Kardashian: 'Leave Jessica Simpson alone'

Kim Kardashian has told the media to stop criticising Jessica Simpson for her figure.

Simpson was ridiculed for her size in some American magazines following recent photos of her performing at Pembroke Pines, Florida.

"Call me crazy, but when I saw the picture [of Jessica] I was like, 'Oh my God, Jessica looks hot!'" Kardashian told People.

"I actually love the outfit. I think she looks amazing. I love high-waisted jeans, I loved that belt, and her hair looked fabulous. I get that she does look curvier, but to me, there's nothing wrong in it."

When asked whether she still gets upset about comments regarding her own physique, she said: "It doesn't really bother me anymore. I love curves. Being super skinny just isn't attractive to me.

"When I saw that picture, I knew everyone was going to say something. And I thought, 'You know what? Leave Jessica alone!' She's fabulous, she's a really sweet girl, and I admire her for putting up with it."

Jessica's sister Ashlee wrote a blog post yesterday, claiming that she was "disgusted" by the media's reaction to the snaps.
