Cover Story: Stars' Real Sizes Revealed!

Promoting her new memoir, Mommywood, Tori Spelling has garnered more attention for her waistline than her work.

“I’m not 98 pounds,” the mother of two told the Today show on April 15, addressing rumors of an eating disorder.

“No one’s seen me in two and a half years not pregnant... I’m the exact same size I was before.”

Meanwhile, stars such as Jessica Simpson, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Love Hewitt have been accused of being too curvy.

“I’m not in the best shape yet,” Jennifer admits, “but I’m working toward it.” Clearly, size is a weighty issue for women in Hollywood (and everywhere else!).

And just this week, curvy reality star Kim Kardashian let loose on a tabloid item that referred to her as plus-sized, when in actuality she's more petite than the average woman.

MARIAH CAREY
Height: 5'9"
The songstress, 40, has always been famous for her fluctuating waistline. “She was fitting into size 4 dresses last May, just after she married Nick Cannon,” a source tells OK!. “Now, she’s a 6, but sometimes an 8 or 29 in jeans; it always changes.”

JENNIFER ANISTON
Height: 5'5"
America's sweetheart has always been fit. "Jen's never changed from size 26 jeans and a 0/2 dress," a source tells OK!. Two-hour yoga sessions, 45-minute workouts and a protein-packed diet keep the Baster actress, 40, toned at 110 pounds.

JESSICA ALBA
Height: 5'7"
Following the June 2008 arrival of little girl Honor Marie, Jess, 28, quickly peeled off the pounds. “She was size 28 in jeans by August; in October, a 26,” a stylist who works with a top denim line tells OK!. “By December, she was her usual size 25, 0/2 dress and 110 pounds.”

HALLE BERRY
Height: 5'6"
It didn't take long for Halle, 42, to get back into shape after the March 2008 birth of daughter Nahla. "Before the baby, she wore size 27 jeans," a source tells OK!. "During the mid to late stages of her pregnancy, she was a 31. Now's she's back to a 28 for jeans and a size 4 dress."

JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT
Height: 5'2"
When the actress, 30, hit a beach last June, she caught flack for her fuller bikini body (“A size 2 is not fat!” she fired back). Indeed, a stylist tells OK! that Jennifer, who works out for 90 minutes, four days a week, has worn size 27 jeans since August.

KIM KARDASHIAN
Height: 5'2"
Despite what you might have read in a recent tabloid, Kim, 28, is anything but plus-sized. In fact, she's a rather petite dress size 2 to 4, and a 26 or 27 in jeans, her rep confirms to OK!. The 118-pound reality star, who has released a line of fitness DVDs, owes her curves to two-hour daily workouts that include weights and an abs series.

TORI SPELLING
Height: 5'5"
Forget the rumors that the 90210 star and mother-of-two, 35, starves herself. Tori, who weighs in at 110 lbs, says she stays slim by exercising with her family. Her rep tells OK! the actress wears size 25 jeans and a 0/2 dress.

JESSICA SIMPSON
Height: 5'2"
She wore size 28 jeans earlier this year, but “now Jess requests size 26,” a celebrity stylist tells OK!. The singer, 28, is currently a size 4 dress and 122 pounds. “She’s bigger up top, but has a teeny waist,” adds the stylist.

JENNIFER LOPEZ
Height: 5'8"
Following the birth of twins Max and Emme in February 2008, J.Lo, 39, slimmed down with the help of trainer Gunnar Peterson, who designed her daily cardio/strength-training regime. Now, “she’s a solid 28 in jeans,” a source tells OK!.

BROOKE SHIELDS
Height: 5'11"
The 43-year-old mother of two was a size 28 while filming her NBC TV series, Lipstick Jungle, her friend tells OK!. Now that the show’s been canceled, Brooke’s eased up on her diet. “She’s a size 29,” a source tells OK!.

EVA LONGORIA PARKER
Height: 5'1"
Though she packed on pounds last year for Desperate Housewives, Eva, 34, said she never went up a size. A source says, “She actually did go up to 25 in jeans, but she’s back to her normal size 24, 0 dress, 98 pounds.”

ya, these are all completely wrong
[info]bonjourchloe 22nd-Apr-2009 12:22 pm (UTC)
lol why exactly do we care about celeb sizes? i mean, i know i totally do, but WHY? plus it's not coming directly from the celebs so you know some of these are probably false.
[info]katina921 22nd-Apr-2009 11:33 pm (UTC)
Or, in Kim Kardashians case, totally false regardless.
[info]jedimistress16 22nd-Apr-2009 12:23 pm (UTC)
Women's sizing has changed so much, in the US, anyway, in the last 40 years, it's ridiculous.

