Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is disgusted about her sister’s weight. Well, it’s the media frenzy about Jessica Simpson’s extra curves that has Ashlee so mad. “Since when did a woman’s weight become newsworthy,” asks Ashlee.

“I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight,” Ashlee writes on her website. “A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman’s weight or figure as a headline on Fox News.”

The fat talk began just a few days ago after Jessica appeared at Sunday’s Kiss Country Chili Cookout in Pembroke Pines, Florida, sporting high-waisted jeans that were not as flattering.

A lawsuit involving late actor Heath Ledger’s 10 million dollar life insurance policy has been settled.

ReliaStar Life Insurance initially had refused to pay out on Ledger’s 10 million dollars life policy over pending investigation into whether the actor committed suicide.

But, the lawyer representing the actor’s daughter Matilda’s trust, William Shernoff, said that the insurance company has agreed to settle the case.

Shernoff had threatened to sue ReliaStar for “tens of millions of dollars” in punitive damages for emotional distress caused to Ledger’s loved ones, reports News.com.au.

However, Shernoff said: “A confidential settlement has been reached. The parties are pleased we have been able to settle it amicably.”

Shernoff would not reveal how much Matilda would receive, citing the settlement’s confidentiality clause.

Ledger took out the 10 million dollars life insurance plan in June, 2007, and made Matilda the beneficiary. (ANI)
