Feb 25 2009Julia Louis-Dreyfus has crazy tight abs. Did not see that coming.

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.
15. Where's Darkwing Duck? - February 25, 2009 12:47 PM
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.
16. Valerie - February 25, 2009 12:51 PM
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?

She and Jennifer Aniston should have a chinfight-to-the-death.

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

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.

50. ConnieCorleone - February 25, 2009 1:53 PM
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.
51. Jrz - February 25, 2009 1:53 PM
#39 is obviously not a Seinfeld fan, Rich.
52. Jrz - February 25, 2009 1:55 PM

Button up your shirt grandma. Yeah photoshop goes well with the lying world we live in. I would let her suck my dick maybe if I was bored. She's really ancient and I never thought of her as "hot" waaaaaaaaaaaay back then even.
73. Heidi - February 25, 2009 3:31 PM
this ain't just a little airbrushing....they brushed the shittt out of her
74. chedda - February 25, 2009 3:47 PM
@66
Every time we tried putting the ball gag on Massa's mom, it kept getting stuck in the gap between her front teeth, and the buckle part got all knotted up in her pelt.
75. RichPort's Ghost - February 25, 2009 3:51 PM
I've never seen a woman braid the hairs on her back, but Massa's mom proves that little things like evolution don't hit everyone 100%. Still, that doesn't explain the dreadlocks on her cooter...
76. Jrz - February 25, 2009 3:57 PM
Chedda. Huh....that's how they say Cheddar in Bah-ston.
77. chedda - February 25, 2009 4:09 PM
@75 Ah, she's a magnificent beast, that one. (hmm, the dreadlocks may serve a purpose-- maybe like what ropes around a tree are to a quicksand pit..?)
@76 Or in tha hood, mebbe? :)

If you've watched "The New Adventures Of Old Christine" you'd know that they wouldn't have had to retouch that cover picture of her. She's shown herself dressed about the same way on the show and she looked awesome there too - even in hi-def.
93. KNIGHTOUTLOOKIN - February 25, 2009 8:52 PM
Probably some airbrushing done here as well, but mostly this looks like a very well done tummy tuck and liposuction. I mean, come on now, Julia is 48 years old and has had 2 kids. I don't believe for a minute that her skin hasn't been pulled, her muscles tightened, and some abdominal fat suctioned out. The girl is well off finanically from her run on Seinfeld, so why not splurge and get the best work possible? I think she looks pretty damn incredible. More power to you Julia.
94. Dan - February 25, 2009 9:07 PM

@16
"We NEVER alter any Shape model's body--including those on our cover"
They're telling the truth: sort of. The writer was obviously asking about airbrushing, but they way they answer is ambiguous. They never alter the Shape model's body. In other words, their body is still the same. The picture of their body, well that might get airbrushed, but their body is still left unchanged. Get it?
And "including those on our cover" is ambiguous. Are they referring to the bodies included on the cover or the model? The model.
In other words, their response literally means "we don't alter the physical body of our models through plastic surgery or some other way, including the models who are featured on the cover" even though it seems like they are claiming they don't airbrush.
That way, the way most people will casually read it they will believe there is no photo-editing involved, but if they were sued because proof was discovered that they do in fact alter the pictures of models that go onto the final cover, their language is ambiguous and vague enough that it wouldn't get them in trouble.

Ummm the reason she has skinny legs and her abs are showing is that she is now a bag of bones. Not impressed with gym rat physiques. Not one bit it aint natural nor to me is it sexy. Looks semi-masculine. I thought she looked sexy years ago when she was a lot heavier.
This is an insane world we live in with the weight lifting chicks and the botox and plastic breasts and the photoshopping.
Everything seems to be a fucking lie.
Look at our economy. It was al based on a lie. Over a quadrillion in derivatives caused by filthy perverted Wall Street and now we the peasant class get to pay the debt caused by the rich.
I wonder how much this old woman is worth for her services to our nation?

I voted for him because he said I won't have to pay rent, buy gas, or pay my bills. So I quit my job at Lamaar's House of Anal Beads, but now my rent is due and I haven't got any money. Has anyone else gotten their "money for a vote" check yet from Biraq Obomma?

We should take pity on Massa/Apes/TomK/bootlips.
How hard it must be to realize that the world has moved on without you, and your racist views are no longer relevant and actually quite backward. You(actually all one person) are now like the crazy homeless guy standing on the sidewalk yelling gibberish at people on their way to somewhere important.
It must be especially painful that President Obama has proven that someone of his background-- with a self-described "funny name"-- has made it all the way to the highest office in the land in the most powerful nation in the world. And how ironic-- a house that was built by slaves.
...And just what have YOU accomplished so far, Massa/bootlips/Apes?

#71: Some people are blessed with real beauty? Yeah, and some people are "blessed" with lots of money and way too much insecurity. When i saw that Julia Louis-Dreyfus had a new show coming out ([....]Christine), i was pretty excited. Then i saw her face and literally did a double-take. That woman has had so much plastic surgery, and it's sad because she really was quite lovely just the way she was. Too bad she looks like a robotic freakshow now and when she smiles you can see her whole face working. Also, she was on some late night talk show talking about how boring it was to see elephants on a safari: "Once you've seen one, you've seen 'em all". ::Yawn::. Most. Uninteresting. Person. Ever.
