Jessica Simpson and her family are blaming her stylist for pictures of the star looking less streamline than usual.

The plump pop star - who flaunted her curvier frame at a Florida show recently - insists that bad styling and an unflattering angle are the reason behind those extra few pounds.

"She’s a normal girl and like everyone fluctuates a little but there is no way she gained that much weight," an insider assured Pop Tarts.

"It was a really unflattering outfit and a really bad angle.

"You look at photos taken of her just a couple of weeks earlier and nobody said anything about weight gain, now all of a sudden she’s considered fat. Not possible."
