It was mortifying. Asslee's "former" personal assistant was on every other second. I loved when she was talking about the Orange Bowl disaster. After getting off the stage, Asslee said to her "Are they booing ME?" And the personal assistant said - completely serious - "No, no, they're booing the whole show."

You can't make this shit up, people.

Oh Hell no!
Never mind the Newlyweds, some people would actually trust Bobby Brown or Cletus to raise their child?
The people voting in that poll were all just joking…right?

I might trust Nick to raise a kid, but I would never let Jessica go near my child. I suppose, though, looking at the options that Nick and Jessica might have been the best choice...

Were those the only three choices offered, or was it open-ended? I guess given those three I'd rather have Nick babysit than the others.

Trust that couple to raise your child!
Hell, did you see what they did with their dog{s}? I would not trust these people to watch my gold fish!

People who step over poop for the help to pick up would not exactly be the ideal parents, I would not even want them in my neighborhood, we have more class than that, I always pick up after my dog.

Ooops, I stand corrected.

Me too, and I don't have kids!!!

So because this family is very much involved in the entertainment business and you don't like them, you'd disown Christianity? I know you're not serious, but adulterers and pedophiles who claim they are Christian would make me resist Christianity and its teachings before the Simpsom family does...Just saying.

I expected a far bigger opening for this movie. I estimated a cool $45 million but $30 million is a pretty solid opening. I'm very surprised but pretty much indifferent about Jessica Simpson.

Forgive me, Tubey, for I have sinned.

I watched the a few parts of the E True Hollywood Special and I had a surprising and disturbing reaction to it. I actually thought Ashlee looked cute in the interview sections. It was the first time I recall seeing her with what appeared to be normal hair. The color was normal. The style was normal. Most importantly there was no femullet. The color was a really light brown. The style was chin lenght and very straight. Now, I didn't get a look at the back. It's possible she might have screwed it all up by doing something Punk!Rawk! in the back.

As for the rest of the speical, from what I saw you guys didn't miss much. It was the same old "Jessica isn't a complete idiot. Her and Nick are doing great. Tabloids are evil. Ashlee really is talented. She can actually sing. PaSimpson is just a normal, proud father........blah blah blah."

Since I didn't actually watch most of the speical I don't know if there were any moments of PaSimpson skeeviess. I'm sure there were though. There always are.

I rather have Marisol (Maury) be in charge of my kids than Mr. & Mrs. Jessica Simpson. I don't want my kids to be exposed to these 2 idiots & Pa Simpson.

That will be 47,892 Hail Marys and a promise never to do it again.

Yeah, but Sandra Bullock has also been blessed with a talent called "being able to act." No, Jessucka, you are not a "natural actress," try working for something once in your life.

People magazine(shut up)gave Dukes of Hazzard 1/2 star out of 4.

A few comments:

Woefully uninspired, laughfree, worst movie of the year

I need to laugh for a while....hehe

Remember back when E!THS had balls? I mean they would get down and dirty and really make it worth watching. Now it is only for stars who agree to be on it, is that any fun? no, and their kiss ass publicists who spin everything they do into gold. I want the dirt, not the same rehashed shit that I see on ET every night.

Considering E! had reported that they filed for divorce in LA Superior Court and then had to retract it with an apology and Creepy has a TV show on their station, I didn't expect anything but a favorable ETHS.

Re: the THS...I never knew Asslee was a dancer. Why oh why is she so incapable of any graceful coordinated movement now?? I'm surprised they didn't try to spin the SNL hoedown as a promotional tie in for DOH. "Asslee was talking to Jess about her upcoming movie and so the South was on her mind..."

I just can't hate Jessica. I think she's gorgeous, and she doesn't bug me. I feel bad for her having that dad. It was either on the THS or the Elle article that I read DOH was the first time she'd been away from both her husband and dad - EVER. Gross me the F out.

It's okay, ktms , you're not the only one who feels that way.

I took my father to Dukes of Hazzard last night and... well... he loves the remake of "Boots."

ETA: On THS, I thought it was funny how they spun Joe's creepy comments as 'Well, you also have to remember that he's not just her father - he's her manager so when he makes those sort of comments- it's as a manager - not a father. I don't freaking ever hear of other managers talking about how well endowed their clients are.

Yeah, except every time he spoke he would say something like "And the tabloids went crazy reporting that Jessica and Nick might divorce!" with a huge amount of disgust in his voice. And then they'd cut over to the front cover of US Weekly to show a cover photo of Nick and Jessica saying their marriage was over.

