Jessica Simpson
Alright, Alright. We need to settle this once and for all right here and right now. (I first saw this issue on antisoccermom’s site).
Would you describe Jessica Simpson as a little chubby?

No.
No! It’s the outfit and the angle…and likely some sodium retention from her bf…
No.
No. To me, chubbiness implies being overweight, which she doesn’t appear to be.
absolutely not.
No, she’s fucking hot.
Speaking as a much maligned and villainized skinny slender woman…
I would say absolutely not.
not even close. those pants just do nothing for her belly. that’s why mom jeans went out in the early 90s.
Pudgey maybe, but not fat.
yes in that foto
People need to respect her. She is not chubby. Her publicist wouldn’t even allow that. She’s not a size 0, but who in the world set a non-existent number as the standard. She is beautiful just as she is. Thanks media for perpetuating 10 year old girls vomiting to stay thin.
Nah
No.
I would not say she is chubby. I would, however, say that she needs to wear different pants.
Mmm… sexy.
Nah.
Not even close.
Well, I wouldn’t say that she is lean.
No way.
No!!! That outfit is ugly on her
Not really.
Anyone thinking so, has warped sense of what a woman should look like. A lot of woman have a very warped idea of what they should look like.
thats a bad angle
no.. and even if she was so what?
yes, she’s fat. kill me, but she’s in hollywood. homegirl needs to lose some weight.
Absolutely not! She looks very healthy.
hell to the no ;D
I love her belt! but I guess the jeans,not working for her? Oh, well. She’s still fabulous.
I would definitely not say that. She may have put on a few pounds in the last few years but she is still FAR from chubby. I think that the picture was intended to create criticism like this and that she made a poor choice in pants.
who cares lol… even if she was its not like the world would suddenly end
she’s super skinny compared 2 alot of the fat American’s waddling around these days
In that photo she looks chubby.
Chubby? Nope. Ugly Clothes? Hell yes!
NO.
No, just a not flattering outfit… for anyone.
Chubby? Definitely not… she is a fuller figure than she was though.
No.
With any other outfit or angle she would look like any of those other skinny celebrities.
At this angle, she looks like a normal person.
i think she looks healthy
I really don’t know, but I do know she’s sexy nonetheless.

she’s definitely gained weight, but i don’t know if “chubby” is the right adjective to describe her. anyway, i don’t get the big deal, it’s not like she’s gained 100 lbs. she just put on a bit of weight… definitely not news-worthy and as controversial and the media has made it out to be.
nope
Yes..and that outfit is atrocious
By Hollywood standards, yes. By the standards of sane people, no.
NO! {enough said!!!}
THIS is a curvy woman. Curves =/= chub.
why the hell would anyone care?
and no. she looks she’s at a healthy weight.
not at all. its the pants….they are tooo high waisted … i dont think she looks chubby at all–just healthy. she is goregous.
haha wow…if she’s fat, im HUGE.
anyone who would call her over-weight must be anorexic.
I don’t think she is fat, she looks good.
I like Jessica Simpson, any way she comes. Very attractive lady.
this picture looks distorted.
and i think its the outfit.
people need to calm down.
-___-
Not at all.
NOOOOO:[ shes curvy
Very hot!
@LissaIssa - hahaha.
and no. she looks normal for once.
dan, i come to your site to read about interesting things in the news and what people think about it, not opinions on bullshit society norms of beauty.
No, I’d describe Rosie O’Donnel as chubby.
@StrongLetterI - poor dan :/
he’s just trying to fulfill everyones needs.
some people may actually like this.
nope
No, but she looks heavier than she actually is because of her outfit. That outfit IS NOT for her. You have to be stick-thin to pull off that outfit. One curve and you will look fat in it.
Skinny no, but skinny’s gross. She’s got a fine ass (minus the pants…ha, I mean they’re ugly pants)! For one, not my place to tell her what to do. For two, not hollywood’s place. For three, losing weight is overrated. As long as she’s healthy (looks like it), comfortable, and sane…who the frig cares.
She big arms, but that’s about it. Hey, I have big arms too, but I’m not fat…
Definitely
For someone who is paid ludicrous amounts of money to stay fit and “ideal-sized”, I’d say she’s pushing it. Part of me thinks she did this for a publicity move though. I mean, why go out in public dressed like that if you had a significant weight gain? My guess is now that she’s on every magazine cover in the U.S., they’ll check back in 2 months, and she’ll be hot again, and everyone will buy whatever diet product she’s endorsed.
