JENICE: I opened up last week's "InTouch" magazine and saw a piece on how the stars get skinny for the Oscars. (I think it was Charlize Theron who said she ate just two small meals a day.) Our culture is obsessed with being thin. And if you're not strongly rooted in your own self worth, it would be easy to get caught up in the madness.

THERESA: I actually thought some of the stars at the Oscars looked more healthy than in years past, not so frail and thin. Buxom seems to be making a comeback, probably thanks to the national craze for plastic surgery. What did everyone else think?

JENICE: I loved the way Catherine Zeta Jones looked in that red dress. She wasn't rail thin, but curvy. She really stood out.

LAURIE: I was impressed with Jamie Lee Curtis, who was definitely NOT skinny. (Not to mention falling out of her dress, but I think that's just Hollywood.) Liv Tyler, too. She is a big girl and yet she looks every bit as glamorous as anybody else. And then there was Marcia Gay Harden - very pregnant and proud of it! It's great to see more normal-looking stars. Hope it's the start of an anti-skinny trend. What we see in the movies and on TV is so insidiously influential in how we see ourselves.

YVONNE W: I thought the thinner actresses with champagne colored dress and a little Bling (i.e. Patricia Clarkson, Naomi Watts and arguably Charlize Theron) were stunning. However, my favorite was Jennifer Garner. I love her strong and athletic physique and the wonderful vibrant color (orange) her stylist dressed her in.

Renee Zellweger is still carrying a few extra pounds from her Bridget Jones "gig". She was one of the few if only actresses to wear white. Somehow it worked. So kudos to her also.

Girlfriends, what were your thoughts about body image and all as you watched Sunday's Academy Award show?
