Jessica Simpson's weight gain

I can't believe all the fuss about Jessica Simpson's weight gain.
You can see the story by fox news at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,483204,00.html

Yes she is a "star" and for some reason people always like to point out when the "stars" get fat. Guess what first and foremost she is a person. People should treat her like a person. She is also someone that many teenagers and young adults look up to. Making a big deal about her weight gain can make a big impression on these people. We wonder why there are so many people with eating disorders well now we know at least part of the problem. This is not a new issue and has been going on for years. One day maybe someone will become aware of the added stressors placed on young people by these types of comments.

Here is a what Jessica's brother in law had to say
