Jessica Simpson is breaking out her desk globe and making tracks for Kuwait, where on March 10 she will join the rock band Disturbed and funnyman Carlos Mencia in entertaining U.S. troops. For those of us not serving our country at this time (or at least not in ways more impressive than blogging about... Jessica Simpson), the event will be broadcast live on MySpace.com. "It's truly an honor to perform for the troops," Simpson says in a statement. "Through Operation MySpace, I get to serve my... read more
Jessica Simpson to Hit the Reality Scene Again? | Today's Top Videos | 2/15/2008
That’s the rumor. According to her (creepy) daddy, it looks as though there's a good chance. Now that Jessica is going all "country" on us, apparently she's considering doing a new reality show special for the Country Music Network (CMT). We suppose that’s one way to crossover into the country music realm. read more
Terrell Owens Cries for Romo | Today's Top Videos | 1/15/2008
[Sniff] We’re sorry, but we just couldn’t help but get all teary after watching this video of Terrell Owens defend his boy Tony Romo after the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Giants in Sunday’s NFC Divisional playoff. Apparently the T.O. really felt for the quarterback, who was getting a lot of heat for his “distracting” trip to Cabo with Jessica Simpson. Because if anything in this world is worth crying over, it’s this. Pull it together, man! Your take: Was it touching... read more

Where's Jessica? | Today's Top Videos | 12/26/2007
Jessica Simpson MIA at Romo’s Cowboy’s GameAfter proving to be the bad luck charm of all back luck charms last week for her honey Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo, Jessica Simpson appeared to be a no-show at Sunday’s big game. But doesn’t mean there weren’t imposters in the stands. Panthers fans sported Simpson masks and even long, blonde wigs to mess with the QB’s head. Romo did manage to rally quite nicely from what was called “the worst game of his professional... read more
Jessica Simpson's Blonde Ambition Could Set Record | A Beautiful Fraud | 12/23/2007
It seems Jessica Simpson's new movie, Blonde Ambition, may have set some sort of record. With an opening day gross of $384, it may be one of the lowest grossing theatrical films ever. In what sounds like a shamelessly uncredited remake of Mike Nichols' Academy Award-winning comedy Working Girl, Simpson stars as a sweet, small-town gal from Oklahoma who climbs the corporate ladder at a construction firm in big, bad New York City. My guess is that a credited Luke Wilson stars as the Harrison Ford... read more

Jessica Simpson Too Bad an Actress for the Big Screen? | Today's News: Our Take | 8/2/2007
C'mon. They keep letting Ashley Judd make movies, and (sorry) I can't stand her. Anyway, Us Weekly says the ex-Mrs. Lachey's new flick, Blonde Ambition, is so bad it makes Shanghai Surprise look like Chinatown. As a result, a source tells the mag, it's going straight to DVD. Wow.

A source tells the New York Daily News that the original release date was August 3 (aka two days after my birthday; shop Amazon.com), "and then it was delayed until the last week of August.

While the Boyfriend's Away, Simpson Will Play | As If! | 5/7/2007
Apparently what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas. Not when you're Jessica Simpson and partying like Lindsay before rehab, Britney before rehab and Paris before jail. I'm not sure what's worse — her expression or the guilty-devilish look on Mario Lopez's face. Mario, be a friend, not an accomplice to this camera crime.And what's up with her lips? Did she paint outside the lines? read more

The endless penguin movie and The Good Shepherd last week topped the DVD sales and rental charts, respectively.... Which upcoming... read more
Dyeing to Know | As If! | 3/15/2007
I was in a waiting room last night, flipping through a gossip magazine and I couldn't turn another page once I saw a short piece about Jessica Simpson and John Mayer allegedly exchanging keys to their residences. It wasn't even the story that made me pause. It was her hair dye. Anyone following Hollywood hair trends knows that Simpson didn't trade in her blonde locks for a darker 'do yesterday, but for some reason I was more hung up on it than when I saw a picture of her just after she had it... read more

Jessica Simpson, who famously flubbed a rendition of "9 to 5" at this month's Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Dolly Parton, has deemed a subsequent redo also subpar, and has had it yanked from CBS' Dec. 26 telecast. "She really wasn't happy with her performance and she did want it to be perfect for Dolly, who she idolizes," Simpson's rep tells the Associated Press.

The big question: will the TV audience lay witness to the odd number when... read more
I Find Myself Distracted by Jessica Simpson's... | TV Matt'rs | 10/5/2006
Lips. Yes, her lips. As I took in a Wednesday screening of Jessica's new feature folly, Employee of the Month, I found myself positively transfixed by her large, plump, round and seemingly enhanced lips. And not in a good way, really. Employee of the Month is a cute and sometimes clever comedy, starring Dane Cook — now my No. 1 pick to fill Chevy Chase's tennis shoes in any new Fletch film — and Dax Shepard as bitter rival workers at Super Club (a badly "disguised" Costco superstore).... read more
