Excuse me for bringing up matters years old, am I the only one that recalls when actress Jada Pinkett-Smith gave an interview about her bench pressing?

Married to Will Smith, the petite actress only weighs about 100lbs and was being reported as benching 170 - 200lbs which got more confusing when in a 2003 interview she said she benched 9 plates a side, which would be close to 900lbs.

I started working out about three months before the film began. I wanted to be curvy and muscle-y. I took my body inspiration from Jessica Biel. I didn’t quite get those results, but she’s great.

David Kirsch, my trainer, has made sure that I am no longer self-conscious about my thighs. Eventually my knees are going to be all wrinkly and I’m not going to be able to wear things like short skirts, so I take pleasure in wearing them now.

After playing a prim Jane Austen opposite James McAvoy in her last film, Becoming Jane, she is now more butch than British thanks to six months of training for the film adaptation of TV comedy series Get Smart, opposite 40 Year Old Virgin star Steve Carell.

“I have to be very, very strong, so I’m working out like a madwoman.

“Basically, anything Jen Garner did in Alias, expect in this film,” said Anne and demonstrates an impressive karate chop she has learned since becoming Agent 99.

“I kick a little ass,” she grinned. “My favourite bit is when I get to run up a wall and turn around and punch him.

“And then I bake some cupcakes.”

In this May 22, 2008 file photo, American actress Sharon Stone speaks, during the amfAR’s annual Cinema Against AIDS 2008 benefit in Mougins, southern France. The 50-year-old actress suggested Thursday May 22, 2008 that the devastating May 12 earthquake in China could have been the result of bad karma over the government’s treatment of Tibet. That prompted the founder of one of China’s biggest cinema chains to say his company would not show her films in his theaters, according to a story in The Hollywood Reporter.

Thanks to London’s Daily Mail for its March 2008 article “Skin and veins: Celebrity gym-addicts whose love of exercise is spoiling their looks.”

Lori suggests to me that she is getting this strong from wrestling with Matthew Broderick.
