5 Successful Female Celebrities Who Openly Love Junk Food

11:30 am, December 31st | by Laura Donovan

Because it’s the last day of the year and I’m automatically granted a clean slate tomorrow, I’ll let you in on a shameful secret of mine: I just ate a bowl of mac n’ cheese, grilled cheese sandwich, blueberry scone, and loaf of whole wheat bread, all of which were from hearty Panera Bread. In the words of the sagacious Christina Aguilera, “my [starving, post-workout] body’s saying let’s go, but my heart is saying no.” But it’s okay to embrace carbs after epic gym trips or work days, and that’s exactly what these five successful women do during their rare moments of downtime.

“Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence just told Marie Claire South Africa that she’s happiest when watching reality TV and scarfing down snacks that, well, probably can’t be found in the produce section of Whole Foods. That gave me yet another reason to adore the southern belle, and luckily for all of us, she isn’t the only wildly successful famous female to gush about junk food to the press. We could read all about 116-pound Mila Kunis, or we could celebrate women who are unashamed of their love for tasty food. Let’s go with the latter and take a look at those who probably have stashes of Kit Kat bars in their TV and movie trailers.

1.Lena Dunham

Dunham's character chomps on cupcakes in the bathroom on "Girls" as well as off-screen. The celebrity recently tweeted, "For someone who's historically been pretty comfortable with her body, I sure get fuckin' smug every time I'm not hungry." Love it.

2.Blake Lively

Who knew that leggy sylph Blake Lively can't stay away from baked goods? The "Savages" star told Us Weekly this summer that she eats whatever she wants: "I eat cupcakes and I don't work out! But if you ask me in ten years, I'm going to regret answering that way now . . . I don't even drink water. It's terrible!" A few months later, she added, "I obviously have plenty of imperfections on my body, but I'd rather have a little bit of cellulite and go do a food trip and try every ice cream place in the South." Cosigned.

3.Jessica Simpson

The newly pregnant singer indulged junk food when carrying first child Max. She reportedly dropped 50 pounds upon giving birth to her daughter, but now that she has another bun in the oven, she may as well keep buying goodies!

4.Jennifer Lawrence

J-Law's interview with Marie Claire South Africa was music to my ears: "At the end of the day there's probably nothing that makes me feel better than junk food and reality TV."

5.Mindy Kaling

Kaling pokes fun at her appearance on smart sitcom "The Mindy Kaling" and has admitted a many time she gets really excited about junk food: "I love candy and pizza, but they actually make me very tired. I need to be alert...I eat like an Olympic swimmer, but I also like going on long, luxurious runs." Girl jogs five to six times a week! Now that's what I call discipline.
