Wow. I didn't know there was so much dislike for Jessica (and Nick).
My twin sister randomly learned about the "divorce" yesterday and told me, and I was very upset, and quite happy a few hours later to learn that it was an error.
Now, I don't listen to Jessica-type music, nor have I seen more than a few random episodes of the show. But seriously? Three-and-a-half minutes of watching Britney's reality show made me truly love Jessica.
I hope she and Nick stay together, NOT because I like them, but because I hate tabloids (and no, I do not hypocritically buy them, either). I hate it when tabloids follow a couple so, so, so much that the couple's destruction is practically inevitable. 99% of married couples, in America at least, don't have the strength to withstand such a media circus: the partners both - not just one smart one - have to just suck it up and be immune to criticism (extremely difficult). So I'm crossing my fingers for J&N just so I can think, "Nyah-nyah," to the tabloids.
I'm hoping that I was allowed to discuss them as people here (I know this post doesn't relate much to the show). Someone please tell me if I'm out of line.

Since the actual show has been over for a while, that's all that's really left.

While I agree with you to an extent, I think Jessica sort of brought this on herself. She's talked and talked about her "ideal" marriage, and it's pretty obvious from the show it's not so much ideal as strained. Kathy Lee Gifford is the poster woman for that lesson. If you're going to brag about your perfect marriage and we can see that it's not perfect, then it's like she's daring them to prove otherwise.

At one point wasn't Jessica going to write a book on marriage? I wonder how that's going. Snerk.

Some people may be crossing their fingers for divorce just so they can think "Nyah-nyah" to Jessica and her perfect marriage.

I agree with this in a general sense, but not with Jessica and Nick. They've been pimping out their relationship and granting "exclusive" interviews to US Weekly. If they hated the tabloids that much, they wouldn't be so eager to appear in them.

Yeah I believe they aren't getting divorced
I believe American Soldiers never disrespected the Koran at Gitmo
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky

Oh, I think that in a matter of weeks - days, even - that it's perfectly possible that they will announce a divorce. I'm just saying, it would upset me. Yeah. I do agree they ask too much for fame. They are both pretty dumb. But I stand by my above post.

I think about it every night and day.
I spread my wings and fly awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Jessicaaaa's quite a whorrrrrrrrre.
Nick's walking right out the doooooooooooooooooor.

I believe I can fly.
I believe I can fly.
Oh, I believe I can flyyyyyyyyy.


Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Nice song, notinbtnet.

At least Bob Hope has some class & diginity & actually gives a damn about our troops. Unlike Mr. & Mrs. Jessica Simpson. They're just doing this just to get their faces on MTV, ET, EXTRA, Access Hollywood, People, In Touch Weekly, Life & Style, US Weekly, & etc... They are so patheic.

I love the tabloids. The National Enquirer is my bible. I like it when they make celebrities' lives (including Mr. & Mrs. Jessica Simpson) miserable. Besides, 95% of their stories are true.

They will get a divorce. It cannot come soon enough for me. Hopefully, it will wipe that filthy smile off her face.

http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/me...ums_shut_up.jpg

But what will it take to wipe the filthy smile off Creepy Pa's face. He was doing an interview and said that the test screeners for Dukes of Hazzard wanted to see more Jessica and more of Jessica with less on. He had a huge smile on his face and was obviously so proud that his daughter has a body that people want to masturbate to. What the hell is wrong with that guy?

I saw a part of the special where Jessica was on stage trying to act sexy with a very tight white t-shirt with bold black letters saying Preacher's Daughter across her DD chest. I don't know what song she was singing, but it doesn't matter, it's still gross. Could they be playing up this incestual flirtation on purpose to get more attention? Could Creepy Pa be that media savvy and desparate for fame and money? It's really hard to believe they don't know what all this implies.

I watched the trailer for Dukes of Hazzard yesterday online (I get bored at work). I am still curious how somebody who is FROM THE SOUTH can have the worst southern accent I have ever heard?????

I hope they make it. They brought the scrutiny on themselves but IMO what E! did was pretty rotten.

Don't make a TV show beating people over the head with how fab your marriage is and then act all shocked and appalled when people think they have a right to criticize the personal life that you just shoved in our faces. It's like that episode when the paparazzi were following her while she was shopping for cell phones and clothes. Understandably annoying in most circumstances, but she had her own MTV camera crew following her at the same time. You can't have it both ways Jess. You brought this entirely on yourself, and I for one, can not wait for this marriage to fail.


Here are the great recaps of season two. You'll understand a bit more of the hate if you read them.

Sorry, I just can't buy into the whole "the paparazzi are mean and are ruining our marriage" argument. They did three seasons of their show. I *might* be willing to cut them slack if they did one season, were shocked at the overexposure and quit it immediately. But they wanted the fame and they got it. And after all that, they claim to be surprised that everyone is all up in their business. Hailey is right - you cannot have it both ways.

