I was thinking the same thing. When I saw that she's supposedly 120, I was surprised. If she's known as one of the "thicker" celebrities at "5'6" and 120, the rest of Hollywood must be waifs.

I thought curvy had to do with a woman's bust-waist-hip ratio, not her weight. Marilyn Monroe's slimmest weight was probably a little lighter than J.Lo's listed weight (I read somewhere that it was about 115), yet she's considered "curvy".

That's exactly my weight and height (well, I'm a half inch taller) and I'm sort of b/w a size 2 and 4 (meaning, size 2 is a bit tight and size 4 is a bit baggy on me). It might depend on how wide her hips are...if they're wider then she's going to definitely lean toward the 4, but if they're not, then she's going to lean toward the 2.

Let me think what I can remember from my days when I used to obsessively track this. Obviously some of it is pretty rough estimates.

Jennifer Anniston - 5'5" 105
Jennifer Lopez 5'6" 120 (I think this is on the low side)
Britney 5'5" and she's been everywhere from 105-150 (on the higher end of that now)
Lara Flynn Boyle 5'6" or 5'7" 95
Jessica Simpson 5'3" 105-110
Drew Barrymore 5'4" 120-125
Kirsten Dunst 5'2" 100
Beyonce 5'6" or 5'7" 135-140
Renee Zellweger 5'5" 105 (before Bridget Jones Diary -- she's been higher and lower since)
Liv Tyler 5'10" 150
Kate Winslet 5'8" 155?
Nicole Kidman 5'10" 105 (RIDICULOUS)

Oh, and Mary-Kate is definitely under 90. I would put her at 85ish.
I think Jessica Simpson varies as well. Sometimes she looks a good 110 - 115. And the other day I saw her and she was like teeny-tiny!!!!

That sounds weird...because I am 2 inches shorter and 13lbs heavier and I wear a size 4! I am proud to say what I weigh since I just lost 15 lbs on the South Beach Diet!!

I guess it depends on your body shape/measurements!

Agreed. I definitely carry my weight in my hips. Oh well.

Me too. I mean I read my share of People and Us Weekly to know what is going on with the stars, but why do you all care how tall and how heavy/thin these women are? I really hope you're not striving to be like them, especially someone like Mary Kate Olsen. I am sure a lot of these women struggle with weight issues and eating disorders and I would bet most also have strict diets and hardcore personal trainers.

Yeah, me too. I kind of thought the original poster was being funny by starting it.

She can't be 120. I'm 5'6" myself, and I'm 130... and while J.Lo definitely looks very good, she is also definitely thicker than I am.

I read somewhere that Jessica Simpson had breast restructuring surgery after losing a lot of weight. When was she so much bigger? She must have lost a LOT to have to have surgery to, uh, well get 'em perky again!

you have to remember too that some of these celebrities may be reported as weighing a certain amount, but they will look different if it is fat weight or muscle weight.

Drew Barymore always looks "heavier" to me than say Brittney Spears, even though they are about the same hieght wieght ratio. Britney has no fat on her at all (last I saw her) and Drew-while looking good-does look much fleshier.

My bestest friend and I are the exact same height and weight but she wears a size smaller usually than I do because she works out and has the flat belly and I sit on my bootie and have the beer belly.

This reminds me off the scene in "Liar, Liar" where Jim Carey is in court cross-examining Jennifer Tilly's character and he loo's at her driver's license and he says, "weight, 105...Yeah in your chest!"

Drew Barrymore recently lost 20+ lbs. She looks much skinnier now. However, in my opinion, she looked great the way she was before she lost - healthy, normal, and natural.
