Take a look at the picture of Jessica Simpson. Does she look good? I think she does. Does it look as if Jessica has gained some weight? No, it does not, I do not see it, but according to Life & Style, Simpson has gained some weight.

They report that when Jessica Simpson is in love, it shows. And the same holds true when Simpson is in a romance rut.

On the red carpet at the ACE Awards in NYC, Jessica looked roughly 10 pounds heavier – a friend says Simpson has gained weight since the spring, when her love life took a disappointing turn.

All the heartbreak has triggered Jessica’s cravings for comfort food. “She usually gives in to them at bedtime,” says the friend. “When she’s at a hotel, she’ll often order a plate of french fries as a late-night snack.” The friend adds, “She knows it’s not healthy, but she just doesn’t have a lot of willpower right now.”

Since putting on the weight, “Jessica has become self-conscious about her body,” notes an insider. “She’s small, so any extra pounds make her feel chubby.” But the insider adds, Jessica eventually manages to whip herself into shape again: “When she starts to feel really down, she’ll head back to the gym.” [source: Life & Style]
