I guess being buff got good to her.

Yes, Grandmaster, I appreciate that some of the photos I've put on this thread are paparazzi-type.  To be quite honest, I'm a great big hypocrite about this – I dislike the way in which the shots are obtained, but some of the best shots of Jess looking buff are obtained in this way.  The latest photos, however, are screenshots from an appearance Jess made on MTV shortly after Blade Trinity posing with a bow and arrow, showing-offher sexy arms and shoulders 8).
As for your comment "buff got good to her", I'm not sure exactly what you mean – from what I've read, when she started "The Illusionist", the director banned her from the gym because her shoulders looked too muscular for the frocks she'd be wearing.  I've read quotes from her where she says how she missed the musculature after she had to let some of it atrophy for "The Illusionist", so it's fairly obvious that she enjoys being strong, but I wouldn't say that its helped her career; probably the opposite, in fact.

Too big for frocks? Bah! Russian women know all about hard labor! That director must be a pider, nyet?

Looking at the last ones in the series where she's packed up and apparently leaving the beach, she looks extremely pissed (even behind the shades, her body language says, "Die, f*****s!")

That's exactly what "buff got good to her" means. She's feeling herself. Okay, I'll stop with the slang now–it means she likes how she looks and feels. If anything, that's what "matters" to me–I could care less about her career…

…but I wouldn't say that its helped her career; probably the opposite, in fact.

In all fairness, an actor's appearance can adversely affect the perception of a character (Audience: "Why is she afraid of this guy?! She's bigger than he is!" [To the screen]: "Kick his @$$, honey?!"), so a director's aversion to a physically impressive actress can't always be considered chauvanism.

1./ I don't imagine for one second that she lacks the ovaries to confront these sorts of things.  She strikes me as being a confident person – that's one of the reasons I find her so sexy.

2./ Hee, like it!

3./ Neither could I – I've only ever seen a few minutes of one of her early (pre-buff) films on TV here in the UK, and that was before I knew who she was.  I just think that her attitude is so refreshing for the US film industry, and the fact that she's buff and beautiful doesn't exactly harm matters… 8)

4./ That's exactly what I meant.  The factor with "The Illusionist" was that it was a costume drama, so Jess with big delts would have looked a bit out-of-place in 1900 Vienna (where the film was set).

Being "constantly" followed around and photographed (on one's downtime) would eventually wear on anyone, formidible eggs or no. 😀 I'm not suggesting Biel's any kind of frail flower (psychologically), and I understand that suffering the paparazzi is considered the price of fame in most circles, but man, it's got to get tiring…

Agreed, we've got a BIG problem in the UK with Prince William's girlfriend being followed everywhere by the scum.  She's newsworthy because Royal romances and engagements are important for the future of the Monarchy.  If things follow the normal pattern, in another 25 years or so, she could be Queen Consort to William's King.
I stress that I'm not particularly interested in the Monarchy – what may seem to US readers as detailed knowledge is paltry compared to the insight and analysis that those obsessed with the Royal Family have – the so-called "Royal watchers".  When you consider that BBC News (and indeed ITV as well, which is our biggest commercial channel) has a dedicated Royal correspondant, and that the last BBC one (the recently-retired Jennie Bond) became a minor celebrity because of many years standing outside Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Sandringham (which is only 35 or so miles from where I live), shows how much of a part of many people's perception of current affairs the Royals really are.  Fett, Kulli or any of the other UK members of Amaz0ns will no doubt confirm that us Brits tend to obsess about the lives of the Windsors to an often unhealthy degree, both for them and us.

Hollywood Tuna and Egostatic.com have posted new Jessica pics. They're still talking trash over her physique. One of them compared her tush to Jessica Alba. Personally I don't see a big difference. Alba's petite body isn't anything to get excited over.  But the shot over her arms are delicious!

I rather wish I hadn't decided to look-up the posts on the sites you mentioned, Holliday.  Thanks for mentioning new Jess stuff, but really… what is the guy who runs "Hollywood Tuna" on?  Masculine figure?! ??? ::) >:(  Where????  And to say that she's probably gay because of this perceived masculinity (shock, horror, she's fit, she's strong, she's not a waif; heck, she's got muscles! Oh noes!) is ridiculous and prejudiced.  I know I've speculated as to her sexuality before, but that's mostly based on the opinions of gay women on a website, who are convinced that Jess is gay.  Personally, I couldn't care.  She's still beautiful, buff and a fantastic role-model.  And she's MUCH hotter than Alba (whoever she is).

They're scared, cpbell. It's almost funny. They're scared of this pretty "girl" with muscles. I don't know why. Is it because they don't have any, and thus she is "more of a man" than they? "She's huge!" ::) Despite their fear, she must still be attractive to them–or else they would ignore her. It's one thing to not be attracted to physically strong women or women with apparent muscularity (diffrent things turn peoples' cranks), but it's another thing to ridicule someone out of fear and ignorance (simply not knowing)–as these "pop culture commentators" do to Evangeline Lilly from Lost, Serena Williams, and surely others.

You know if these folks saw Biel in person, they'd be running her down for an autograph, at the very least, the hypocrites.

I'd like to collectively grab these nitwits by the shoulders and shake some sense into them, screaming "Stop being afraid, people!" at the top of my lungs!
