The 46-year-old stopped by US chat show The View this week and described her body as 'chunky' in one of her bootylicious selfies.As the picture flashed up on screen behind the panel, Jennifer said: "I was a little bit on the chunky side there as you can see." Unsurprisingly the show's hosts – including Whoopi Goldberg – were not impressed.

That's not what I mean," she said. "I fluctuate. I go up and down like seven or eight pounds all the time. "Like when I'm doing the [Vegas] show I get slim. Then when I stop, I'm eating and I get chunky – I feel it.

Let me know, JLO (you know, from the block)".Amazingly Leo responded, blissfully unaware he was being fooled. He wrote: "You mean tonight, boo boo? Club wise?"Best. Response. Ever.
