Jessica Simpson is hitting the bottle and is piling on the pounds again

Jessica Simpson (29) is reportedly so down and out lately, she’s been hitting the bottle. Jess’ boozed nights out have become so frequent, she’s starting to worry her close pals, Hollyscoop mediates.

According to reports, she is downing whiskey and is piling on the pounds again. “Jess seems really depressed right now,” dished one insider. “I think she’s drinking way too much and eating terribly. We’re really worried for her.”

Jessica has a half billion dollar empire under her waist, so what in the world could she be so upset about? Her love life, says the insider.  “When it did not work out between them [Jessica and Billy Corgan], Jessica started feeling bad about herself again and she seems to be drinking way more than usual,” dished the insider.

“Jessica is a beautiful, intelligent girl but her confidence is shot. She needs to look on the brighter side of things and realize the answer lies within — not in the bottom of a bottle.”
