Sanaa Lathan addresses the masses via her blog about how her man loves her body, but the camera ain’t feelin’ it too much:

today is the day! i’m starting a 1200 cal diet plan. its feb 2nd, one month later than i originally intended. jan 2nd was the original date, but that never happened, obviously. i said to myself, ‘who cares about a diet?! history is being made, obama! obama! obama!’ as i went to one more celebratory dinner. i can still get into my skinny jeans, but they sho is tight! i gotta say i like my body this way, a little curvier, with more to hold onto and my man is not complaining, he’s very vocal about how he LOVES it. its that camera, that damn camera that adds 10 pounds and NOW the flat screen tv’s that tend to add another 10 pounds, that get me. i refuse to succumb to the fashionista pre-pubescent boy-look trend that is so prevalent. but the rock shirmp tempura has got to go, for now. : (

Does Sanaa need to shut the heck up with the chunky monkey talk, or can she actually stand to drop a few lbs??

  • Aunt Viv

    I think Sanaa looks great.

  • http://www.balleralert.com BallerAlert

    She looks fine but HOllywood might think otherwise..good luck.

  • http://www.gmail.com Man, I just don’t care

    I love this woman… LOL at her “man” liking her body. Nigga please.

    She looking good and tastey though…

  • Oh No

    So basically she is trying to lose 20lbs or more to look thin on camera? That is great and all but it truly shows how F-UP Hollyweird is.

    Also, who is her man?

  • Sawyer

    Her body aside, she has acting chops so people will support her movies based off that more than her body!

  • Eye

    Actually, she could afford to loose a few pounds. On camera, it is best to be in tip top shape with no extra handles. If it were everyday average, she would be fine, but this is for the camera’s. You really do want to look your best.

    not feeling this outfit, but I’m loving the makeup…

  • Glok9n: The real glok !!!

    MMMM DAMN I WANNA FUK THIS GAL SOOO BAD! THAT LAST PIC GOT ME READY TO JACK THE FUK OFF! THEM TITZ FROM THAT SIDE VIEW LOOKZ SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

  • AVASCOTT

    She is absolutely gorgeous…..Hollywood is a crazy place…but I look heavier in pics too…so she’s doing what makes her happy..I”v already started my spring workout..a mile a day around the job….thirty minutes on the bike during my favorite tv show and way more fruits and veggies…You know how we feel when the weather breaks and your not ready….

  • Soulwoman

    Is it really neccessary to blog about this? Get over yourself Sanna.

    Furthermore, she isn’t making sense. If she loves her body why do you . What she is saying is that she is trying to fit into the Hollywood mold, even though she is denying it. Meagan Good made a similar comment when she gained weight. She said she didn’t have a problem with it but the producers would tell her when she went on auditions to loose weight.

    I’m so sick of these Hollywood chicks telling women to love themselves yet they are always trying to change who they are.

    p.s. Sanna is dating Adewale Oguynleye. He plays for the Chicago Bears.

  • Tealeaf

    I wish she could get some better roles, I think she is very talented.

  • Nodonna

    Sanaa is fabulous! It’s sad that Hollywood puts more of a premium on the way a camera interprets curves than actual talent; which Ms. Lathan has in abundance.

  • QUEENB

    @ Oh No

    adewale ogunleye

  • maureen

    She just needs to tone up. Loosing 20lbs would make her skinny..loosing 10 would make her toned and hot.

  • Soulwoman

    She don’t need to loose weight, she just needs to tone up.

  • Rhea

    I have always loved Sanaa, she looks great just the way she is. But if she feels she needs to drop a few pounds for work purposes, then she has got to do what she has got to do.

  • Mrs. Rance

    Too bad she didn’t mention what size she wears. Judging by how she looks in pics I’m gonna say she is a size 6 tops. The camera really does add the pounds and I think it’s more than 10. I’d rather see her stand tall. To hell with what the camera says. People are not supposed to be starving themselves and if that is what it takes to maintain that Hollyweird weight then it’s Hollyweird that’s wrong not the actors and actresses.