(Old geezerette alert:) When I went off to college in the fall of 1969, I was 5'7.5" tall and weighed about 125 lbs. Man, those were the days. Anyway, I wore a misses' size 12 in 1969 sizes. That's right. 12. Granted I had broad shoulders, but still I was very slender; in high school I was nicknamed "Twiggy." Today's sizes have been tailored for women's egos.

So I laugh when I see "size 0." That would probably have been a 6 or 8 in 1960s sizing.
[info]bigbranch 22nd-Apr-2009 12:32 pm (UTC)
excuse me, but did you just say you went to college in 19 freakin 69?
good lordie, i didn't know we had senior citizens here...
[info]jedimistress16 22nd-Apr-2009 12:38 pm (UTC)
Ha. I've been very open about my age here. I'm 57 and a grandma. :-)

Is there an age limit for having fun?

I'd rather have a bunch of senior citizens over a bunch of junior high kids any day.

Wasn't Marilyn Monroe a size 16? It's crazy.
[info]invisible_cunt 22nd-Apr-2009 01:42 pm (UTC)
wow this is weird.
my mom is only a couple years younger than you!
and you're already a grandmother?!



sizing is quite a bit different in canada too.
i'm usually a 2 or 3 in canada, depending on if it's made smaller or bigger,
but in the states i'm like a 1, and sometimes 0.

it's as if they have made sizes bigger to accommodate the increase of obesity.
[info]joalesh 22nd-Apr-2009 01:51 pm (UTC)
Awesome! =o)

I'm 37 and I love ONTD!
[info]ottbecka 22nd-Apr-2009 02:17 pm (UTC)
You rock :)
I'm 40, my mom is 62 and my oldest daughter is 21. We all read ONTD ;)


[info]mon_deluge 22nd-Apr-2009 02:39 pm (UTC)
What's so bad about the sizes changing? The average american is bigger now and to be honest the people that I know are size 0...I can't imagine a sizeable amount of the population being even smaller than that.
[info]andilulu 22nd-Apr-2009 03:06 pm (UTC)
I totally agree! I wear a lot of vintage clothing, generally a size 12. It makes me laugh when people use the "Marilyn Monroe was a size 12" excuse...
[info]magicpineapple 22nd-Apr-2009 03:11 pm (UTC)
Bogart and Bacall. ♥
[info]fatesarchitect 22nd-Apr-2009 03:41 pm (UTC)
GURL. We need some maturity in this pack. Ignore the haters.

How fucking cool were the 70's? I'm so envious.
[info]dazedpuckbunny 22nd-Apr-2009 04:36 pm (UTC)
Ooo can you settle a curiosity for me then? Girls nowadays rave about Marilyn Monroe's "Size 16" because they identify with it. In reality what size would that have been in her time? Cause when I see pics of Marilyn she seems to be more of Scarlett Johanssen's measurments.
[info]upisdown_x 22nd-Apr-2009 04:37 pm (UTC)
Damn, now I really feel like a child haha.
[info]simplychristina 22nd-Apr-2009 04:53 pm (UTC)
I feel old on ONTD at times and I'm 28. My mom kind of had the same deal with sizing. She's almost 5'7" and was 130/135lbs back in the 70s. She's told me the stories of her sometimes not even finding stuff in her size (!).

My mom is young at heart and always around the net too. I totally plan on being that way. Heck, I still feel 12 sometimes. :)

[info]mercystars 22nd-Apr-2009 04:57 pm (UTC)
I hear you. I graduated high school in 1985, probably weighed 110 pounds, and wore a size 5. Now I weigh 140 and wear a 6. Thirty pounds later and I only wear the next size up? Riiiiiiiiight. It's very strange.
[info]jedimistress16 22nd-Apr-2009 05:09 pm (UTC)
This has been the most wonderful ONTD thread of my life. Thanks, all, for the love and acceptance! 8D
[info]joaniemaloney 23rd-Apr-2009 02:08 am (UTC)
Nice tidbit of info!

& I feel strangely...babysitted. In a good way.:p
[info]cecilia_weasley 23rd-Apr-2009 06:04 am (UTC)
omg giiiiiirl let me tell you: I can be size 10, 12, 14, and 16 in ONE store. I am soooo confused tbh. :( I don't care what size I am!!! I just want to be ONE size!!!
[info]smashpumpkins21 22nd-Apr-2009 12:23 pm (UTC)
"Meanwhile, stars such as Jessica Simpson, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Love Hewitt have been accused of being too curvy. "


the wording of that sentence, specifically "accusations", this makes me sick. oy.

