Jessica Simpson forgets who pays her for what


Jessica Simpson is being sued by a clothing company for $100 million for breach of contract:

According to the complaint, filed in New York State Supreme Court by the Tarrant Apparel Group, Simpson inked a multimillion-dollar three-year licensing deal in December 2004 to launch a line of low-priced jeans and clothing.

Under the terms of the agreement, Simpson was supposed to be “actively involved” in promoting the garb, including wearing items from the line at “public events, shows and appearances” whenever “reasonably practicable…”

The company contends the Dukes of Hazzard star even refused to be photographed wearing items from the JS by Jessica Simpson and Princy collections, and that when asked by the press to name her favorite brand of jeans at an event last year, she replied “True Religion,” rather than “Princy.”

Now Mischa Barton realizes that she has to talk about Keds as part of her endorsement deal, but Jessica Simpson has a clothing line named after her and still can’t remember to plug it.

Simpson might just be fed up with endorsements. She sued an autoracing company two years ago for not paying her a mere $140,000 for wearing a T-Shirt with their logo on it in one of her videos.

Here she is in an older photo shoot for “Lovable Bras.” At least that’s a product she doesn’t have to worry about wearing out.