  • Pimpin Willie Dynamite Supertight (Favor Gonna Kill You Faster Then A Bullet)

    Damn Sanaa, The finest sista on TV in my opinion…

  • http://Bossip The Admiral

    The only pounds she needs to worry about is me poundin her out.lol…She is a beautiful sister and I’m glad she isn’t into the Hollywierd lifestyle.

  • http://www.hoodiashop.com/a/4061 Christy

    I don’t think she should focus on pounds.. She should work out and eat right. but 1200 calories a day to lose is drastic.. That’s if you are really like 40lbs overweight and trying to lose it all in 3 months and you have to keep that eating style up.. If she eats good with a personal trainer she’ll have lean muscle mass and look flawless!!

  • Truthful

    Hmmmmm
    first she needs to be truthful and say she is into women, that baller has moved on if she is referring to him.

    Once that blind item came out last week, it was predicted she would either flaunt a new man or pretend to have one.

    be who you are…

    “her man loves it… right” cute chick but sooo bi-polar.

    Those anti depressants put a ittle weight on, so I have heard..

    why would she need to bog about this ..ya ain’t fooling alot of us girl.

    ask Regina, if you’re too thick

    hee, hee

  • aletha

    Yes about 20 is good. Yes she is hot but lets face it, hollweird likes em skinny and so do we. I love curvy but for movies nah

  • justhafacts

    I personally think she’s one of the most beautiful, under rated black actresses out there. She’s fine just like that. I like being a curvy 8-10 as well.

  • emmy

    she’s beautiful. she just needs to learn how to not be wooden on screen. she has some acting chops, but she doesn’t use them very well…of course that could be a director’s problem for not directing her well.

  • Colonel StinkMeaner

    DAMN SHE FINE…………………

  • Honeybunz

    Hollywood is dangerous..i’ve seen Sanaa Lathan in person and she is already small..if she loses more than 10 pounds she’d be bordering on anorexic..this is the mess that causes body distortion imaging in our children!

  • Compton Cutie

    I Think Sanaa is one of the most talented actress I have seen in a long time.

    But she is also very beautiful, which is part of her appeal. Hollywood is Hollywood, if she wants to keep working she must go on a diet.

  • ms meca

    gorgeous and talented!!!

    and she doesnt need to lose any wait ..

  • Mucky

    Sanaa is so gorgeous that she got me rubbing my balls underneath my desk and I’m at work!

  • ms meca

    lol@ mucky

  • And…

    Bet she’s a 4 or a 6 at the most.

    Girl stop.

    She’s around 5’7…

    What is she saying?

    It’s not her size, it’s how she’s shaped.

    Stubby arms, legs, hands & fingers.

    Her weight isn’t the problem, its her proportions.

    Before she knows it she’s going to be a bobblehead trying to look lean.

    Don’t force it honey….

    _____________________

    LOL @ body distortion imaging…you sound like a special effects person in Hollywood.

  • exotica

    Unfortunately, that’s how Hollywood is and if you want to get work as an actress you have to play the game.

  • And…

    @ Honeybuns…

    I know right. Celebs are usually a 2-6, 8 is pushing it and 10 is considered plus sized.

    They’re all really little and petite – ranging from 5′ to 5’5.

    It’s easy to look thick or like you have a big booty when you’re short or carrying 10 pounds on a small frame.

    All those “bangers” and “video vixens” are damned near midgets.

    Booty, tits & hair…on a cabbage patch.

  • Nigga Said

    Instead of losing weight I suggest gaining a few pounds a pick roles accordingly. Read scripts for characters suchs as ” Thick ass Keisha” or ” a stripper named Lollipop” or a biopic about a video girl named “Bambi the Body” loosely based on the life of Buffy the Body. These could be Oscar worthy roles for Sanaa.

  • WTF?

