Jessica Simpson doesn’t know how to dress or style for her figure

wenn2805079

I don’t even know where to begin with Jessica Simpson. She’s just so dumb. And her style is so… gross. Like, she doesn’t known how to dress for her lovely, petite, curvy figure, she doesn’t know how to put away the boobs, she doesn’t know how to stand or pose or wear clothes that will de-emphasize her shoulders, she doesn’t know how to not dress in curtains from the 1960s. She also thinks it’s cute to match blue nail polish to your blue curtain dress. At least her hair isn’t terrible? I guess. But I don’t even think her hair and makeup look that great here, although I’m glad to see she didn’t actually cop off her hair into that Edie Sedgwick look she was sporting yesterday, although it would have been cute.

Speaking of Jessica and makeup and styling, while talking to journalists on the red carpet of this Good Housekeeping event, Jessica defended her May Marie Claire cover and photo shoot. Jessica claims that sh-t was truly makeup free. Hmm…

Jessica Simpson has a message to those who think she wore concealer or blush on April’s Marie Claire cover: “I absolutely was not wearing makeup,” she told UsMagazine.com Monday at a Good Housekeeping bash in NYC. “Look at the cover — you can tell! My nose has been broken a couple of times. If you look at a retouched cover of me and you look at the Marie Claire cover, you can see there’s a big difference.”

Why no makeup?

“I really wanted to show women that I’m just a normal person,” she said. “I take the pictures. I don’t know what the magazine is going to do with it after that. I don’t know what the photographer is going to do with it after that, so it was important for me to make sure that they absolutely did not retouch. I just wanted people to see how I really am.”

She also told Us she was wearing a wig in those infamous photos she posed on Twitter Monday.

“I was just having fun,” she told Us of wearing a 60s-inspired pixie cut wig.

Though her mother Tina told Us her daughter would never chop off her hair, Jessica told Us: “Never say never! Maybe, but not right now!”

She also filled Us in on her love life, echoing previous remarks that she’d like to date a doctor or a chef.

“I’m just looking for a normal man!” she told Us. “Just somebody that’s normal! That’s it!”

[From Us Weekly]

I don’t know… I didn’t think the Marie-Claire cover was totally makeup free, just mostly makeup free. I suspect there was some powder and lip gloss and some retouching involved. But whatever, it doesn’t really matter, does it?

Oh, and Jessica really, really, really wants to marry Ken Paves and have his babies:

Sometimes I really feel sorry for Ken. I mean, I’m sure he love Jessica and I’m sure they have a great time together as best friends, but at the end of the day, he has to hang out with Jessica Simpson all the time. I can only take her in small doses, so imagine how horrible Ken’s life is?

Did Jessica Simpson chop off her hair, or is this a wig?

jess1

My first thought when I saw this photo that Jessica Simpson twit-pic’d is that Jessica’s gay boyfriend Ken Paves was tired of her bullsh-t and passive-aggressively chopped off her hair. My second thought was that Jessica is wearing a Florence Henderson wig from the 1970s. Shockingly, Jessica came up with the same idea, posting the pic with the joke, “Carol Brady who:)?” See, in the above photo, I think she’s just aged herself by 30 years – that hair is frighteningly similar to my mom’s hair. But Jessica also tweeted this photo:

From the side, this style rocks. It reminds me of the hair cut Sienna Miller got when she was preparing to play Edie Sedgwick. If Jessica really did chop off her hair, I hope she styles it this way (like, a sweet, short shag), and not in the “I’m a 44 year old grandmother from West Texas” way in the header photo. But I really do think it’s a wig. I really don’t think Ken Paves is that passive-aggressive with Jess, do you?

Did Jessica Simpson go makeup-free for Marie Claire?

jessica5

Jessica Simpson is the May cover girl for Marie Claire, as well as the guest editor for the issue. She posed on the cover and in the photo shoot without makeup, which is causing some consternation around the interwebs. Some people are questioning whether Jessica is really without makeup here – I kind of think she is. I think this is what she really looks like – very pretty, with good skin and hair, but not the “bombshell” that she often styles herself to be. She tells Marie Claire: “I don’t have anything to prove anymore. What other people think of me is not my business.” Go here for the full Marie Claire slideshow, but here are some highlights, courtesy of Us Weekly:

jessica1

Glamour girl? For the May cover of Marie Claire, Jessica Simpson went without makeup or retouching.

The reason: To promote her new initiative, “A Beautiful Me,” a program she is launching next month to encourage young women to love themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin.

