I’ve been wondering why Jessica Simpson has been all over the place this week, because I thought it was impossible that she would be doing this much media for the 10th anniversary of her Jessica Simpson Collection. As it turns out, it’s not just a makeshift PR blitz – the JS Collection and Macy’s are coordinating on Fashion’s Front Row for New York Fashion Week, so Jessica has real, business-y reasons for being all over the place. I’m including some photos from her Wednesday evening event for the 10th anniversary celebration, plus some pics of Jessica ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell on Thursday. I can’t believe they let her ring the bell! That’s really very cool.
While Jessica was at the NYSE, she did an interview with CNBC’s Closing Bell. She was asked “what was your biggest money mistake?” Jessica’s reply? “The biggest money mistakes? I don’t know. For some reason I thought of my first marriage!” Ha. Jessica is still pissed that she had to give Nick Lachey a big settlement when they divorced. In truth, that was just her dad’s bad management.
In another interview on Wednesday, Jessica chatted with Entertainment Tonight about diets and babies and such. She actually said something surprising when asked if she wanted any more kids: “No more kids on the horizon. That would freak me out a little bit.” She did have two kids in two years. I think she’s done. And finally, Jessica did Us Weekly’s “25 Things You Don’t Know About…” feature. Some of this stuff we already knew (like the farting thing).
1. My favorite ice cream is pistachio or butter pecan.
2. As a kid, I left space camp because the ice cream was dehydrated. But I still dream of being an astronaut.
3. Marc Chagall is my favorite artist.
4. I make my kids [Maxwell, 3, and Ace, 2] dinner almost every night.
5. Robert Plant, Sting, Willie Nelson, and Sam Cooke are my favorite male voices.
6. I always know when a house is haunted.
7. I haven’t watched a sitcom since Friends, but would definitely star in one.
8. My go-to getting-ready song is The White Stripes’ “Icky Thump.”
9. I love cinematography.
10. I analyze my dreams with a dream book.
11. I’m not a runner. I mosey.
12. When I make a birthday wish, I always save the candle.
13. I can smell everything, but have very selective hearing.
14. I have moved more than 20 times in my life, but I’m still a homebody.
15. I never watched animated movies until I had kids.
16. I can hold my breath longer than Justin Bieber can.
17. I used to perform on cruise ships.
18. My favorite movie is Great Expectations, and that’s why I made it the theme of my wedding.
19. I’m fiercely competitive in every aspect of my life. Especially the game of Scattergories.
20. I collect heads-up pennies and turn over the ones that aren’t.
21. I always take credit for my farts.
22. When I write, I use different colors of ink and styles of handwriting, depending on my mood.
23. I know more about dinosaurs than the average multi-hyphenate.
24. One of my pet peeves is writing with incorrect grammar.
25. When I’m nervous, I take off my shoes so I can feel grounded. But I still won’t wear flats.
Jessica Simpson: dinosaur-obsessive, fart-claimer, wannabe astronaut, Marc Chagall superfan, and competitive board-game player. Bless her.

I can’t with her.
neither can I
Or that Gumby Goes sexy Outfit in the last Pic
WHY does she have her pants tailored like that? She’s been doing it for a decade, I don’t understand it.
Deleted double post.
I dont understand people who think in terms of money when it comes to marriage and divorce. She isn’t sorry it didnt work out , it was a ‘financial mistake;… It’s heartless – i think she’s stinking rich too so why make it about money? How much money does a person need for goodness sake!
Yup. Blaghhh
exactly. Nick and that stupid mtv show are the only reasons she still has a career or made that much money. please.
me neither
and the person who wrote that list for her is on my last nerve too
chagall my ass
“multi-hyphenate” was where my credulity was most tested.
She loves Marc Chagall because they have the same birthday: July 10, so she must have learned his name in a birthday book.
Actually she and Eric are very much into art. Shock but True
i have an easier time believing she has learned to do her laundry and started brushing her teeth
Jessica’s thirsty. I can’t with her either.
Thirsty?? Ha! She could buy and sell allllll of us. She’s won.
You can be rich and thirsty. Look at Donald Trump.
She licenses her name for the brand, so she’s making like $30 million a year from it at most. I mean wealthy for sure, but she’s not actually a billionaire or anything.
