I was amazed that she would still resort to her spasmodic writhings while hovering above the crowd at the VMAs. Part of me wished that some part of the contraption would give way.

Forgive me, but I did.

I still like her voice, though...her performance style sucks as does her choice of songs...but she does have a decent set of pipes.

Okay, I just witnessed the career killing performance from Jessica on the MTV Awards. She desperately needs a vocal coach. I'm fairly certain she has a decent voice, but she just looks likes she has to strain to muddle through her songs. She's all about awkward phrasing and spastic facial expressions. Is it me or is she trying too hard? I mean it's not like 'With You' is the most challenging song to sing, is it? Additionally, I'm guessing she was seated during the entirety of the upbeat 'With You' because she didn't want to attempt to learn some simple choreography. Choreography that might have served as a distraction from the train wreck that was the 'artistic' expression of her one hit song. What's worse is her sister seems to be following in her footsteps in terms of lousy live performances.

But we saw on the show finale that she was learning some choreography. You know, going from her "star" show to her "superstar" show. I wonder what happened to those complex dance steps. Snerk.

This may have been mentioned before, but I really think Jessica's afraid to be alone with Nick. As in; live alone, as husband and wife. There always seems to be something in the way of them living like a normal (as normal as celebrity life can be) married couple.

If it's not her parents, it's the Kacee fool. If it's not her, it's the MTV cameras. How can they actually give true testament to the success of their young marriage when they haven't even had a chance at true married life yet?

ETA: Even though I've said before that their marriage won't exceed 5 years, I really hope they do stay together. There's nothing sadder than witnessing a marriage crumble before your eyes.

That was awful! I'm visiting my parents and when Jessica started singing my mom looked at me in shock.

Mom(horrified): What is she doing?
Me: She's singing.
Mom: What?!!
Me:That's how she sings.
Mom(in disbelief): What??!!!
Me: That's how she sings.
Mom(shaking her head): That's awful!
Me: Yeah, she used to have a great voice.
Mom(skeptical): Really?

Bwah!

BWAHH to the WORD!

Couple of comments:
1) lip enhancements-- eeww! It looks like something that should be fixed by one of thoe Dr. 90210's.
2) that link with the VMA dress. Is she really wearing a black bra with the backless dress? Is this some new look? I know I'm an old geezer, but I always thought backless means you wear a backless bra or (gasp!) no bra.

I just can't believe that there are parents out there who will let this insane Barbie be a role model for their little girls!! I really hate how she throws her sexuality like a $5 hooker. Yes, married ladies are sexy (word), but her way is so trashy, so... "come here, big boy" that it seems to negate the idea that she saved herself for Nick because sex was something special. It seems that you can get it via a lapdance at her concert or with her crappy perfume line. yuk!

You guys should check out wireimage.com for some photos of Nick and Jessica at a "pre-VMA party," in Miami. I don't think I can link that site here...anyway. Jessica is either photographed with Ashlee or by herself. Then, there's some photos of Nick with Casey and some other chick all snuggled up on a couch. What the hell? Bet Jessica was none too thrilled with that!

When she sings it looks like shes having a heart attack with all her shaking she does.

I still think shes a little better then her mohawk wearing sister

Did she win any awards at the VMA's?

swhite: Nope. And I'm certainly not losing sleep over that. ("_")

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong photo, but I think she's wearing a bathing suit top. The way she has her hair up in that thing makes me think it's a beach or pool coverup outfit. You know that Jessica couldn't possibly just wear shorts and a t-shirt, she has to have the heels and the glam look.

I immediately thought "why is she wearing a bra under that dress?"

It reminded me of when you go clothes shopping and try on clothes with your everyday underwear on. But then when you go out you wear the correct undergarments!!

You all inspired me to check out Jessucka's performance clip on MTV.com. Way to butcher your own song!! What was up with her pronunciation...gee, maybe if I adopt some ridiculous accent, my song will sound less pop and more street? I only wish they had posted Asslee's pre-show performance, which sounds like it was even worse!

I didn't catch most of the VMAs, but I'm not worried. The number of times MTV repeats it this week will far surpass the number of videos it shows all year.

Anyhoo, I saw the red carpet appearances, and . . . Jessucka's white dress raised a serious nipple alert (Beyonce's hooker outfit did the same thing). The cut of the dress was wide enough up top so that you can make out the darkening skin where the nippies begin. What's up with that? Ugh. Just ugh.