    WTF?!? EHR THUMBS ARE REDICULUSLY SHORT IT ERKS ME TO LOOK AT THEM. LOL

  • Kevin

    If she wants to drop some, i don’t mind catching a few with my tongue

  • http://www.gmail.com Man, I just don’t care

    Nigga said “right” on this one bruh!! Co sign 1000%. You should be her agent cause I would def go see that shit.

  • Roe ski Love -SIX BURGH PA

    I will lick the brown off of that girl.

  • NotoriousOne~

    I’ma hafta agree w/ maureen and soulwoman on this one!! She just needs to tone up so losing 10 lbs will do the trick. No sense in going overboard cause it’s not like Hollyweird is gonna give her the plum roles anyways. Oh, but losing 10 lbs would make her tone and HOTTER maureen!!

  • inmystateofmind

    she talks about having a man but i always see her take photos with her home girls, i think she single, and she need to h0lla at me!

  • z

    All these experts on here…

  • Nina Knows

    LMAO @ these pervs in here… yall nasty.

  • fee

    This broad is soooooooo irrelevant. Wake me when she gets some major roles like, Taraji Henson. Or however, you spell her name…..She just needs to sit her NON-HOLLYWOOD HAVING ROLES ASS DOWN!!!! NEXT>>>>>

  • tg

    She looks great – but if she wants to succumb to that Hollywood BS of being a size 0 – more power to her. If she doesn’t mind looking like a bag of bones for the camera, then I guess that’s her will. But it’s not attractive at all.

  • Nina Knows

    ooooh I see a hater… Im telling

    everybody know sanaa been fine from day one.. get over it.

  • HoneyBrown

    Girl don’t believe the hype!!! You look gorgeous and the last thing we need is another chick with bones protruding all over the place. Be the beautiful black queen you are!

  • And…

    @ WTF?

    You are right, those thumbs are scary.

    Short wide nailbeds….(chills)

    I think she was almost a midget.

  • the_one

    SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, I STILL LOVE MY EX BOYFRIEND FOR SAYING I REMIND HIM OF HER. SHE IS GORGEOUS THE WAY SHE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN FOR MAN TO BE CONTENT, PLEASE BUMP HOLLYWIERD.

  • the_one

    FEE DRANK THAT HATERATION THIS MORNING AND IS CHOKIING ON IT< DAMN, SWALLOW NEXT TIME.

  • frida

    I think she looks perfect the way she is. I don’t
    think she should lose any weight. Why mess with
    perfection?

  • http://bossip.com/68766/showdown-in-motown-katt-williams-vs-steve-harvey/#comments me01

    she looks good, educated and working and she’s dating a nice guy. this is what i’m talking about my sister, do your thing.

  • niasia

    She looks like a beautiful Black woman…but in hollywood well that is not really in. In my humble opinion I think she is just stunning. And I am a black woman and I can say that!

  • Sonny

    on the real her backside and thighs are probably cottage-cheesed up so she should definitely go on the diet.

  • Honeybunz

    @Exotica and Reese for real tho..thats the problem..black ppl are underrepresented in Hollywood and when they do get jobs they shouldnt have to conform to a white person’s standard of size..sista’s most of the time have different proportions..there is nothing wrong with Sanaa the way she is..and for our young women looking at this imagery it makes them feel like they have to conform to these standards..which in most cases are achieved by unhealthy techniques.

  • Honeybunz

    and trust i say this from having seen alot of these ppl in person…they are little as heck when u see them….Sanaa being one of them..

  • WordtotheWise

    I think she looks great, and shouldn’t give in to Hollywood’s version of “the perfect weight.” What I have noticed is a trend with black people buying into Hollywood’s version of fat. Sanaa, do you, baby girl. If you and your man like your body, THAT’S all that matters.

  • candy

    1.i dont think she said that. Sanna dont look like she talk like that.

    2. who is her man??

