Jessica Simpson
86
In January, unflattering photos of the star in high-waisted jeans at a Florida chili cook-off hit the blogosphere. Then, Fox NFL Sunday mocked her weight in October by saying she'd make a good defensive tackle. "I will never understand why people attack for a laugh," she Twittered.

Tell Us What You Think
86Just a bad outfit is all.
Jessica- I think that you look so much better with meat on your bones! who cares what the media says.... your beautiful!
People in hollywood are insane it's the clothes she has on, not her weight she looks great. And the reason I say their insane, plastic surgery all the time, starving to stay a 0/2 why? O right for the glamoure and money.. INSANE. Be happy with your own skin. An forget what people think you should look like. I read an article that said the average woman is a 14, whats the big deal. I'm a 5 but I don't starve myself or workout like a frick loon to stay that size. I guess I'm just lucky. And after my son was born I was a 12, I didn't freakout about it. I have a high Metabolism, like I said I'm just lucky.
i think she looks great...its the clothes that are unflattering, not her
y does everyone have to put her down i ttly agrree with mostly everyone... you shouldnt put ppl down for how they look or dress and .. lett me tell you i'm a size 2 and i dnt care what anyone says i wish i could be alittle larger cuz i am.. too SKINNNNYYY but i have a high matabolism and i cant gain weight very easy .. and just because your not a size 0 or a size 2 doesnt mean your not BEAUTIFUL.. NOONE IS PERFECT AND EVERYONE IS PUTTING EVERYONE DOWN BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CALLED "FAT" AND EXPECIALLY JESSICA.. SHE AINT FAT SHE IS "GEORGEOUS"!! AND FORGET THE HATTERS WHO DISAGREE CUZ GOD WILL SHOW YOU.. IN THE LONG RUN!!!
More beautiful then ever.
ROTFLMAO!!!
DESI, I agree totally. I'm a white woman and I see it all the time, white women think if you're not a size 0 you're not pretty. I'm a size 12 and I feel sexy.
Thick is good and Jessica was just a little thicker than before (which is just fine with me). Real men don't want bones. Although, most of my white male friends like their women on the skinny side.
Jessica is NOT fat! It is just the clothes I agree!
I used to be a huge Jessica Simpson fan when she first came out on the music scene... she has amazing range and a truely beautiful voice, but I think she's sold out just a but and hides her voice to churn out mediocre pop. However, to call her fat and criticize her weight is truely cruel. Those high-waisted pants would make an OLSEN twin look heavier and I don't even think Jessica looks fat. She looks like a WOMAN and I think she's quite lovely at any weight. No wonder so many women and girls have low self-esteem if beautiful women like Ms. Simpson are slaughtered on the alter of public ridicule.
Desi: It's a white girl thing, cause if you ask the white men, they'll tell you they also like women with a little meat on their bones. White men don't find skinny girls attractive.
wasnt ''fat'' just style challenge. a better outfit could have made her look not so plump. no ''biggie''. i do agree with most here. its better to have the curves than the bones.
I AGREE WITH DESI, extra pounds are beautiful, nasty starving anorexic women are disgusting, they have no shape, no boobs, no butt and seem to also lack personality, women with curves have fun and seem to be happier not having to worry every 2 seconds if someone saw her eat. I thought Jessica looked fine either way, I admit not wearing a bra when you are busty tends to make you APPEAR heavier than you are, but she's still beautiful
evelyn, was that tid bit even about Carrie Underwood and I can imagine that anyone that uses sh turd to describe soemone is probably not very attractive (inside) anyway. Pathetic. I think Ms Simpson is beautiful. This must be a white culture thing because I'm black and we don't have a problem with our women having a few extra pounds. It's sexy. But here with European american culture and in hollywood God forbid you have a burger every once and a while. I notice the Latin culture is simular to black, a little extra is not bad. I hope these comments aren't taken offensively; they were not meant to be. I just notice that it seems to be cultural and exclusive to whites.
Okay, another backwards photo, but then again I don't think anything was wrong with her. The girl makes the wrong fashion choice and the media has made her fat and beat us over the head with it. And Evelyn, it's CARRIE Underwood and what's the difference? What makes CARRIE stand out so far from Jessica? In my opinion...nothing!
you look OK. kerry underwood makes you look like a sh turd.
She's not fat, she just wore the worst pair of jeans in the world. Where were her friends to tell her "take those things off!"
To those who have negative commentary to spread on how a person "should" look . . . how about you submit your unaltered photos for the entire world to critique as they see fit? We'll see how long your psyche holds up.
i think she looks better with some meat on her bones! she could be like anna nicole, may she rest in peace...
