Jessica Simpson: Above Media Criticism

What weight issues? A gorgeous Jessica Simpson looked relaxed and happy when she landed in Charlottesville, Virginia for the next leg of the "Bob That Head" tour, headlined by Rascal Flatts.

The pop star-turned-country singer smiled when shutterbugs said, "You look stunning and all those pictures released this week were all garbage. You're a gorgeous girl."

Simpson received harsh criticism for her body after she was snapped singing at a Chili cook-off -- and it appeared she had put on some weight.

Jessica's superstar pals were quick to come to the crooner's defense. Sister Ashlee blasted the media in her online blog, while reality starlet Kim Kardashian announced that she thought the "You're My Sunday" singer was hot! "I love how she looked," Kim told "Extra."

Kim, famous for her curvy physique, continued on about the picture. "I didn't think there was one thing wrong with it. Her hair looked fabulous, and I think it's just disturbing that people would try and make a big deal about it."

Jessica Simpson looks just fine. I don’t know why everyone puts such an emphasis on “wieght”. What is this teaching the young people in our society? This is beautiful???? That is not the case. There are MANY beautiful people out there that SOME may consider overweight. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and “wieght” has nothing to do with it………..leave her alone. No wonder there are so many out there with complexes!!!!

Yam, i am skinny and I wear layers of clothing to look a little bit heavier, so what you are saying about Jessica is wrong. You and your husband are sick and twisted, someone needs to lock both of you up in the looney ward. Tell your husband to develop some balls and become a man instead of the sissy woman that he is. I am sorry you are married to a sissy wimpy man. Jessica looks just fine, she can change her weight but you can’t change your ugly face, sorry charlie.


- hey yam tell your husband to devlop some balls and become a man not a sissy

Girl is not phat…she is fat. The Charlottesville, Virginia photo shows it all. She is using the classic trick: lots of clothing layers to cover up the layers of love handles the girl is trying to hide. That huge black Louis Vitton bag in the photo and the sweater do not hide her thunder thighs. My husband thinks her fat is a media ploy to get a job from Nutrasystem. Maybe she can start her own diet line-Butrasystem.

This story is so absurd it makes me not want to watch this show ever again.In todays society it amazes me that you would even find Jessica Simpson’s weight a newsworthy story.She looks beautiful, healthy and yes she actually has curves which a lot of todays young girls think it is fat! Come one, lets show our future models and actresses that you can have curves and be beautiful and successful. I guess I can say look at Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, etc now those woman looked like woman not toothpicks!

I may not have been paying close attention but I didn’t think they were discussing her weight as an issue. she has put on weight but she looks good not ‘starved’. I thought they were merely pointing out a poor choice in the jeans she wore.. and I believe they were right; high rise jeans are not good on some figures. she is a beautiful girl and I’ve always thought she looked great but those jeans just weren’t flattering.

I think she looks great. The outfit was horrible though. Get over the weight thing. She was too skinny, now she looks healthy.

Jessica looks beautiful! Really 135 lbs FAT? Please..the average size of women in the U.S. is a size 14. Come on people get a grip. We all don’t have to be a size 4. Lets embrace our curves no matter our size or our weight.

I am so sick of the media ripping people apart because of size! I am the last person who would be a jessica simpson fan, as a matter of fact i am not, but for god sake leave the poor girl alone!!! I think she is much prettier @ 135 than 110! She looks like a real woman, as long as she is healthy who gives a SH**?!!

I think Jessica looks fine. Everyone critisizes her for being to thin and wanting to be perfect and then they critisize her for being heavier than she usaually is… go figure can’t make em all happy.

I am absolutely disgusted with your show. I can not believe that you would discuss someone as small as Jessica Simpson as having a weight problem. People like the producers of your show are the reason so many young women have eating disorders and a skewed vision of what beauty really is. Your comments with regards to recent photos of Jessica Simpson make it seem like to be a size eight is to be unhealthy and overweight when in reality that size is smaller then the average size of american women a size twelve. Then to say at the end of the segment tips to how she can dress her way to the top even if she doesn’t loose the weight right away. GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Don’t you think comments like that are basically saying you are not going to be successful unless you are a stick figure. Your show is terrible and should be banned…..I wish there were groups going for your ban from tv instead of going for Britney Spears ban from radio.

I was appalled to see Extra make Jessica’s weight America’s business. You even told us all how long it would take her to lose the weight. GIVE ME A BREAK! How many girls do we have to see starve themselves to death before the media “gets it”? The media has no business telling women and young girls what weight is considered acceptable. Extra should be ashamed of itself!
I’ll find another program to watch… thanks!

The media should leave the poor girl alone. She is just a woman who fluctuates in weight. The paps need to be less critical.

To Hope and Change…Do I detest a little jealousy over Jess’s popularity and man…and we deserve a better government, so why don’t you kick them to the curb! If you don’t know the facts than keep them to yourself. Jess and Tony are very much in love and if you knew him you would know he would not cheat.

Do you really mean to tell me that Jessica Simpson weighing in at 135 pounds is really a “scandal?” And people wonder why girls and women have body image issues!

Poor Jess put on a few extra pounds and then Tony screwed around with another. Jess kick that idiot to the curb you deserve better… He fumbles the football and now he fumbles you.
