Jessica Simpson might be “hurting millions of fat people in America” by banning the release of a workout tape produced by fitness video company Speedfit, according to owner Alex Astilean. But there are some good reasons she doesn’t want the tape made public.

“Jessica was a mess during that shoot. She had no focus, she put out something that was entirely unusable,” said a source close to Simpson. “They asked her to come back and reshoot, but she refused, and that’s why she’s facing a lawsuit now.”

So what’s the big deal? Isn’t this how we are used to seeing her?

A magazine that worked with Simpson in the past said that this is a typical problem:

“The (magazine) shoot was an absolute disaster. She showed up and looked like she’d been drinking,” said the magazine editor. “We were there for hours and we had maybe three usable photos from the shoot. We asked for another shoot, and she refused.”

No comment from Simpson. A rep for Simpson simply replied, “This is a legal matter and in the hands of attorneys.”

Sounds like typical Jessica behavior to me. Anyway, who cares. It’s not like she’s an expert on weight loss anyway. She’s always been about 90 pounds soaking wet. She actually burns calories doing simple addition. Jessica is not going to help anybody lose weight. Now teaching people to act like a dim-witted and spoiled Barbie doll, there she has some credibility.

Although looking at the above pic, she might become a chunker yet. And I have an uncanny gift in determining such things. You might say I’m psychic when it comes to future cellulite.

I am prophesizing that Jessica Simpson’s “chunker date” is January 11th 2009. Just wait and see. By that date she will be larger.

After the week that “Indiana Jones” creator Steven Spielberg has had we here at PopTherapy would like to offer our counseling services to him. It certainly sounds like he needs to see a shrink.

First was the incident where a young and dumb extra blabbed to the press about what he saw while playing a Russian soldier, things like who the villain of the movie is (hello Cate Blanchett!) and what she does to get Indy to talk about where he hid a crystal skull. Spielberg’s representatives came down so hard on the loudmouthed extra that he settled with them out of court this week. Then followed another horrible experience as a thief stole thousands of documents, photographs and even the script for the fourth Indiana Jones movie, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, right out of the Los Angeles offices where Steven works! To add insult to injury the thief then tried to sell all of the sensitive Indy material to unscrupulous websites (PopTherapy was not one of them and for that we’re hurt) only to find himself caught by L.A. police posing as undercover webmasters. Charges were filed against Roderick Davis, 37, which he promptly denied ever doing. Sure Roderick, all these photos of Harrison Ford wearing a fedora were accidentally put in with your pick-up order from One Hour Photo, right? It must happen all the time.

Davis is out on a $100,000 bail bond and could face up to four years in prison if convicted. On the bright side he would be getting out right about when the latest Indiana Jones movie would be playing on television.

Give us a call soon Steven, we can help you!
