Here’s a link to a very interesting Twit-pic photo of Jessica Simpson, courtesy of her publicist’s Twitter account. Apparently, Jessica was taking part of some kind of “top secret” magazine photo shoot… and if it’s “top secret” I’ve got to wonder if Jess is maybe getting another Vanity Fair cover? God, I hope not. She didn’t deserve the first one. Maybe the photo shoot is just for a fashion magazine or something. Hopefully.
Jessica also flew into New York over the weekend. ALONE! Her official purse-holder/fiancé wasn’t around, or at least he wasn’t photographed with her at all. Why is that, I wonder? Perhaps because Jessica actually had to take care of some work for her clothing line. The photos (below) from Jessica’s arrival at JFK are especially hilarious – she’s laughing/guffawing at something or someone. Ridiculous. One last thing – Jessica is a good tipper! According to a recent report, while she was dining with her mom, her assistant and two friends at New York restaurant Lavo, Jessica tipped 60% on a $500 bill. She also left an inspiration message for her waitress: “You were amazing and make this world a better place, Love Jess.” Guess what she had at Lavo? “She ordered Macallan 18-year-old single-malt Scotch whisky, which she drank with ice and paired with an unusual dish of fried Oreo cookies as well as a veal parmigiano.” Oh, Jessica. Never change.

fried Oreo cookies??!?!?!
As much as she is made fun of, I have always thought that she was a genuinely nice person. It’s nice to read about a celebrity that actually treats other people well.
..with Macallan ??? I could cry.
In Stu’s voice from The Hangover…Good to know.
Of course she is.
They bring the food.
Macallan with fried Oreos, Texas Style. lol
Uch. Took long enough. A good friends husband was bartending in a local Mexican restaurant in Shreveport, (Superior Bar & Grill) a few years back when Jessica was filming that Army movie that flopped- and she was a total pill, according to everyone else who was working that night. This is THE restaurant in town, and she insisted only her and her entourage be allowed in the bar, and management allowed it, and she drank Rocks Margaritas all night, ran up a huge bar tab, and only tipped $100…to a group of bartenders who are used to making at least 600-1000 on any given night. They all got copies of the cc receipts as proof! Also, nobody else was allowed in the bathroom while she was there. I guess being in a “relationship” and worth 100 million bucks changes a girl.
The hair is a dead give away. It’s the perfect example of why one should never “break wind” while sitting near a wall.
Oh,that’s sweet. I wonder how this story got out?
Jessica is just plain old cute.
But I take my Macallan up straight with a dish of jello salad on the side.
Guess she’s gearing up for that big weight loss endorsement thing, right? With meals like that she’ll have bigger numbers to report!
The Simpson camp wanted some positive press for her and all it cost them was $300 and a call to the tabloids. They are really trying to sell the “Jessica has a heart as big as her appetite” spin since nobody is buying the “she didn’t have to buy her fiance and she looks great in reindeer leggings” stories.
I’m not buying it. Samigirl’s account is more in line with Jessica and her creepy family.
I’ve always liked Jessica – as dumb as she is(and my God, the girl is a bag of hammers), she’s always come off as a very nice and genuine person – so I can forgive the lack of brainpower.
Plus I’ve always found her to be naturally beautiful – it’s such a shame everyone rags on her every time she gains 5 pounds.
ever had a fried twinkie? to. die. for.
Preggo!
Meh, I really don’t understand the Simpson hate. She’s harmless. I have always gotten the vibe from her that she is a nice person and means well, but she’s dumb as a rock and doesn’t care to learn any sense.
LMAO Rita!!
what if the waitress wasn’t a fan but she got an autograph anyway???!!! lucky girl. ha. maybe the waitress was just doin as she do.
sounds like such pr bs. no doubt @samigirl’s account is the real deal.
sure wouldn’t want to be around hessica when she starts to diet…that could get ugly.
Well, I guess this puts to rest the rumors that she’s pregnant.