KB, you’re right. I read in one of these articles she’s only worth like $150 mil. Pretty far from a full billion, and yet I have no idea how the lifestyle of a hundred-millionaire differs from that of a billionaire. None.
Actually Betty Rose the amount needs to be updated. 120-150 has been the same for a couple years.. She sold 1.3 billion last year so take 3-5 % of that and along with the sale to sequential for part ownership and Still with Camuto, the this next year should be significant
What is wrong with being thirsty? Love thirsty and ambitious people, when they are on my side. ))
I like how she refers to herself as a “multi-hyphenate”
For someone with a fashion line, she dresses horribly. But good for her that her line has done so well and lasted so long.
Right?! Her personal style is atrocious. It’s very clear that she doesn’t design her collection. She has no personal style.
What I love is that she designs some really nice items for us plus-sized girls. The 2 items I have in my closet from her collections have withstood the test of time.
me too!
now let’s mosey…
I don’t think she’s involved in any of the actual designs, she just licensed her name for the brand. She’s always getting credit for its success, but it’s not like a Jessica Alba “Honest Company” type thing. But it is definitely a consumer-friendly brand. The shoes sell really well also.
She’s not a billionaire either, she gets like 5% of wholesale (half of retail) revenue. Lol okay I’m done.
KB is correct. She doesn’t design. Jessica licensed her name.
Can you name a designer that doesn’t have a team behind them. Don’t sell Jessica short on that. Do you realize how many so called designers have never gone to design school but front there name for there fashion line. You would be shocked. Jessica has more say then many are willing to credit for or have any desire to look at facts
I’m really happy for her. She was torn apart by the media and she hasn’t let it tear her down. I like seeing her successful and have a happy family. Good for her!!!
She doesn’t strike me as happy.
You have to know how to read social cues to feel humiliation, and Jessica is too stupid for that. Dumb people experience no shame which is how the manage to stay dumb regardless of all the “read a book” advise they get.
@jenniferjustice:
I feel like we didn’t watch the same Newlyweds.
She was a princess who didn’t even know how or want to do laundry. She also had no sense of how to balance money & seemed so childish to me.
I couldn’t live with someone like that.
Yeah but that was played up for the show; they had to get ratings some how. She is not that dumb at all.
I know it’s unpopular to say but I’m happy for her too. She was ripped apart by the media and the internet in general at the time. I felt bad for her. So I’m glad she’s done well in the long run.
Nick Lachey has been pretty gracious and classy about that period of his life, openly wishing her well. She just comes off as immature that so many years later and as a married woman with kids, she feels the need to say this. The first thing to pop into my head was honestly her crappy beauty line, Dessert. That thing was a MESS. Or, frankly, any one of her mediocre, saccharine albums.
Maybe that was part of the deal? He has to keep quiet? I am not too current on her whole divorce with Nick though, why he got so much $. Was he broke when t hey divorced or just greedy?
He was bitter, greedy, lazy, and shamelss. I don’t blame her one bit for still feeling bitter about that. I would too. He took her to the cleaners for millions and then vacationed ad nauseum with his girlfriend. Dude has no self-respect. He did it to punish her for leaving his emotionally abusive a$$.
I 100% disagree. I actually have friends who know Nick Lachey personally, and he’s never been verbally abusive. He wanted a prenup when they got married, her dad pushed against it so they didn’t have one. When they got divorced, she had become the wealthier party. He didn’t get a fortune from the divorce, she made the bulk of her money after that happened. Also, he still works and owns a restaurant in Cincinnati where he spends the bulk of his time, which is why you don’t “see” him “working” in photos anymore. You clearly are just a Jessica Simpson fan who hates him, and that’s fine but calling him emotionally abusive is not okay because its a complete fabrication. They were a bad fit, and things didn’t work out. I’ve never heard her say a positive thing about ANY of her exes, so I think she’s the type of girl who has hard feelings after a split no matter what, which I believe to be immature.
They weren’t compatible, but I can understand his bitterness – there’s no denying that Jessica’s dad played a significant role in their breakup. And I wouldn’t call him greedy, as it was CA and he was rightfully entitled to that money.