I don't understand american sizes.
[info]psychopompous_9 22nd-Apr-2009 12:40 pm (UTC)
neither do we.
[info]spacemonkey_699 22nd-Apr-2009 01:22 pm (UTC)
Me neither. When I was younger and skinnier, I was a size 8 and I thought that was skinny. Then I'd see size 2 in Hollywood and think "holy shit, how tiny are these people????"

I'm an Aussie btw.
[info]lizziey 22nd-Apr-2009 01:45 pm (UTC)
I was a 00 in high school, and I look at pictures and am like "WTF". :-p
[info]createconfusion 22nd-Apr-2009 02:03 pm (UTC)
Me neither
[info]hollis1975 22nd-Apr-2009 02:24 pm (UTC)
we dont either. what was a size 6 in 1993 is now a size 3/4.

its vanity sizing.

they would get a more realistic view of how big they were or werent if they wore some boy jeans
[info]dazedpuckbunny 22nd-Apr-2009 04:37 pm (UTC)
They vary store to store. I don't get them either. @_@
[info]cecilia_weasley 23rd-Apr-2009 06:04 am (UTC)
trust me it's the most confusing thing EVER
[info]upandabove 22nd-Apr-2009 12:25 pm (UTC)
This is ridiculous. They are all fine.

I think a lot of things when I look at these talentless hacks, but "fat" isn't amongst them.

IKR, I just don't look at her face to enjoy the dress
[info]writtenbyhand 22nd-Apr-2009 04:30 pm (UTC)
And her shoes.
[info]mini83 22nd-Apr-2009 12:26 pm (UTC)
There is no way Jessica Alba and Tori Spelling are the same weight and Tori is 2 inches shorter when Alba does look anorexic.
[info]arianna_noel 22nd-Apr-2009 12:46 pm (UTC)
its the silicone.
[info]arianna_noel 22nd-Apr-2009 12:47 pm (UTC)
but no really. everyone carries their weight differently.
[info]v_x_2 22nd-Apr-2009 12:27 pm (UTC)
that fat ass chick is only 5 foot 2...?
and i don't believe jessica simpson is a size 4...

Jennifer Aniston is so skinny but you picked the fattest looking picture possible of her for this post.
[info]birdlily 22nd-Apr-2009 12:29 pm (UTC)
Love Brooke's figure...Mariah is not 5'9 (maybe 5'7) and I highly doubt Kim's 39" bum fits into a 2. She may be a two everywhere else butt (ha) not there!
[info]birdlily 22nd-Apr-2009 03:13 pm (UTC)
I really doubt she's over 5'7, especially since Nick Cannon is either 5'11 or 6'. She is constantly in at least 3-4 inch heels, and is still shorter than he is, if she were 5'11 that would not be the case.

I'm 5'9, my boyfriend is 6' and in high heels (4" and above) I am at least 1 or 2 inches taller than he is...

Nick's height

[info]jiai1 22nd-Apr-2009 03:00 pm (UTC)
Yeah again, Kim's camp lies. Im an inch taller than her but weigh the same, also with a big booty but not as big as hers. People still say I'm skinny as hell but when my friends realize the booty in fact cannot fit into a size 2/3, they're like "gtfo! That is so weird." Um I need 3% spandex in my denim and while my legs could fit a 2, my ass is more a 5/6 squished in lol. I'm fine with it but I do have to have my pants altered for the legs. Hers are probably the same (except I don't have stylists also sewing in size 2 tags). Kim I clearly not comfortable in her own skin. She has a tiny waist too but our bodies are nearly the same and she's not fooling anyone.
[info]_ballerinagirl 22nd-Apr-2009 12:49 pm (UTC)
i was just going to post this. she's definitely 5'5"-5'6"ish
[info]bostongirl2003 22nd-Apr-2009 01:36 pm (UTC)
there's a line in "Enough" when she's says she's 5'5 (and 115 pounds :p)
[info]mcgees 22nd-Apr-2009 02:38 pm (UTC)
The height seems to be really off for the majority of these. Maybe when they're in their heels at premieres or w/e, but not barefoot.
[info]alchimie_amour 22nd-Apr-2009 05:08 pm (UTC)
IRL she's closer to 5'4-5'5, as is Anniston
[info]we_like_you 23rd-Apr-2009 12:03 am (UTC)
I know, when I saw that I was like... whaaaat?
