    Body image sucks and Clarkson Does Naked

    Jennifer Love Hewitt has weighed in on the Jessica Simpson 'fat' debate - to say she wishes everyone would stop debating the star's weight.

    The actress is the latest famous name to speak out in support of the Dukes Of Hazzard star after she became the butt (pun intended) of jokes about her heavier new look.

    "I wish they would leave her alone," she tells Usmagazine.com.

    Jennifer found her own body shape the centre of attention in 2007 after she was snapped flaunting her ample curves in a bikini while on holiday.

    Pals say it was 18-year-old Hayden's love of partying that eventually proved to much for their relationship to handle.

    Teri Hatcher doesn't believe in dieting.

    The Desperate Housewives actress, 44, insists slobbing on the couch and scoffing crisps and sweets once in a while does everybody good.

    She says, "I am kind of a moderation person. I don't believe in dieting, I don't get all the Botox and the fillers and that stuff because I feel that we should embrace getting older and I want to be real about that and represent that instead of trying to cover it up.

    Then why does it look like someone laid her skin over a middle school science teacher's skeleton?

    In other Teri Hatcher news, could there be a girl to girl kiss scene coming up on Desperate Housewives?

    Producers have told Celebuzz.com that to make sure viewers don't abandon them, they've got extra-special plans for Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria Parker.

    "Anything is kind of possible right now," the unnamed exec said. "I don't think a kiss between Eva and Teri's characters could be ruled out, especially if it keeps people interested in the show."