Here's my quick take on the recent "balls-free" E!THS.

Given that new relationship, IMHO the THS is E! trying to make good w/ their new biz partner, and offering Joe a chance to reverse-spin all the negative press (warranted or not) his meal tickets, er, progeny have been getting. Say what you will, but Joe's a savvy in this respect-- form a positive relationship w/ one of the premiere entertainment outlets to stem the gossip tide. "Access" digs up something bad about your girl and Johnny Knoxboots? Have your 5min. soundbite vehement denial featured exclusively on E!. "E.T." digs up some drama about Ashlee? Screw you guys, I'm on E!

(editted because Cornwall already pointed out the Pa - Cattle Drive Connection)

I watched the ETHS. Okay, so, when they showed the younger Jessica singing, she didn't seem to have the psycho jaw that much, if at all so when did that start? (same with how she talks) And also, when they showed her rehearsing her dance moves in that overall outfit, I found it pretty funny. You got the back up dancers who seemed to know what they were doing, dancing all in step and everything and then Jessica. hee.


I agree. Also, she seems like she should only be shot from the side b/c she looks gorgeous at an angle.

Ugh - I listened to the potential first single from the new CD. No one can accuse Jessica of over-singing on it because she barely sings at all. The vocals are worse than Boots and it's about a night out at the club - it was like a low-rent Britney song.

I read that and I swear I felt the universe collapse a little bit. If anyone can possibly make Britney even lower-rent, we are closer to the apocalypse then I thought.

*stocks up the bomb shelter*

I watched only a few minutes of the ETHS, but it was enough for me. I see that Jessica's still blaming Christina Aguilera for not making the Mickey Mouse Club; supposedly Christina's awesome talent scared Jessica into not performing at all. Even back then Jessica cannot take responsiblity for herself.

I read today that Jessucka has been inspired by Angelina Joli, and now wants to do missionary work.

I can't really knock noble intentions, but seeing I find it hard to believe that she can endure much time in the most desperate parts of sub-Saharan Africa. What little I saw of her on Nick and Jessica made her sound like a spoiled, dimwitted 10 year old.

But, I guess if she draws more attention to the problem....

I couldn't bring myself to watch it just for that reason. I can't tolerate watching people rework history to fit into their exaggerated view of themselves as fabulous and entitled to whatever they want. I feel the same way whenever PaSimp says Jessica should have been a little Christian singing star but they discriminated against her because of her double Ds. It's just never because little Jessica just wasn't good enough. Yeah, whatever, dude.

I was at the salon last night, and I skimmed through Jessica's article in Elle (talk about interviewers being way up her ass). She admits that her past singing style has been very "show-offy" and that's she's learning to tone it down a bit. Well, at least she learned one thing in her lifetime.

Please... she could barely stand having her picture taken by the photographer missing half a finger. How the hell's she going to tolerate the major problems of the 3rd world?

To continue the review discussion, I didn't see anyone mention that EW gave it a B+ and had this to say about ManJaw



Oh, Owen Gleiberman, this is worse than the time you gave the book Hannibal an A. I really don't think I can forgive you this time.

Not sure if this is the song mentioned, but here is her new song, "Get Fired Up!". Is it me, or does it sound like a certain new-fangled "Hey Mickey!"?

Scroll down a bit to get to it.

He's not thinking straight. He's thinking with his dick...

Hmmm...perhaps because, as it should be, we don't actually HEAR from other managers much at all, CreePa.

Big fat WORD, Selma04. The whole Simp family suffers from "Responsibility? Who, me?" syndrome...aided and abetted by E!'s Asskissing Bullshit Hollywood Story.

Anyone else find it incredibly irritating the way her whole squicky family pronounces her name "Jeska"?

As in (paraphrasing here): "they were all jealous of Jeska's tremendous talent" (snort) or "Jeska tried to cover her enormous DD boobs with a jacket but Jeska's boobs are so enormous that it wouldn't button!" (followed by oddly excited, high-pitched, heavy breathing giggle from Creepy Pa).

Eat shit and die Simpzillas. And take Jeska and Asslee with you.

or just get them both a breast reduction, then their father won't care about them anymore and so they will fadde away QUIETLY

I heard a bit on the radio this morning during their Hollywood report segment about Ashley getting a personal trainer. And not just any personal trainer, Jessica's personal trainer that got her in shape to wear those Daisy Dukes. (Just because I didn't think we had all heard about the Daisy Duke shorts enough yet.)

Apparently Ashlee is sick and tired of being known as the "ugly Simpson sister". Because losing weight and being blonde is clearly the answer to all her insecurities.