Yes, they asked for it but there is a limit. If I let you in my house once, does that mean you are allowed to come over anytime you feel like it? Just because I let you in my house, does that give you permission to be all up in my medicine cabinet? I compare it to consenting to surgery. You only consent to the tummy tuck. The doctor doesn't have the right to do lipo, too. Does anyone else get what I am saying?



Harsh. And defamation of character maybe?



I never got the feeling that their marriage was strained. It seemed normal to me like any other marriage. Sometimes it is all great and sometimes you want to kill the other person. I hope they don't get divorced and I don't think they will. At least not any time soon because never say never.



Harsh. What evidence do you have of that?

I see you're point, but individual guests and doctors aren't the same as the court of public opinion. She can't sit in an interview and complain about the media attacking her marriage, and then two sentences later pimp out the Nick and Jessica Variety Hour. If you can't stand the media speculating on your marriage, quit putting it out in the media in the first place. Get out of the kitchen.


Instant dramatic weight loss? Manic behavior? I'm just sayin' I have no pity for the rumors.


I didn't either... when it first started. However, the entire second and third seasons were nothing but snippy fights, harsh looks, and little actual affection or love. They looked like they couldn't stand to be in the same room together half the time. My personal favorite "he hates her" moment was the dentist office when she checked out of the conversation with Nick in mid-sentence, he calls her on her shit, she looks vacant and confused while chewing on her gum and continuing to text message, and he storms to the cars 10 steps ahead of her when they leave. STRAIN!

And I'm probably the only one on this board, but I thought the marriage had signs of real strain in the first season. His talk about his five-year plan to make her less spoiled (how's that working out there, dude?), her parents undermining his wishes not to hire a maid because she's too lazy not to throw her clothes on the floor, her jealousy of his dancer auditions, his disgust with her spending, her idiocy when she called him when she bought undies without looking at the price, her disgust that he "decorated" when she wanted to hire someone, her lack of concern for his sucky video and doomed solo career -- I could go on and on. And if I recall correctly, there were also signs that she was holding out on him in the first season; it just got more obvious later. And whenever they're at dinner, they have absolutely nothing to talk about, and this was true from the first season.

Of course not. But if you invite me to your house and tell me over and over again how your house is perfect, the most perfect house in the world, and nobody has a better house, and look at me and my perfect, wonderful house, and then I see the exterminators pull up in front of your house, I wouldn't be able to resist a smirk.

Here are the pictures that are suppossed to prove that are not getting divorced. Her young fans think this means all the rumors about their marriage are false! Hee!

Obviously this means that anyone who drinks Sierra Mist Free can never ever get a divorce.

That's crisp, baby.

Holy crap, is she taking wardrobe cues from Britney? Why the slob look??

Yikes, those are some scary clothes she's wearing in those photos. What the hell?

Isn't that the same outfit they make people wear in prision?

IMHO? Yet another sign that the marriage is over. Unless she is very pregnant, there is no need to have to look at your spouse dressing like a member of the chain gang.

She looks like shit. "Style Icon" my ass. Were those taken recently? Are Uggs necessary in near-JUNE anywhere in the US? Much less southern California. And aren't Uggs so over anyway? If Payless is making knock-offs, the trend is really past Hollywood.

And this, Selma04,

is brillant. Exactly what I was trying to say about not having it both ways.

I guess N&J are not the best example to illustrate my point. (Although I think the media has gone way overboard if even they put themselves out there.)

My point is, the media has got people thinking that just because you decide you want to be famous (I'm not talking about famewhores here because they are in a whole other category), i.e., want to be a singer, dancer, actor, director, etc..., that you somehow give up the right to privacy and respect that every human beings deserve. And they take any little snippet of info you give you about yourself as license to then start hounding you 24/7, trying to bribe your friends for info, etc... Example: The interviewer asks if you had a happy childhood. You say no and I'd rather not talk about it. Next thing you know there are stories about your childhood plastered all over the newstands. You give an inch and they take a mile. As MamaNice says, "Respect is due a dog." I just think in general the media doesn't respect celebrities/stars. Even people that do not put themselves out there are hounded like N&J.

But there are plenty of celebrities who manage to have quiet lives without being continuously harrassed by the media. Some actors are incredibly talented, they make movies, they show up at award programs, and then they go home to quiet lives. They choose to keep their private life private and the media seems to respect that. Then there are the celebrities who rely on the media to promote them and are constantly putting themselves out there, in some cases because they're more image and controversy than talent, that are the ones that are the most hounded. And like other posters said, you just can't expect to have it both ways. So I'm not buying that somehow the media are evil and anyone in the public eye has been robbed of their right to privacy, because it just isn't true.