I’m uncomfortable using much of Newlyweds as an example of what they are both like as individuals, especially after the first season when it became clear that they were trying to play to the cameras and create storylines. They seemed like they genuinely loved each other but didn’t have the tools to handle her crazy success and his dwindling career. But she’s sniped at him for years as though she was a superstar who got swindled, where in reality she wouldn’t have the money and success that she does if they’d never married.
I worked for a friend of Jessica’s once in Dallas (I’m in the make-up industry) for an event that Jessica attended, and she was a major brat diva. This was when she was dating Tony Romo, btw. Rumor was that she was the one who cheated on Nick as soon as she got a little dough. She wanted out cuz she thought she could do better.
I don’t know, but I could see her daddy having Nick sign an agreement to never talk about the fact that she cheated. But all in all, I think he’s just a nice guy and a classy one at that, and she’s … well, she’s not.
She had to pay up because her dad wouldn’t let her sign a pre-nup since Nick was the wealthier one when they married. You reap what you sow.
What’s funny is that her current husband’s best financial decision was when he decided to skip out on business school (Wharton, no less) to date her!
She wouldn’t have made all her money without Nick. He came into the marriage with the money, she was the pop singer who married Nick Lachey. The only reason she really shot to a high level fame was because of newleyweds and it wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t been married to Nick and was just married to a nobody. Honestly, the only part I liked about newlyweds was Nick because his reactions to her questions and bratty behavior was too funny.
@ Jennifer she should remember that every dime and opportunity she has EVERYONE is because of him, that marriage and that reality show. She owes him big time. Also she didn’t have a pre-nup because her daddy wanted to take his money as he has SIGNIFICANTLY more at the time of marriage. He went a long with every deal and plan even if it was potentially a determent to his career, but be real he has every bit of ownership in that line and her earnings as she does because with out him no one would remember or would have been talking about her for her to launch a line. And let’s not forget she probably cheated on him. He didn’t get enough and she looks insanely spoiled here. Just be adult and don’t say anything.
But I guess it got us talking about her. Still sort of needs him uh.
When they got married he was the bigger breadwinner and was the bigger name. So her dad insisted on no-prenup fully expecting Nick to continue to be the big breadwinner and that if it all went south Jessica would be able to get the money.
And then when it flipped after the show was on (she had more money than him) the same rules still applied. And that’s why lachey got some money right after they divorced. And yea, she and her dad have been bitter about that for years since their org. plan didn’t work out.
It’s not like she’s been paying alimony for years, it was some of the property and a settlement. He’s been nothing but classy when discussing their relationship and has really seemed to move on. Her on the other hand…..
Yeah Jessica (pressured by her creepy father) really did Nick dirty. He seemed to truly love her despite her stupidity and selfishness. I watched Newlyweds religiously (I thought they were so hot together) and looking back, you can tell the moment Nick realised what he got himself into.
Also, if it wasn’t for Newlyweds, she wouldn’t be who she was now. That show really kept her relevant whereas Nick just faded away. I don’t know why she looks back on that period as if it was some dark times! It was great for her. Nick, as you said, has always been classy when she always seems ungrateful.
Yes SCAL, that is exactly what happened. Its almost as if their own plan backfired on them.
I watched Newlyweds regularly also and I came away from most episodes with a completely different perspective than your’s. He put her down continuously. He did things she specifically asked him not to do or not without her and he did it anyway on the sly (furnishing and arranging their new home comes to mind). She was hot and he was into her physically, but he didn’t act to me like her loved her or accepted her. The more successful she became, his popularity slid and he wasn’t happy for her and did not support her. He was self-absorbed and an egotist. Lastly, he didn’t need her money, so why take it?
@Jennifer if it has been the other way around would you be asking why Jessica took the money? Your bias is clear.
I agree that show really launched her. Without him and that show she would have faded away just like he did. It was probably the best money decision she made.
I disagree. I actually think they were both on a relatively level playing field going into Newlyweds. Nick was just another member of the third most successful boyband that wasn’t NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys. Jessica was the blonde pop starlet who wasn’t Britney or Christina–although she had a pretty big solo hit in her own right (I Wanna Love You Forever). After Newlyweds, Jessica completely eclipsed Nick.
