Following the news Us magazine had bumped Prez Obama off its cover to make way for a special report on Jessica Simpson putting on weight, there were reports yesterday that another American mag, Self, which is a fitness title, had dropped the actress/singer/budding country star off its cover because her curvier figure was in contrast to the mag's keep fit agenda.
But the magazine's editor has denied that is why Simpson is not on her magazine's cover as planned. Editor-in-chief Lucy Danziger told Access Hollywood: "Self would love for Jess to be on our cover. We've had discussions about it but we couldn't find a date… she's very busy".
Responding to media interest regarding her sister's weight gain, Jessica's pop star sibling Ashlee said she was "disgusted" by some of the headlines and comments published, adding they were "belittling to all women". And say what you like about the Simpson sisters, but she's surely right on that point.