“I don’t have anything to prove anymore,” says the singer, 29, who once admitted to getting too much Restylane in her lips. “What other people think of me is not my business.”‘

Still, she tells the magazine she likes to get dolled up every once in a while. “If I’m in a mood to go out and feel hot and sexy, I want long hair that I can feel on my back,” she says. “But I also like bed head.”

Although Simpson said she was thrilled to shoot VH1′s The Price of Beauty — which centers on her world travels to discover how other cultures define beauty — viewers aren’t responding. Her show’s March debut attracted around 1 million people, getting beat by a show on The History Channel.

[From Us Weekly]

Jessica also gives some hair care advice to women, although I’m not sure if I would take it. Jessica says: “People think updos are so hard, but they’re not. Your hair should look tousled and undone.” Agreed. Now if I could only get my hair to stay “tousled” instead of flat, I’ll be in business. Jessica also advises: “I’ll usually wash my hair and let it air-dry wavy, but if I’m just in a hang-out mood, I won’t even wash it. I’ll wait until it smells.” Ugh. I’m an air-dryer too (just because I’m lazy, and it doesn’t matter with my hair), but I’ve never waited “until it smells” to wash my hair. I wash it every day. Of course, I also brush my teeth several times a day, so Jessica and I are constantly at odds about our beauty regimens.

Jessica Simpson wants to be in love & a mom, but she’s “picky”

jessicapaves

Jessica Simpson is attacking her gay boyfriend Ken Paves with her nasty tongue of DOOM. This is an actual photo that Jessica put up on her Twitter. It’s funny how she’s always trying to get Ken to make out with her. And he’s all “no thanks, I know where that sh-t has been.” Speaking of Jessica’s dating past, she’s got a new interview with Fox News Pop Tarts where she’s going a little overboard about what she’s learned about dating and men. Granted, she makes some good points and I can see how some of the stuff she says might be enlightening to a 12-year-old girl, but in general, Jessica is annoying me:

It’s no secret that Jessica Simpson has had more than her fair share of failed romances, including a divorce from Nick Lachey in 2006 and very public break-ups from Tony Romo and John Mayer. But the VH1′s “Price of Beauty” star still believes her Mr. Right is out there – and even has some tips for other ladies who too are lost in the love world.

“It’s important for women not to find their confidence in a man. I think you really have to know who you are before you can truly fall in love and give your all, and I don’t think a man can define you. You have to own that,” Simpson told Pop Tarts in an exclusive interview. “So if you’re ever with anyone who says you should change something about yourself then they should never fall in love with you in the first place.”

And while the 29-year-old has managed to conquer the pop world and stay in the spotlight for over 12 years, she is still faced with one of her biggest challenges.

“By ten years I would love to be a mom, I would love just to be in love and be a mom,” Simpson said. “It sounds simple but it’s a lot harder [ than you think.] I’m pretty picky.”

And after hitting the headlines last year for having added a few pounds to her petite frame, Simpson traveled the world to film the reality series “The Price of Beauty” to explore how beauty is defined by a multitude of different cultures and heal herself from the hurt of being subjected to such tabloid fodder.

“I personally needed it for myself after going through all the scrutiny I went through for gaining a couple of pounds. It was really hard on me and I felt I needed to find some light in the very dark place I was in,” Simpson said. “I realized that people’s judgments about me and about my weight are really just none of my business, it’s not something I should be listening to or taking to heart. People can say whatever they want to say and I cannot take it personally. I know it’s the business I am in and I put myself in a position to be criticized, but I’ve found something that will help me deal.”

Simpson says one of the most shocking experiences she endured while filming was visiting a fattening hut in Uganda and seeing women strive to be called “fat cows.”

“The fatter you are the more beautiful. Brides-to-be go into these huts and gain up to 90 pounds. They just drink loads and loads of milk. They gain weight solely off of milk,” she said.

“These women want you to compare them to cows – they literally want to be called a fat cow. I’ve never heard of that in my life, and being able to live that with these women and to see them go through their routines was definitely shocking.”

And speaking of beauty and body parts, what feature does Simpson treasure most about herself?

“I like my nose, that’s my favorite body part,” she said. “I do have a bump, but I like my profile – I don’t think anyone else has my exact same nose, I think it’s unique and a little flawed.”

[From Fox News Pop Tarts]

I believe that Jessica’s goal in life is to get married and have babies. At least, that’s her goal at this point. Maybe at one point she had dreams of being a real actress (like Pinocchio had dreams of being a real boy), but I think even Jessica knows that her “careers” as a singer and actress are done. Now she’s just a “personality” and a clothing designer (which isn’t bad). Oh, she’s also a “farter” but that’s not a career choice. Anyway, I do think Jessica will end up married with a few babies, and we’ll probably hear all about it.

