As though we could worship Jennifer Garner anymore, yesterday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show the actress stood with real women everywhere and spoke out loud and

proud about having a less-than-taut tummy. "I am not pregnant, however i have experienced three st nirvana kids and there is a bump," she told Ellen.

The refreshingly real star of Alexander and also the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Horrible Day said there was speculation within the press--and even among

friends--that she was preggers: "I thought, 'What is going on?' So I asked around and apparently I have a baby bump, and I'm here to tell you which i do."

She continued, "From now on, ladies, I will have a bump, and it'll be my baby bump. Let's just all settle in and get used to it. It's not going anywhere."

She's not the first star to challenge the (insane) notion it should take all of two months for a new mom to snap back into bikini shape. Actress Ali Larter

shared her struggle to lose baby weight with Health: "A lot of women say they breastfeed and also the weight comes quickly. For women who gain 25 pounds,

that's probably true. But for me and Busy [Phillips], who enjoy our cake, it's not going to come off in 2 months. I gained 45 pounds."

Incidentally, Jen already won this writer's heart by revealing on national TV that she, Ben and the kids all had head lice not too long ago. (Forget Ben

Affleck's nude scene in Gone Girl; picture the sexy picture of him combing out lice nits.) This is major. Nobody discusses lice; when they do, they never

admit that it spread beyond the tomato plant weight loss kids. Jen's like: cope with it. Glossy-haired people get lice, too.

She's not trying to be a role model; she's just herself, certainly one of us.