She still looks really good though. Just not Hollywood-skinny.
@queenofstyrofoamhearts - thank god some one else sees that! i thought i was alone! she is fat. :[ sad but truee.
I’ve never liked Jessica Simpson. I’ve always found her face to be very weird, something about her jaws and eyes and eyebrows that just don’t go well together. And her smile creeps me out. And YES SHE’S FAT, by Hollywood standard. Those who say she’s not fat probably weigh about the same as if not more than her and are clearly in denial.
No. Just badly dressed.
No she is pretty much perfect.
She is the sexiest gal that ever crossed the screen scene and she is a great singer toooo. She is definitely not fat. Is sex appeal in the eye of the beholder? nah. Every woman is beautiful when she smiles. Even my ‘ol lady.
she has a body like ummm, i dunno. but i’d tap that.
@bunniebutt - Harsh! Entirely too harsh.
@Pyrra - some people actually liking it is part of the problem. obsession over a celebrity’s weight and/or image is so incredibly unimportant and affects so very few people that it boggles my mind as to why anyone finds it interesting.
it’s just inane gossip.
She’s fat. Sorry, J, but you gained weight and it doesn’t look so good. Lose ten pounds and maybe.
No. She looks cute in that pic.
Whoa, she’s healthy now?
I think the angle and clothes are what make her seem a little bigger for her normal. She is by no means chubby. She may have gained one or two extra pounds which would probably take her a day to lose. She is one of the most naturally beautiful woman out there to me.
I don’t think she is fat. Her body type isn’t meant to be super skinny. I hated when she lost weight to fit into the standard.
She has a wonderfully beautiful hourglass shape. I’m envious.
No, and I fail to see the importance of the issue.
that picture makes her seem a little chunky… For her position and job she could stand to lose a few..fo sho
No. The outfit and angle make her look that way though.
Yes she is chubby. Definitely. For all cases where “chubby” = “freakin awesome”. She’s triple gorgeous. Be still my beating heart.
As already stated: No, but that outfit is terrible for her figure.
Leave her alone!
Compared to those waif celebrities she has to stand next to all the time… anyone would look big.
nope not really…she’s still probably a size 4-6… the pants are not very flattering though
I find it hard to believe that is even her! She looks like she has gained a lot of weight. Is this the same lady that was on Newly Weds?
ooomg no!
she has an awesome body and those who trash it are jealous and weird.
no freakin’ way. is she supposed to look like a 10 year old kid? assinine
Not at all. The outfit she is wearing is just not flattering to her figure.
the photo is unflattering
but no, she is not chubby.
Nope.
No, I would describe myself as a little chubby.
She’s chubbier than I remember.
And the outfit is so not flattering. It’s not helping.
No way. You can see she’s put a little weight on (mainly by her face) but other than that she looks the picture of health. She’s normal size! Not stick thin. She looked happy in those pics
Not really, it’s the mom jeans, but her face doesn’t help her appearance much, anyways.
No. She’s “curvy”
A little ‘chubby’? Maybe. Not really. i’ve seen lots of people calling her fat. And she’s not anywhere near being fat. Saying she’s FAT is just ridiculous.
I am SO glad to see that most of the responses I looked at are no! I figured everyone would be saying yes, and I think she looks just fine, though I agree the camera angle isn’t great. People have such a warped view of what a normal female figure should look like that it’s good to see someone who actually doesn’t look like a beanpole!
no.
Not at all!
The media is focusing on this WAY too much
no.
Relative to what we’re used to her looking like http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/TRND/FP8572~Daisy-Duke-Posters.jpg (That’s a similar angle), yes she does. But in general, she looks fine.
compared to before, definitely yes. but anything wrong with that? definitely no. im about the same size as she is right now.
Less “pudgy” and more “womanly.” I think she’s actually starting to look like an actual woman.
Yes she is.
Still hot though.
Not a flattering outfit.
i’d still hit it.
She looks chubby in that outfit…put her in another one I’m sure she’d be “normal.”
well she aint skinny. I’d say she’s more average but not far from chubby
She does look a little heavier than usual, but not fat.
She looks healthy and she’s certainly not unattractive.
