The singer Jessica Simpson has put on weight! Practically every single tabloid newspaper in America and in the United Kingdom is making a big splash about it. In the Ukmedix Newsroom we decided to try and get into why people are so interested in whether Jessica Simpson is overweight and why it is so newsworthy.

Well we reckon that when beautiful celebrities put on weight it shows that they are human like all of us and that they are not supernatural beings which is often how they are portrayed in the press. People love the high and mighty falling off a pedestal and when someone like Jessica Simpson puts on a few pounds she shows that she is like you and me in that she likes to overeat and can sometimes be lazy by not working out.
Some people actually feel good about the fact that celebrities have put on weight and if you are one of these people you should be careful that you are not judging your weight loss targets on the failures of other people. You mustn’t use the excuse that other people have put on weight as a reason for falling into unhealthy eating habits and not exercising. Remember when it comes to YOUR weight the buck stops with YOU.
Jessica Simpson is a beautiful and talented girl and all of us at Ukmedix News feel that while it is unfortunate that she has put on a little bit of weight it is not like she is clinically obese. Everybody puts on a little bit of weight at sometime in their lives. Maybe Jessica is going to through a rough patch in her personal life or stress is getting to her and she’s finding it difficult to monitor her eating habits.
Whatever her reason for putting on weight maybe everybody should just give her a break and focus on their own weight problems rather than hers! It is likely that the people who are making the biggest fuss about Jessica Simpson’s weight gain are those who should be looking at their own weight rather than hers.

WHy does everyone care.. she's still beautiful. Who cares if she gained some weight. And the fact that her "weight battle" story is going on mag covers where the president of the united states should go... thats sick. This shit it pathetic! And another thing... OBAMA DID NOT CALL HER FAT. He simply repeated what the mag cover said... he got replaced on the mag and it said "weight battle" so he said apparently she's having a weight battle. He said it sarcastically.. like who gives a shit.

She is still beautiful and people need to leave her alone. This is the type of stuff that made Brittney go over the edge.

i think the fact that she puts on weight is a shame because she is a role model to all the teens. Healthy is not fat.