Nick’s also definitely made some jabs at Jessica and her family post-divorce, specifically about Joe Simpson. Not that they’re necessarily unwarranted but…
Quite honestly he hasn’t been He and Drew have made many snide comments over the years..it’s all documented
She has the ass-iest style. She makes designer clothes look cheap.
Her biggest money mistake was selling her brand when if was only worth about 50mil. A couple of years later, it was worth over a billion.
She’s just paid to be the face of it now, she didn’t even retain a decent stake in it. Terrible deal.
She did pretty well for herself considering her fame is down to a short run as a budget Britney/Christina and short run on a reality show, but she’s not this amazing businesswoman running a billion dollar company. She’s just an in demand spokeswoman.
She sold 50% of her brand to Sequential in March 2015…so she didn’t sell it years ago & she still owns half.
Camuto Group sold the brand to Sequential, not Simpson herself. They hold/held the licenses. Simpson has never actually owned the business, but for her to acknowledge that would go against her image as “successful businesswoman”.
Thank you Bridget! The girl never owned the company!
All parties are pretty quiet about that, and they definitely put Jessica forward like she’s actually running stuff. So I can understand how people are confused.
Jessica Simpson only even embraced the “businesswoman” label after her every attempt at music/television/movies failed. It was only after the beauty reality show faceplanted that everyone asked why she keeps trying to be in front of the camera when she already has a legitimately successful job. For her to acknowledge how small of a role that she actually plays would go counter to the image that she’s created.
You’re right. And you can tell from her answers (would love to do a sitcom) she would be back doing movies/tv/music in a heartbeat if it were profitable or people would just give her the opportunity.
Her first marriage. You mean the marriage you went into with no prenup and a mountain of debt that your first husband help you get out from under because he was the wealthier of the two of you. That first marriage. Okay, Jessica. Bless your heart.
And if it wasn’t for that marriage she wouldn’t have been on that show “the newlyweds” or whatever it was called which pretty much revived her career and put her in the spotlight.
You must have been raised in the South like me. Only could a Southerner say, “Bless your heart,” and it come out like “f*ck you.”
I agree. Nick was in a hugely successful band at the time of their marriage, Jessica was not the main breadwinner until their reality show, which I think Nick did at the time because Jessica needed the money. She should sit down, shut up and be classy. I’m Team Nick on this one.
Actually not that successful at all if you really look..second third rate band at best.
THIS.
From the very tiny bit of their show that I saw, I think Nick earned every penny he got from her.
I think she raises a valid point. People get so wrapped up in the heat of the moment with marriage. That they forget that, if it goes South, it could cost you. I know it’s not romantic, but it’s a reality.
Her father’s greedy little plan backfired. Not sure that’s a valid point at all.
It’s a very good point, it just doesn’t apply here, where obviously money was discussed from the get go. But overall, romantic or not, marriage is a financial agreement that impacts your tax bracket, and entitles another person to half you future earnings & equity. Accountants and lawyers should be a big part of the planning process.
Call me strange but I have a real soft spot for her.
So is Palar short for strange. :).
I do too. I get her sentiments especially because I don’t like Nick Lachey at all. I saw him as a cheapskate except when it came to buying his crap, he was always annoyed/pissed about something, & his biggest offense was that he was boring as hell to watch.
But…. she kind of needs to get over it. Even though she was far more entertaining they became famous as a duo & he deserved a cut. If I was her, I’d be thankful that all I had to do was sign a check in order to get rid of that drag for good.
judging a guy over a edited tv show seems legit
And vice versa. Thanks for playing.
I agree, she seems harmless to me. What I don’t understand is the Nick love in this thread! Did anyone ever watch interviews of the two of them? He always talked down to her in a really condescending way and he would make snarky comments after her answers. One of the commentors upthread called him emotionally abusive and while I don’t know if that was the case, it certainly appears that way.
I love her for some reason. But she’s dead wrong about the money mistake. Nobody would know her name today if she hadn’t done that reality show. As IF her singing career got her where she is today. And going in, didn’t Nick have more money than she did?
My thoughts exactly! I don’t blame her for being relieved that she doesn’t need to pay alimony anymore (who wouldn’t?), but her career would likely look a LOT different today without her first marriage.
she wasn’t paying alimony, and almost all authorities state that he received less than 1/2 of their net worth. Joe was just much better at bashing Nick in the media because he was too greedy and didn’t want the prenup.
