Listen, I don’t claim to really understand what’s going on here, but I have been getting emails from the Speedfit guys all morning begging me to run this clip of a (much thinner) Jessica Simpson recording a workout video.

Says one email, from a guy named Alex:

Finally the Karma is coming back to hunt her because she did not want to approve the SPEEDFIT Workout Video to help Millions of Fat People ! Now, She will get the feeling how is to be FAT

So, yeah. The story’s off to a good start.

And here’s what Defamer has to say about the whole mess:

Shot in 2005, the taping was a reported disaster (MNSBC reported she showed up drunk), and svendaddy Joe Simpson blocked all sales of the tape, resulting in Speedfit owner Alex Astilean suing the Simpsons for $10 million for breach of contract.

An anonymous tipster with a possible axe to grind sent us some of the Speedfit shoot footage. It starts promisingly enough, with Simpson telling us she’s here “to introduce you to the Speedfit system.” Things fly off the rails soon after, however, when system mastermind Astilean poses a brain-collapsing imponderable: “Do you ever see horses doing a marathon?” (Asked, we suspect, to literally confuse the pounds away.)

Then the recorded voice of David Levin—according to this video Simpson’s own business manager—plays over footage of Jessica on a treadmill. In discussing the lawsuit, he says the following:

“Listen. I think you would be justified in calling her a bitch, in calling Joe an asshole…I think Joe will hire the most powerful lawyer and take that contract and shove it so far up your rectum that you’ll never have a Speedfit.”

So … um … thoughts?

Specifically: Do you ever see horses running a marathon?

  • Mhhaaaahaha… this is HILARIOUS! “No. Yes. I don’t know. Um, I’m so confused about the horse right now”. She is beautiful and stuff but she is… incredibly stupid. Btw I don’t think that she is really fat these days. She has gained a LITTLE weight….

    Oh, and horses do run marathons, definitly!

  • I’m sorry but all this is so goddamn lame, Jessica isn’t fat, what the hell are people talking about. Next thing you know, when you’re 30 years old, you weigh 85 pounds and have a 20 inch waist, you’re known to the society as fat.

  • daaaamn girl was lookin fiiiiiine.

    no matter what people have to say about fat/overweight/pudgy wudgy and all that pc nonsense there’s no doubting she looked MUCH better back then.

  • I dunno, Beet, you’re the only person I know who’s run a marathon lately. Did you see any horses??

  • Fat karma!!! Fat karma!!! Wheee!!!!!!

    So now that we have seen the video (therefore ensuring we have heard of Speedfit), will she lose the little weight she’s recently gained? I personally don’t care about her appearance as much as I care about more Joe Simpson stories to laugh at.

  • Do horses run marathons? Can you put a rainbow in your pocket? Can you tell the sky to stop being the sky? No, such is the Mango!

    I forgot how stupid is and plastic-looking she was.

  • Aside from the fact that this infomercial was complete and utter drivel, I just want to point out that, yes, she did look much better then.
    I’m not exactly a small girl myself, and I can still say this. She’s not fat now, but she’s also not looking as great as she did 3 years ago.

  • Jessica may not be a brain surgeon but she has made more money than I have so kudos to her. Also, a lot of the “dumb blond” stuff came from her reality show where she was a VIRGIN that lived with her PARENTS until she got married. Was she stupid in that show or have women just been around the block soooooo many times b4 marriage we forgot how its “suppose” to be? Just a thought. She has many successful (as in revenue producing) business ventures (shoes, acting, singing, etc) and also works as spokesperson for Operation Smile. We can laugh at her all we want but she’s laughing back….all the way to the bank! Rock on lil Jess!!

    • She’s playing chili cook-offs.

      Linking her virginity to her playing a dumb blond makes no sense. She’s stupid, yes, but the two are independent of each other. She’s stupid because she got confused by tuna and buffalo wings. Look at her face when he asked her about the horse. I’ve seen one of her movies, she’s not a good actress. She was genuinely confused.

      And don’t sell your self short. Self-worth shouldn’t be measured by your salary.
