Ashlee Simpson: Stop Talking About Jessica’s Weight

“All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms,” writes Ashlee, blasting the “different standard” for her sister

I think motherhood and marriage has really brought out the adult in Ashlee Simpson.

She’s totally right about the nit-picking media and the crazy-ass effect it has on many girls and women. And she has influence on kids so kudos to her for hitting two birds with one stone: defending her sister and standing up for all women and their right to feel OK in their own skins- and Ashlee was smart too to  speak out in a place where she could do so in her own voice–her blog.

“I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight,” Ashlee, 24, writes on her blog after photos appeared of Jessica, 28, at the Radio 99.9 Kiss Country’s annual Chili Cookoff on Sunday in Pembroke Pines, Fla.
Under the headline, “Since when did a woman’s weight become newsworthy,” Ashlee says: “A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman’s weight or figure.”

Even the Fug Girls cut Jessica some slack:

It was totally the Mom jeans. (Plus she’s in love.) Read on.

Fug Girls :

Here is the thing about these jeans: they might look great on you if you have abs that could grate cheese and little-to-no body fat. On the rest of us, they just emphasize Inner-Thighs-Through-Belly-Including-Hips, which is something I want in my pants about as much as I want Tony Romo to come over and throw a boiling vat of chili in my face. I mean, if you just mentally move the waist band of these jeans down about two inches, girlfriend looks 100% better, am I right? The sad thing is, I’m sure the tabloids are going to jump on this with a replay of Star’s infamous “IT’S NOT A FAT SUIT” headline, when really, J Simp’s probably gained a pound here or there because she’s not working out 8 hours a day anymore and who can blame her? She’s in love! She’s WORKING A CHILI COOK-OFF. She’s not made of stone, people, and I suspect she’s naturally a curvaceous girl. The fact of the matter is that we all know she’d probably look freaking great if she would just burn those pants and salt the ground. See, this is why I always vote for flattering jeans. Forgiving pants = more sandwiches and far less agita from people squawking about the remainder of your minor holiday weight gain. Also, more sandwiches = much greater happiness. It’s like one of the fundamental rules of basic math.