Are Jessica Simpson & her friends ‘ugly Americans’ on ‘The Price of Beauty’?

paris-cacee-jessica-and-ken

I watched Jessica Simpson’s new travel docu-reality show, The Price of Beauty, on VH1 last night and was struck by how superficial and frankly dumb it was. Simpson is travelling around the world with her two best friends, hairstylist Ken Paves and her former assistant Cacee Cobb, ostensibly to learn about and document the way that beauty is perceived and practiced in different cultures. Instead, they look like a bunch of fools making fun of different cultures and sticking out like sore manicured thumbs. It doesn’t help that Jessica is so dim that she’s amazed by simple cultural differences, like the fact that Thai women want pale skin as opposed to American’s striving for an orange tan.

The show is also very fast-paced and slick, with background music and beautiful visuals. It’s entertaining for a while, but it fails to impart a lesson beyond the basic concept that beauty is culturally influenced. I learned more about the way that young people can act like idiots in foreign countries. I also found Jessica and her friends kind of offensive at times. At one point they met a Thai woman who had attempted to bleach her skin with over the counter products and ended up with a face burnt by the sun. Her face looked like she had a port wine birthmark. When Jessica and Cacee met her, they cried and looked pityingly at the woman, who initially seemed stoic but broke down in tears too. I found it patronizing, to be honest, and when Jessica (who meant well I’m sure) knelt down to hug the woman I frankly cringed. From what I understand, it’s not customary to hug people in Thailand and Jessica barely knew that woman. Would she have pitied a burn victim like that?

The Washington Post has a good assessment of the show and I agree. Here’s part of what they wrote about it:

Will she eat a fried cockroach? (To derive its
beauty-enhancing nutrients?) Will she pass gas during a cleansing but
aggressive body massage in Bangkok, only to crack the obvious “happy
ending” joke? Can she get through a Buddhist prayer session to purify
her soul without giggling?

Soon enough it’s clear that Simpson and her friends are on a trip
around the world to make jokes and get free spa treatments. Sure, “The
Price of Beauty” tries to serious things up a bit (they visit a woman
who irreparably burned her face in search of the Thai ideal of pale
beauty; they go out to visit those tribal women who elongate their
necks using heavy rings), but these efforts fall flat.

At best, “The Price of Beauty” reminds you of the most clueless of
ugly Americans who are sometimes seen in “The Amazing Race,” barking
in Spanish (“muy rapido!”) to cabdrivers in Mozambique; Simpson’s
naivete about the world beyond her own crosses a line from mildly
clueless to patently offensive. What’s striking about this show is
that Simpson, nearing 30, has apparently done little in the way of
maturing or learning since the buffalo-wing days. Even if it’s all a
dim-bulb act, it’s a tired act, and if we’re talking about real
beauty, this sort of ignorance looks unattractive on a woman her
age.

[From The Washington Post]

Here are some of my favorite stupid ass quotes from Jessica in The Price of Beauty

On her painful Thai massage “I thought that Thai massages had happy endings. I’m wondering where mine was.”

On her palm reading at a market in Bangkok
I got chillbumps from head to toe from the fortune teller. He said ‘you’re really going to fall in love.’ Of course right now I’m single. That was comforting
.”

On laughing in a meditation session in front of a Buddhist monk
I couldn’t control it. I felt like I was back in church and you’re not supposed to laugh and you do.”

On eating a worm
I’m thinking to myself, how are you going to do this Jessica? You can’t even eat salmon.”

To be fair to Jessica, Ken and Cacee, they did seem considerably less rude and genuinely affected when they met a tribe in the north of Thailand made up of women who elongated their necks using thick rings. It was too little too late though. One sort-of reverent moment can’t make up for how clueless they were the rest of the show.

Price of Beauty on VH1.com.

Jessica Simpson on John Mayer: “He’ll never have this napalm again”
Jessica Simpson Supports The Price of Beauty

Jessica Simpson is in New York this week to continue her neverending promotion for The Price of Beauty. One thing you have to give Jessica, once she actually gets a job, she’s rather tireless in her promotional duties. Anyway, Jessica appeared on both Good Morning America and The View this morning, and she’s got some new print interviews too. First, her Good Morning America interview. I’ll admit, when Jessica dropped the whole “God was testing me” within the first minute, I rolled my eyes. But she has some intelligent moments, like when she was talking about skin bleaching and stuff. Here’s the clip:

