Miranda Lambert is perfectly happy not being one of those super-skinny celebrity types. In fact, she says, when she sees them, her stomach growls.
"Really skinny actresses make me hungry," the country star tells Self in its June issue. "I see them and think, 'Honey, you need to eat!' I'm lucky I don't have to live like that."
Lambert, 28, who married fellow country star Blake Shelton in May 2011, says she's pretty comfortable with her body.
"I don't mind having a big butt," she says. "I actually like that about myself."
