Jessica Simpson graces the cover of Vanity Fair magazine’s June 2009 issue.  The cover headline begs the question “You Call This Fat?”  It goes on to say that she sheds her mom jeans and fights back.  See full photo shoot here.

Simpson was part of a huge firestorm following the publication of some unflattering photos of the country singer at a chili cookoff.  Check out her ‘fat’ pics here.  For her VF interview she said, “When it comes to media criticism, that’s just something that I have had to train myself–literally train myself–to ignore.”

Jessica’s record label recently dropped her so she will have more time to focus on her NFL quarterback boyfriend Tony Romo.  He was not on the practice field on Saturday when over 70 players and coaches were caught under the collapsed roof of their bubble structure.  See details here.

Check out another VF photo below.  The issue hits newsstands May 6.
