It’s no secret to me that Jennifer Lopez is delusional, that she thinks she’s God’s gift, that she spends her time wondering aloud about what it will be like when she wins her long-awaited Oscar, that she’s a narcissistic diva. All that being said, I kind of enjoy Jennifer Lopez, much in the same way I enjoy Gwyneth Paltrow. They’re fun because they are so delusional.
Anyhoodle, Jennifer gave an interview to Us Weekly where she kind of went off on how great her figure is. She announced to the mag: “My abs are pretty flat for having twins!” When asked how, Lopez replied: “Nothing crazy. It’s about being consistent. That’s it. You have to put the work in. It’s true I could serve coffee using my rear as a ledge, but I’m proud of my butt. A dress shouldn’t look like a coat hanger. Skinny girls miss out.” Okay, Jennifer. We get it. You’re still amazing! What’s weird is that Jennifer’s delusional behavior seems to have rubbed off on Jennifer’s new friend and “designer” Victoria Beckham:
They’re both multi-tasking moms and wives, fashion icons, and pop music veterans, but Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez share one more thing in common, believe it or not: dress sizes!
Although Lopez as is famous for her curves as Beckham is for her rail-thin frame, Beckham tells 10 magazine (via The Cut) that they actually fit into the same dresses.
Discussing her fashion line to the magazine, Beckham, 34, says, “My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore.”
Posh herself sounds as surprised as anyone, adding, “Who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!”
The British star doesn’t note what that exact dress size is.
Even with three sons underfoot, Beckham has said frequently that she still hits the gym seven days a week. “I run so quick after a double espresso, my [sneakers] are on fire! They have sparks!” she says.
Ryan Seacrest, who worked alongside Beckham when she was a guest judge on American Idol, observed that she eats “perfectly… [she says], ‘I’m getting the steamed this, the steamed that.'”
By contrast, Lopez told Allure magazine recently, “I’m not the monster I used to be in the exercise department…You get past your 20s, you’ve got kids…you’re kind of unmotivated. You want to be healthy and look good, but you want to do the least amount to maintain that.”

Now, I am not saying that Jennifer is big – she’s not. She has a very healthy, lovely figure. I’m just saying that there is no way in hell that Lopez and Posh are the same size. Victoria Beckham is so, so tiny. She’s gaunt! She wears corsets to give herself a waist circumference in the teens! How could they wear the same size? Ugh.
By the way, here’s Jennifer Lopez’s latest single, “Everybody’s Girl” – just released yesterday. Will this beat out the now-classic single “Louboutins”?

Bwuahahaha. Uhh, hahaha. :snicker:
They should create a fragrance together. It’ll smell like shit and be called “Delusional.”
She’s in shape, I’m sure, but Jen has some tree trunk legs and the same big butt she always has had. Beckham has no butt, a child’s waist size and boobs she bought a while ago.
Yeah. Same size.
bwahahahahah
that’s awesome. I remember trying on my tiny cousins dress once, the rest of the girls looked on in shock because I appeared so much bigger (I’m not just 6 inches taller)but nope, not quite ready to buy that Posh & JLO fit in the same anything. Now JLO & Mariah…
Well I believe that Victoria fits in J.Lo’s dresses, but the other way around…?
The mirror @ Posh Mansion must be pretty F#cked up.
Well… if those wax figurines are true to size, Jlo is teeny tiny and all ass. (hey I was on vacay and we had to entertain the kids!)
Granted some are really cheezy looking, but fun to see. And please someone tell me the name of that museum I totally spaced on the name.
Hmmm…I think Victoria’s remarks reflect her good business sense. She wants to sell her clothing line–especially to celebrities (free publicity)–and she knows that Jennifer is a extravagant spender. Flattery will get you everywhere when big egos are involved!
No. Just no. J-lo is curvy and V is pin thin. But they both wear their looks well for the most part. I’ve blocked out J-Lo’s New Years Eve stocking thing-a-jig.
