her fashion choices that her body is often the subject of discussion too. Uber slim Victoria Beckham defended her eating habits in the recent issue of Allure. Here's what she had to say about her diet:
"I'm very strict in the way I eat.

It's hard to hear some celebrities say that they've never seen the inside of a gym and they dine at fast food joints (or that they look so good from drinking shots of vinegar) because in most cases, it's just not true. It's always dumbfounded me why folks in the public eye can't just be honest about the extensive measures they go to to stay red carpet ready.
That is why I love it when a star speaks out and reminds us that yes, she may have a bit more resources than the average Joe, but she's human.