Just wait until her second divorce happens. I think things will be a lot worse for her.
I think we all start somewhere right and get a platform.. Every celeb person does. It’s what you do with it afterwards for longjevity.. She had to have it to get to where she is even with all the hate.. Amazingly she was picked up by legit record companies and not Nick says something
anon – does it? paris hilton puts out records
if she thinks that divorce was expensive, wait until the 2nd one
The reason they didn’t have a prenup was because he was the breadwinner when they got married so her and her father probably thought they were hitting the jackpot. I love that it bit her in the butt when they divorced.
He deserved the money he got in that divorce anyhow. Without that marriage there would have been no Newleyweds and no fortune. Can anyone actually name one of her songs without Google?
Yes…because flats are the work of Satan…
I used to work at a shoe store, and every older woman that came in would talk about how heels screwed up their feet so badly. They were in constant pain because they only ever wore heels for decades. I don’t know why she’s acting like it’s a good thing that she doesn’t wear flats. She always wears those hideous platform heels too.
That comment made me cringe also. I worked at an expensive shoe store targeted at older people and women would come in ALL the time with painful bunions. Anytime you wear shoes that cause your toes to be pushed together (so even ballet flats can do this) you are messing with the very bone structure of your foot. It actually makes me very angry that in a professional business setting for women only sharp looking ballet flats or heels are acceptable. Men can wear properly fitting dress shoes that allow proper toe room. If a woman does the same, her outfit looks ‘dowdy’ and not as sharp-business woman. So basically women are just expected to ruin themselves.
Nick was the bigger star when they got together. This is probably why she did not have a prenup. I have never read that Nick Lachey ever said anything unkind about Jessica. She should do the same.
She has more businessy reasons for being out there than most of the celebs on the stroll. Her line has been a consistently profitable one and she is not terribly thirsty when she isn’t out for a specific reason, i.e, she’s no Kardashian.
Nawwwww she’s gorgeous. She’s very, very disingenuous but still pretty earthy and authentic.
She really is gorgeous.
I almost bumped right into her – literally – in NYC when she was pregnant with her 1st.
She’s strikingly beautiful even when pudgy pregnant.
And she’s teenie tiny
My husband said she’d fit in his pocket.
I post about this all the time because she’s one of the only celebs I’ve encountered on the street and I admit I was star struck because I have always had a soft spot for her.
I don’t like that she talks negatively about nick, but I have always believed she was devastated with that divorce.
More likely she was devestate by that marriage. He didn’t treat her well from what I watched on that show. He degraded her in one way or another on every single episode. It was painful to watch him constantly put her down and hurt her feelings and seeing her constantly trying to play it off cause she was on camera. I coudn’t stand his smug, self-centered demeanor. I was glad when she left him and sad she ever “saved” herself for him. What a waste!
Degraded her? Really?
You know, it’s okay for you to say that he just rubbed you the wrong way and that you’re not a fan.
i watched the show, too, but didn’t feel he ever degraded her.
to me…they were deeply in love…
but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
i’m always struck by how varied opinions are on the same topic.
we experience the moment based on our own life experiences.
no right…no wrong…
I agree with Jennifer. In interviews too, he always talked down to her in a mean, condescending way. He would also say snarky comments after her answers and she would just ignore it and smile…but that kind of thing really gets to you after a while and hurts your self-esteem.
She should be grateful for her first marriage because that made her a ‘star’ where her singing didn’t she was seen as a poor mans Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera even Mandy Moore got more attention. As one pointed up Nick has always been a gentleman about her, fame got to her head and she thought she could do better, wait until Eric takes her to the cleaners.
70 full fledged awards multi platnium platnium etc the list is long over 100 nominations isn’t too shabby. Take a look
I wonder which version of Great Expectations, probably the 1998 very loose adaptation with Gwyneth.
Her career was built on Newleyweds. That marriage to Lachey made her current life possible. Without him she was just a 3rd tier pop singer.
I ain’t even mad.
Her pencil skirt outfit is odd. Like what a 19-year-old might think looks like edgy businesswear in 1998.
Exactly!
