Jessica Simpson loves having baths

12 March 2010Jessica Simpson feels most beautiful when she's in the bath.

The singer's body has been under constant scrutiny since she was photographed wearing unflattering high-waisted jeans during a performance last year. She admits the criticism has affected her body-confidence, but insists she still feels sexy, especially when she is relaxing at home with her friends.

"I feel most beautiful when I am in my bath tub, listening to Sade," she told E! Online. "I also feel beautiful when I laugh and when I'm with my friends and I just have a T-shirt and booty shorts on. With my heels on of course."

Jessica is currently presenting a new reality show called The Price of Beauty, which looks at the lengths women worldwide go to to look good. She says the programme has taught her to celebrate her womanly figure instead of trying to starve herself to look thinner.

"I got curves!" she said. "I can't get rid of them. There ain't no getting rid of them. At this point, I just celebrate them... I'm a healthy girl. I work out. I box. I try to eat right. I still like my corndogs, my burgers and my onion rings. I can't help it.

"Just as I long as I feel good about myself and if I feel healthy, I feel beautiful. I don't care how harsh the criticism is, you're not going to take me down. I'm going to get back up and fight. I'm not going to let anybody's opinions destroy me." © Cover Media
