Remember when everyone got all Mia Farrow-ish and wanted to adopt babies from other countries?  It really was the hippest trend until IVF twins appeared on the scene.  Well now there is a new game in town:  talking about how skinny Jessica Simpson is.

Stupid Rachael Ray, while attending a Food Network event, hitched her star onto the Flab-gate bandwagon and blabbed to People about the svelteness of Simpson:

“I wish I could be as thin as Jessica Simpson.  I think she looks gorgeous!  I have had Jessica on my show several times, and I can tell you that girl is genuine and funny with a great self-deprecating sense of humor.  All of the hoopla about her weight was because of the fit of her jeans. In reality, she is a tiny, slip of a woman.”

Seriously, can we move on to some new “thing” that is totally cool to do?  Because I couldn’t get my mind around Uggs, I couldn’t get my mind around $200 headbands and I can’t get my mind around praising Jessica Simpson’s ass.  I just can’t.

Personally, I thought Jessica Simpson looked DAMN GOOD when she performed at Madison Square Garden with Rascal Flatts last night.

I think the whole problem previously was the outfit. I swear she needs a new team of stylists that specialize in “I’m not really a size 2 anymore” wardrobes. This is NOT a fat girl, she just has this tendency to put on a tiny bit of weight and then choose the outfits that emphasize it the most.

Remember when Jessica Simpson could sing? Me neither. Last night she opened for Rascal Flatts in Grand Rapids, Michigan and kind of fell apart. She forgot the words to her own song, “Come on Over”. As she began her last number, she told the audience that she felt like walking off the stage. And when she finally did walk off stage, she was wiping tears from her eyes.  So sad.

Boyfriend Tony Romo missed his flight to meet her which probably threw her totally off course. Or, she lost the key to the minibar in her room. Alright, alright…you didn’t think I was going to get through this without one food joke, did you? I’m done now. It kind of sounds like Jessica’s career might be too.

Video clip is of Jessica, last night, singing “These Boots Are Made For Walking”.  Revel in the talent.

“I wish her nothing but the best and I hope she’s happy — whatever size that comes in.”

ZING!

Nick Lachey weighs in — ha ha no pun intended — on the media frenzy surrounding his ex-wife Jessica Simpson’s weight gain.

Just to highlight exactly how big a deal this has become, our very own President made a comment on it during his Matt Lauer interview for the Super Bowl pre-game broadcast. The clip is below. Watch it now — it’ll be pulled soon.

I think the writers over at Page Six have officially lost their minds.  They did a photo gallery titled “50 Fat Celebrities”.  So, I took a look, and sandwiched in among the likes of Kirstie Alley and Kathy Bates is Elisha Cuthbert.  You know, the hot, blond chick from 24?  I mean, did they just hit a point where they couldn’t think of anyone else so they just threw in some random picture?  Dudes, how about Raven Fucking Symone?  Raven I Love My Curves Symone dodged this bullet and Cuthbert, who admittedly does have some slightly unfortunate knee fat, is one of the top 50 fattest?

I’m feeling kind of depressed today and so did not need to wake up to this.  In fairness, I don’t know how old this picture of Elisha in a bikini is, but I have some in the gallery of Elisha over the past few months.  If this is the definition of fat, I’m scheduling my gastric bypass, stat.  Ah, poetry, and on only two hours of sleep.  You’re welcome.

My other issue is that they had dead dudes on the list like Elvis, Marlon Brando and Orson Welles.  It is my opinion that, once you kick off, you no longer have the privilege of a “Fat Celeb” title.

Other fatty title-holders include Kelly LeBrock, Rachel Hunter, Danielle Fishel and, yup, Jessica Simpson.

Seriously, you guys, how often do we have to do this? A female celebrity gains twenty pounds, stops looking uber-hot, the whole world calls her fat, then the whole world throws a fit about body image, then the fat girl thanks her fans and acts like she loves her body, then she loses thirty pounds and drops her fiance. Because everything was totally fine before. Sigh.

Up now: Jessica Simpson.

In her first performance since the flap over her figure, Jessica Simpson strutted across a Virginia stage in skin-tight leather pants Thursday night and lamented the world’s “completely pointless” focus.

“Thank you for your support,” she told the crowd in Charlottesville at the end of her set. “Stay positive, and pray out loud! I love you guys, good night.”

Simpson, 28, never specifically mentioned the news of her new curves or the vocal support from her sister Ashlee and Kim Kardashian.

But in her performance opening for Rascal Flatts at the University of Virginia’s John Paul Jones Arena, Simpson was no-nonsense and outspoken in her black pants, V-neck T-shirt and hip-length black jacket.

“Please remember, no matter what you go through in life, somebody else might have it harder,” she told the crowd. “So just appreciate.”

Yes, Jessica, somebody else might have it harder … their abs, specifically.

You better BELIEVE Jess is gonna drop that weight and then some over the next couple of months, so I don’t wanna hear any of y’all like, “She looks great, I bet she’s happier than ever and loves her womanly body!” because you know what? She doesn’t.

This shit ran in the New York Post.

And you guys think bloggers are mean.

Wow.

Thanks Carol!
