Jessica Simpson Visits Anorexic Model Isabelle Caro

During her recent guesting on Oprah, Jessica Simpson shares a video clip of her visit to Paris to meet Isabelle Caro, a former model who suffered a severe case of anorexia.

Isabelle Caro has made headlines when she posed nude at 62 pounds for an anti-anorexia billboard.


Along with her friends Ken Paves and CaCee Cobb, Jessica Simpson listens to Isabelle Caro as she tells her story in French. Then the interpreter shares:

"There was the fashion designer who told her you need to lose ten kilos if you want to be in the fashion world. She really decided to stop eating and to lose weight. So that's how she ended up being an anorexic. Three years ago she was in a coma. The doctor said that there was no hope left, but she survived. And after that, she decided that she had to start eating, little by little... And now Isabelle is trying to pass a law in Parliament which says that you can't model when you're too skinny."

Brought to tears by her story, Jessica Simpson tells the brave Isabelle Caro, "To us, what you're doing right now makes you one of the most beautiful people that we have ever seen."

After watching the clip, a teary-eyed Jessica Simpson tells Oprah Winfrey:

"It makes me very emotional because just the pressure that women feel to be thin or to be beautiful - the pressure that the media puts on women - is so unfair and so disgusting."

April Fools Day Prank Features Heidi Klum And Other Celebrities

What’s the funnier way to celebrate April Fools Day than getting a good laugh from famous celebrities like Heidi Klum?


Yesterday, CBS celebrated April Fools Day by showing a prank special called “I Get That A Lot.” Hollywood celebrities including Heidi Klum, Jessica Simpson, and Jeff Probst perform mundane jobs and trick ordinary people in a case of supposed mistaken identity.

The prank show features supermodel and Project Runway host Heidi Klum working at the counter of a pizza shop, Jessica Simpson as an employee of a computer repair store, Survivor host Jeff Probst as the one running the cash register of a grocery store, rapper Ice-T becoming a shoe salesman, singer LeAnn Rimes working as a waitress at a Nashville diner, and host of Extra and Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew Mario Lopez selling hot dogs at a vending stand in New York City's Central Park.

Working ordinary jobs, these celebrities confuse customers who can't decide if it's the actual celebrity or an astonishing look-alike. When people confront them about being famous, they deny their true identity until everything becomes hilarious.

"I didn't wear makeup and I had my hair in a bun with a pencil in it. I got to be the pizza girl. I got to be someone I am normally not. I was quite rude to people. I would bite their pizza and give it to them. I would drop the dough on the floor, pick it up and use it,” Heidi Klum shares her experience.

Watch the prank show here featuring Heidi Klum and see if the elegant supermodel managed to make us laugh for April Fools Day:

Sister Ashlee Defends Jessica Simpson's Fuller Figure

Jessica Simpson recently performed at a concert in Florida wearing high-waisted jeans, obviously gaining pounds. As photos of her Radio 99.9 Kiss performance surfaced on the internet, the fashion critics were quick to blast her fuller figure. Little did they know, the sexy singer has a feisty sister who would be quick to defend her when it comes to weight issues – the equally successful pop rock singer Ashlee Simpson.


Ashlee Simpson wrote on her blog about how "embarrassing and belittling" were the comments for her fuller sister. Her journal reads,

“I am completely disgusted. Since when did a woman's weight become newsworthy? How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticise a size two figure? A week after the inauguration of US President Barack Obama 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. All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard."

Aside from sister Ashlee Simpson, there were also other people who came to defend Jessica over her weight gain. Her personal trainer Harley Pasternak stressed out that Jessica is not fat, she just has “curves where a woman needs to have curves. She's still sexy. She's still a beautiful woman. And I have no problem with the way she looks."

According to reports, Jessica Simpson's boyfriend Tony Romo also had no problem with Jessica's new body figure (which is really quiet far from her “Daisy Duke” days). “He thinks Jess is hot no matter what. He wants to date a girl who can have a few beers, ribs, fries and dessert," says a source.

Well, if there's one person who would welcome Jessica Simpson's new look, it's her family and loved ones. Of course, feisty little sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz really did a good job.

Still, there's one person who can objectively comment on Jessica Simpson's figure – the reporter who interviewed her during the Florida show, DJ Scott Simon: "People are saying she put on a few pounds. But she looked fabulous. Confident, healthy and happy."

Needless to say, the reporter went on to dismiss claims that the sexy singer has lost her good looks – Jessica Simpson may have become fuller, but she's now feeling more confident and happy with her body. Thanks to her sister Ashlee Simpson and those who have stood beside her against the weight issue, Jessica Simpson's fuller figure will no longer be a source of wide criticism, for now.
