Ashlee Simpson: So What if My Sister is Fat Now?

Ashlee Simpson was so disgusted by all the headlines about Jessica Simpson's latest 50 pound addition that she went off on her blog about it.

I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight. 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 as a headline on Fox News.

All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard.

Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend? I seriously doubt it.

How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?

Now can we focus on the things that really matter.

A few things about this. Number one, no I wouldn't say it to my wife, daughter or mother, but last I checked, Jessica isn't any of those things. Next, I hope the size 2 figure comment was some sort of sick joke or she left out a 0 because there's just no way. And last, what the hell does the inauguration have to do with her sister's weight? Obama is president now, so we must refrain from making fatty jokes. As if.