She shoulda never let her father control her career.
hahahha. I love this
Why is anything positive always fake PR but every negative story is the god’s honest truth? Give someone the benefit of the doubt once in awhile. Maybe the waitress was excited and told people?
That is the best story ever. 2011 is awesome.
That’s nice.
I don’t understand all the flack this girl gets…she appears to be a really nice girl..looking for love and family..give her a break..just because shes not a stick figure, doesn’t mean shes a hugh pig either…I love oreos…
Fried OREOS?? Why would you do that?
Wow that woman is messed up!
I hate the type of people who make a big show of tipping well. (And I see them, daily.) They are generally the same type of people who take it out on the waitstaff when the kitchen is backed up, or judge our collective intelligence because we’re working in the service industry. It has nothing to do with how competent I am at my job, they just want to placate their ego to the rest of their table.
That being said, there are worst things to be than an enthusiastic tipper. (The stories I could tell. . . I bet people don’t count on having a psychology major serving them their coffee. . .) Generally the more high-maintenance the customer, the sh*ttier the tips. So yeah, I’d serve Jessica scotch and fried oreos any day of the week! Hell, I might even give her my store discount!
Ice in a 18 year old single malt? Hmm. I’ll let it pass as I’m beginning to think I’d like to go out drinking with Jess.
Whiskey on the rocks, fried oreos, and Italian food? I seriously want to hang out w/ Jessica. I think she’d be a total hoot!
Fried. Oreos.
I just can’t. All kinds of no.
But she’d probably be an awesome chick to hang out with while drinking. Absolutely NO fried oreos, though. Just, no. And WTF is up with that hair? Dear God!
@ # 28 – Roma: I don’t get the ice in that Macallan either.
But if her taste buds are drowning in fat from the fried Oreos, Jess wouldn’t be able to savor the whisky anyway.
Well, this totally makes me want to hang out with Jessica! This sounds awesome. I do think she needs some good girl friends to tell her to change outfits. I’m in.
How a person treats their waiters and waitresses and how they tip says a lot about their character. I always paid very close attention to those things in the men I dated. She may be a nut, but a big-hearted nut she is and I can respect that.
I like what she’s eating/drinking. I know it seems really, really low brow and (maybe) gross to others…but after EVERYONE in my class failed a final (Yes, in graduate school, and yes it was impossible to do well on that test), my friend and I drank a vintage Dom Perignon and ate bagel bites. BAGEL BITES. Because sometimes life sucks and you need to drink something good and eat comfort food. 🙂
Jessica may be dumb but she’s probably so much fun.
@francesca what part of Macallan 18-year-old single-malt Scotch whisky indicates pregnant to you? LOL
Ugh! WHY is she still getting on magazine covers? She NEVER has anything remotely interesting to say.
Does Jessica not notice that people don’t give a rat’s ass about her anymore and they have not for a LONG time.
GradStudentEatingHotPockets- I wish I would’ve done that with my fellow students after we all failed our final. And no, I’m not in grad school!
Maybe she just didn’t know how to order a drink. I would’ve probably put ice in it too. But then again I’m more of a margarita kind of girl. I figured Jessica would be more into the fruity drinks.
I love to tip well. After you’ve been a waitress and surivived off of tips I think you can’t help but be a good tipper.
Unless you suck. If you suck you’re not getting a good tip.
Also, I hate when they try to style her like she is a high fashion girl. She’s not. She should only have Texas style big hair.
I love this story. She seems sweet and fun. Two things made me laugh out loud today. The pics of Jess guffawing and Kaisers crazy funny commentary.
@Rita I just spat out my morning museli whilst laughing- thanks for that!
@GradStudentEatingHotPockets – vintage dom perignon and bagel bites sounds insanely good.
oh man, those fried oreos are to die for, and even better is the vanilla malted whipped shakey thing you dip them in.