But the real magic came with Jessica’s appearance on The View. You know those women were going to have a field day, and it struck me that Jessica would be a perfect fill-in/replacement hostess if Elisabeth ever got fired (cough cough please cough). First though: her styling. She looks terrible. Bad makeup, horrible dress. Yikes. Anyway, Jessica talks about how if she’s not married with kids by the time she’s 40 years old, she and Ken Paves are going to have a child together. She also talked about John Mayer, saying that after his Playboy interview, “My phone has been ringing. It’s more embarrassing because I’ll walk into a restaurant and I’ll notice that more men are looking at me and I feel like they’re undressing me. [I haven’t spoken to him.] He’ll never have his napalm again.” And when asked if Mayer said dumb things when they were dating, she said “I only thought he was dumb for dumping me.” Poor Jess. It’s taking forever for these videos to come up, so I’ll update with them as soon as I can. You can watch the clip at HuffPo.

Here’s a really crappy quality version:

Ugh. She needs to stop with the red lipstick. It’s not a good look for her.

Not only is Jessica Simpson a farter, she doesn’t brush her teeth

wenn2770691

Back in January, Us Weekly ran a hilarious “exclusive report” about how Jessica Simpson farted (loudly) during a business meeting, and her mom yelled at her for it. The whole thing was kind of unconfirmed, and it made me feel for Jessica. I mean, even if it was true, so what? The girl’s a farter. She smelt it and dealt it.

But now I’m beginning to wonder if Jessica might be one of the grosser women in Hollywood. She admitted to a radio show yesterday that she doesn’t brush her teeth. She claimed: “I just use Listerine — and sometimes I’ll use my sweater. I do brush every now and again, but my teeth are extremely powerful. Fine, maybe when I’m 60 I’ll all, “ow!” Sign up now, gentleman, so you can get this one! A farter who doesn’t brush her teeth on a regular basis. The line forms here!

Wonder how Jessica Simpson maintains her million-dollar smile?

So does she. “I don’t brush my teeth,” she told iheartradio Thursday. “No, really!”

“I just use Listerine — and sometimes I’ll use my sweater,” she claimed, bursting into laughter.

“I do brush every now and again, but my teeth are extremely powerful. Fine, maybe when I’m 60 I’ll all, “ow!”

The singer adds that she loves “anything fried,” and that her nutrition habits weren’t always the best. “Growing up in Texas for me, fish was a fish stick. We weren’t really the healthiest of people. [My mom] didn’t force me to eat healthy.”

Simpson, 29, opened up yet again about her ex John Mayer’s raunchy comments regarding their sex life. “Maybe in his mind he was thinking about giving me a compliment but he wasn’t,” she quipped.

“In relationships, in general, going through a divorce and going through very public break-ups … you don’t want to disappoint people who are rooting for you to be successful in love. I just have to find the right man.”

[From Us Weekly]

Ugh, I just find this disgusting. I’m not one of those obsessive teeth people, but I brush after every meal and I floss regularly, just because I feel better about my teeth when I do. I don’t understand how Jessica’s teeth haven’t fallen out? Are they fake? You know, veneers or capped or whatever? Well, if they aren’t, they soon will be.

Jessica Simpson on John Mayer: “He gave away my game”
Jessica Simpson Takes her Dad to Letterman

Because we were having technical difficulties for a few hours, I kind of missed reporting on Jessica Simpson’s appearance on Letterman last night. Sidenote: I hate her outfit. Anyway, I didn’t watch it, but I’ve read some of the coverage of it. Basically, Letterman got Jessica to talk about everything, from Tony Romo, to John Mayer, to… whatever. Here’s the video and some of quotes:

Why was Jessica Simpson most upset by John Mayer’s revealing Playboy interview (in which he called her “sexual napalm”)?

“He gave away my game!” the star, 29, tells David Letterman on the Late Show, airing Wednesday.

“Normally you would think that somebody you care about would keep those intimate details to themselves,” she says. “It was definitely compliment … in a way. But I don’t really want people to know that about me. It’s like, I’m the good girl and then that happens.”

Although she says she “was very disappointed by the article” and hasn’t talked to him since it was published, she does say she “will always care about him.”

The star of VH1′s new reality show The Price of Beauty also opens up about her ex Tony Romo, who she says is “still a dear friend of mine” even though they split after two years of dating this past July.

“We’re big Dallas Cowboys fans,” she says of the Texas-based Simpson clan. “I still look at his cute butt in the outfit — uniform!”

So, what went wrong?

“I don’t know,” she says. “You’d have to ask him that. He broke up with me on my birthday!”

[From Us Weekly]

Yeah. Meh. As much as I like Jessica, I do get tired of her sometimes, like when she’s promoting something. Although she’s a sweet girl, there’s such a lack of substance in her, it’s kind of disturbing. But whatever. I’m sure I’ll get over it.