  • Juicy and Intelligent

    She looks great! I love how she doesn’t have that look of desperation that some hollywood celebs have on their faces. If I were a man I would have a boner. Sanna don’t lose a pound 45mins elliptical 5days week. No meat or high fructose unnatural processed foods.

    Those midnight weed munchies will catch up to ya.

  • Moreaces

    69

  • TheGoodGood

    She could loose a few, she’s young, she’s thicker than Gab and her other friends we get that but she needs to tone up, hre cheeks are so much bigger than in Love and Basketball..

    I’m not a fan of hers mostly because she can’t dress and shes a boring actress.. she needs a new image that’s for sure.

  • Its6amHoGetOut (fresh from Vegas)

    By Hollywood standards she does need to drop 15 lbs, but all that takes a back seat to those “alien stubby midget ass thumbs” get that sh*t fixed first then worry about the weight!

  • Ermy Erm (The Chi is Ice Cold, 3 more days left CWTF)

    She looks Grrreat, however Hollywood is a beast, and the camera can be crule even when it is not telling the truth..

  • E$

    In honor of blk history month, I won’t be rude to my black queen. She would have bags under her eyes messing with me

  • *Treasure*

    If she wants good acting roles she should lose about 10 to 15 pounds.

  • WTF?!?

    SHE STILL IS FINE. BUT I LOOK AT HANDS LIKE MARCUS GRAHAM LOOKED AT FEET AND IF I MET HER AND THEN I NOTICED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BREAK OUT. LOL

  • BlahBlah

    She looks great as is. No weight loss necessary. Although she needs some more support in the 3rd pic.

  • Razzell Dazzell

    Absolutely not! Sanna is beautiful, but it’s her self perception, so I won’t impede in her actions. Sanna knows what’s best for her, so I’ll leave it alone. Either way, she is still beautiful, intelligent, and classy.

  • Sim1

    Sanaa looks great. BUT she is an actor and knows the business. And the fact is, the camera DOES add pounds and who should know better than her what she needs to do to stay on top of the game? I am sure she is confident with her size off the camera, but again, as an actor myself I get where she is coming from.

  • The truth

    what man, the one who cheats on her and tells every lady he sleeps with he loves their body???? Sanaa needs to wake up and dump his ass. He’s no good. I wish someone can put him on blast.

  • JillyBean819

    “Sanaa Lathan to Drop a Few For the Camera”

    Drop a few what? drop it like it’s hot? Drop some rhymes? drop some money on a new stereo system? what?
    They can’t hardly be asking homegirl to lose weight b/c her size is absolutely perfect, IMO.

  • Jody

    She doesn’t need to lose any weight. She looks great and she has a grown woman’s body. Everybody not size one.

  • lanette

    I think she is pretty. classy lookin to…

  • balaramesh

    sanna is a BEAST. not many chicks i’d pick over her if any.

  • Tanya

    girl your jeans do not lie, if they are feeling so tight yes u need to shed a few. It is easy to get comfortable with this new curvier u and then in no time it is out of control. Been there.

  • JUDY

    chunky monkey????? Whats up the chunky monkey Bossip? Are you all comparing her to a chunk monkey?? Bossip needs more black editors!!
    Anyway,Sanaa looks beautiful. Im surprised that she consumes over 1200 calories anyway, you know how those hollywood types are.

  • darealwifey

    She is beautiful. Not one thing wrong with her. Gone, Sanaa, girl. You know we love you.

  • reese615

    ________________

    Judy, your name is Judy. Am I to assume you are white?? What in the heck does using a term like chunky monkey have anything to do with editors being black? Please go back and re-read the commentary. It was only like a sentence long, Love. I believe (wink) that Bossip was merely saying “is Sanaa out of her mind with the silly talk.” That’s all. You’re putting too much emphasis on nothing. And I assure you that all of the Bossip editors are black. If you need to, refer to all the other posts, especially the most recent one reading “Someone We Actually Like…”

  • Boo

    I don’t think Sanaa wrote that. I mean, look at the grammar. It is horrible. The girl has a masters degree. I don’t think she would write something that grammatically incorrect. She looks good the way she is. Don’t lose weight.

