Paves: 'Jessica Simpson is not vain'

Ken Paves has revealed that Jessica Simpson worries about what people think of her appearance.

The celebrity stylist, who accompanied Simpson on tour for her recent documentary The Price of Beauty, said that he feels the need to protect his best friend because of the public criticism she endures.

Paves told Us Magazine: "She's the the kind of girl who barely looks in the mirror. She has such a huge conscience. When people call her fat, she worries about the women who are her size or greater and the effect it has on them.

"I don't want anybody saying bad things about you or about me or my friends."

Paves also complained that people pigeonhole him because he is friends with Simpson, saying: "People always relate me to Jessica. They think she gave birth to me or something.

"So they think my whole identity of beauty is blonde, but my mother is Filipino-Portuguese and my father is Romanian Jewish."
