Washington, Feb 4 : Jessica Simpson's family has insisted that the singer has not gained weight, and recent pictures showing her `curvy' figure are nothing but the result of bad wardrobe selection and wrong camera angle.

Washington, Feb 3: A comment that U. S. President Barack Obama had made about Jessica Simpson in an interview with Matt Lauer has left many wondering whether he called her fat.
