Eminem says he was reluctant to make fun of a fat Jessica Simpson in his latest video “We Made You.” Now, Eminem is notorious for bashing celebrities but he actually has a soft spot for someone in the Simpson Camp. Tony Romo!

Eminem told Detroit’s Metro Times (via usmagazine.com):

“Tony Romo is one of my favorite quarterbacks. I don’t think he’s my favorite — but he’s certainly one of my favorites. So I felt kinda conflicted doing the Jessica thing…(but) Jessica got fat,” Eminem said. “I mean, not really fat, but she certainly got fat for … well, Jessica Simpson got fat for Jessica Simpson! You know what I mean?”

But he also isn’t hoping Jessica stays fat. Eminem couldn’t care less, really. Rather he sees his mean-spirited videos as a gossipy time caspule.

“I’ve always wanted people to be able to look back at each video and go, ‘Oh, remember what was going on at that moment!’” Eminem said. “You know what I mean? ‘Oh, that’s when Jessica Simpson got fat.’ ‘Oh, OK!’ And even if she gets thin again, that’s fine. But for that moment in time, she was fat.”

Anyone else think Eminem’s obsession with celebrity is a bit odd? Honestly, he’s more People magazine than he is Andy Warhol.