Her first marriage was a mixed bag. It was clear from the few episodes of their show that I saw, that they were not going to last. And then she came out of the marriage as the bigger star, which allowed her to launch her brand. She never would have been able to hang on to a small amount of relevance without that show.
She should be thanking God for that reality show she did with Nick. It’s what really made her famous. Her singing career really went nowhere…she also can’t act for sh*t. Her fashion line took off because there were talented people working behind the scenes while she took all the credit (which is what usually happens with celebrity lines). She got lucky. Also, her current husband makes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy less money than her. Hope she got a pre-nup the second time around !
Some of you take her comments way too seriously.
Most of the time I don’t care what she says, I let all the fart stuff fly. But when it comes to Nick I get a little mad-I think she didn’t try hard enough–her Dad pushed her out the opportunity window to divorce and she let him.
Hey you have to know that Vanessa new show has a fart dance. Yes it does..
Jessica was completely fine with no prenup back when they got married and Nick had a lot more money in his bank account than she did and was still earning a lot more than she was early in their marriage.
Without him and that marriage she likely wouldn’t be in the financial position she’s in today because there would’ve been no reality show that put her in the position to jump to other financial endeavors and she would’ve faded into obscurity with her musical career. She can ignore it now but she was struggling for celebrity relevancy when she and Nick got married. She was not having a lot of success fighting against Britney and Christina for pop princess chart position.
He’s made so many unnecessary digs about her (and her dad) over the years, it’s easy to let this one slide. And it probably was bad for her financially.
He made the one comment about her dad that yeah crossed a line but seriously after everything that man did to him and their marriage it was hard to get mad. He earned the one comment.
And so did she right. It was a comment many have made after divorce. Pretty common actually and quite funny she actually said it
Really Jessica? Adam Levine.
I don’t mind her, mostly because she seems innocuous and because I see her as a fellow big boob sister who is also short and Who I imagine has as much trouble as I do dressing every day. Fortunately, I figured out how not to look like a hooker and she has not, bless her heart.
Having said all that, the shoes from her line are terrible. The design is up-to-date and they are cute, and even though they’re inexpensive they don’t look cheap, but they feel horrible on your feet. I wear everything from cheap $50 Bait shoes to Manolos so I am not a shoe snob, but her stuff is just made so horribly that they are ridiculously uncomfortable.
Hahaha this women is funny and her present husband is what actually.She should thank Nick for her fortune she defo did not get it because she is smart.
Her first marriage is the only reason she has ANYTHING AT ALL. Nick was more famous/rich than Jess back then remember! That’s why they didn’t have a pre-nupt!
No Nick=No Newlyweds=No Fashion Line=No Money
This. She has him to thank for where she is today.
Don’t like her , but respect her business success. She must work hard.
I still can’t figure out why she seems so silly in some areas yet apparently is a smart business woman.
She’s never been a sharp dresser but she always looks good because she’s so naturally beautiful. Just lovely features (and yes, I know she’s tweaked her face).
I never had issues with Nick–he seemed like a nice guy and as many have mentioned, has been a gentleman and kept his mouth shut. Wonder how much she gave him in the divorce? Neither he nor Vanessa appear to have much going on in their careers.
I love butter pecan ice cream too, Jessica! And Nerds candy. And freeze pops. And Pay Day candy bars. And all crunchberrie Cap’n Crunch. And Pistachios. And roast chicken. (The land kind Jess..)
What were we talking about?
Omigosh – Nerds ropes! Got a case online when they became an endangered species locally. Didn’t they have a cereal ages ago? A box with a partition between the two flavors?
My fave ice creams were always butter pecan and peppermint stick. I’m also with you on the pistachios and PayDay bars, but usually prefer the original Cap’n Crunch. Mmmmm good…. Got a box on the shelf now. Word of warning: your taste for freeze pops will be spoiled forever if you try Edy/Dreyers Outshine frozen fruit and fruit/veg bars, though. I always liked popsicles in all forms but have to save my pennies and coupons for Outshine now. Can’t go back. Mmmm, grape…. And raspberry. And tangerine. And peach. And lime and pineapple and strawberry and …. For a while they had coconut water bars, both plain and with banana and maybe something else. Loved them. No real nutritional value, of course, which is how it should be.
