Jenny McCarthy is an open book, which makes perfect sense, given that she's written nine best-sellers. So it comes as no surprise that the buxom blond unabashedly revealed how much she currently weighs—and how much that number can fluctuate—during a recent interview.

"I'm a big yo-yoer. I do go up and down," the 5-foot-7 star told Radar Online. "I go from like 120 to 138. Right now I'm at 136, I think. And I take this time to thoroughly enjoy it during the holidays. I'm kind of part of the collective thinking when it comes to just surrendering to the not so great foods. Sometimes it has to do with PMS."

The View co-host said she's able to conceal extra pounds by staying hydrated. "I drink a lot of water! When you have a lot of water it kind of tends to go everywhere," she shared. "Like a little bit in your neck and a lot in your boobs and your arms. To me, it's more evenly spread out, I think."

Unsurprisingly, McCarthy, 41, wasn't shy about discussing another hot topic: removing unwanted body hair! She is, of course, the new spokeswoman for Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X.

"It's something I want to bring up because a lot of women don't know what to ask their man for, or I should say Santa, for Christmas. This is one of those things that is an investment worth getting. I used to get laser hair removal treatments back when I first moved out to L.A. via Vanna White's suggestion, believe it or not—that was who I hung around with!"

"I went and did some in office treatments and they were expensive and embarrassing. Tria, they're just a really incredible company who has done amazing things with beauty and reinvents what people can have at home instead of going to the doctor's office," McCarthy continued. "If you have a weird new hair, you have an in-home device now that can tackle it!"
