She should be added to "Vegans" category. --cockney 09:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone who anything about her personal life, i.e. relationships past and present?

On August 17, 2006 Biel appeared on David Letterman and said during the interview that she likes to eat a "tomato and mozerella pizza." I don't believe that cheese is part of a strict vegan diet. She sounds more like a strict vegetarian. GilliamJF 04:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
A recent magazine (I cannot remember which it was) also included a bit about Biel's diet and exercise and mentioned that she ate chicken frequently. It doesn't sound as though she's a vegetarian at all. Nolewr 21:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

but DID she say that i think we need do find some info about her saying it not some mag cause not all of them are true most make up stories about celeb diets they have been secources saying shes a vegetarian so we should find out if she is or not by her or someone that works for her Veggiegirl (talk) 05:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Descent

I have removed this sentence:

the family is of German, French, Irish, English and Choctaw Native American

Is there an accurate, verifiable source for this information? (unsigned comment)

Of course there is: that was very arrogant of you to take it out, since there are 100 references. And also, she's probably half Native-American, and 1/8 Irish, 1/8 German, 1/8 French, 1/8 English. But she doesn't wanna be thought of as Native, so she lists these ethnic groups as if she's equally English and Native. Look at her: she looks very Native. And I'm putting that info back in, since there are 100 references for it. (unsigned comment)

Her surname is German. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.255.15.132 (talk) 11:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
She has mentioned her ethnicity frequently in interviews. Disappointed to see the work of one misguided editor hasn't been successfully reverted. -- Horkana 02:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another section?

I think we can all unanimously agree we need an entire section, if not a whole different wiki devoted to her ass. It's absolutely goregeous, and needs to be respected the world over. I mean, I think I could make a very good case of it to the powers that be, but I think this speaks for itself:

[edit] Hold on a minute

I understand WP:BLP, but there is nothing wrong with being a lesbian or bisexual. I don't see that there is any reason why WP:BLP applies here. Ther other part of the claim, however, obviously is affected. I don't think removing discussion of her possibly being a lesbian or a bisexual from the talk page is justified. Without any sources for various other claims though, obviously the rules prohibit us mentioning them here. --Stenun 22:57, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree there's nothing wrong with being lesbian or bisexual. However, given still-widespread discriminatory practices and hate crimes against homosexuals, this is still something that can be called libelous if its posted falsely. WP:BLP directs that unsourced information of this sort should be removed from both articles and their talk pages. - Stephanie Daugherty (Triona) - Talk - Comment - 23:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Having read WP:BLP I don't think it applies to homosexuality at all. However I am quite happy to go with the majority on this one, particularly as the only source that has been offered first is of, um, not entirely of the highest calibre. I think, if certain statements by her family that have been alledged to have been made were in fact made, that there would be wider news coverage of it. --Stenun 23:09, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, despite what some may think, most people feel that there is something wrong with homosexuality and bisexuality, so therefore it does apply. 67.142.130.40 22:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree fully then. Extremely sexy 12:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

This is unrelated, but I noticed her charity work needs citation. Megan :) Rubyandme 03:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New photos

I have recently been given permission by Gen Art to use their photos as freely licensed for Wikimedia Commons. The photos of Biel can be found here. http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=70879681@N00&q=Jessica+Biel&m=text Please, tell me if anyone thinks I should replace the current one with one of these. Thanks.--CyberGhostface 20:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I would prefer another one than the one used with the article. Extremely sexy 23:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nude photos in NakieMag

Biel is a supporter of naked yoga and has appeared in numerous campaign ads against laws banning public nakedness. To show her "appreciation of the human body," she posed clothes-free in an editon of NakieMag, in which she keeled on the ground and tucked her knees under her chest, displaying her anus, exposed between her two fully spread buttocks. In another photo, she sat in a wooden chair holding her right leg above her head and providing a natural view of her contracted labia and clitoris. On page six of the essay's pictorial, the actress performs a headstand with her legs spread apart in an upside-down splits maneuver, with breasts in full view and a stiff labia minora standing upright in between her thighs.

IP-number 75.18.176.130 and User:Wasabi fandango added the above to the article, and I subsequently removed it. A google-search didn't give any results for NakieMag or any other info. I'm not too familiar with how things are done on the English Wikipedia, so I found it best to mention it here. --Heelgrasper 07:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

It's probably vandalism.--CyberGhostface 19:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
IF THIS IS TRUE, WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS? ADD A LINK, AND PROVE IT! (unsigned comment)

not from Nakie Mag but a topless photo. you can see her right nipple. http://www.celebritees-nues.net/actrices/jessica-biel/jessica-biel-03.jpg http://www.celebritees-nues.net/actrices/jessica-biel/jessica-biel-24.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ufish (talk • contribs)

I'd like to point out that this is a free encyclopedia. It's likely younger kids will want to read about their favorite celebrities. Kids will be shocked with those photos. Please stop. Also, many people hate the nudity. I hate it too, I wish they would be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubyandme (talk • contribs)

I do not believe wikipedia has any such policy of censorship and if you believe it does then you should be easily able to provide a suitable and official reference to any such policy. The above quoted comments about nudity are almost certainly vandalism as Jessica Biel has in various interviews expressed a certain amount of embarrassment at the revealing photos taken for Gear magazine at only age seventeen and her discomfort at being thought of as the "Worlds Sexiest Woman". If someone wanted to mention this in the main article it should be relatively easy to find and cite a source (such as the Sunday Times, September 2, 2007) where she again mentions this, her dogs, and an interest in Scrabble. -- Horkana 00:54, 3 September (UTC)

Wikipedia explicitly does not have any censorship policy. See WP:CENSOR and Wikipedia:Content_disclaimer. The Gear pictorial is of course copyrighted content and would not appear on Wikipedia, but those who want fluffy bunny encyclopedias suitably scoured of any content anyone could dislike won't find it here.  RGTraynor  20:21, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relevant and unsourced material

I removed some stuff and tagged some other. Thanks, --Tom 14:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
