Jessica Simpson Defends Her Weight

Pop singer and reality star Jessica Simpson has gotten a lot of flak for her bodacious body throughout her lengthy career, but the buxom blonde admitted that she actually wishes a part of her to be bigger.  "I have a white girl booty," she told the UK’s Closer magazine. "I don’t have a big butt. I’d rather have a happy medium and take some off my chest and put it towards my butt so I could balance out a bit."

Her fluctuating weight caused the star to become tabloid fodder last year, and everyone, even President Obama, was talking about it. "People talked about my weight for an entire year. Being famous for gaining 10 lbs. is ridiculous! I didn’t feel as fat as everybody was making me out to be," she admitted. "Even the president felt he had to make a comment – although I think he was caught off guard as the picture was thrown in front of his face!"

Simpson is feeling a lot more confident lately, and she says it has to do with her new beau, NFL star Eric Johnson, whom she’s been dating since May. –ELENA COX