I am just as proportionally fat as she is–what I mean is I’m pretty curvy for my frame, and honestly I don’t think that means I’m fat and I don’t think JS is fat either–she looks good with meat on her bones.
Not at all.
not at all. those jeans suck though.
Yea, that picture doesn’t look as bad, but some angles of her are not very flattering. She will always be a curvy woman no matter how in shape she gets (and I mean curvy as in hour-glass shaped due to her butt and boobs) but lately she has packed on a few. Mainly her arms and face is where I see it the most in the picture you have displayed.
I don’t think those pants–and the belt–would look good on anyone. I think she’s what older, Yiddish-speaking grans would call ‘zaftig’ (‘juicy’, full-figured, etc)–like Marilyn Monroe was at times. She might be heavier now–but if she was killing herself trying to stay the way she was–maybe she’s happier this way.
for a celebrity/entertainer, a little, yes.
chubbier than before, yes.
xxmusicxxfreak
well in that picture, maybe just a bit.
Maybe just a little.
I can’t help but admire her in-ear receiver though.
She’s bigger than she was, but she looks OK. However, she will not look good on the camera with the extra pounds.
No.
No. However, that double belt thing makes it look like she is trying to hide her stomach with a second belt! The outfit looks stupid, but she certainly does NOT look chubby. I feel bad for the poor girl. Too much pressure.
in my personal opinion, she looks like she’s at a perfectly healthy weight; she’s not big, but she’s not too thin, either. basically, she looks – to me – like what a normal, healthy woman should look like. the standards of hollywood/fame may have altered people’s perception of what’s thin/fat, but … that doesn’t change reality, and the reality is … she’s just not that big – at all. it’s a bad angle, and a horrid outfit. x] a lot of how your body looks is in how you dress it.
@heidenkind - That might help.
No. She’s in the middle of BMI, and she’s healthy.
Hell, no she’s a size 8.
In the picture I saw in the newspaper/tabloid she looked like in ASM’s site. And she looked very big to me in THAT picture. I mean you have to consider what she looked like before. For *her* it looks like a significant weight gain.
Now that you put up THIS picture of the same day, she looks ok to me. If anything scares me is the women who are pregnant and stay tiny, or the ones that had a baby and walk out the next day wearing a bikini as if the whole weight dropped off with the baby. Or people bashing the women who actually remain chubby once they give birth.
A lot of it’s the angle. But in Hollywood, those arms would be classified as too big, or chubby. I think she is skinny!
No, she’s curvy. You should have used her pic in that womens body types post.
I don’t get why it’s a big deal and everywhere, I mean, eventually some people gain weight. She’s not chubby, it’s normal.
No Way! Bad angle and bad oufit!
No, she’s beautiful.
nah nah nah… SHe’s H-O-T. XP
She’s effing gorgeous. Who cares if she gained some weight? She’s in no-way less attractive.
no..but hollywood thinks all women should be a size 00
no way! She looks so much healthier than some women in Hollywood.
No.
Horrible jeans, but she is not at all chubby.
uh, yeah
gross :X
No. She just has big hair :-p
Absolutely not. She’s actually healthier looking now. She was much too thin before. And it really pisses me off that there are people out there who think this body size is actually fat. What is WRONG with them? My god.
NO! Her clothes are horrid and terrible for her figure, but the girl is like a size 4. It scares me that a size 4 is considered fat! I know she isn’t exactly the same as she was a few years ago, but people age! I’m sick of hearing she’s fat (and I’m also not a big fan).
I agree with @trunthepaige - it’s like there’s a warped sense of what average or better-than-average women do/should look like.
She got some white girl badunkadunks.
she is number 1 in my book, would never throw her under the bed, would be perfect in my pad
maybe it’s the angle … but it’s chubby!
Its a nice butt shot. LoL.
she is chubby compared to how she used to look, but chubby compared to normal women? NO
That picture makes it seem like she gets up on stage dressed like an animal and makes weird noises into the mic.
I like her.
I think she’s voluptuous, and gorgeous…
She’s not fat, she’s not skinny, she’s HEALTHY and normal. I hate that people think she’s fat, when she’s not.
eh, she might be a little chubby, but i figure it’s well within her normal BMI range.
<3 micalyn
NO! And I’d find out who shot that photo and poke them in the eye! It’s tough enough just being a female in this society!!
