Jessica Simpson Ponders A Question Of The Ages: Uh, Does Working At Radio Station Sponsored Chili Cook-Offs Mean My Career Is Officially Over?

She was once America’s sweetheart, hawking boxed perfume gift sets and buffalo wings to the masses; now we find her wearing mom jeans and back fat, belting out her country tunes at a local chili fest.  Jess was the featured act this weekend at 99.9 Kiss Country 24th Annual Chili Cook-Off.

It’s time for a comeback.  And a Pilates class.

  • I’d rather see a woman with meat on her bones than a walking stick figure. We , as women, need to lighten up on other women when it comes to weight. If she was too skinny people would be talking crap about that. She’s still very pretty.

    • I completely agree, but I also think you should try to be aware of the types of clothes that look good on your body. She can’t necessarily wear the same clothes she always did (when she was 10 years younger), but yes, she is still a beautiful woman.

    • I would almost bet that her BMI is at an unhealthy number at this point. For her to gain weight like that, I think there are deeper issues at hand. That’s a pretty hefty gain in a rather short period of time. Hopefully she is looking into it medically, because despite it being okay to have meat on her bones, it’s not okay to be unhealthy.

  • Wow. This is a bittersweet moment for me, cause I kinda sorta secretly root for her.

    But while I feel bad for Jessica, I am elated that I currently have a better figure than her.

    My god. She really looks like shit.

  • Well, to be fair, I think that outfit would look horrible on just about anyone. I realize Jess isn’t exactly raking in the big bucks with her singing career these days, but can she not spring for a stylist to tell her “NO!” ?

  • oh no – she’s gorgeous. that’s just a hideous outfit. i agree with shan. when women are critical of each other, it just gives men more power to be critical of us. and that’s a big no-no.

    • mean girls, anyone? “but you all have got to stop calling each other sluts and whores. It just makes it ok for guys to call you sluts and whores.”

      She CANNOT be eating healthy and working out. her JOB is to look good and workout. it’s not like she has some kind of 8-5 desk job that semi-excuses her to let herself go. her career is singing and looking good. clearly, FAIL at both.

      • that’s not her job. her job is to sing, which she was doing. so it’s okay for business people to blame their job if they are fat? wtf?

  • richer than “everyone” else here, you say BiPolar Betty? Uh, she’s singing for chili dogs! You might want to rethink that response.

    True, she’s rounder but she’s softer than “most” everyone else here.

  • OK girls, we all know that it would suck if your younger sister just had a baby and you were fatter than her! Jessica Simpson isn’t meant to be a stick, and that’s fine… but that outfit doesn’t help accent her curves in a good way. She needs to get real with herself and accept the curves with dignity and burn those pants!

  • Bless her heart… this is what happens when you let your father “manage” your career.

    He has completely lost his mind.

    But hell would have to freeze over before she ever get a clue and fired him.

    If she hired a legit manager… who had a clue… she could turn the career around. But instead she is making straight to video movies and singing at a chili cookoff.

    I bet Nick Lachey is laughing his ass off by now… at least he has got to keep some sort of dignity. And was smart enough not to let her father manage his career. Or he too could be singing at that chili cookoff! haha!

    And seriously…. what happen to her clothes? She used to be dressed so well… in gorgeous dresses.

    Now she has some awful weave and wearing unflattering jeans.

  • who in gods name told her with a straight face that yes, tht outfit looks good on her. i mean she’s probably still like a size 6 which is not fat by any means but…those jeans….not okay

  • OMG you people, she is not fat nor does she have an unhealthy BMI. I admit she looks horrible because of those disgusting pants.

      • the middle bump could be caused by horrible, too-tight jeans and retarded belt thing.

        and the arm overflow could be from an ill-fitting bra.

    • I agree. At best her BMI would be slightly overweight which is not exactly critical mode for anyone who isn’t a celebrity. She’s maybe gained what, like 10 pounds? A few weeks of pilates and some weights and homegirl will be fine.

      • Isn’t she pretty tall? I imagine it would take more than 10lbs to add that much visual evidence. Technically, I think I am happy about it. I fully intend to show the pictures to my husband and tell him to thank his lucky stars.

  • Ack!! I wouldn’t say she’s fat, she’s just squished herself into some god awful clothes. Seriously, who let her go out there like that??

  • looks like they paid her in 25% fat beef chili. she looks awful, which doesn’t matter except for the fact that she has used her looks as leverage to get money and attention.

    once her magic powers go away that she’s used against us, she needs to be made fun of

  • wow… all i can say is i hope the rumors that she is pregnant with twins are true… and then maybe i won’t feel so bad for agreeing with most of the comments on here. if she was a regular chick, who cares if she gains weight. however, she’s a “celebrity.” it is her job to make me feel self-conscious about my body; not make me wanna take her to the nearest curves. wtf?!

  • It looks like those are tapered jeans….are there no full-length shots of her?? Was the photographer just trying to spare us the ultimate horror of the outfit?

  • I don’t know what’s worse, the idea of being at a chili cook off or those jeans. Her vagina looks 5 feet long in them. Honestly though, I feel bad for her. She’s been doing all these small gigs lately, it’s sad.

    The weight gain might be the result of being on the pill.

  • Oh dear!
    I miss the good ole’ days when life was simpler, the newly weds were still married, and buffalos had wings.

  • Looking good is no longer her job, sucking quarterback cock is, well that and singing at chili cook offs and wearing pants that chafe her nipples

  • you guys are totally fucked up. I bet almost all of you are fatter than her, and all of you are less pretty.

    fucking people.

  • i think she is still skinny and that is those ugly lookin pants that make he look fat!
