Jessica Simpson 's hairstylist (and BFF) Ken Paves says he is tired of being asked about the singers weight gain.

"I don't think people understand what the responsibility of that question really is," he told Usmagazine.com Wednesday at the grand opening of Eleven Spa Vegas and the Ken Paves Salon in Las Vegas.

By answering the question, Paves told Us, he contributes "to younger girls having issues with their body weight. It's an irresponsible question to ask when the people that ask it should turn the camera around.

"If you have the guts to ask yourself that question, and answer it honestly, then you can ask that question," he went on. "But I don't think many people can."

Look back at all of Jessica Simpson's Us Weekly covers.

Paves may be against answering questions about Simpson's weight -- but her country music colleagues aren't.

At a press conference for the Academy of Country Music Award nominations Wednesday in Nashville, Julianne Hough and Kellie Pickler -- who announced nominees alongside Simpson -- said they liked the singer's new curves.

"She looks hot," Hough told Entertainment Tonight.

Added Pickler, "She is stunning!"

Simpson made her first live TV appearance since her much-scrutinized weight gain on Wednesday, performing her song "Pray Out Loud" on CBS' The Early Show.

She danced around the weight issue.

"Honestly, I am right where I'm supposed to be. I am so happy," Simpson said. "Everything's really great."

    Why is her weight an issue? Why are we more concerned with some chick's weight than whether this country is going to be in a depression in the months to come? We need to stop wasting our time worrying about other people's business. If she wants to gain 200 more pounds who are we to care? Does your boss care that you gained weight? Does your priest care? Does your grocer care? So wh
