Jessica Simpson's tip for dining?
"For me, it’s just eat whatever makes you feel good," she told UsMagazine.com Saturday at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. "Work out whenever you want to. Just take care of yourself. I think when we're in love, when we have love in our life, that's when we look beautiful."

At the dinner, the 29-year-old Simpson -- who is often heckled for her weight ups and downs -- chatted up plus-sized actress Gabourey Sidibe, whom she once defended after Howard Stern called the Precious star, 27, an "enormous, fat black chick." At the time, Simpson called Stern "disrespectful" and said Sidibe was "beautiful."

"I try to be a role model who stands up for women and self-esteem," Simpson explained to Us at Saturday's dinner.
The Price of Beauty star also played coy when asked about her love life. "I have some situations that I am feeling out," she told Us.
Tell Us What You Think
39I don't think Jessica is promoting unhealthy eating -- I think she's just trying to encourage the idea of eating with common sense(eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full, don't deprive yourself). Food isn't the enemy here, people. But so many people are scared of food and have all kinds of irrational ideas about how we're supposed or aren't supposed to eat.
NSFW, protection should be used for what you describe with Jessica. Would a dentist or a doctor treat a pecker infected with Jessica's mouth rot?
She must give a world-class blow job.
what horrible advice jess. keep saying that & you'll be a blimp in no time. you should not rely on a cheeseburger fries & a shake for your happiness
Jessica is GROSS!
I think she looks beautiful here and she couldn't be anymore right if only other girls thought like that.
As much as I enjoy that she is all about "being herself," I would also hope she would promote healthy eating and regular exercise. We don't need everyone to be a size 4 but in trying to deal with the current obesity epidemic, I would think she would join in the campaign to promote healthy eating and healthy exercise. "Eat whatever makes you feel good" could mean fast food and ice cream for some people.
Everything looks perfect, but I HATE the shoes...why does she always wear chunky platform shoes like this? :( They make her feet look so weird.
If only Jessica Simpson had been around to be a role model for Marie Curie, Florence Nightengale, and Mother Teresa. Imagine what they could have accomplished had they witnessed Jessica not developing an eating disorder and being proud of her "curves". Aim a little higher for your inspiration than this mediawh 0re who peddles stories to the tabloids about her weight, relationships, and boobs, kristen.
I think she is such an amazing inspirational woman. She has dealt with so much in the press, and instead of responding by developing an eating disorder, she has fought back for all women everywhere. She is gorgeous and I adore her! Jessica is not saying that all women should be curvy, shes saying that everyone should be thought of as beautiful regardless of their natural healthy shape. I am a regular woman - not an "simpson employee" and Jessica is definitely one of my new role models!
Nothing fake about her. She's beautiful.
Why the hating?! (It feels like thats how I start every comment now)If you dont like the woman, why did you click to this story? @ whiteMwiiiiiiiithAsianF Some skinny women are just born like that (and I, most like many, are jealous of them), but most others (espically in Hollywood) starve themselves or turn bulimic to get a part in a movie or crap like that.
I think she looks beautiful. And I suppose some of you would rather her look like Kiera Knightly? LOL! Leave her alone. She looks lovely in my opinion. :)
Wow she looks beautiful here. i think its good to eat what makes u happy but dont overdue it if its bad for you. As for rolemodel I dont think she is with her hair extensions, bad breath, and poor taste in men
Jessica's a great role model for the young kids today. She's honest beautiful & doesn't take herself to seriously. She looks great!!
I meant "fuhrer". I'm so busy learning japanese (the language of thin women with the top 3 longest lifespans on earth) that I forgot how to spell the most famous word in the history of people with MOON SIZED chips on their shoulders.
"May 03, 2010 - 11:27am Dee Says: Excellent comment Jessica. You've got a strong, healthy, athletic body, one to be proud of. Not a waif-like,sick looking body that many seem to admire. I see those scrawny bods & I feel so sad & sorry for them." [ Hail dee! You are superior because "they" are inferior. Should I put skinny women in an oven for you to eat, Mein Furor?
Sorry Simpson employees. Trying to turn Jessica Simpson into a role model for women is going to work about as well as your attempts to turn her into a country singer and actress. Real women do not model themselves after morons who turn their personal lives into circus freakshows for cash.
She does not have an athletic body, Dee. She's as dumpy as ever, she's just wearing a dress that is more flattering to her waist-less blobby body.
She is a gorgeous woman.
