So, I guess there’s a big brouhaha among the nasty vindictive star watchers again. This time they are all aflutter about Jessica Simpson, and her apparent negligible weight gain. The New York Post even published a very mean and very exaggerated editorial cartoon about the “situation.”
Alyssa Caplan of AC360 wrote the longest winded blog post imaginable on a subject that is easily summed up in one word: bogus.
Jessica’s sister, Ashlee, came to her defense:
“I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight,” Ashlee wrote on her website. “A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman’s weight or figure as a headline on Fox News.”
Do we just tear down our perfect idols to make our imperfect selves feel better?

Well....I must admit that I am VERY shocked at Jessica's weight gain- only because she seemed to be totally toned and buff, and not have the body type to get big. Lets admit it, Jessica was and still is one of the best looking women in Hollywood. It just goes to show how much those celebrities have to starve themselves to stay thin...what a frustrating situation to be in! I admire Jessica for showing the world that she isn't this shallow Barbie who is obsessed with being perfect- but a real human being who isn't perfect and also isn't afraid to let it be known. Go Jessica!!!!! We Love you girly!!!!