This is absurd, she wasn't even remotely overweight to begin with. She should work on being prettier on the inside, and not play the blame game when something doesn't go her way. And if she really wants to be the more attractive sister, trying to emulate Jessica the Wax Drag Queen isn't the way to go.

Oh Ashlee, I still think you are prettier, nicer and overall genuine, unlike your famewhoring, overtanned, stupid sister.

To think I used to LOVE Jessucka, in her I Wanna Love Your Forever days. *Sigh*

ITA. These people are so pathetic and shallow. She needs to be taking acting lessons or studying dance and actually nurturing some talent or other. I think if she really worked on her acting and got a few small parts, people would give her another chance. Yes, Jessica is getting by mainly on her looks right now, that that'll be short-lived. There are other ways of getting by in life, and Ashlee just doesn't seem to get it.

Unfortunately, the non-family show business people around her are probably encouraging (or pressuring) her to lose weight. Thinner than average isn't good enough, you have to be "Hollywood thin."

Exactly. Before too long, she'll have starved herself onto the cover of the tabs. Stories will pop up (planted by PaSimp of course) about Ashley being "too thin". How Thin is too Thin? the covers will say with equal parts Lindsay, Nicole, and Ashlee along the bottom. It's really the only reason people will pay attention to her at this point.

Sad really.

Sad and it makes you wonder how much of her ass we will be seeing on TV when she looses more weight! As it is her trousers are only held up by her last meal if she stops eating we will all have to avert our eyes.

I think I would have a much easier time listening to Joe if he changed his name to Homer, it would make the stupidity much easier to swallow.

The fuck?

Or, it's about whatever will make him a buck.

YMMV, but I like the idea of coming out with plus-size jeans but for me, it would have been a great idea even if someone else came out with it. Jessica wasn't always stick thin, but probably never a size 16 either, so I appreciate the effort.

I just think it's another way for Pa Simpson to make a buck. Even in Jessica's "bigger" days she was small. I don't think she's ever been larger than a 4/6. Aren't there fashionable jeans for plus sizes? Is there a need for someone like Jessica to come along and create a special line?

I don't think anyone said there was a need (well, maybe her dad did). I just said I thought it was cool for anyone to come out with fashionable jeans for bigger sizes. *Shrugs* It's definitely a different market for her to venture into, but whatever, like I said before, I appreciate the effort.

Watching the E! True Hollywood Story. That Simpson family is adorable!They all love and support each other so much! Oh and you can tell they love Asslee as much as Jessca! And you can tell they loved Nick all along. I don't think Nick and Jessca did anything before they were married. I think she was a true virgin!And Ma and Pa simpson are the best parents ever!

Oh and that Teen People editor is really skinny.

lol!! did u see the dress ashlee wore to the premiere of dukes of hazzard? yuk

Actually yes there is a need for fashionable jeans for plus size women. I am plus size and the jeans are just that-plain old jeans as in Just My Size jeans from Wal-Mart. No cutsie fashionable to them. However, I don't see how Jessica will know what works on plus size women since she's never been one. Big boobs does not equate to plus size. Someone who is "hip" now that would make more sense to offer a plus size line would be Mia Tyler, Mariah Carey, Raven Seymone. Women with real curves and real meat on their bones. Plus, why would Jessica know fashion-she dresses like shit.

It's probably the same deal as with Dessert, she probably won't have anything to actually do with the line except slap her name on it.

I suppose. However, like Vermicious Knid said, Jessica Simpson will simply attach her name to it. I have no doubt that actual designing students will put the final product out with the intention of providing quality jeans to full sized women. No one has said Jessica is full figured and I do not believe for a second that she will put pencil to sketch book and actually design as much as an inseam. They'll hand her the product with her seal and she'll approve. I honestly appreciate the effort, like I said twice before, and I think it's pretty cool and that this is being put out there, regardless of who's putting it out there. YMMV and it does.

Sometimes, IMO, I feel like people (no one in this thread) try to find something wrong with everything Jessica does just because they dislike her.

I dunno.

I don't fault her for trying but she should try in a field where she is more apt. I could see her being a spokesperson for products that fit her, i.e. LV, Chicken of the Sea-that made sense, even Pro-Active skin solution. But she needs to find one thing and stick to it and perfect that rather than trying to be all over the place. She used to sound good when she sang before she tried to "fit in" and before Newlyweds. Now, she sucks. She tries so hard that she fails miserably at acting and there is always an excuse. Maybe she just needs a sabatacle. It worked wonders for Mariah Carey!