I do look forward to seeing her singing segment, but from what you guys have posted it sounds like she was singing with her usual over the top orgasmic face.

That's correct, it's a bikini top, and that's not her VMA dress.

Still ugly though.

At this point, let's just put 'em all out there. Enough with the "wardrobe malfunctions" and the "oops! it's transparent under all these lights" dresses. They're breasts. They're nipples. Men have them (The nipples. Although manboobs are out there too. No one makes Simon Cowell wear a bra.). It's no big deal. I think it's a major conspiracy powered by the bra manufacturers and soft-core porn industry. What's the big f-in' deal about nipples?!

delurking to say:


HEEEEEE!

[back to lurking]

What was that performance?!? When did "on" become "o-wan". And I personally thought Ashlee's performance was really good- much better than Jessica's. At least I could sing along with it in my living room.

Did I miss the memo? Are super high-waisted pants back in style? Because FYI, they look good on NO ONE!!!

I actually heard people saying they loved Jessica's performance, I was like wtf?

Good thing she performed before Christina, she wouldn't have been a good follow up to her.

From backstage at the VMA's

I just found that funny.

Heh. Yeah the new friendship of Joe and Lil' Jon is pure comedy, lyn1. My life would be complete if I Mr. Simpson yells, "Whaaaat!" (Lil' Jon style) on TV one day.

There are no words to describe how I feel about this.

I had an epiphany! (Oh my gaw, did it hurt? sez Jessica, did you go to the doctor? but enough about you....)

Anyway, Nick is a big ole Faust. He made a bargain.

It came to me when my mom, who'd never seen an episode of Newlyweds in her life and knows nothing of the personalities or dynamic, astutely said: "I don't think she respects him" based on nothing more than their VMA red carpet interview. Dang astute there, mom. (I don't know that I'd have been able to sum up their whole deal based on 3 seconds, but she did.)

Anyway, I said: "Yes, he's totally a kept man. She whines and gets petulant when he goes to touch her. He's a trophy husband, a male concubine."

And my mom said: "But look what he GETS! A life of leisure, wealth, excitement, and the most American of goals, STARDOM, a role on Charmed (not that that's the source of his fame, just a perk) ... he'd be nothing more than the most minor boy-band footnote without her. Eventually, he'd probably even have to get a real job....."

So he made the deal. The fabulous life, but at the center of it, this horrid horrid catastrophe of a person. Plus, she's got big boobs. Which probably sweetens the deal for a good ole boy like Nick.

So is Jess Mephistopheles? Or is that Joe?

Every time he tried to talk on the red carpet she interrupted him.

Why was Jessica singing with a mouth full of novocaine??

According to my TV, Jessucka will be bringing her talents to the Latin Grammys next. Poor, Latin Grammys! What have they ever done to anyone?

I posted this on the Asslee thread as well but I thought I would share with you all...

Apparently, Asslee and Jessucka are going to record a duet of Sister Sledge's "We Are Family." God help us!

" Oh hell no.

As I was watching the spanish gossip news show today, they said Jessica Simpson (which they never mention, so it caught my attention) was going to sing a song with David Bisbal (He's huge in Latin America). Why he'd sing with her, I have no idea, because he can do sooo much better in terms of duets. So come to find out they're performing together at the Latin Grammys.

Why Latin Grammys? Whyy?

Why? Why? That's all I can say. Does she hate good music? The way she's going she'll have butchered nearly every popular song ever made. That's FOUR she's covered in what a couple years? Gah!

These pictures prove it and unless something goes really wrong - like her hairdresser not being able to make it - it looks like Jessucka will ruin the Latin Grammys with her yelling, fake soulfulness and over-the-top hand gestures:

Go check out the gossip section at msnbc.com. It is under Scoop and it has a blurb about Jessica and Nick at the VMA's. I would link it but I am not that computer literate-sorry. Anyway the gest of it is how Jessica wouldn't go into the VIP room at some club for a post VMA party until Nick arrived and even sent people to look for him. He showed up an hour later. BUT, and this is the kicker, he stayed after she went home and kept on partying. I hear ya Nick do some things yourself because it can't always be about Jessica, Jessica, Jessica(channeling Jan Brady here).

I read a snippet in USA Today yesterday that was about the behind the scenes at the VMA, and it said something like the following:

Jessica was asked what she felt about seeing Nick present with Paris, and she said "Whatever! I have been busy doing my squats!" (because she was going to have her screen test for Daisy Duke coming up and wants her butt to look good).

