Jessica Simpson Makes Light Of Weight Gain Uproar At NYC Concert

Jessica Simpson just might be having the last laugh when it comes to the Weight-Gate uproar that has plagued the singer over the last few weeks.

Jessica took the stage at NYC’s Madison Square Garden Thursday night in shorts and a loose black top – and also took the opportunity to poke fun at her new curvy figure, Radar Online reported.

“So I wanted to wear something tonight that I knew wouldn’t split!” Jessica joked with the crowd.

The pop star-turned-country singer also made it clear that she and boyfriend Tony Romo were not on the rocks, which has been reported on many gossip Web sites and blogs.

Before singing “You Are My Sunday,” she told the crowd, “You know there’s something about being in love that makes you happy to be alive every day. It’s OK if it’s Groundhog Day if you’re in love. Well, that’s kind of how I feel right now.”

Jessica’s Dallas Cowboys quarterback boyfriend was reportedly not at her NYC concert with headliner Rascal Flatts.
