We used to feel guilty about posting Jennifer Love Hewitt nude photos. It was like we were exploiting this beautiful actress, treating her like the proverbial piece of mindless meat.

Now, though, we have no qualms advertising those pictures. How come? Because the actress herself recently told Health magazine that she wished she had embraced her naked side more often.

"I wish I had been nude from the time I was 12 until I was 28. I looked great!" the Ghost Whisperer star said in the interview.

JLH, who previously defended women considered to be overweight by the media, seems to be singing a thinner tune now.

"I want to tell all young girls to walk around in bikinis all summer, because there will be that one day in your twenties when you'll eat a hamburger and actually see the hamburger on the side of your leg," joked the star, who is engaged to Scottish actor Ross McCall.
