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.

Simpson was at the centre of a huge furore after fans criticised the singer's weighty appearance when pics emerged showing the starlet looking a little larger than her normally petite self.

However, sources very close to the Simpson family said the apparent "weight gain" has more to do with bad styling and an unfriendly lens.

The source, very close to the pop princess claimed that her weight hasn't actually changed much at all over recent times despite reports to the contrary.

"She's a normal girl and like everyone fluctuates a little but there is no way she gained that much weight," Fox News quoted an insider as saying.

The source added: "It was a really unflattering outfit and a really bad angle. You look at photos taken of her just a couple of weeks earlier and nobody said anything about weight gain, now all of a sudden she's considered fat. Not possible."

But, despite all the flak, reports suggest that Jessica is staying super-strong and won't succumb to any crash diets.

And sources have claimed that there's no truth in reports linking Simpson's supposed plump-up with beau Tony Romo's cheating ways. (ANI)
