Jessica Simpson has been clearly gaining some weight, leading us to believe she actually might be pregnant. Since Jess is currently dating and possibly thinking about tying the knot with Tony Romo, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if she was really knocked up.

We all know having babies in the family (nephew Bronx Mowgli) creates a certain baby crave amongst females. Jess is the oldest sister and of course she wants to start a family of her own. Little sister Ashlee Simpson promptly defended Jess saying her sis is only a size 2 (going 4 or 6!!) on her new blog entry:

“I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight,” Ashlee writes on her blog after photos appeared of Jessica, 28, at the Radio 99.9 Kiss Country’s annual Chili Cookoff on Sunday in Pembroke Pines, Fla.

Under the headline, “Since when did a woman’s weight become newsworthy,” Ashlee says: “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.”

She adds: “All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you’re a celebrity, there shouldn’t be a different standard.”

It’s all speculation for now. Jess has the right, like any other normal girl, to let herself go and get some extra weight on… pregnant or fat?? I guess it doesn’t really matter because the truth is everyone is talking about Jessica Simpson again! Maybe that is exactly what was expected as sources guarantee Jessica’s weight gain is nothing more than a big publicity stunt.

“She’s loving it,” said a source close to Simpson, who suspects her weight gain is strategic. “It will probably get her back on covers right when she is a ’supporting’ act on tour.”

Papa Joe Simpson is reportedly now trying to sell the “entire story” behind Jessica’s weight gain and future weight loss to the highest bidder. Magazines love to sell pseudo-diet secrets and Jessica’s country star career never really took off… Cha-Ching!!

Ashlee Simpson has posted a blog on her official MySpace about motherhood and the birth of her son Bronx Mowgli, sneaking in a cheeky plug for her husband’s new album at the same time.  Read the post after the jump.

The singer posted the following message on Wednesday (December 10)

“Hey everyone! I haven’t written in a while, just wanted to write and check in! Motherhood is the most fantastic experience I have ever been thru, Bronx makes me laugh and smile everyday!

I finally left the house for Fall Out Boy’s show on Monday night, which was so good. Their new songs sound awesome live, I can’t wait for their new record! And last night I went to Pete and Bronx’s godfather Travis’ artshow. It’s amazing to see how many artistic outlets those boys have! Made me very proud. It was an awesome show and so many of our friends and family came out to support.

I hope you guys have a great holiday, I can’t wait to spend it with my new family. Christmas tree goes up tomorrow!

XO Ash”

Ashlee Nicole Simpson, better known by her former stage name Ashlee Simpson and now professionally known as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (born October 3, 1984 as Ashley Nicole Simpson), is an American pop rock singer-songwriter, and occasional actress. Simpson-Wentz, who is the younger sister of pop singer Jessica Simpson, rose to prominence in mid-2004 through the success of her number-one debut album Autobiography and the accompanying reality series The Ashlee Simpson Show. Simpson received widespread criticism when she used a pre-recorded vocal track on Saturday Night Live in October 2004. Following a North American concert tour and a film appearance, Simpson released a second number-one album, I Am Me, in October 2005. Her third album, Bittersweet World, was released in April 2008.

Ashlee Simpson was left more than a little embarrassed when she inadvertently called pop peer Britney Spears trashy in a recent radio interview.

Quizzed about her knowledge on London rhyming slang during a recent visit to the U.K., Simpson was asked what she thought the phrase, “You’ve had one-too-many Britney Spears” meant.

Unaware the term referred to someone who had drunk too much beer, Simpson offered her take on the phrase and immediately wished she had kept her mouth shut.

Speaking on British music show “The Nokia Green Room,” she recalled, “I was like, ‘Oh, you’ve had one too many trashy girls!’ And I was like, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe I just said that!

“It was really bad, I felt horrible.”
