PopSugar has a new interview (video above) with Jessica Simpson talking about her birthday and herself, which is what she does best. I keep seeing Jessica Simpson brand clothing, shoes and handbags at outlets and on the designer sale sites I am addicted to like Ideeli.com. The Jessica Simpson brand is all over the place (even if it’s not my style and is kind of cheap-looking.) So while her music and laughable “acting” careers are hopelessly stalled, she’s still bringing in the dough through her fashion line. We’ve heard a lot of stories that Simpson’s new boyfriend, former football pro Eric Johnson, is happy to freeload off Jessica and that she paid his way in Italy. (He earned it though by posing for so many paparazzi photos with her.) He’s said to have moved into her house, rent free, and as Lainey Gossip reports his ex girlfriend recently told In Touch that Eric is broke.
In that long red carpet interview with PopSugar, Jessica pretty much admits that she paid for her own birthday party and a vacation for her friends. As dumb and rambling as Simpson is, I have to give her credit for being so friendly and gamely answering Molly from Popsugar’s questions at length. She seems really nice, albeit naive and prone to oversharing, as usual.
“I had a great birthday… I had most of my best friends out in Italy with me. We got to… some of the perks of the Jessica Simpson collection, we got to have a yacht for three days.
“That’s so not me, but I was like, if I’m going to be turning 30 I’m going to live it wonderfully. I deserve the best birthday ever. So I did that for myself, and I got to have all my best friends around me.”
Jessica then said she was afraid to swim off the yacht though due to sharks, which were only in her imagination.
In terms of her summer highlights, Jessica said it was “feeling great about myself… in a non-arrogant way. Like I really just am comfortable in who I am and it’s enabled me to do so many things. I can’t really talk too much about it, but there’s a lot of good things that happened this summer that I’m sure you are aware about.” Yes, we’re aware about the fact that Simpson is getting laid. It’s plastered all over the tabloids and in case we missed that she put it on Twitter too.
As for the future of The Price of Beauty, she said it is “coming out differently for another season” and added that VH1 really does “believe in my heart. They really do want people to see me inside out.” She admitted that “the whole format of the show is not completely settled” and that it’s uncertain whether Ken Paves and Cacee Cobb will return.
Simpson also talked about an upcoming album she’s working on, and said “I’m excited about this new record I’m working on. It’s going to inspire a lot of people I hope. Hopefully they’ll ring in the good cheer of holiday with me. Yet again.”
What the hell does that mean? “Ring in the good cheer of holiday?” Does she want to put out a Christmas album? She already has one, so I guess that’s what “yet again” means. I’m sure we’ll be hearing from Jessica “yet again.” This weekend she told People that she has therapy by asking her best friend a bunch of questions and requesting brutal honesty in return. She also seems to confuse the tabloids and her Twitter account with her therapist.
Why shouldn’t a 30-year-old pay for her own stuff?
Nothing’s wrong with her paying but her new BF sounds like a freeloader.
She’s cute, but unfortunately, she’s sort of dorky and clumsy enough that whatever she says doesn’t translate well on paper.
Whenever I see that she’s given an interview, I just sigh and wince as I open the link because I know she most likely said something really unfortunate and did it while wearing something unattractive.
She needs a shot of confidence, not a low-class rent boy, her pond scum daddy and a stylist who obviously is phoning it in while laughing all the way to the bank.
Man she is seriously white trash eh?
Another day, another batch of articles and commenters bashing Jessica Simpson over something stupid. Find something new please?
LOL snowball.
Of course she was right to pay, her friends don’t have her kind of money!
I don’t mean this to be as anti-feminist as it sounds, but she really should just find some nice (non-freeloading) guy, and just go off and have a family and quiet life with him. I think that’s what she really wants, and the whole fame/music/acting stuff is just not working for her, and the opportunities have to be drying up. She’d probably be a lot happier.
If I had her cash, I would be doing the same for my birthday.
If he truly is a free-loader, she needs to drop the boy quick.
I’m with @ellen. More women should stand up and set this kind of example: I’ve worked hard and I deserve a nice birthday, so I made one for myself. It’s an empowering, independent statement. And I’ll let you in on a little secret: it’s actually really hard to find a man that is comfortable enough with himself that he can handle being with a woman who is vastly more successful than he is. This guy is (or at least, was) a successful athlete. No way he accomplished that without being driven and competitive. I.e., he’s no freeloader. I’ll bet she feels strong to be able to do things for him.
@ snowball:
She needs a shot of confidence…

uh…me thinks she’s had a shot alright.
along with maybe 2 glasses of chardonney.
hell, ‘i feel comfortable in my own skin and really good about my self, but not in an arrogant way’ after a couple of glasses of yellowtail, too.
lol 🙂
is she drunk or on some kind of drug? wth? and that dress is not a good look. at all.
This girl will never learn. Shell crash and burn in 5-6 months. She should promote her line and educate her mind. Then she could pull a guy with some dough and attractive, but her worth, she measures it by her “fame”. When she did get attention she got it for being a ditz, not her work. Now she’s confused as to why no one cares about her anymore.
And how gentlemanly of her BF to be carrying nothing as she carries her 3 bags – he should be the pack pony – lol
Ah, can’t bash her. She wants to celebrate her 30th in a big way? Good for her. It’s her money; she might as well enjoy it. As for the guy-well, he probably is a loser, but if she’s having fun with him right now, what’s the harm?
he LOOKS broke, its written all over his face.
maybe this route is the best for her, she’ll be calling shots and gets the good life and soon, she’ll fund his business ideas and help him start a business and in turn maybe marry her.
her dad wants someone they can control.
I tried to publish a comment previously, however it hasn’t shown up. I assume your spam filter may well be broken?
