Weighing in on Jessica Simpson

Hmmmm, this is a loaded topic of conversation right here! OK! Magazine has a feature in their upcoming issue about Jessica Simpson's recent weight gain and even quotes a "friend" who says that "Whether she's catching one of Tony's games, or just hanging out with him, she'll throw back a couple of beers, eat some pizza and just have fun. She is just in a different place than she used to be and her weight is a reflection of that."

This is Jessica one year ago, in September 2007 (pre - Tony Romo) :

This was Jessica just a couple of weeks ago performing on Good Morning America. Clearly Jessica is heavier, but we don't think the outfit is very flattering either...
Now here at CountryMusicIsLove we definitely have our struggles with Jessica, that's no secret...but come on, even with a little more meat on her bones, Jessica still looks great. Jessica is, after all, just a regular person like the rest of us and how mortifying it must be to be in a magazine because of your weight gain! This picture was taken at a performance just last month...honestly, she looks fabulous! We think the magazines should maybe put a little more energy into PROMOTING self-esteem, not ruining it!

I totally agree. I mean, yeah, she's clearly heavier, but she's probably still a size 2. It's sad that Hollywood has put that much pressure on women and young girls. I have a 5 year old daughter and I am scared to death she is going to start looking at these pictures of these skinny women and thinking she's not beautiful because she is not a size 0. The magazines SHOULD be promoting self esteem. I stopped buying People for that very reason.

She looks great, as usual.
They need to hush.
But, that one outfit, was horrible.
