Gravity will keep an object in the shape of a sphere, if the object is sufficiently large and massive, and if it doesn't rotate too fast. If it rotates quickly, it will be an ellipsoid - a flattened sphere. For example, Jupiter's diameter from pole to pole is approximately 10% less than its equatorial diameter, due to its quick rotation.
