Looking as if the public is moving away from loving the stick-thin starlets in lieu of the curvier chicks, Kate Winslet and Halle Berry have topped a big UK poll as to which Hollywood ladies have the most desirable bodies.
Asking thousands of women aged 18 and over, the general trend seemed to make clear that voluptuous figures are becoming the ideal look.
With Miss Winslet placed atop the poll while Miss Berry closely behind, with third place going to fellow curvaceous cutie, Beyonce Knowles.
Other gorgeous gals to make the recent survey include Megan Fox and Lily Allen, while skinny stars such as Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss came in at the bottom of the list.

Tending to her holiday gifting duties, Halle Berry was spotted making her way around Los Angeles, California on Thursday morning (December 17).
The 43-year-old “Catwoman” cutie toted a wrapped up present in her arms as she hopped out of her car and headed inside one of her pal’s houses.
Thinking of others during the Christmas season, Miss Berry is doing her best to try and urge people to donate money to the Jenesse Center organizations providing shelter for battered women.
“I saw my mother battered and could not do anything to stop it. My father was tyrannical, lashing out at her for no reason. I felt the effects that had on our family,” Berry told of her reason for taking up the cause.

Looking fabulous while making her way around town, Halle Berry was all smiles as she shopped it up in West Hollywood, on Tuesday (December 15).
The Oscar winning actress ended up dropping into Soolip Paperie and Press - quite possibly stocking up of holiday cards to send out to her loved ones.
Meanwhile, Miss Berry is doing her best to try and urge people to donate money to the Jenesse Center organizations providing shelter for battered women.
“I saw my mother battered and could not do anything to stop it. My father was tyrannical, lashing out at her for no reason. I felt the effects that had on our family,” Berry told of her reason for taking up the cause.

Halle Berry has been a longterm supporter of the domestic abuse charity The Janesse Center, which runs six shelters to helps women and families affected by violence at home. Berry is helping raise awareness for the cash-strapped charity by sharing the very harrowing story of how she witnessed domestic abuse as a child. She said her dad would regularly beat her mom and that “I?ve experienced what these women have gone through.”
The 43-year-old actress has been a low-key volunteer on the night shift at the Jenesse centre in Los Angeles for years but has only now chosen to reveal this part of her life, discussing for the first time how her father beat her mother and how she escaped her own abusive relationships.
She hopes the publicity will help the six shelters run by Jenesse overcome the financial stresses of the economic downturn. In the past Berry has refused to talk about the beatings meted out to her mother by her father, Jerome Jesse Berry, who left her family in Cleveland, Ohio, when she was four. But she has said a boyfriend once hit her so hard she is still largely deaf in her left ear.
Last week, accepting a ?leadership? award in Hollywood, Berry said she and her elder sister, Heidi, were still recovering from witnessing the violence inflicted on their mother, Judith, a retired nurse who was born in Liverpool.
?I saw my mother battered, and could not do anything to stop it,? she said. ?My father was tyrannical, lashing out at her for no reason. I felt the effects that had on our family ? I?ve experienced what these women have gone through.?
She said her mother was still working out why she took it for so many years. ?That is a deep question, and I am not sure she will ever come up with one answer. I have one answer to anyone in a similar situation ? get out.?
Berry never forgave her father, a hospital porter, even as he lay dying with Parkinson?s disease in 2003. He sold his account of their estrangement to a tabloid ?for a pack of beer and cigarettes?, Berry said.
She wondered if her parents? relationship had affected her past romances.
She said: ?I never had to run to a shelter, but I did choose the wrong partners. Not always good men. Luckily, in recent years, I have been smart enough to hit the door when violence even becomes a possibility. That is something I will not tolerate.?
After two marriages she feels more settled with her boyfriend, the Versace model Gabriel Aubry, and their 20-month-old baby girl, Nahla.
A former resident of the shelter said she did not realise the woman she called Halle Baby, who told silly jokes to her children, was a film star.

I didn’t realize that Berry actually volunteered at the Jenesse center and thought she just donated money. That’s really amazing that she works with the people there just like any other volunteer. She also works with the Make a Wish foundation as she detailed in an essay she wrote for Reader’s Digest in 2002. Berry’s personal stories in that Reader’s Digest article are very moving, and you can tell that she’s committed to helping others and that she truly cares. She wrote that she was heartbroken having to meet children who were so sick, but that she realized she had to deal with it in order to help. “Most of these children are terminally ill, so when you’re granting their wish, you know you may be seeing them for the last time. There was a point when I thought, I cannot do this. Then I realized that before a child passed away, I was able to put a smile on his face. So I told myself it would be really selfish to let a little pain stop me from doing a lot of good.”
Berry’s story of witnessing abuse as a child gives me chills. Now that her dad has passed she probably finally feels able to talk about it. She did mention it in her Reader’s Digest story but didn’t go into much detail, writing “My father was an alcoholic who was very abusive to both my mother and my sister. He was never abusive to me.”
You often see Berry and her mom out together and you can tell that they’re close. One thing Berry said in Reader’s Digest was that she wanted to have children but didn’t know if she would be able to. “I desperately want children of my own, and hope I haven’t missed the chance.” Now she has a beautiful daughter, Nahla, 21 months, and a gorgeous partner in model Gabriel Aubry. I bet Halle’s mom is such a proud grandmother.

Pairing up for a shopping session, Halle Berry and daughter Nahla Aubrey were spotted out in Beverly Hills, California on Thursday (December 10).
The Oscar winning actress was all smiles as she toted her adorable baby girl into the local Bristol Farms Supermarket, loading up on household needs before making their way back to the car.
The day’s outing comes just as Miss Berry recently listed her two bedroom, two-bath home in Beverly Hills up for sale at the asking price of $5 million.
Looking to make a little profit on the beautiful abode, Berry paid $2.275 million for the 2,274-square-foot home in October 2001.

Known for her stylish ways, Halle Berry looked fabulous as she stepped out for a midday meal in New York City on Tuesday afternoon (November 17).
Wearing an eye-catching striped sweater to keep warm in the chilly weather, the Oscar winning actress was all smiles as she lunched with a friend at Morandi restaurant in the West Village.
As previously reported by Gossip Center, Miss Berry spent the previous evening playing host at “An Evening of Awareness” at the Crosby Street Hotel.
