Jessica Alba wears a girdle and other tidbits from the new issue of ELLE

I just wanted to add that people do what they want because it's their desire and whether we feel it is news worth is not the point. Good publicity and bad publicity have the same effect, it keeps the artist/entertainer etc. fresh in the public eye and that helps them make money; It gives journalist a job and the people the option to care, dismiss or debate it. I feel there are more important issues than this and that is why I felt the need to clear the air.

Give us a break Hollywood and Beauty magazines make us all feel like we need to be a size 0 until we die. They do not point out the air brushing, lipo, botox, GIRDLES, push up bras,plastic surgery they all deny having,having nothing else to do but workout a gym. She had a child welcome to the real world. You change your body dramatically then it is to pop right back OH PLEASE!!!!! We are all tired of those Oh poor little me I have millions and am still so upset over me.

I can't believe that people are soo surprised by the girdle comment. I've been wearing one since I was a teenager and back in the day women used to wear them daily, why do you think they were so vuloptuous.

My sister is a poster woman for why you should wear a girdle after you give birth. when my sister had my nephew she didn't wear one like she should have and she looked really big, but after having my niece she wore one the day she was release and here we are two weeks later she almost back to the size she was before my nephew.

A lot of people don't believe the "wives-tales" about certain things but I do.

Contractions don't really hurt? They feel like cramps! Maybe for 5% of women giving birth, but for the rest of us, it is the most excruciating pain, and it certainly kept me from having more than one child!
And Jessica could've worn a "maternity girdle" during her pregnancy too. That would've made it much easier getting back into shape after the baby was born. It didn't take Heidi Klum very long to get back into shape after her...what...4 pregnancies? But, we are all built differently. Jessica comes from a family who has battled being overweight, so it's probably more difficult for her to bounce back after her body has changed.

Is that why she is a "pin head"?

i will take ya any day Jesica!

Okay I say that you should leave the woman be. If she wants to shave her head like my girl Britney, well guess what?! it's Jessica Alba's problem not yours! All you press people find the stupidest most redicuous things just to make money out of them! why don't you put yourself in the celebrities shoes? quit making up stuff for money! don't let the money control you and turn you into a lier! you have to control the money. And Jessica Alba if you ever get to read this be who you want to be not what people want to see.
LOVE,
your girl maria

another hollyweird spoiled brat. she's in line with baldwin and Whoopie. I used to think maybe they were o.k. people until they startes talking. Now I have absolutely no use for them, they have no clue what reality is. Oh yeah, don't forget that political genius matt damon, because according to him, normal, everyday people are stupid hicks who have no business in politics. I come yo belive that most, not all, but most actors think there poop doesn't stink and they are God's gift. All I can say is I hope is that they are all in California when the BIG One strikes.

How's a girdle so strange? I've worn it w/my 3 babies, my sister wore it, my mother wore it... you can't even tell I have children. Nursing and girdle, tummy all gone after one month (no kidding). Now, my other sister who's a bit relaxed w/the girdle... still has a tummy after 4 months. It works, and is really not as bad one would think. And yes, I slept w/it too.

This story really sucked. Who cares about her wearing a girdle to get
her figure back. Women have been doing that for years. I hope she talks
to her Dr. about her post partum depression. That's important.

Wow. I cannot beleive the things some people here are saying. You hate her? What has she ever done to you? Jealous any? I think so. While she is not my favorite, I applud her for working hard to lose the weight and not having lipo. And those who say she is whinning, she was not. She simpily was doing an interview. The author was the one who was all sad about it- not here. If you don't want to know what she said, don't read the article. And you call her stupid? I would say she is smarter than some here.

she is a very good actress and a great person. I wish her the very best.

Her life is her looks...she has made a whole career of it. Let's give her a little privacy and try to understand why she is so stressed out about this.

how sad

What message is that putting out there for those who love Jessica Alba? I don't find her "crying work out" or "sleep in a girdle" interview very positive. For Shine to write - become an "Alba fan" only shows that Shine advocates such messages to women too.

She must have a high tolerance for pain! When i was in labor in no way did contractions feel like bad cramps.In all honesty i thought something else was wrong because of how painful it was.To me it felt like my insides were being twisted and ripped apart.
Maybe i just cant handle pain aswell as i thought i could? :P
My son was born on the 6th of january and when i lose 12 more pounds ill be at pre-baby weight.I gained 45 pounds while pregnant too and im already almost down to pre-baby weight.Yea first time i did sit ups hurt like heck and i was hurting for a couple days.I stoped doing them for like a week and now i do atleast 200 everyday.The thing is if you have the will power to do it then you will.I started doing sit ups 2 1/2 weeks after my son was born.

I like her but she's been through enough? How many times has she been in battle having to kill or be killed? How many of her friends came back in body bags. Has she got three bad disks in her back a bad knee and a numb ankle from "friendly fire"? I like her but I now hate the writer!

ADOPT !!!

Bad cramps Bull. I gave birth 3 times it's more then bad cramps. Can you say "back labor"

Ugh! don't know how she wore a girdle. After my daughter was born I had on elastic waisted shorts that were a little too tight and it was painful. My labor was a lot worse than bad cramps. Must be nice.
