I tune out pop culture as much as possible, but I remember earlier this year when the media started freaking out because Jessica Simpson appeared to have gained some weight.

Personally I think the outfit she had on was unflattering, as was the camera angle but you know the E! channel and People Magazine need something to talk about.

Now Jessica is on the cover of Vanity Fair with a caption that reads “You Call This Fat?”.

I’m wondering why this is newsworthy but it appears that people are saying that the photos have been photoshopped and that she’s not worthy of the cover because it’s not like she is promoting anything.

The only thing interesting about this (to me) is that she speaks about her ex-husband Nick Lachey in the interview. I’ve been watching episodes of Newlyweds and I really want them to get back together one day so it’s nice that I got an update on how that’s going, lol. She said, “I have not spoken to him in years. [As for the show,] in all honesty, I believe it did not affect our marriage. Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish. It made me understand what marriage is, what love is, what commitment is.”
