Us Weekly Mobile - Celebrity News - Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Hudson Discuss Slimmer Bodies in Weight Watchers Commercial

January 2, 2013

Jennifer Hudson is passing the torch to Jessica Simpson.

The slimmed-down singers have joined forces for a new Weight Watchers 360 commercial, which will air beginning Jan. 3.

"I was overweight my whole life," Hudson, 31, admitted in the ad. "I figured I was just born that way." (The Dreamgirls star has lost more than 80 pounds since teaming up with company in 2010.)

Wearing a figure-flattering black ensemble, Simpson added, "I obsessed about my weight my whole life. . . I was always on some new life-stopping diet." Participating in the Weight Watchers program, the pregnant star explained, "lets me be me."

For the next few months, Hudson will be the brand's main spokeswoman. Simpson, 32, "will not be following the program" during her second pregnancy, Weight Watchers recently announced. The "I Wanna Love You Forever" singer -- who was hired for $4 million -- is expected to resume Weight Watchers after the birth of her second child.

Us Weekly broke the news of the Fashion Star mentor's baby news in November. Simpson and her fiance, Eric Johnson, welcomed daughter Maxwell Drew in May.

Both of these girls have said be strong about how you are made yet for 4million bucks they will change their opinion.. Its a sell out i would believe weightwatchers worked if they paid common everyday people to be their spokes people. Jessica also did proactive commercials and her skin got better by going to a dr. It was on the reality show! I dont believe a word she says.

I hate how jessica gets bash for her weight. Why do ppl say she will never be the size she was in dukes of hazards? Did she say that's where she wants to be...i think not. Some are seriously cyber bullying her about her weight if she fine about how much she lost then she doesn't need critizism from others about it
