Ashlee Simpson Sounds off on Fox News Jessica Simpson Weight Gain Story

Ashlee Simpson is not too happy about all the headlines about sister Jessica Simpson’s weight gain, citing Fox News’ Jessica Simpson story and defending big sis’ curves.
Ashlee Simpson tells fans at her MySpace blog:
“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.
-Ash”
