Julia Louis-Dreyfus has crazy tight abs. Did not see that coming.

February 25th, 2009 // 137 Comments

Here’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the April cover of Shape, and I can’t believe she’s 48. Sure, there’s been some airbrushing, but at this point I’d like to welcome back my Elaine Benes crush. Hopefully, it’s not still mad at me for shoving it down the stairs for Melissa Joan Hart circa 1999.

UPDATE: It’s got a gun!

    it’s not her abs, it’s new low body fat percentage. Everyone’s got abs, you just can’t see them because of the guts people have.

    No doubt that the cover’s been retouched.
    All magazine cover photos are retouched.

    Julia has well defined abs and odds are good that those are authentic.
    They might be more defined than what you see on the cover,
    as most photos of women are retouched in the abdominal area
    to make them look softer and curvier.

    p.s. – I’d hit that.

    I’ve always thought she was pretty, but I’m confused by the feelings I have for this picture. Is it her head? Smile? The yellow sweater? Blue shorts? Seriously something doesn’t seem right here & I just can’t put my finger on it.

    I grudgingly admit that I subscribe to Shape, and can you believe the bullshit they tried to pull in March 09′s issue? Check it: Editor’s note: “We NEVER alter any Shape model’s body–including those on our cover. The women we feature put a lot of hard work into staying healthy and should be given the credit they deserve.”

    That was in the “Readers Speak out” part, and I was sort of flabbergasted because it was fucking obvious they airbrushed Jamie Presley on the cover (she’s cool, though, she probably didn’t need too much work). Then the editor’s letter went on to state that the celebrities’ bodies are never tampered with.

    What do YOU think?

    Petite chicks age the best. As long as they don’t get fat, there’s really no place for their junk to go.

    “give me some of that Seinfeld money and I’ll spend my day in the gym, too.”

    No you won’t. You’re lazy. And fat. And stupid.

    That’s why you don’t have Seinfeld-type money in the first place.

    She was so insecure about her body on Seinfeld. From what she wore, you didn’t have the slightest idea what her body looked like. I guess you were supposed to look at her hair.

    Go for the big boob/big butt chicks on one night stands, but marry the skinny petite chick. In ten years you won’t have to look away when she gets undressed.

    oops, sorry ’bout that! @#16, I read that, too. It seems a pretty bold thing to claim if it isn’t true, especially since there are so many people involved in the editing process that easily call them out. I don’t think they alter the actual shape, but DO airbrush blemishes, etc.