Legs that do not align with the caucasian cooncept of what legs should look like are called tree trunk legs?
This is how I know that my so called white “friends” are snickering behind my back. Giving me compliments, then probably saying, “do you see her tree trunk legs?”
Yeah well the better for us to grip our men’s waist with.
JLo, I am no fan, but cannot hate on your body. Serena, Venus, Dominique Dawes, love your stong, powerful, shapely thighs.
Madame Tussad’s or something like that?
No way are they the same size. Of course the dress she’s talking about could be a shapeless bag. Maybe their heads both fit through the neck hole, but beyond that I don’t buy it. VB is skeletal.
“Who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez?”
She MUST mean HEAD size.
Smart marketing move – appealing to the non-rail-thin demographic. Downright genius.
I definitely wouldn’t put Jlo and VB in the same size category, but no way does Jlo have “tree trunk legs”. Her legs are great, and I think it’s sad that women think legs have to be skinny and unsubstantial to be beautiful. My legs are sturdy and shapely but not at all skinny, nor will they ever be. Not everyone is meant to have toothpick legs.
Yeah right.. these two wear the same sized clothes…. and I’m Lady Gaga.
Lucy2 thank you!!
Maybe Posh has been looking in those funhouse mirrors that make you look all squat…
“Yeah well the better for us to grip our men’s waist with.”
YEAHHHHHHHHHHH! that’s the attitude to have, my large-legged sister!
my legs are also “sturdy and shapely”, erin, and will NEVER be skinny, no matter how many leg lifts or how much running/biking/swimming I do.
I don’t like JLo, but I agree she’s got a nice body.
hmmmm
Well it could work…. one of those great wrap dresses which can be wrapped around JLo once and Mrs. Beckham twice… I can see that happen! 😀
Maybe it will be a new trend… can’t wait to see the dress Mo’Nique and Rachel Zoe get to share!
bitch should steam herself up a personality…
Ms. Beck clearly needs to check out this website:
http://www.mybodygallery.com and get a grip!
anyone can have tree trunk legs or skinny legs – i don’t think it’s a black or white thing. Plenty of skinny black actresses ex. Zoe Saldana
I’d say Lopez is about a size 8.
Beckham looks like a size 0 and she probably has to take those in.
@Praise: “running/biking/swimming” whatcha tri-ing?
Nononono! Posh is the same size as J-Lo’s HUSBAND! THEY can fit into the same dresses. Thought I’d just bring you up to speed.
Oh, for god’s sake. When I posted that JLo’s legs were like tree trunks, I was imagining her in some of Beckham’s pants, which would never happen because her legs are so much larger and muscled than Beckham’s.
Now tell me that her body shape (and her years dancing) gives her long, meatless legs. No. She’s got muscled legs. So what? I never said skinny legs were better or that JLo’s legs were ugly.
@ItsComeToThis – please. I never said that at all and I don’t need you to put words in my mouth. So if you know they’re talking smack about you behind your back, why do you keep your white “friends?”
to Lem…
no, I only WISH I had the stamina (and motivation!) to do that!
I just try to vary my activities, otherwise I get bored. unfortunately, the current weather prevents me from the swimming part – I have to wait for the summer for that!
Beckham must have body dysmorphic disorder if she thinks she is the same size as Lopez. Which would explain a lot – like her need to have plastic surgery and her dieting herself out of existence.
Notice she said “fit into” not “it zipped up” or “the dress looked good on both of us”
what a bitch! you KNOW posh said that in the bitchiest way possible. girlfriend’s got the body image bug right up there with zoe. j.lo will get her for that remark, one way or another. hopefully with some equally backhanded shiz like “oh, im sure my great pal vic meant that in the nicest way – it just came out wrong – she gets a little confused sometimes ever since her 112th plastic surgery, poor dear”.
@ Praise; you can do it! heck if JLO can do it 😉 😉
Lem, true dat! and thanks for your support!
