Sometimes I feel like the Mother Superior in The Sound of Music. Especially when I’m looking at or reading about Jessica Simpson. “How do solve a problem like Jessica?” Anyway, I do get tired of tsking-tsking Jess, but she keeps on arousing my pity nerve. This week, it’s this interview Jessica did with Extra. She was asked what three things she looks for in a guy. The first one was an obvious one – she’s looking for “spirituality”. Now, call me crazy, but I’ll buy that. Jessica is looking for someone she can to church with. Her faith is important to her. I have no problem with that. The second quality she’s looking for in a man: intellectualism. Seriously. Because she “can bore easily”. Seriously! The third quality she’s looking for? Artistry. Because she once dated Johnny Knoxville?
When asked about the three things she looks for in a guy, Simpson, 29, tells “Extra,” “I definitely love a spiritual man — somebody that is going to always inspire me.”
The singer — who split from Tony Romo in July — goes on, “I don’t want to get bored. I can bore out pretty easily, so I love intellectual men … people that will always keep me intrigued.”
“And, you know, I love artistic men — somebody that really understands their art,” adds Simpson, who dated musician John Mayer and was married to Nick Lachey.
“I like a confidant man,” she asserts.Simpson says traveling the world for her new VH1 show, “The Price of Beauty,” was exactly what she needed after calling it quits with Romo.
“I couldn’t have had this journey at a better time in my life — to seek out beauty, to seek out confidence, and to seek out the power of a woman.”
Simpson — who has faced criticism for her fluctuating weight — also tells “Extra” she’s finally comfortable in her own skin.
“It really is about who I am and what I want to become, and what’s going to make the best version of myself,” the singer says.
She continues, “What people say about me… all that stuff is not really important.”

You know I love me some Jessica Simpson. I wrap myself in her sweet, dumb, clueless words and I feel better. But my girlfriend is kidding herself if she thinks she needs an “intellectual” man. Because while an intellectual man might nail her, and might even date her for a short time, even the kindest, most patient intellectual guy is going to have his fill of Jessica pretty quickly. However, I do like that Jessica is at least striving to move away from dumb guys and the parade of a-holes that she usually attracts.
I don’t personally know Jessica, and all, but come on, I’m having trouble believing that she is an ‘intellectual’ person herself. I’ve yet to hear an intelligent comment come out of her mouth. What would she possibly speak about?
ROLF. No, she needs an older nurturing guy who wants a much younger wife and is willing to have a silly one. Clearly she is not attracted to intellectual guys anyway.
@Leni:
I agree with what you’ve said.
I was laughing so hard when I read Jessica’s comment, that I almost had to throw up. LAMO.
I wish she would look like that more often. She looks better without all the ridiculous Ken Paves dead animals on her head.
How can you be bored if you’re saying “Huh?” every five minutes.
But what about the guy?
I guess I don’t have to worry about her stealing my husband.
I can actually see that. It’s like a battery, positive and negative energy to make it work. What would she do with a equally ditsy man?
I’m ashamed to confess that I remember this, but I recall an interview (cited here, I think) after the Mayer break-up, as she started dating Romo, where she said it was a relief to be with someone who wasn’t pressuring her to be smarter all the time. So I guess what she means here is someone less intellectual than John Mayer, which is setting the bar quite low, obvs.
She thinks she’s Marilyn & wants her Arthur Miller.
OK. I read the article now. Since when is F–king someone behind your husband’s back called “dating.”
Jessica is the -worst- type of woman for a man to get hooked up with.
I don’t know how many guys are absolutely sick of their girlfriends or exes who bemoaned their boyfriends not being better “entertainers”.
Men have hobbies and a diverse range of interests, and when a woman’s hobby is her boyfriend, it tends to aggravate and smother the significant other.
Boyfriends are not parents or social convenors, don’t depend on them to be perpetually entertaining you.
“She thinks she’s Marilyn & wants her Arthur Miller.”
Spot on, Jeri.

Anybody gotten a gander at this “dummy’s” checkbook? She duhs all the way to the bank and we all buy it. I don’t think Jessica needs an intellectual man but I do think she needs someone who gets that she is separate from the public face of the blond idiot she portrays herself to be.
Why do I feel for this girl? She reminds me of the dog we used to have (me she rest in peace). Cute, loyal and blonde. But foolish. So foolish.
Sweetie, stop chasing that rabbit. You will never catch it.
*sigh*
Any man with two or three brain cells will be bored with her act by the second date and the second screw.
