Various news reports have surfaced claiming Jessica Simpson is a heavy drinker. They allude that drinking played a huge role in all Jessica‘s relationships and was the major factor in her weight gain. We buy it. A hefty drinking habit can pack in an extra 1,000 calories a week. That’s no small stuff for a curvy chick like Jessica.

Anyway, Star is at it again with their insider informants who’ve told the magazine that Jessica‘s drinking climaxed with Tony.

“But both Tony and Jessica liked to party hard – and for Jessica, all that drinking packed on the pounds. So insiders say she’ll dish about how self-conscious the excess weight made her feel. Tony is extremely vain,” says another source. “I’m sure Jess will spill about how he’d sometimes stand in front of the mirror, analyzing his naked body. Eventually, Jess became extremely sensitive about her own ballooning figure. She thinks that was the beginning of the end.”

We just love how “balooning figure” adds up to a whopping 5-10 pounds extra and a bad pair of pants, coupled with a few unflattering pictures.
