Ashlee Simpson Defends Jessica's Body

"I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight," she writes in a blog post . "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 as a headline on Fox News."

At Sunday's Kiss Country Chili Cookout in Pembroke Pines, Fla., Jessica -- dressed in high-waisted jeans and a double belt -- shocked fans with her new curves.

But Ashlee says, "All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard."

Of the negative remarks some bloggers are making about her sister, Ashlee then asks, "Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend? I seriously doubt it."
.
Adds Ashlee, "How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?"
