Jessica Simpson getting fat over breakup

New York (ANI): After bidding adieu to beau Tony Romo, Jessica Simpson is binging on sweets and is once again putting on weight, say her pals. Friends of the 27-year-old star revealed that she was quite distressed to see her recent photos, in which she has put back on all the pounds she has tried so hard to shed over the last year.

And all this weight gain is due to her affiliation with sweets after things soured with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, said her pals.

"When things with Tony got rocky, Jess just went on a sweets binge," New York Daily News quoted a source close to Simpson, as saying. The source added; "She has packed on about 15 extra pounds and is ready to starve herself to drop them again."

Friends believe that Jess, who stayed really fit over the past six months while she was dating an uber-athlete, has now gone lose on her diet.
