Jessica Simpson "balloons" (sic) to size 8

Entertainment Tonight is reporting breathlessly that Jessica Simpson has put on a few pounds.. They’re not themselves calling her fat, though they are reporting that “some” (unspecified people) are doing so.

Whaddya think? (Line to say "who the hell cares forms over there –> )

I’d hit it.

Shes definitely put on some weight, she used to have an incredible figure. Before anyone jumps down my throat please keep in mind looking incredibly hot is 90% of a celebrities job and the main reason they got famous in the first place.

I think she looks great.

Funny, I think she looks like an actual female human being, which makes her more attractive to me. Go Jessica.

What’s up with those grandma pants she’s wearing? That’s not going to be the new style, is it?

Those pictures are tiny and crappy. Here are some better ones: http://thesuperficial.com/2009/01/jessica_simpson_what_in_the_he.php

The clothes she’s wearing are absolutely horrendous. I will require acid to restore my retinas to their pre-picture-phase. While it’s pretty obvious that she’s gained some weight, she’s not exactly trying to help her image wearing those pants…

I’m more concerned about how old her face is looking. The 80’s style camel toe is a secondary problem.

Waves from over there. :cool:

Hideous clothes that make it appear she has no waist. If she was wearing more flattering clothing, she’d probably look fine. Yes, she’s gained some weight, but not a tremendous amount. Wearing high-waisted jeans with a heavy, thick belt is what’s making her look all funky.

I wouldn’t. Anyone whose taste in pants is that awful isn’t worth my time.

As for her body? It’s tough to tell, I don’t think the pants are particularly flattering and the best doesn’t help either. I’d have to see her naked to give a better opinion on that. Anybody happen to have those pictures?

Well, Jessica Simpson is somewhat short (5’3") so being a size 8 makes her a bit large for a movie star/pop star/country star; however, perfectly normal sized for a regular person.

I have to echo the other posters though - those pants are really, really bad. There are ways to dress a curvy figure (which Jessica has, and which I also have) - those pants ain’t it. Coupled with the skin tight tank-top and the coug-tastic leopard belt she’s not looking her best.

She also suffers from the short-woman-with-big-boobs-syndrome - the biggness of her rack makes her look bigger than she is.

Overall, bodywise she looks fine, clothing wise she needs to fire her stylist.

She is a small person. Her boyfriend is a 6’2" - 225 lb professional athlete. I think a few extra lbs in the right places might make for a more comfortable relationship.

I’d be willing to bet she’s in better shape than 90% of the people working at ET.

They don’t get paid tens millions of dollars to look good.

I think she looks great.

One of those pictures shows her from behind, and she looks a lot less chubby. It’s definitely the clothes. The pants are bad, but she could also use a more supportive bra.

In striking contrast are photos of Lindsay Lohan on the superficial.com website.

Ugh.

That is not at all attractive.

Yes, I would get her out of those pants as fast as I could.
