Jessica Simpson Covers Vanity Fair June 2009

Jessica Simpson Covers Vanity Fair June 2009

Both Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo open up in the June 2009 issue of Vanity Fair (on sale in NY/LA May 6 and nationally May 12). Here’s what the couple shared:

Romo on having a supportive girlfriend: “You know, it’s very hard when you lose, because games are important, and so many people put so much time and effort in. It’s nice to have someone to come home to and try and make you feel better… We’re very similar in that we both appreciate the hometown feel to a lot of things, and live our life like that. She comes to a ton of games. She’s a supportive girlfriend.”

Simpson on ignoring the media: “When it comes to media criticism, that’s just something I have had to train myself—literally train myself—to ignore…. I mean, the way people make it sound, I should have never been singing in the first place…. It comes with what I do, and I know that every day the media’s going to challenge me, is going to want to bring me down. But I feel like I’m at such a place that I own myself, and it’s authentic. I own that authentic part of myself, and none of those words are harsh enough to make me believe them…. I can’t imagine saying some of the things people have said about me about anybody else.”

Simpson on ex-husband Nick Lachey and whether or not Newlyweds affected their marriage: “I have not spoken to him in years. [As for the show,] in all honesty, I believe it did not affect our marriage. Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish. It made me understand what marriage is, what love is, what commitment is.”

Simpson on her faith: “I’m spiritual. I live off the faith that has been instilled in me, that has never left. I’ve never let a stumbling block actually make me fall…. We all go through trials, but not one thing has ever made me question God. I have a great relationship with God. I can talk to him, get mad at him, frustrated with him. But, ultimately, my faith is what defines me.”

Ahhhhh,but the real question is where is the ring and date for getting married. She is still Tony’s gf. JS is very pretty and is worht around $785 million for her clothing line, endorsements, etc. The movia tank even at straight to dvd level. The CM World was not so receptive. The songs were good. Her vocie is okay. The songs were a lil poppy but what the CM world fo fans did not accept is her pushing her way in as if she was doing them a great service. Having a great opening spot for Rascal Flats and forgetting words, talking about Tony, did not help endear her to CM fans.

I THINK THIS IS GREAT!!

SHE HAS HAD ENOUGH ABUSE ABOUT HER BODY AND TALENT

SHE LOOKS GORGEOUS, AND IF YOU THINK SHE IS FAT, THEN YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NEVER SEEN THE MAJORITY OF AMERICA!

I want to see the real pictures before they were photoshopped.

For all the haters (jaded and linda in particular) - It’s amazing how people who haven’t done any research, but ask silly questions because they don’t like the person. I’ve got so much info on what Jessica has done, it won’t all fit here.

By the way, I’m sure she really cares what you think of her.
All the info that will fit …

Jessica Simpson:
(Born July 10, 1980 in Abilene, Texas) - American pop singer and actress who rose to fame in the late 1990s.
She attended J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas and was discovered at a church camp by a head of a small contemporary Christian record label. She recorded an album over the next three years; however, the label folded before the record could be released. She dropped out in her senior year to tour and promote her demo album, which was funded by her grandmother, Joyce (thus the reason for the name of her 2004 holiday album, ReJoyce: The Christmas Album). She later earned her GED. During this time, she also toured with the Christian Youth Conference circuit performing with Kirk Franklin, God’s Property and CeCe Winans. She and her father sold copies of the album after these performances.

Tommy Mottola of Columbia Records later obtained a copy of the album and, thinking she had potential as a pop singer, signed her to a recording contract.

She has so far achieved 7 Billboard Top 40 hits, has five gold and two multi-platinum RIAA certified albums.
She also starred with her then-husband Nick Lachey in the MTV reality show Newlyweds and released her own
line of beauty products.

Simpson’s third album, In This Skin, was released in August of 2003 to coincide with the series premiere of Newlyweds. It debuted at #10 on The Billboard 200 album chart with sales of just 64,000 in its first week. It rebounded after a special collectors’ edition was released in April of 2004 and subsequently reached a peak of #2. It was eventually certified triple platinum, fueled largely by the couple’s television success on Newlyweds. It contained the hits “With You” (#14, 2004) and a cover of the Berlin song “Take My Breath Away” (#20, 2004).

She is famous for keeping her virginity until her wedding night, when she went on TV and announced she was going to do that, making her a positive role model for teenage girls and young women.

The couple appeared in the television special The Nick and Jessica Variety Hour that aired in 2004 and drew comparisons to Sonny and Cher. Simpson released ReJoyce: The Christmas Album in late 2004 which peaked at #14 on the album chart and was later certified gold.

In 2005, Newlyweds won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Reality Show before wrapping shortly after.

She also began a career as an actress and is the older sister of Ashlee Simpson, a popular pop rock singer.

In the summer of 2005, at age 25, Simpson made her first appearance in a motion picture as Daisy Duke in the movie-remake of The Dukes of Hazzard. The film debuted at #1 at the U.S. box-office.[1]

Was voted #1 in People Magazine’s 10 Most Stylish Moments for her “Daisy Duke” look. [September 2005]

Simpson also appeared on the film’s soundtrack, releasing “These Boots Are Made for Walkin” (#14, 2005) a cover of the 1966 Nancy Sinatra hit. The song peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Song from a Movie in 2006.

In November 2005, after months of tabloid speculation about adultery with Bam Margera (confirmed by Margera), Simpson and her husband Nick Lachey officially announced their separation. Simpson filed for divorce on December 16, 2005, citing “irreconcilable differences”. The couple’s divorce was highly publicized worldwide and was reportedly finalized in June 2006.

Jessica Simpson reportedly told Jane in October of 2006, that she knew her marriage to Nick Lachey was over when, even though it was on their third wedding anniversary, he refused to join her on a charity trip to Africa.

On June 30, 2006, Jessica and Nick’s divorce was finalized. Simpson hosted the Teen Choice Awards in August of 2006 and appeared on The View in September of 2006 as the first choice of new co-host Rosie O’Donnell.

After a hard year, Jessica looked forward to going back in the studio to record her fourth album but Columbia did not re-sign her to the company, only to move her to Epic Records

Her fourth album, A Public Affair, was released on August 29, 2006 via Epic Records. The album saw lower-than-expected sales, debuting at #5 on the Billboard 200 with 101,000 copies sold in its first week and, as of November 4, 2006, has sold only a little over 240,000 copies in the United States which is less than half of what her 2001 album Irresistible sold.

Her second movie, Employee of the Month, co-starring Dane Cook and Dax Shepard was released in American cinemas in October 2006.

I prefer her “fat” rather than anorexic and giving a bad example to young girls. So what if she gains some pounds? Is that punishable with death in Hollywood?
They talk if you’re skinny, they talk if you’re fat… People aaaaaalways will have something to say.

She is so beautiful. I just broke out newlyweds last night and remembered why I thought she was awesome. I don’t like her as much anymore, but you can’t say she’s not naturally beautiful!

Tina, your comment is awesome and so true!!!

“The photoshop artist did a great job here, they even gave her a waist to make her look female! They couldn’t remove the dead from her eyes though, or the man jaw. Sham on VF for featuring this trash.”

She actually looks quite amazing!

She actually looks quite photoshopped. She looked so fat in concert at Sea World just days after this cover that she had to issue a statement saying she was not pregnant…again for about the fifth time in a year.
