Jessica Gets Back To Reality
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
After failing at practically everything else, Jessica Simpson is finally returning to the genre that made her a star—or at least, a B-list celebrity.
The Hollywood Reporter reveals Jess will host a VH1 series called “The Price of Beauty,” which will have her traveling the world to examine various notions of what is attractive. The show begins shooting this summer, with a debut set for 2010. Let’s hope this one doesn’t end as badly as “Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica” did.
Simpson enumerated her qualifications for her new job. “I have always believed that beauty comes from within and confidence will always make a woman beautiful, but I know how much pressure some women put on themselves to look perfect.”
Yeah, that’s sweet, but I wonder how many makeup artists, hairdressers and stylist it will take to make Jess “prefect” enough for the cameras?
Jess Washes Paves Out Of Her Hair
Friday, May 22nd, 2009
Is the longtime love affair over between Jessica Simpson and her hair stylist Ken Paves?
According to Page Six, in the past Simpson has insisted that Paves do her hair for all major photo shoots, even though some magazines don’t want to work with him. Why not? Well, there’s his devotion to the dated Texas “big hair” look, and his high fees for all that teasing. The discount store clip-in hair extensions probably don’t help his prestige, either. But Jessica has always been adamant about having Paves style her locks.
So it was something of a surprise to see that famed stylist Oribe did Jess for her Vanity Fair cover shoot. Her rep said, “[Photographer] Mario Testino insisted on his team, and we agreed. Mario is a genius. The photos are gorgeous and transformative.”
Does this mean there’s a new image —and a new stylist—in Jessica’s future?
Jessica Lands Vanity Fair Cover
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009
She’s failed at practically every career she’s tried—so why on earth is Jessica Simpson on the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair?
The story inside certainly doesn’t contain any revelations, as Jess says fascinating stuff like, “I can talk to my dad like he’s my manager, and put ‘Dad’ on the back burner. We’ve been doing it since I was 13. So, at this point, we’re in a good rhythm. A lot of people find it strange, but it’s the only way I know. And I don’t care to know another way, because it suits me. And we’ve done a pretty dang good job.”
If he’s doing such a “good job,” why did her career peak about five years ago? Maybe because, as the writer of the story says, “As an actress, she’s slightly less skillful than the actress who replaced Suzanne Somers on Three’s Company.” Ouch!
Tony Wants Jess To Lose The Booze
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
Has rapidly-fading star Jessica Simpson been hitting the bottle big time lately?
The National Enquirer claims Jess has been partying it up since the end of her tour opening for Rascal Flatts—and BF Tony Romo wants her to straighten up. An insider blabbed, “Tony is fed up. She’s been pressuring him to marry her and have children, but he’s giving her a firm ‘no’ until she cleans up her act.”
Hey, cut her some slack, man. She’s lost her Nashville label and her movies are going straight to DVD—maybe she’s drinking to forget. Most country fans have already forgotten that album she released last year.
