Jessica Simpson

It seems that Jessica Simpson is taking the ongoing debate over her pregnancy weight gain in good spirits as she made a joke about it on her Twitter page.

The singer told her fans to make sure they get her naked Elle cover magazine before it sells out because it is the last chance to see me fat aka Pregnant on the cover of Elle. Its only on stands for a few more days.

The singer has been on the receiving end of some quite harsh comments about the amount of weight she has put on since becoming pregnant.

Some suggested that Simpsons own comment was in response to those made by comedienne Joy Behar, who said, Remember the time that Jessica Simpson was criticized because she didn't know the difference between chicken and tuna? That kind of thing is more fun to criticize than the fact that the girl is fat. Most women who are pregnant are not supposed to gain more than 25 pounds. She looks like she gained a lot more than that."

Simpson is due to give birth in the next couple of months.