Andrea, exactly! It was a bitchy thing to say. You just KNOW people’s first reaction will be, “OMG, she is soooo much thinner than J-Lo!” And you just KNOW that is EXACTLY what V.B. wants! She’s getting people to reaffirm her own thinness, at J-Lo’s expense. What a bitch. But then, J-Lo aint the greatest person either, so whatever.
“Who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez?”
Leave it to Posh to compliment and insult in the same sentence.
Snowball – on no planet is calling someone tree trunk legs not an insult. Own your statement.
Tree trunk legs might be an insult, but I certainly never thought it was a racially motivated insult?!
I have tree trunk thighs and I’m white. :S
AAAAAH!
anonymei:, you really need to back away from the paint fumes.
Where did I not own my comment? I clarified what I thought may have been misunderstood, but last time I checked, I was allowed to have the opinion that JLo’s legs are solid and muscular, the opposite of Victoria’s bird legs.
Why some are personalizing this, I have no idea. I don’t know what anyone’s legs look like, nor does it matter. If one of us/you doesn’t like someone’s hair or boob job, are we going to have a peeing match because people with similar hairdos and boob jobs are going to take it personally?
That racist stuff is beyond stupid and it’s deliberately inflammatory.
Victoria has serious issues, she must now have body dismorphia (sp)..
seeing something that is not..all that damn lying!
No, no she didn’t mean Jlo she meant to say Marc Anthony! Now they definitely are about the same size, that makes more sense!
Semi Vs. Mini LOL
i think Posh meant to say that she could fit in JLo’s dress. which is literally true.
Posh is definitely NOT the same size as J-Lo. Victoria is too skinny—makes her look almost sick at times!
yeah, wow, what a backhanded comment!!!! although i totally can NOT see them fitting in the same size dress, i will say that dress sizes are weird sometimes and maybe with a little (ok, A LOT) of tailoring and being pulled in at the waist and hips, which im sure she has to have done for most of her clothes, yes…that dress fits her! i think j-lo is probably pretty thin compared to normal everyday person standards, i think she just has that big ol’ luscious butt and hips which give her the appearance of being bigger than she is.
so yes, maybe they wear the same dress size, with some tailoring involved, but there is no way that they wear the same pant or shirt size. i always love it when celebrities like Kelly Osbourne say that they are a size 4dress… yeah, ok, well what size pants do you wear… an 8? a 10? remember, Jennifer Love Hewitt famously wears a size 2 dress…..
and just for shitsngiggles i played that new song….thit song is waaaaaaay better than that other hellonearth single she put out. it’s way more listenable and catchier and her voice sounds much prettier and more youthful…i don’t know who the eff told her to put that other song out first, i think she was hoping for some kind of crazy destiny’s child smash or something. yikes.
whatever…. i still like Victoria than Jlo
If JLo is la chitarra then Posh is la flauta. Side by side they’d look like the number 18. If Becks had a choice who do you think he would prefer to cuddle up next to on those cold winter nights?
That just means that JLo will squeeze her big ass into anything and Beckham’s dresses can accommodate. There must be lots of spandex in those dresses and while on VB it looks body skimming, on JLo it looks likes sausage casing. Just because it fits doesn’t mean it fits correctly.
@ ItsCometoThis
Not all women of color are curvaceous. Furtermore, not all BLACK women are curvaceous. And not all white women are rails. Sudanese and Kenyan woman are example among many who are naturally very lithe.
The operative word missing in the headline is “dress”. Beckham states that she wore the same dress Jennifer wore and was surprised. I don’t see any direct comparisons from Victoria or Jennifer to the two woman’s body sizes. Are there side by side pics of these two women together?
FWIW, pre-twins, Jen was described as being a size 6.
Jennifer lopez thinks she’s God’s gift? She is! Her voice is a 10, her body is a 10, her face is a 10. She’s the ultimate woman
