Ashlee Simpson's Blog, Plus My Open Letter to Ashlee

Ashlee Simpson's blog post in defense of Jessica Simpson,

I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News.

All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard.

Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend? I seriously doubt it. How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?

Now can we focus on the things that really matter.

Open letter to Ashlee Simpson,

Ashlee, you were headline news when you had your lip synch faux pas on SNL! We've been talking about Barack Obama for the past two years, we're not going to stop covering celeb gossip just because he's in office. And the world won't become this magical place where no one criticizes another just because he's Mr. President. As you said, it's a week after the inauguration, it's time to make fun of Jess!

Weight standards for women in general are stricter than those for men, and female celebrities are no stranger to this form of scrutiny. This is something that you're very familiar with - that's why you chopped off your nose, get weaves and dye your hair red all in a quest to look hot.

Who the eff is a size 2 - cause it ain't Jessica! When defending a woman's figure, why complain about her being a size that she may have been in the past but isn't in the present? Why does Jessica even have to be a size 2 for you to make a point that we shouldn't be discussing her weight gain? Even if she really were a size 0 right now, the camera doesn't lie and the bitch don't look good! Right now she's a size Got Back Fat, Gut and Big Arms.

Just be grateful that you were able to ride her coattails and become famous. In other words, you should be flattered that anyone's talking about Jessica or yo ass.

I still love ya!
