For years, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt’s name was in all the US and international tabloids for being a bit heavier than the rest of Hollywood female stars, despite her repeated assurances that she was both healthy and happy. Now, British tab the Daily Mail is leading the pack with suggestions that the actress might have gotten a bit too skinny after breaking up with fiancé Ross McCall.

Hewitt made an appearance at the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas over the weekend, and looked absolutely fabulous in a flowing white gown. Yet, the publication says, while there is no question as to how great she looked, the issue of whether she has lost too much weight is debatable. The British tab seems inclined to say that, indeed, Jennifer Love Hewitt is now too skinny.

“Just two months ago she was telling Jessica Simpson she should ignore the ‘unreasonable’ pressure to be thin in Hollywood. But it seems Jennifer Love Hewitt could perhaps have done with following her own advice. Her tiny frame was on show in a white dress at the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas last night.” the Mail writes. While there is no question that the “Ghost Whisperer” star is now slimmer than, say, a couple of months ago, she is far from being too slim or unhealthy for that matter, several other media outlets are pointing out.

A possible explanation for the actress’ sudden weight loss could be found in the fact that she has started working out more again, as she recently admitted in an interview with Life & Style Magazine. Hitting the gym allowed Hewitt not only to shake a few extra pounds off, but also to fight the depression and anxiety inherent in such a difficult breakup as hers was from her fiancé. She also went on a diet, which included only one day of cheating, meaning of indulging in everything she might want, as the actress also stressed at the time.

“Exercising has cut my anxiety way down, and it’s made me sleep better.” Jennifer told a short while back. “I allow myself one really bad day a week when I can have all the cupcakes and whatever else I want to have. And the rest of the week, I just try to be really sensible about it.” the actress added.
