Weight issue doesn’t bother Jessica Simpson

London: Singer-actress Jessica Simpson says she is happy with her curvy figure because "putting on extra pounds" helped her in branding. The 31-year-old, who is expecting her first child with NFL star Eric Johnson, has faced criticism for her fuller figure. "I got so much scrutiny for putting on extra pounds, but I think that the decision not to make myself anorexic was actually great for branding. Because when you`re really, really skinny, not everybody can relate to you," contactmusic.com quoted Simpson as saying. "I like the way I look... Everybody fluctuates, but I`m open about my weight and I`m still confident," she added. IANS