Nerds cereal was my fave cereal of all time. My brother and I still talk about it longingly….
I thought her biggest money mistake was committing adultery while married with no prenup…
Yep!
Let’s say this Nick while married was all over the map in strip bars parties with Matt Leniart lots of women well documented you think he didn’t play?
That statement was a scummy move. If I was her husband I would also be insulated because it proves she is still consumed by her ex husband.
Popa Simpson was thrilled when they married because he would have made sure to wipe Nick out if Jessica divorced him. Who would have known his one hit wonder daughter would fall into money?
The dumb blonde stereotype personified.
I love her drunken interviews. I loved the heavy Mom jeans when she was on the farm festival tours. I love Nicks comment about being grabassed by her father. Oh and her dainty dad I love him too.
LOL @ Nik! 🙂 🙂
She *has* been entertaining!
Dah-um, it must be a slow news day if I’m commenting on this story.
The truth is I always kind of liked her, and I always kind of liked Nick Lachay. I only saw one or two of the Newlywed shows but they were hilarious in a stupid, cheesy way. (Has anyone ever really not laughed or rolled their eyes and re-enacted the tuna/chicken of the sea segment?)
I went through a pissey stage w/her when she cheated and dumped him. But they were young, and I felt sorry for her with that crazy John Mayer crap, so I let her back in my good graces a little.
But truthfully–this bit about him being the worst financial decision she made pisses me off. As many already said……….if not for him, she wouldn’ t have had the platform and she wouldn’t have been richer at the end of the marriage. So what was good for Goose #1 (no prenup)….came back to bite her in butt maybe. But he deserved the money, and they moved moved on. So c’mon….be gracious. Geez louise. She’s still got plenty …..
I don’t believe that Jessica actually answered the 25 things. I don’t believe she can spell or pronounce cinematography or multi-hyphenate, and I doubt she even knows what they mean. I bet she said: I like watching movies, and my kids have a dinosaur book. I’ve read it to them so many times I know it by heart. That probably means I’m smarter than really smart people. Y’all. *snort*
Claiming Great Expectations as her favorite movie reminds me of a Friends episode. Rachel claimed Dangerous Liaisons was her favorite movie, but it was actually Weekend at Bernie’s.
She was lucky Nick ever married her. The real mistake was the show. They would have worked out if it weren’t for the fact that her true personality came through on that show. She was NOT the brightest bulb.
The only reason her collection took off was due to Vince Camuto being the driving force behind it. He’s dead now so I doubt she will see the same early success in 2006. Her clothing is destined or bargain basement prices just like J.Lo’s line flopped after her career hit the skids pre-american idol.
She dumped Nick because John Mayer slipped her his number and she thought she found Prince Charming with a 10 inch dick. Well at least she got to buy her 2nd husband in the end. I’m sure that pre-nup is as tight as a drum. Why Papa Joe thought not having a pre nup with Nick was clever since he was in moderately successful boy band was beyond me. But Nick earned that money dealing with that dolt.
Jessica Simpson is gorgeous, her clothing line is awesome and I love her! I always have – ever since her first album was released, I thought she was amazing! I also liked Nick Lachey and enjoyed their show. I wish them both the best in life 🙂
yeah it was a cheeky comment that many make expect more comments like this from the newest batch heading for divorce
As far as Nick, nah he’s fine given some very snide remarks over the years about Jessica and her family. Drew and Nick both share the blame.
Let’s all remember the barrage of tabs and Pics while married with Nick in bars and strip clubs.
Now next Jessica has been awarded and many out standing awards approx 70 out of being nominated over a hundred times.
7 gold, 2 platnium,3 multi platnium,7teen just to start. You can check the rest
Nick
2 teen and 2 nomination
98 degree got 8 forty top singles
See where I’m headed.
I don’t know a fashion line that doesn’t have people working for them with idea and a team also do you have any idea how many named designers didn’t go to fashion school and there name is heading designs. You would be amazed. Time to give the girl the credit she deserves.just maybe.
The marriage ended it happens but to totally dog Jessica and not look at fact even without Nick is sad. Nick needs Jessica for waining fame these days not Jessica needing Nick. Think
A lot of these comments are negative. I think she is absolutely beautiful and obviously great at business. Love her fashion line.