@Isa- NO ONE in our class finished the final…I started bawling when I had to turn in the test (first time in my life I had never been able to finish a test)…my friend’s parents had given her the champagne as a graduation gift and we were like “Screw it, life sucks…we just failed that test. BAGEL BITES AND CHAMPAGNE!!!” ha.
Our teacher curved the test by 30% so we could have one person get a 95% (he doesn’t curve so someone has a 100% because he says that a 95% is already 2 standard deviations above the mean and anything above that is just “too rare” and so you can only get a 95%….or lower). He also emailed us to tell us we all failed. You know, on Christmas Eve. MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU FAILED!!!!
@Matt….I felt incredibly trashy and incredibly regal at the same time while eating the bagel bites.
Mine was a chem final. GENERAL chemistry. It had seven questions on it. We had no idea what to expect except for one problem, which he told us would be on the test. Problem was, we still couldn’t figure it out. I made a TWO. Out of a hundred. I am not stupid. I had a 4.0. We had organized study groups and worked so hard. Everyone failed. He told me that the stuff on the final is a lot of stuff we need to know for Chem 2. I somehow made a B. But that may have been because of his penchant for calling me sweetie and honey and less about my actual work.
@ gradstudent
I regularly eat jelly beans and perfectly gorgeous champagne.
I still wouldn’t put ice in THAT scotch….
but I love how good it feels to eat like I dreamed I would when I was a kid and drink what I dream up as an adult.
Tickles ya.
So the oreos I get. Still, not the ice.
Fried Oreos aside,I,too,hope that Jessica continues to be her compassionate,ditzy and voluptuous self….
Hmmmm big old purse, wrap, and coat. Why is she always layered and covering her front?
I could see her being more of a diva back in the day when she was more popular – not excusing it, but willing to believe it. Now that she’s gotten knocked down a few pegs, I could see her being nicer, and it’s probably genuine.
Oh, that photo! Yikes. And yeah, she’s going all out to gear up for that weight loss sponsorship!
Anyone who has not had a friend Oreo.. I highly recommend it.
Definitely in NYC could you order Macallan 18 Year (on the rocks, at that… Respect!), veal parmigiana and fried oreos. So glad our girl had a good time.
I don’t know why I like her, but I do. I’m constantly embarrassed for her; the mom jeans, the bad clothes, the farting, the no teeth brushing.
She’s nothing like my intelligent, sophisticated, and classy friends, but I still like her and I have no idea why.
I would never be caught dead wearing anything with her name on it. Only with the anonymity of the internet I can confess that I watched most of her series ‘The Price of Beauty’. And I was so tickled when she held her own as a judge on the Project Runway finale. though I was embarrassed for her with her choice of outfits (sigh).
I’m happy she’s engaged and sincerely hope it works out for her.
I am a closeted Jessica Simpson fan and sometimes this worries me.
I used to wait on her and Nick. She learned it from him. She REALLY f’d up. What a great guy.
She’s always seemed like a nice girl. The note she left the waitress was very sweet. However…that meal doesn’t really sound consistent with the story I just read about her goal to lose 25 lbs before her wedding. Maybe this was like a last supper?
Hello! Does she remind anyone else as a less verbal “Bubble” from AbFab in the first photo?? Too funny.
@ Samigirl: I hear you. I am in the NFL’s smallest city, and when she was dating a visiting team’s QB, all th wives were stunned by her drunken, embarassing behaviors. Well-intentioned she may be, mature, she is NOT.
An embarassment, I tell you.
Say what you will about Jessica (Yes, she’s a complete dumbass. Make no mistake.), but she *has* always seemed like a very nice person… someone who’d be less likely to snub you than most celebrities.
People do come down too hard on her for her weight. Granted the girl doesn’t make the best fashion choices either (which doesn’t help how her weight looks on her.)
She is worth a cool Billion. $300 to her is worth the same as what you pick from your nose on any given day.
It’s nice to hear that JS is the nice person that she always seemed to be — style challenged, but nice. Why wasn’t she in Country Strong instead of Goopy? It would have made more sense and I might have even watched it.
