There is a lot of buzz going around about how the media is calling Jessica Simpson fat because of this photo.
I'm a little peeved about this. Firstly she is not fat, heck she doesn't even look that curvy in this photo! For the media to go on and on about how fat Jessica Simpson is basically telling all the women of the world that a size 2, which is what Jessica Simpson is, is fat. Okay maybe expectations of how stars are supposed to look are higher then the average person, but when the media say that this is fat do they not realize how many pre-teen and teen aged girls are reading that and thinking if Jessica Simpson is fat then I'm a whale. How are girls supposed to grow up with a healthy self-image if they are constantly being bombarded by the media telling them that they have to look anorexia or they are not attractive? I have a teen aged daughter and I know how fragile their self image can be. Trust me teen aged girls do not need any more pressure in their lives to look a certain way, they already have enough of that. Jessica Simpson may not be the smartest person, but calling her fat is doing the young girls of the world more harm then the media realizes.

It's crazy, all of it. The media calling her fat, and the attention her weight gain is getting. I cannot for the life of me understand why society is so celebrity obsessed. Why do people care what these actors/actresses do in their spare time, and why oh why does it make the news?! Sorry for the rant.
I agree with both of you.
I hate the media, and what they have done for a healthy woman's image...We all feel we have to meet up to expectations we can't meet...and none of us have high priced trainers and dieticians to help us along either..
ok..maybe I should get off my soap box now... :)
Totally! I have issues with anyone who judges people by their weight, but it's even worse when they say a size 2 is fat. I'd like to see the size of the people judging her!
Very good post Tam. And, you are SO right! It's absolutely ridiculous and stupid, and it ticks me off!
It's amazing how much attention this is getting, eh?
they must be running out of story ideas as always!
I pretty much said the same thing on my blog. The shot that started it all was at a bad angle (shot upwards), she's wearing mom jeans, and the camera adds 15 pounds even at a good angle. If you compensate for all those things, she's probably still a toothpick with boobs in real life. The press has been acting like she went to 300 lbs overnight, which is ridiculous. I've had to stop watching ET, Extra, and the others because I got sick and tired of hearing all the weight loss experts like that guy from Celebrity Fit Club saying how she needs to lose weight--only on that "experts" diet plan, of course--or she's going to have a heart attack and die at any moment. No wonder little girls have body issues these days.
