Ah yes, Jessica Simpson has had a rough week, in case you haven’t heard. And just in case you hadn’t heard, she made it well known to everyone that she’s just having a rough week. Yes, what we know is that she has spent more than a whole week battling the fashion bully after she appeared in public in high (but not thin) waisted pants. And she retaliated to those fashion bullies by showing off in a tiny pair of Daisy Duke style shorts onstage in Michigan Thursday night. YIKES! I hope nobody had eaten beforehand. And it was here where Jessica felt the need to woe is me and explain to all of Michigan that she’s had a rough week, so, we’re just passing on the word to those that AREN’T in Michigan. But she says, you have to confront what you go through, and by THAT she is referring to her public meltdown the other night when she performed as the opening act for Rascal Flats. During THIS meltdown, she stopped singing during one of her songs and asked to start it over. Quite a few times. She was also seen sipping a mug frequently during a 40 minute set, forgot her words a few times, and left the stage thanking the band for ‘having her back’. But she says she was just nervous because her voice was feeling weak, and that she just had an off night. Her reps chalk it up to her being a ‘perfectionist’, but didn’t mention what Jessica may have been sipping onstage in front of her fans. And if it’s just the weight gain she is melting down about, she really needs to get over it. Meaning, if what people think of her bothers that much, maybe she should diet back to her former size of Daisy Dukes…but if she’s strong enough to not give a crap, then she should just deal. But you know, if she is forgetting songs and having public meltdowns, my guess is she’s not going to do the Pink ‘just don’t care’ thing. But she can’t say that it’s not happening, the weight gain I mean, which has been her defense since the pregnancy rumor subsided. Even her youngest fans have noticed.

Ellen Simons, 16, of Grand Rapids, said at the concert, “She looked very healthy. I think she is more of a healthy skinny now, rather than skinny-skinny.

Pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? Let’s give her a break. This week…she’s had a rough week, you know!
