Jessica Simpson Says No More Barbie Figure

Aug 10th 2010 - Jessica Simpson may soon be eating her words. Though the 30-year-old singer tells Lucky she is finally at "peace" with her fuller figure and curves, the magazine's photos of its September cover girl have apparently been heavily airbrushed to make her appear magically slim again.

"We all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that's not always what's beautiful," the pop star says. "It's about making peace with yourself."

Is it? Then why does the magazine cover and, to a much greater extent, the inside photo spread feature the star looking exactly like the perfect Barbie type? Could it be a case of "Do as I say, not as (Lucky and) I do"?

The Conde Nast magazine didn't respond to a request for comment from PopEater. But its seemingly photoshopped pictures have created a mini-uproar in the blogosphere.

Some Lucky-bashers point to the singer's disproportionate head and body in the shots. Others remind us of pictures snapped only a few weeks ago showing a still-rounder-looking Jessica, who has noticeably gained weight -- and taken heat for it -- in recent months.

"While I appreciate the comments [Jessica Simpson] makes about loving and accepting her body, I would find them more believable if she did not allow the magazine to airbrush her until her body looks nothing like the 'real' Jessica," writes one Lucky reader. "These are the ways we could actually induce change rather than just giving it lip service. The body in these pictures is NOT the body we see in candid shots. I doubt it could hold up the head on top of it in real life. Come on Jessica!! Take a REAL stand!"

	The magazine is also accused of being "insulting," "sickening" and deceptive in comments posted on its website. "Can we get real here?" fumes a reader. "Jessica Simpson has a beautiful body -- but it looks nothing like this!! She is healthy and has curves -- it is nothing to be ashamed of and airbrushed away. I'm disgusted."

The Simpson spread is timed to publicize the new VH1 series she filmed called 'The Price of Beauty,' for which she traveled the world to witness crazy things women do to look pretty.

The blurb with the photos says she has undergone a change in her own style and fine-tuned her ideas about what is beautiful "by coming to terms with some serious body issues over the course of the last year."

"She stopped fighting her hourglass silhouette," writes Lucky.

And the star echoes those sentiments in interviews she's dosince she's returned from shooting, telling Us Weekly that stressing out about weight "is just a woman thing -- unless you're the women we don't like that are supermodels that are just naturally fantastic."

"I'm a curvy girl," Simpson said. "I have to always be conscious of everything I'm putting into my body."

We should say here, that Simpson has also introduced her personal clothing line known as the Jessica Simpson Collection.The star believed that it was a good idea to sit in front of the best friend and let the friend ask absolutely any questions, including offensive ones. According to her therapy, she was supposed to answer all of them. In other words, she had to tackle all worrying problems inside and out.

The 30-year-old singer has opened up about her struggle to stay fit."I think a woman always stresses out about their weight.

Addressing whether personal criticism affected her, the singer said, 'Of course. I'm a woman. At this point, nothing else can be said about me that could be worse than I have already read.'

Pals worry Jessica’s new man only interested in her wallet

10 Aug, 2010 - While Jessica Simpson appears to be having a great time with new boyfriend Eric Johnson, friends are worried he’s just a freeloader, according to In Touch. And the recently divorced Johnson’s ex-wife, Keri Johnson, isn’t helping matters, telling the magazine, “Eric is plain out of money. He was going to grad school because he didn’t know what else to do, and then he just dropped out.”

Simpson has had a string of failed romances, most famously with her ex-husband Nick Lachey, musician John Mayer and Dallas Cowboys player Tony Romo.
The pop star, whose music career has all but stalled, often comes across as needy and cloying in the media, and controlled by her father, Joe.

The busy singer turned fashion mogul took a few minutes to chat with StyleList about her denim designs, available at Macy's and on her official website.

Jessica Simpson: Brigitte Bardot is my favorite beauty in the world. Her beauty and style are so iconic, and naturally sexy.

SL: Do you actually wear the jeans from your collection? What has been the response from your friends and family?
JS: Of course, I wear the jeans -- I love them! My favorite styles are the Malibu skinny and the Sunset bootleg [Simpson is wearing the latter in photo] – they make your legs look so long.

JS: Our four core fits are skinny, jegging, bootleg, and flare, so there's a fit for every body. All of the denim fabric has stretch, so they are super comfortable too.

JS: We are busy this fall launching jeans wear, plus, my latest fragrance, Fancy Nights, hits stores this month. I have some exciting projects in the works, personally. I love each facet of my career and every area brings me something new to discover.

Jessica Simpson Could Become an ‘Idol’ Judge

When you think of Jessica Simpson, you may think of many things. Singer, reality TV star, blonde, beautiful; but now it’s rumored that she might add American Idol judge to her list of accomplishments.

A source close to the show tells EW that Jessica Simpson has met with American Idol producers about joining the show’s judging panel. “I’m not sure whether her people approached Idol, or if it was the other way around,” said the source. It is also reported that Simpson is one of many candidates who’ve been considered as an Idol judge when the show returns in January 2011.

Former Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is set to return to Idol for its tenth season and went on record last spring saying he was in favor for an entire new panel of judges for better ratings for Fox. The network could be looking for more than a Simon Cowell replacement, who left Idol at the end of the ninth season in order to launch a U.S.-based version of his popular British series, The X Factor.The entire new panel idea could have complications due to the fact that current judge Randy Jackson is signed through next year. “The network’s dream scenario would be to make a splashy announcement at TCA on Monday morning,” said a source referring to Fox’s presentation at the 2010 TCA Press Tour scheduled for August 2.

Jessica Simpson’s Paying for Love

Jessica Simpson has been “dating” a still technically married man. She and former NFL player, Eric Johnson, have been vacationing and making every moment in public filled with kissing and straddling each other. Star is running with a story that might have truth in it.

A few insider-types squealed to the mag that she has been paying for EVERYTHING and is even housing him in her Hills mansion. The article paints Johnson as a Kevin Federline Junior and it’s conceptually believable being that Jess admitted she doesn’t brush her teeth and is a fan of Dutch Ovens.

Jessica Simpson Found Her First Wrinkle

Jessica Simpson has only been in her 30s for about a week, but she's already feeling the woes of aging. Wrinkles are creeping in, and by the end of the week she'll probably have like 94 gray hairs, at this rate.

"It is official -- I'm 30 and found a wrinkle," the singer Tweeted today (via Us magazine). "Damnit!"

Even though she's pretty much an old lady at this point, her new BF Eric Johnson seems to be smitten.

" I know she is really happy."

Summer Shoe Must-Have: Jessica Simpson's Studded Sandal

I really have to tip my chapeau to Jessica Simpson. I am doing that because this girl produces a line of ultra cool footwear that gets better season after season. Today, I walked into my office wearing a summer sandal called "Katee" and besides my ultra stylish peeps here at Us, my Starbucks barista and a few assorted women on the streets of Manhattan, I have been getting nonstop compliments on this towering inferno.t's simple. These heels look amazeballs because they're a high heel version of a flat summer gladiator sandal. The natural grain of the wood wedge is stunning, and plays so well against the supple leather upper. (The heel makes me insane -- Jess is shorter than you'd expect and always wears a higher heel -- she's my kind of gal). The combination of both circular and faceted square metal studs make it very exotic. The Katee heel has a 4.6 inch wedge with a 1.2 inch platform.

Available in desert sand or waxy black and sized 5-11, grab whichever is still available -- these heels are flying off store shelves now.
