What celebrity body would you like to work towards having? This can be a realistic goal or just wishful thinking.

• Salma Hayeck
  
• Queen Latifah
  
• Nicole Richie
  
• Angelina Jolie

Sara Rue ... Queen Latifah ... Mia Tyler (liked when she went up against this stupid doctor on a weight show she was on on VH1 ... she gave him hell). I see these as realistic goals for myself, but I also like Emme and what she stands for which I've also heard from the others. Little background from her bio:

Emme’s (pictured) views set a new standard of beauty both here and abroad. Emme proved that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes when she penned her first book TRUE BEAUTY (Putnam/Perigee) in 1997. Emme is a vocal advocate for women and men of all ages to be fit and healthy. Her message is aimed at increasing awareness and raising funds to help treat eating and body image disorders. She was the first model to speak to these issues before a congressional sub-committee in Washington, D.C. Says Emme, "We live in a society that is based upon the attainment of unrealistic beauty. I want women to know their self-esteem is not contingent upon their dress size."

But I started thinking about some curvy stars that I think would be a reachable goal for me ... Kathy Najimy (pictured), Jane Moheit (jazz singer), Kirstie Alley (now), Nia Vardolos (My Big Fat Wedding) ... and how can we forget Oprah? Okay .... I'm going to stop talking now ... :blah:

Ya, I'd have to say at MY age, 42, I like a shape with a little more meat. I agree with the Sara Rue. She is just stunning.

For me and most of us, a hollywood body is just unrealistic. But IN MY DREAMS, I love Sophia Loren's shape. She has never been tooooooooooo skinny.

I just thought of another celebrity who is absolutley stunning and has had a child and does no exercise and makes me ill because of it but her beauty just crosses out all of that...and all I can say is WHOA! Plus her ex is a hottie too (Hugh Grant)........

Elizabeth Hurley

And this is after the baby....are you not sick?? :omg:

I chose Selma too! Love to be "thick" in all the right places instead of being "thick" everywhere, I've got the booty and boobies, now I just need a waist again, lol!

Wasn't Mia in the low 200's and ended up like 190 on that VH1 Fit Club show? I think shes about my height too. So I do think shes very pretty, my goal is 165.

This is so funny - I didn't even SEE nicole richie when I first looked at the pics - she looks awful to me - i like curves!

i want beyonce's bod

I want Jenny McCarthy's body....

Couldn't resist this here.....

errrrmmmmmmm....

If I had to chose from those 4, I'd pick Salma too.

I do love Sara Rue.... but she's lost weight, and it just ain't the same anymore.

I voted Queen Latifah because that's the closest to how I'm built anyway. I could never be a Salma Hayeck because I'm just too tall to be curvy like that.

Nicole Ritchie, ugh. And Angelina Jolie is a freaked out weirdo who looks OK photographed and airbrushed but in real life is skin and bones.

So I'd like to be Queen, but maybe another 20lb lighter.

I dont want to be perfect, I'm quite fine with looking like a 39 year old mother of 3. I just want to be healthy and beautiful in my own way.

I would go for Queen. I do not want to be a waft like Richie but still have some padding on me. Now Petite I could go for.

Argon, wow Sara Rue is very skinny now. I liked her better in the first picture. The 2nd picture makes her look hungry. I don't wanna look hungry. I want to be slender but at the same time have hips, breasts and

I think I'd 'adjust' to a body like Sara's much easier than any of the others. It's also more realistic a goal for most of us. And she is a cutie, besides!!

I've been trying to think of someone else..it's very disheatening how few "normal" -size celebrity role models there are out there. It's interesting that three of the most popular personalities, though, are all normal size or normal-plus......Ellen DeGenreus, Rosie O'Donnel, Oprah Winfry. Hmmmm....
