One person who's not keeping close tabs on Jessica Simpson's weight ups and downs: her little sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.

Wow: see Ashlee's amazing hair-makeover

During a Wednesday appearance at the Hershey's Store in Manhattan's Times Square, Simpson-Wentz, 25, shrugged when asked if folks are too hard on her big sister's body. "I just don’t get why it’s such a topic," she told UsMagazine.com.

Enough with the fat jokes! See stars who are sick and tired of being mocked for their weight

At a Jan. 15 press conference for her VH1 reality show The Price of Beauty, Jessica, 29, admitted "I haven't always had an inner confidence, and I haven't always looked at my reflection and loved it."

Simpson-Wentz also demurred on the topic of Jessica's new friend Billy Corgan. "Oh gosh," she said. "I don't think I'm going to go there right now." Jessica and Corgan, 42, went on six dates before calling off the romance earlier this month. ("They're working on being friends," a pal says. "Jessica is proving to herself that she can be pals with a guy she used to date.")

Oh, Jess: recap some of her most outrageous moments

Married to rocker Pete Wentz with their baby boy Bronx, 14 months, Simpson-Wentz is optimistic for Jessica's romantic future, despite her rocky past with the likes of ex-husband Nick Lachey, wacky musician John Mayer and football star Tony Romo. "She's my sister!" Simpson-Wentz said. "I want her to just be really happy."

    Here is the listing from losangeles.blockshopper for Ashlee's house... "Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has listed for sale her...home at 9718 Oak Pass Road in Beverly Crest for the asking price of $4 million. Simpson paid $4.5 million for the 5,896-square-foot home in Jan. 2007"...You may wonder why the property is worth a half million less than it was worth when Ashlee bought it only three years ago. Ashlee once entertained her fat and farty sister in the home and the her horrid fart stench cannot be removed.

    I believe many of you saw the pictures of me and Jessica in the recording studio a while ago. She fogged the entire studio with her putrid farts. When I played back the tracks from the session, the genius of my alternative rock angst was ruined by the constant rat-a-tat-tat and loud rumblings of her farts. Fat chicks like Jessica have the smelliest farts.

    Not only did Jessica fart on me, she crapped in my bed. I can prove it. The stains are still on my sheets. That's not why I broke up with her, I have a urine/feces fetish and liked that she smelled like farts. I broke up with her because she's a fat moron.

    gotta agree. Jessica is fat and smells like farts. I still haven't gotten her fart smell out of my bed.

  • January 29, 2010 - 6:07pm denim executive that Jessica farted on

    No matter what my body looks like, Jessica is still fat. And she smells...like a big fart.

    people posting comments on her are so pathetic. the simpson family have more people that love them than any of you could ever dream of. the only reason your being so hateful is because of your own insecurities and the fact nobody loves you. to the people saying jess is fat, uhm what does your body look like cause more than likely your a slob who does nothing but write hateful things on the internet all day. and to "jor francis" how the hell do you know if she is smelly and loose? have you personally had sex with her? cause i highly doubt she would ever do you only in your dreams. y'all are so pathetic.

    jess is a fat, farting, pig. ashlee, while a disgusting Simpson, has the better figure of the two and is the less repulsive sister.

    that's a great pic of ashlee, something i don't see very often. and jess is always a beauty

    People keep saying that Ashlee needs to stop bringing up her sisters weight in interviews but she's not the one bringing it up! "During a Wednesday appearance at the Hershey's Store in Manhattan's Times Square, Simpson-Wentz, 25, shrugged WHEN ASKED if folks are too hard on her big sisters body" Shes not bringing it up!! Other people are and if she chose not to answer the question then people would say oh, she must agree her sister is fat.... blah blah blah. leave them alone. The whole Simpson clan gets picked on too much.

  • January 28, 2010 - 9:26am w

    Ashlee, your dad keeps feeding the fat stories to the tabloids. It's the only way he can get publicity for your untalented moronic sister...that and tweeting pictures of her sticking lit candles in her body orifices. Your dad's a "genius" at marketing Jessica's "talent".

    January 27, 2010 - 8:01pm katrina salinger Says: The reason that people care Ashlee is because YOUR father promoted Jessica as a sex kitten. That was her only talent!! She couldnt act, sing, dance or maintain her "reality show" marriage....but she had DOUBLE D's and YOU CANT COVER THOSE SUCKERS UP!! And now she and you are surprised that people judge her by her looks!!! It was OK when people said she was hot when she had a nice body...NEVER heard anyone from your family complain about that!! You loved that!! Live by the sword, die by the sword!!! ---------------------------------------- Amen!!!

    Ashlee likes being the skinny one! lol

  • January 28, 2010 - 9:09am Gabrella

    Ashlee..worry about your own personal appearance, you have A LOT OF ROOM for improvement. Oh, sorry your self-asteem is so low that you had so much cosmetic surgery. You should really keep your mouth shut. You go from one look to another, thinking it will improve your so called singing/acting career, and it doesn't work, you are so transparent, and your Daddy pushes people to no end to get you jobs, try something on your own, like a cashier at MacDonalds, you just might be able to handle that, but probably not.

    I never even think about Jessica's weight (she isn't fat at all btw) until Ashlee brings it up in the news every so often - I think that's where the problem is - Ashlee needs to stop talking about her sister's weight to the media.

  • January 28, 2010 - 7:54am Note to Crazy Ashlee: No one cares about your fat sister

    Ashlee, your stupid, fat sister is no longer relevant. When she was with Tony Romo, she will still a little relevant. What doesn't your family stay in Hicksville and out of the media. Jessica Simpson is much like a Kardashian - a dart board for the public and the media. Anything she does is going to be made fun of. She DID this to herself by starting that stupid reality show with Nick Lachey, then DUMPING him. The public has NEVER forgiven her for being so mean, not to mention stupid. No one has loved her since. And probably no one will. She'll never get married and have children.

  • January 28, 2010 - 7:49am whatever!!!!

    I am not a fan of Jessica, but I will say that it's good to see a celebrity who is not skin and bones...what message is that sending?, That in order to be pretty you have to have your rib cage showing? It's sad to see how many negative messages there are on this page, no one is perfect...and compassion for others goes along way...you might learn something.

    I am not a fan of Jessica. The dumb act or whatever it was got on my nerves. However I have never thought she was fat. Yes she put on weight, but she is not obese. I do think she needs a new stylist as her clothes are usually the problem. Plus she does not need to do the constant up & down with her weight that she has done in the past.

  • January 28, 2010 - 5:19am Henry

    I agree with M and Joan Richard on the topic of Jessica: she doesn't have a weight problem, she's just not stick skinny like runway models - men actually like some curves on a woman. But her style sucks: her clothes always make her look frumpy. The real problem with Jessica is she played up the pretty but dense persona too much (it's quite possible she is actually really stupid) and it's now coming back to haunt her.

    Ashley looks realy nice in this picture.