Sorry for any mistakes in the exact wording, but that was the just of it, and I can't find it on the website ( I saw it in the newspaper ).

Anyway... my question is: does an actress have a screen test after she has gotten a role, or before she is given the role? Because the rumor was that she got the role, but I am not sure what part of the process the screen test is in.

It depends. If the director had her read and liked her enough to offer her the role, she may still have to screen test for the big wigs at the studio. Especially if the director isn't a big wig.

ETA: OK, I just looked up the director on IMDB. It's some dude called Jay Chandrasekhar, that I've never heard of. So, yeah, Jessucka probably has to screen test for the studio.

please have the studio big wigs take the role away from her...please have the studio big wigs take the role away from her...

Jay directed two hilarious movies with a comedy troupe of his from college - Super Troopers and Club Dread. They both have done well in video sales, but were not hits. He does well with female characters, IMO, so this puzzles me. I can't imagine Jessucka being able to act. I think the bigwigs will like that she can bring in magazine covers and lots of publicity, so I doubt she'll be getting canned if the director wants her. Maybe its the other way around - bigwigs want and director is trying to find someone else?

How does Jessica get movie roles? From the evidence we've seen (her dreadful Pizza Hut and Liquid Ice commercials), she's a horrible actress.

Don't forget the wretched acting in the skits on that inane variety show. Both she and Nick were embarrassingly bad actors, and yet they're both getting acting gigs.

Plus the fact that she's so unprofessional. In one episode of her show when she was doing that skit for some music award show, and she was supposed to be there filming for one hour, and it took eight or so, because she didn't know the words in the script and couldn't pronounce them, and she had to do retake after retake. And she's been know to have emotion breakdowns if just the right hair stylist doesn't make it. And having those disturbing parents around. Plus didn't she shoot a pilot that didn't get picked up. I can't believe she would be anything but a nightmare to work with. What are these people thinking?

I loved, loved, loved Super Troopers and Club Dread. They were hilarious. I don't really like the way they are remaking television shows though like Starsky and Hutch, and Dukes of Hazzard and making them campy. Yeah, we look at the episodes now and laugh but they weren't intended to be funny shows. I mean that would be like making Magnum P.I. or Hawaii 5-O into comedies. It just doesn't fit. I don't see Jessica as Daisy anyway and if I were Catherine Bach, I'd have a fit. I wouldn't have cast someone like Britney Spears either. For Daisy, I'd go with maybe Carmen Electra-she's a little out there but much more Daisyish in my opinion.

I will kick both of them in the throat if they even think about ruining this song. Quit fucking up songs that I like.

I want the entire cast of The Birdcage to kick their asses for that. Jess has done enough to "Angels" to tell people that she shouldn't cover songs.

Did anyone watch the Latin Grammys last night? How did she do?

I saw on Extra that she was rehearsing Angels with some big Latin pop star. He was sort of cute, but she was doing that *screaming* singing business 3 inches from his face while trying to be seductive. It was painful to watch. I felt bad for him.

Definitely. Daisy was wholesomely sexy with a big wild streak running through her. Carmen Electra could do that role far more easily and effectively than Jessucka Simpson or Britters.

Well, I just about spit out my coffee on that one. What is it with Jessucka and duets these days - from her Christmas song with Nick, her pairing at the Latin Grammy awards, and now a performance with Asslee to ruin another perfectly good song. I really can't keep up.

She did, as she always does. It was painful to watch. Painful performance. I felt bad for him. They couldn't have any less chemistry.

She showed up looking like this.
Here she is in the press room with David Bisbal, the guy she performed with.
In the press room.
And the performance.

Scroll down. Heh.

How does Paris? Carmen? Kate Hudson? and the list goes on an on. Seems like that is the place for horrible actors.

"Take My Breath Away" was initially a duet with Nick, too, but they took Nick away.

I hope this hasn't been posted yet. I acquired it from another messageboard, and here's an excerpt:

She's so materialistic. I hope she goes bankrupt and ends up doing "Hollywood Squares" episodes to survive.

Heh. I'm sure 10-10-220 needs new spokespeople too.

In this pic she is wearing the twenty carat ring.

I saw them on TV joking about it. So that story is false or they changed their minds.

Really snotty of me - but did she wear the same silver shoes from the MTV awards to the Latin Grammy Awards?

Bwaaah! Good eye.

Ew.
