There have been danger signs. First, the sudden weight gain, as evidenced by pictures that turned up in the tabloids earlier this year showing the starlet, onstage, looking less than slender, holding the microphone like a turkey leg, and wearing what were described everywhere as “mom jeans.”

All this came amid a cascade of career setbacks. Her record sales, for example, which peaked in 2003, when her show was in its prime, have fallen ever since. (The country album sold fewer than 200,000 copies.) Her movies: Blonde Ambition, a bastard child of Working Girl and Legally Blonde, which opened in December 2007 in just eight theaters in Texas, where it grossed $1,771 on its opening weekend; followed by Major Movie Star, which went straight to DVD last spring, where it sank without a trace, like a wounded ocean liner that goes down quietly, sending up no more than a storm of bubbles.
In short, it’s been a bad time for Jessica Simpson: flop, flop, country flop, fat picture.

Jessica seemed nervous. Her hands trembled. She ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio. It seemed to calm her. She didn’t want to talk about her weight, so, of course, that’s all I could think of—it gilded each question in my mind: What are you working on now [that you’re fat]? Do you see yourself as part of a class, with Christina and Britney [or are you too fat]? Do you feel that your relationship with Tony Romo has affected his performance as a quarterback [because you are fat]?
