Jessica Simpson On The 'Tonight Show': Pregnant In 6-Inch Heels! (VIDEOS, PHOTOS)

Our feet swell up just looking at her, but Jessica Simpson has not abandoned her heels deep into her pregnancy.

As the star of the NBC's new "Fashion Star" and Elle's April (nude!) cover girl, Simpson has been keeping on her high-heeled feet even as she looks ready to pop. (Save for a vacation in Laguna Beach earlier this month, where she specifically tweeted, "We are loving Laguna...and yes, I'm wearing flip flops!")

But on the "Tonight Show" on Monday night, Jessica admitted to Jay Leno that maintaining her devotion to fancy footwear hasn't been easy.

"We're waddling at this point," she laughed when making her way onto the stage. Leno quipped about how big she's gotten, practically expecting her to have the baby during commercial break. Jessica agreed -- this being pregnant thing is tough! "And I'm wearing six-inch heels today, and it's a lot of weight to carry on six inches," she laughed.

Not like she hasn't tried. The shoe devotee, who's previously said, "Shoes are my best friends," has spent much of her pregnancy in stilettos. She even joked to her doctor that she had every intention of delivering her baby in four-inch Yves Saint Laurent pumps.

Luckily, there will be someone to inherit all those high heels: Jessica recently revealed to Elle that she's having a girl.

Check out the ever-growing Jessica chat with Leno about "slutty brownies," her nude Elle cover, "Fashion Star" and getting swamp ass in her Spanx. Seriously.

It seems as if this woman has been pregnant for a year and a half.

I don't know why she's doing that to herself, and it puts her under more stress. She's gained a lot of weight with this pregnancy (I'm guessing at least 70) and it cannot be good for her feet to be in 6 inch heels! I saw a picture of her last night and could not believe it. It's throwing off her balance even more and it's not attractive. Just wear a pair of sandals or flats for a change, girl.

When I was pregnant my doctor told me to wear flats and no heels until after the baby was born.

LORD! How long as Jessica Simpson been pregnant? Every day I see an article about her pregnant self! It's like she has the gestation period of an elephant!

But personally, I think her face is cute on Leno!

Ya know, when Natalie Portman was pregnant the right winged christians just went after her.

I believe one of the judges was Mike Huckabee.

Wonder why he hasn't said anything about "christian" Jessica.

I'm glad he hasn't but, wow, double standards.

She's so cute and she is a very successful clothing designer.

I can't wear her shoes but my niece love her stuff!

The only time I recall ever giving my heels a rest, was after about my 5th month of pregnancy. I cannot imagine being as big as she is..wobbling along in 6" heels. Love my heels, but loved my baby way more.

Completely agree with you. Can you imagine the safety issues involved not to mention what she is doing to her spine.

In light of the fact that she appears to be carrying a rhinoceros, perhaps now would be a good time to introduce her feet to a pair of flats?

There will be plenty of time to break out the mile-high stilettos again once she gives birth.

No one told you to wear 6 inch heels. It's not about trying to look taller, it's about comfort.

Being pregnant and wearing 6 inch heels should get you a one way ticket to the looney bin.

I always heard it's bad for your back to wear high heels while pregnant. I've never been so I don't know, just what I've heard. Jessica has gained a lot but that's her M.O. she gains and loses and starts over. She's really cute, but that kind of gaining and losing isn't really good. But it's her life so who am I to say.

She's just adorable.

As to the heels, Posh did the same thing. She was like 8 months pregnant, wearing platform stilettos.

Some women simply can't give up the beautiful shoes, no matter what.

Yeah, she did, but Victoria never weighs over 120 with any of her pregnancies. It's a lot different.

Good point.

But, like I said, some women just can't give them up. :)

Really bad for your legs...you will have vein problems and please be careful not to fall and injure yourself and the baby. You can go back to wearing them after you lose all the weight...just some advise Jess.