I see her as healthy. And, if she was fat, so what?
she makes more money than you ever will
Not really. Slightly pudgy, but it’s not a bad looking pudgy. I agree with what most of the other people said, it’s mostly the clothes and the angle.
she looks cute to me. as long as your healthy the rest is just for looks.
no , she looks fine , just not in that pic
She’s getting there.
she isn’t fat! not even close! that is a horrible outfit for her and also a bad picture.
Oh hell no! I thinks she is almost as fine as my friend Rose and Rose is very sexy!!!
She gained a little weight. Chubby? Hardly. She just wore an outfit that wasn’t really for her. So after that pic got out, every gossip mag and site went nuts. Especially catty old Perez. I mean sure that’s his job but wow…reading his entries made it seem like he had a personal beef with poor Jess. And people seem to be pouncing harder and faster with their comments, comics, and jokes. It has gotten to her a bit and people are still laughing. She’s just fine to me. I have always considered her to be a very beautiful person. Screw Hollywood and all the morons who want to consider a stick size as the standard.
no
chubbier than she was years ago
def not!
her outfit is a hot mess, but she’s lookin’ fiercccce. they really should have taken the picture at a different angle.
it’s the pants!
No. Absolutely not.
No.
She looks like she actually eats food.
Her face looks more round but she is not fat.
Hell no. She looks great, and not in that pathetic “real women have curves” kind of way. This, from someone who thinks her brain is made of balsa wood. I can still be objective…
Uumm no. I think she’s thick and sexy
haha.
She’s not chubby but it looks like this isn’t one of her better days.
no way! in fact, i’m surprised she’s normal now. (=
I work at a fine dining restaraunt in Southlake, Tx, which is near where her parents live. She was there recently and let me tell you she is a tiny person. I’m not one to defend celebrities by any means and I think she is pretty dumb; however, she is not chubby. You know shes like 5’2″ and someone that short doesnt need a lot of weight to seem big. In person she was really small and looked like a size zero to me
its attitudes like the ones above that make the fact that she’s not stick thin anymore such a big deal. Whether she’s chubby or not why the hell should it matter. She’s still beautiful and she’s still doing her job which is to sing, not to be a size 0.
If that’s “a little chubby,” then I’m afraid the vast majority of women must be porpoises.
The media loves to rag on celebrities who get pictures taken at bad angles. While I wouldn’t say I’m a fan (simply because I really don’t know much of her music), I do think she’s very pretty. And if you’ve ever seen her in the Dukes of Hazard movie, you’d know she’s definitely not fat, either. Far from it.
it’s the jeans. horrible.
No. People are only comparing her to what she was before and she was too skinny before.
Yes. It’s not the angle, her muffin top is hanging over her belt.
Only about the face; the rest of her looks fine!
No, no and no!!! That’s probably the best she’s ever looked.
so she gained some damn weight, teh woman is a WOMAN!!! And looks good!! The only one thing jes is lacking in is her strength in her voice. Shes not at soulful as she used to be
She is definitely not chubby. However, that outfit isn’t very flattering for her.
perhaps if she wore clothing that fit properly , she wouldn’t look like she’s splurging out of everything …
i’d say she’s curvy
Not in that picture and not that angle, but if you look at the other ones of her at the same event in various shots, then yeah definetly and it’s neither a good thing nor a bad thing that she has put on weight.
A little, maybe it’s the angle of how the photo was taken. She have killer ass if that makes it better.
Oh my freaking goodness. Not even a little bit.
Shoot, I wish I was her size. =/
Over 60% of the American population is considered overweight or obese. I’m PRETTY sure she isn’t one of them…
Yes.
Uh.. no. The outfit is atrocious. She needs a new ,… whatever they call them.. um dresser. no, that’s not it.. What’s that word.. oh yeah, Stylist. She needs a new stylist. Country doesn’t mean dowdy. maybe she should go Vegan. lol Did wonders for Carrie Underwood!
No! If anyone saw her on the street they wouldn’t think for a second that she was fat. That outfit is just really unflattering. People are basing this whole new idea of her on what, 2 photos? Stupid.
in this photo from that angle, yes. overall no.
no not at all
More relevantly, I’d describe her as a little brainless.
in this pic maybe… ‘cus it’s in a really bad angle… otherwise no way.. she’s not even close to being fat
sexy but not fat
