Ashlee Simpson blasts baby bulge stories; James Gandolfini weds in Hawaii; Halle Berry shows off daughter

San Francisco Chronicle, USA - Pregnant star Ashlee Simpson has hit out at reports she is desperate to lose her baby weight, saying her main concern is the health of her child.

The National Enquirer reported last week that the singer had broken down into tears after learning she had gained more weight than is considered healthy.

The publication even alleged Simpson had bought several pairs of size zero jeans from Los Angeles shop Planet Blue to give herself an incentive to shed her post-pregnancy pounds.
