The A-list ladies looking swell

Being a size 00 may be en vogue among some Hollywood starlets, but voluptuous figures and curvaceous frames are definitely here to stay

Those fuller-figured ladies like Jennifer Lopez and Kate Winslet are making a return to the big screen, and their hourglass figures are turning more heads than their skinny counterparts.

Almost every recent survey (and not just the male-only polls) has concluded that curves rule, and the most desired and desirable feminine physique is a rounded one. If you want proof, look no futher than these hourglass celebrity photos!

Here are some shapely celebrities who are proud of their Rubenesque figures and aren't afraid of using their assets to their advantage

• Jennifer Lopez
• Kelly Brook
• Kate Winslet
• Beyonce Knowles
• Scarlett Johnasson
• Halle Berry

Jennifer Lopez

J-Lo has been credited with changing perceptions of the perfect body with her 36-26-39 form, and regularly tops polls of the sexiest women in the world. The 37-year-old Latina lovely even earned the nickname 'La Guitarra' (meaning the guitar) because of her amazing curves.

Food philosophy

Although she admits she can easily gain weight, 'Jenny from the block' never denies herself anything. 'I eat everything, just not a lot of it,' she says. 'I don't have anything banned from my diet and I'm not one of those health freaks who believes in not eating any sugar or leaving out dairy products. I believe in having a little bit of everything. Like anybody, I indulge once in a while.'

Looking good

'When I was younger, I was into hard, physical exercise, but now what's more important to me is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit,' says Jen. 'I still do weights and cardio, but I try to take a soft, feminine approach. Basically, I'm just like anybody else; you have the body type you have, and you know what you have to do to get in top form. I'm only human, and sometimes I feel like working out, and sometimes I don't.'

Top treats

'I love chocolate-chip cookies with coffee - that makes me feel good. I could eat chocolates like there is no tomorrow, but otherwise, it's Puerto Rican food. That's what I grew up on.'

Kelly Brook

Kelly, 26, who is dating Hollywood hunk Billy Zane, claims to never over-exercise or diet. The 5'8' presenter-turned-actress's vital statistics are an impressive 32E-24-35, and she says she manages to stay in shape through, wait for it, regular sex!

Food philosophy

'I'm a fan of macrobiotics because I love the idea of eating what's growing in your surroundings - seasonal, organic and whatnot,' says Kelly, who was a friend of Madonna's during her relationship with Guy Ritchie's close pal Jason Statham. 'I think I'm different because I'm not one of those skinny girls like Sarah Jessica Parker. They are thin, thin, thin!'

Looking good

The former glamour model has always been proud of her physique. 'I have never been ashamed of my body,' she says. 'Regardless of what hair colour you have, what you look like, what you do for a living even; it's all about how you feel, and about being comfortable in your own skin. I hardly do anything at all to keep in shape. I rarely watch what I eat or go to the gym.'

Top treats

Despite all her talk of healthy eating, Kelly is a junk food fan at heart. 'I really love cheeseburgers, that's my biggest weakness,' she confesses.
