Jennifer has advised Jessica Simpson to “ignore” the public debate over her apparent weight gain.

Jennifer Love Hewitt tells Usmagazine.com she wishes people would stop debating Jessica Simpson’s weight. “I wish they would leave her alone,” she told Us Sunday at Lela Rose fashion show in NYC. Her message to Simpson? “Ignore it, live your life and be happy.”

Hewitt — who was famously mocked in 2007 when photos surfaced of her looking particularly curvy in a bikini — told Us she is tired of the “unreasonable” Hollywood standards when it comes to weight.

“It gets silly,” she told Us. “We’re all supposed to look how we’re supposed to look. We’re made to be different people.

“Not everybody can be super tall and super skinny,” she added. “You have to look inside yourself and find your own confidence. It wavers from day to day, but that’s human nature.”
