Unfortunately forJessica Simpson, there’s not much else going on this week in the news. So the story about her recent weight gain is the topic of conversation everywhere!

It seems everyone wants to put in their two sense about it, and thankfully for Jess, most people are siding with her.

The latest person to weigh in on the situation is her ex-husband Nick Lachey. He spoke to Extra last night about it, and was shocked about what a huge headline it’s become.

He said, “I can’t believe it’s this big of a story and people are making such a huge deal about it. I’m never ceased to be amazed by people’s reactions to things.”

He went on to pass along some nice words for Jessica, saying, “I wish her nothing but the best and I hope she’s happy — whatever size that comes in.”

Well, even though Jessica and Nick don’t seem to have any sort of relationship with each other anymore, at least they’re still on good terms. And if you thought Nick’s statement was nice, just listen to what the rest of Hollywood has to say! At least Jess can sleep tonight knowing that a lot of people in the biz have her back!

Here’s what other celebs are saying:

Tori Spelling:
“I think she looks great. To be honest, I haven’t noticed a difference, so all of a sudden when I saw her on the cover, in my opinion, she’s [still] Jessica Simpson. You know what this means? She’s still really popular.”

Nicky Hilton:
“I think it sucks. I think the media is very cruel with that stuff.”
