Jennifer Lopez share one more thing in common

Glee isn’t the only show able to grab guest stars by the dozen, and before Jennifer Lopez perhaps appears on the Fox show, she will first stop by CBS’s How I Met Your Mother. Actually, the show has no problems garnering familiar guest stars, coming off a last several months that featured appearances of Amanda Peet, Rachel Bilson, Tim Gunn, Stacy Kiebler–with Carrie Underwood coming up!. Lopez will play “Anita Appleby”, and will appear in March to “break” Barney (Neil Patrick Harris).

After the casting, executive producer/co-creator of the show, Carter Bays, said “We couldn’t be more excited about Jennifer Lopez joining us on How I Met Your Mother”, and “We’re looking forward to a week of revealing outfits and sexy dance moves the likes of which this show hasn’t seen since Regis Philbin guest starred.” In the release, Lopez’s Appleby is described as a no-nonsense author of self-help books that teach women how to train men into relationship machines through the power of denial.

This is the 5th season of How I Met Your Mother – show that recently celebrated it’s 100th episode – stars Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan.
They’re both multi-tasking moms and wives, fashion icons, and pop music veterans, but Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez share one more thing in common, believe it or not: dress sizes!

Although Lopez as is famous for her curves as Beckham is for her rail-thin frame, Beckham tells 10 magazine (via The Cut) that they actually fit into the same dresses.

Discussing her fashion line to the magazine, Beckham, 34, says, “My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore.”

Posh herself sounds as surprised as anyone, adding, “Who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!”

The British star doesn’t note what that exact dress size is.

Even with three sons underfoot, Beckham has said frequently that she still hits the gym seven days a week. “I run so quick after a double espresso, my [sneakers] are on fire! They have sparks!” she says.

Ryan Seacrest, who worked alongside Beckham when she was a guest judge on American Idol, observed that she eats “perfectly… [she says], ‘I’m getting the steamed this, the steamed that.’”

By contrast, Lopez told Allure magazine recently, “I’m not the monster I used to be in the exercise department…You get past your 20s, you’ve got kids…you’re kind of unmotivated. You want to be healthy and look good, but you want to do the least amount to maintain that.”
