Pregnant Jessica Simpson's Weight Watchers Deal Is in Jeopardy!
December 5, 2012

Jessica Simpson has lost points with Weight Watchers.

In the Dec. 17 issue of Us Weekly (on stands Friday), a source says execs are livid that their new spokeswoman, 32, got pregnant just seven months after welcoming daughter Maxwell. "They're furious at Jessica," says the source of the star, who has a $4 million deal to shed to the pounds.

The source adds, "She was already on thin ice with them since she didn't lose enough for a the first ad, when they had to shoot from the waist up."

As a result, Simpson's second campaign -- celebrating a 70-pound loss -- may not air. "They don't think it can run," the source explains. "No one wants to hear about a pregnant woman dieting." (A Simpson pal counters that the ads will see the light of day: "It was Weight Watchers' idea to shoot her from the waist up the first time.")

For more on Simpson's endorsement drama, watch this week's Hot Stuff video, as explained by Us Weekly senior editor Bradley Jacobs.

What is she successful at - no, what is she talented at. It's not acting and not singing. Being a moron - yes

Btw, it upsets me to hear they are furious that she didn't loose weight fast enough. She lost a lot more than the average woman and the ads clearly state results not typical. Thought she did great myself. Especially considering she probably had a personal chef and trainer. I do know she worked out all the time. Everyone loses differently, some have trouble losing baby weight.

I don't understand the big deal. I thought she done a great job promoting them considering she lost a lot of baby weight, fast. They should be happy for her and either continue through the pregnancy and show that its a healthy/safe way, even during pregnancy. Or they should pause the contract and pick up again after the birth. That would give them even better press if she can do it a second time.

She was very thin in the Halloween pic. She really looked good. Y didnt they do a commercial then? Anyway it would be good to see her staying with weight watchers and seeing them help her thru the pregnancy. But they r probably afraid she will gain too much and make them look bad. People r so sickening anymore. She is a sweet girl and ppl should just lay off.

I think ww should keep her on the program while pregnant. Maybe this time she can set a good example of a healthy weight gain. With three kids i never gained more then 35lbs.I'm now 42 and still where a size 6.It's all about self-respect and self-control
