Jessica Simpson got a glimpse of herself over the weekend -- only heavier, not quite as lovely, and with more distinctly unfortunate taste in handbags.

Maybe the newly-single singer sent the doppelganger out of an L.A. gym ahead of her to fool the assembled paps. Maybe she keeps the Jess-alike around to remind her of what might've been without stylists, trainers, and wads of ProActiv's cash.

Whatever the case, neither girl looks too happy about it.
