The 'Ugly Betty' star insists she is more deserving of praise for her genuinely shapely figure than the two slender screen beauties.
She said: "There's just way too much attention placed on the way we look. I think it's hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy. Come on - they're not curvy. I'm curvy!
"I've been really lucky. Playing Betty has prepared me to be exactly who I am and not to change.
"What is normal now? Is it normal to be size zero? Starving yourself is not beautiful."
The 23-year-old actress loves the fact that playing the dowdy-looking Betty means she doesn't have to constantly worry about her appearance.
She added: "If I've gained a pound or lost a pound, or have food in my teeth, it all works for the show!"
