Nick Lachey Defends Jessica Simpson's Curves
Jessica Simpson has another defender of her curvier figure: her ex-husband and reality show costar, Nick Lachey.

"I hope she's happy, whatever size she comes in," Lachey tells Extra. "I wish her nothing but the best."

Lachey, 35, joins a chorus of other celebs supporting Simpson, 28, including sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Kim Kardashian and Heidi Klum.

"I can't believe it's this big of a story and people are making such a huge deal about it," Lachey says. "I'm never ceased to be amazed by people's reaction to things."