Jessica and her father are the king and queen of too much information. And, IMHO, Jessica wouldn't have much of a career without the help of the media because she just doesn't sing that well and her performances are disturbingly spastic. Jessica let the media into her wedding, wrote a book on weddings, talks openly and incessantly about things normal people keep private, had three seasons of a reality show about her marriage, showed up at every red carpet event, and now she's annoyed that the media is interested in whether her marriage is in trouble -- well, boo hoo for her.

To invite the media into your home and expose every single inch of your private life, then complain that you have no private life is ludicrous. And similar to what Ashlee was bitching to her mother about.

If you don't like it, give up all the money that your fans have paid to worship your skanky ass and get a job at Wal*Mart. Cause honestly? Jessica and Jessica&Nick can be replaced so incredibly easy.

(Well, maybe not that easy. see: Chaotic)

Nicepeebles: The media is not to suppose to respect celebrities & stars. I like to see some of these losers (Especially Mr. & Mrs. Jessica Simpson) get dragged through the mud by the media. That's what the National Enquirer & Globe magazines (I love reading those, BTW.) are there for. Those 2 are making lots of money from the media hounding them 24-7 & I think that they should just suck it up & keep their mouths shut.

I don't want to hear about celebrities & their lack of privacy issues when there are regular folks like you & me trying our best to make ends meet. They're just as bad as professional athletes when they do that.

Besides, if Mr. & Mrs. Jessica Simpson really care about their privacy, then stop showing your stupid faces on In Touch Weekly, Life & Syle, People, Tenny Bopper magazines, Cosmopolitan, US Weekly, Entertainment Weekly, & on television & movies on a daily basis.

God, what a bunch of idiots those 2 are.

They're great for post-surfing in Northern California any time of the year. Surfers wore them before, during, and after they were fashionable. But for a "Style Star," I'm kinda surprised they're not just relegated to slippers in her house so she's not seen wearing them. But since she seems not to care about her fashionista status lately, maybe she's just become a Britney mini-me.

This pic proves she has truly gone bonkers!!! Who dresses like that to go out clubbing?

ETA: More pics. I hope she was intoxicated! If not....wow! Even Cacee looks embarrassed!

What's worse is the mindless teenage girls saying she looks so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute and they want to dress like that.

I was going to defend my earlier posts but I won't waste the time. Obviously, no on hear gets what I'm trying to say. I will say this: (1) I never said that all media was bad. (2) I didn't say that these two didn't deserve some of what they have gotten since they decided to do a TV show. (3) Money and fame doesn't mean you don't have problems.

Holy shit she is looking skeletal. I am believing the cocaine rumors, based on how she looks and her weird behavior.

Actually, I am allll about this "boho chic" fad. I have always dressed like a big ol' comfortable slob and this summer, I get to wear my same old clothes, yet I'll be in style! Yay for me. :-)

I just read they want to renew their wedding vows again. So what is this the third or fourth time?

Who's the baglady hanging off Nick's arm?

Anything for publicity, I guess.

In one of these pics. It looks like Cacee is playing mommy to Jessica. It's funny. She must have been wasted!

Will someone tell these celebrities that renewing your vows every year is not romantic in the slightest? And, it doesn't make your marriage more valid or meaningful. Idiots.

Anyone know why she is painting the town red like evry other night lately? She just seems so cheesy and "out there" moreso than ever.

This is from one of their websites. Such childish behavior from grown woman, really!

"The whole show is a lie"- says Bam's ex, who sounds pissed and ready to kick some Jessica Simpson ass. There's some really funny stuff in here- scroll about a third of the way down.

oops....nevermind...already posted.

New Jess story in the major media...
Mainly a rehash of the story above.


By the way, does anyone still believe they actually lived in that house?
That pad was more sterile than the inside of a bottle of Phisohex.

intouchweekly.com


This is my I really hate this magazine. Is In Touch Weekly is bed with these 2 leeches?

I saw some pics of Bams ex. Ughhh.... She needs a good scrubbing... I can see why he jumped on Jess and why shes his ex.

Is Bam's ex the same one that was on MTV Cribs?

Yes, bammm bammm

The "happily" married couple.

Interesting pic..

She also took a pic. with Johnny and that other dude. She was smiling then. View it at gettyimages.

ETA: This is too scary to even be funny.

Mmmm... She makes me want an Orange Julius.

Holy shit! I'll be seeing that last shot in my nightmares tonight, Thanks alot, Jessucka! :(

I read in the newspaper today that Seasons 2 and 3 are coming out on DVD. The reviewer implied the happy marriage schtick is just a ruse to sell the DVDs and it'll all be over soon.
