Jennifer Love Hewitt's recent response to media's criticism over her curvier body has indeed impressed Playboy Magazine bosses that they offered her a chance to bare all for the publication, which she, sad to say, immediately turned down.

Being approached by Playboy's boss Hugh Hefner to pose naked in an upcoming issue of the publication, the movie beauty was "flattered" by the offer, but turned it down.

Speaking on that matter, a friend of her told In Touch Weekly Magazine, "She is pretty conservative, but is very proud of her body and did not deserve to be called fat."

Hewitt recently provoked media headlines with her getting called fat by numerous bloggers after being photographed by paparazzi put on a few pounds while celebrated her engagement to boyfriend Ross McCall having a romantic holiday in Hawaii.

She however hit back at the cruel comments, writing on her blog "Size two is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size zero doesn't make you beautiful. I know what I look like and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body. I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinized. 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. To all the girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini - put it on and stay strong."