  • reese615

    LMAO @ Boo

    Man, that shit was funny.

  • Lala

    Sanaa if you lose 10 pounds you are going to look sick. You are to tall to be that thin. Just tone up, and don’t worry about the camera. Oh, and who is this man that likes your body? Is it still Wale? Everybody wants to know?

  • Boo

    LMAO, what do you think? I don’t think she would be that desparate as to write something like that on a blog. You know how Bossip is. They’ll do anything. Why would they put that old picture of her? They take pictures of her everyday, so why use this one that was taken in Dec. Go to Wireimage.com. You’ll see when this photo was taken. All the other Celebs must be working because they are wearing her out.

  • Boo

    I’m sorry this was to Reese615. Hollow back.

  • reese615

    Man, I gotta take offense to “Bossip will do anything.” That ain’t true. Click on the source thing…that shit is as legit as legit gets, internet-ly speaking, that is.

    I know when the pic was taken…it’s all about the story, pimpin’. Don’t tell anyone.

  • Boo

    You’re right. Internet-ly speaking, and we know how that can be!!!! I’m out have a nice evening from the Dirty South!!!

  • WWOD (What Would Obama Do?)

    She has always been scrump to me

  • daleile555

    Not really sure I’m ok with that!! better ask my friends met on ==== Agelessmate.com ==== know what? I do think people I met there are hot and sincere! Desipte the actual so-called Age Gap, we get along together splendidly!! and I’m even thinking about romance there!! lol

  • TooMuch

    Sanaa if you wrote this, and I don’t think you did. Don’t worry about your weight. You look fine. If you lose anymore weight you will look anarexic.

  • lauren

    LETS BE REAL SHE NEEDS TO LOSE A GOOD 15 TO 20 POUNDS ME AND MY FRIENDS HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS!

    who is her man?

  • caliber

    She looks good now but after she loses a few pounds she will look even better. I’m sure she’s not gonna get “sickly” looking.

  • caliber

    I didnt know she had a blog. Whats the web address for Sanaa’s blog?

  • 7lady

    love sanaa! she looks just fine the way she is. no more no less.

  • We Broke Here, First.

    “He’s very vocal about how he LOVES it.”

    To Sanaa’s boy friend:

    Run Nicca! Run! She throwin the L word around to easy. This time next year she gonna want the ring. SMH “Loves” is in all-caps.

  • STEELERS ALL DAY

    SHE DOES HAVE A NICE BODY AND I DONT THINK ANYBODY CAUGHT IT BUT I SEEN HER NIPPLE IN LOVE AND BASKETBALL AFTER THE PROM SCENE,AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A SHADWOD DEN I SLOWED IT DOWN AND THEN KNEW IT WAS A NIPPLE CAUSE I WAS DROOLING LOL MAN I LUV TIVO

  • Kratos

    As long as she don’t reappear looking like Nicole Ritchie. In Hollywood, I imagine she has to be on point to remain competitive with other actresses.

  • gofigure

    Oh damn this girl is so cute.
    that face is a gem. There are
    LOTS of females built this
    well or better, but that face
    is a GEM.

  • Jade

    She looks good, but she has a big head and if she loses 10 pounds her head will look even bigger.

  • aplus

    Damn, say it ain’t so! Nothing wrong with someone wanting to get more healthy. But damn if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. An awesome ass an body like that don’t need to be messed with far as I’m concerned. Hollywood chicks are generally too skinny for my tastes. Sanaa is one of the few that has a body I truly like. Toning is cool, but damn I hate to see her lose all that beautiful ass. Even Toni Braxton said she missed it when it was gone. Hopefully she won’t get too much smaller. That doesn’t always look right when they lose too much.

  • Lala

    Sanaa you are my favorite actress period. No black or white. Just favorite.
