Jessica Simpson has something to say

Why on earth would Jessica Simpson be jealous of Kate Middleton?

(I know, why wouldn't she?)

Pop star Jessica Simpson says she was jealous of Duchess Kate's pregnancy.

The 33-year-old singer, who gave birth to her second child in June, said Kate was glowing throughout her pregnancy, reported Us magazine.

"Kate Middleton was glowing throughout her pregnancy. A lot of pregnant moms were looking at her like, 'How do you do that?!'"

Here's a hint, Jessica: if all you have to worry about is remembering which button you press for the muffin maid, and which you press to summon the butter butler, it's a lot easier to glow.

The real puzzle in this piece, though, is the description of Simspon as a "pop star" - aside from yet-another-Christmas-album, she's not released a record since 2008, and hasn't troubled the top ten in the US since the last millennium. Surely "former" pop star at best?
