Jennifer Love Hewitt has built a solid career thanks in part to the steadfast support of her stellar cleavage, but she's feeling mighty miffed now that the focus has shifted from her top to her bottom.

As we mentioned a few days ago, the "Ghost Whisperer" star's figure was callously (and unjustly) called out by several outlets after paparazzi caught her cavorting on a Hawaiian beach last week in an itty-bitty black bikini that showed off her normal, natural curves.

One image in particular -- providing a view of J. Love's perfectly presentable posterior -- received the lion's share of the unkind commentary (we'll spare you the many lame "I Know What You Ate Last Summer"-style zingers).

Jennifer Love Hewitt arrives at a Marshalls gala in Santa Monica, Calif., on Oct. 13.

"This is the last time I will address this subject," the petite, healthy and slightly va-va-va-voomy actress wrote on her Web site late last week. "I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinized."

Fumes Hewitt, who recently got engaged to Scottish actor Ross McCall, "To set the record straight, I'm not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image. A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn't make you beautiful."

The starlet, who two years ago dressed up in a fat suit -- complete with hot dog in one hand and an ice cream cone in the other -- for Halloween, sighs that she should be "celebrating some of the best days of my life and my engagement to the man of my dreams, instead of having to deal with photographers taking invasive pictures from bad angles."

Points out Jennifer, whose newly minted fiancée slipped a 100-year-old family heirloom on her finger, "I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body."

Then, in a show of strength that can only come from someone who has survived the indignity of playing second banana to an animated Garfield not once but twice, she boldly issues an up-with-curves call to arms.

"To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini," beseeches Hewitt, "put it on and stay strong."
