Jessica Simpson will grace the cover of Vanity Fair's June issue beside the tag line, "You Call This Fat?"

Simpson has had a tough time of things since the Internets were abuzz with pictures of Simpson at a concert sporting a fuller figure. Simpson has also had bad luck with her musical and movie career, being dropped from her record label, being booed for forgetting lyrics at a concert and for her movies going straight to DVD. However, the good news is she looks smoking hot in her Vanity Fair pictorial, so things could be looking up for her.

Simpson told Vanity Fair, "When it comes to media criticism, that's just something I have had to train myself–literally train myself–to ignore. I mean, the way people make it sound, I should have never been singing in the first place. It comes with what I do, and I know that every day the media's going to challenge me, is going to want to bring me down. But I feel like I'm at such a place that I own myself, and it's authentic. I own that authentic part of myself, and none of those words are harsh enough to make me believe them – I can't imagine saying some of the things people have said about me about anybody else."
