A while back, Jennifer Love Hewitt was photographed in a bikini at the beach looking something like the tide washed in after a tsunami and the whole world gawked and pointed and laughed at those pictures causing everyone to collectively say “What the fuck happened to her?!” I said the exact same thing when I saw her gelatinous cellulite, flabby arms, and pot belly. How could one of the hottest teen stars that became the object of every man’s fantasy because of her tight little body and perfect pert boobs allow to let herself go like that? Well, that was then, and these Maxim pics are now.

It only took her about over a year, but she made good on her promise of shedding 18 pounds and trying to get back to her old hot self. And that she did. And to celebrate-slash-presswhore her achievement, she’s plastered all over the pages of the May issue of Maxim gracing the cover and showing a lot of skin. Well, maybe not a lot but enough to let you see the difference.

Now, I know what you’re wondering - good dieting or good photoshopping? While the only way we can know for sure of the latter is if the unretouched photos get leaked online, but to be honest from that I can see, it looks legit. Several candid pics of her out and about have shown a decrease in her ass and thigh size, and her boobies look better than ever. I suppose getting it on with fellow Ghost Whisperer star Jamie Kennedy agrees with her since she looks awesome now. This is the Jennifer that I know. From Party of Five to those I Know What You Did Last Summer movies, she’s shows a rockin’ body and awesome boobies. She may have looked like a lumpy heffer in the past, but I think she’s gotten back at being the object of jack-offs by horny men everywhere. See more of hot Jennifer and other sexy celebs right here.