Meanwhile, Jessica’s “special friend” Billy Corgan was talking about Jessica’s ex John Mayer. This came from Billy’s epic interview in Rolling Stone Magazine, which we had excerpts of last week. Us Weekly has published some of Billy’s quotes under the idea that he’s “slamming” Mayer. But that’s not actually what he’s doing. Corgan’s just kind of properly identifying John’s douchiness.

Corgan says: “[Mayer is] trying to destroy his career… Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction, some part of it is irritating his soul to the point where he’s trying to blow it up. Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, standing on the sidelines, it’s hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground speaking as somebody who’s done it.” Regarding Mayer’s specific comments about Napalm McMotorboat, Corgan says: “I think for any person who has celebrity to sort of drop rocks at somebody else’s feet like that, there’s things you should really just keep your mouths shut on. There’s things that should just be left alone.” See? These quotes make me like Corgan more. He’s right – Mayer is being self-destructive, under the guise of douchey misogyny. Now, I think Mayer is also, at heart, a douchey misogynist. But the fact that he didn’t know how to hide it is self-destructive.

Jessica Simpson will get her “sexy revenge” with Ryan Phillippe

fp_4657965_simpson_jessica_scp_030910

Since Jeremy Renner publicly denied getting Jessica Simpson’s digits, someone (her dad) had to look for someone else to hook Jessica up with in the tabloids. No, I’m actually not that cynical. Well, maybe I am. I think her dad does do that, set her up with people for publicity purposes, but I don’t really think Jessica is like that. But I digress. Life & Style is reporting that after John Mayer’s Playboy interview in which he referred to Jess as “sexual napalm,” Jessica’s phone “is ringing off the hook”. And one of the dudes who wants to date Napalm McMotorboat is none other than the newly single (and still douchey) Ryan Phillippe. Apparently, Jess has “always had her eye on him” and she’s been texting him:

John Mayer’s racy Playboy interview has ended up being quite the personal ad — for his ex Jessica Simpson.

“My phone is ringing off the hook, I have to say!” Jessica revealed on Oprah, discussing the aftermath of being referred to as “sexual napalm” by the singer-songwriter. But Jessica, 29, is getting her payback: she’s been basking in male attention ever since.

Not only was The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner seen talking with Jessica at a pre-Oscars cocktail party, she’s also begun texting with the newly single Ryan Phillippe.

“Jessica has had a crush on Ryan for ages,” a friend explains. “They’re planning to get together soon.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

This will end in tears, Napalm. Ryan may seem like he’s a half-way decent guy, but I don’t really think he is. Jessica is better off with Jeremy Renner, who just seems like a better guy all around. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like Renner was interested. Who else would be good with Jessica? I’m at a loss. It has to be someone nice, but let’s not overreach. A really smart guy would get bored with Jessica, I think. So we need to find her someone nice who is similarly not all that bright. I still can’t think of anyone…

And what’s up with Ryan only dating blondes?

Jessica Simpson: “I’m not as guarded as you would think”

wenn2767294

I’m sorry if I gave the impression that I don’t care for Jessica Simpson - I do. I like her in the way you love a really dumb, shiny puppy who desperate for attention. I mean, of course I’m going to love the puppy. The puppy can’t take care of itself or hold a complicated thought and the puppy messes itself, but still, the puppy is cute and harmless and sweet and it does not have a vicious bone in its body. Same with Jessica. I get why men (and women like her): she’s uncomplicated, she wants to be loved, she’s vulnerable without seeming pitiful, and she’s shiny.

That being said, I rolled my eyes a little at Jessica’s latest interview. She sat down with La Seacrest as KIIS-FM, and they talked about all of the same stuff that she discussed with Oprah. And Jessica had pretty much the same answers. The only new stuff was her commenting on Tony Romo (“Tony was so great and so supportive and never ever made me feel like I wasn’t sexy” – because being “sexy” is the most important thing, right?) and Billy Corgan (“He’s a very, very dear friend”). Here’s more:

Despite John Mayer’s recent kiss-and-tell revelations about their sex life, Jessica Simpson says she remains, deep down, a trusting person.

“I’m not as guarded as you would think. I should probably be more guarded. I trust a lot of people, actually,” the actress and singer, 29, told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Tuesday morning.

Not that she’s over feeling disappointed in Mayer, who later apologized. “That’s truly how I felt and still feel,” she said. “Somebody that you have cared about for a long time, you just hope they can keep the intimate things intimate.”

On a lighter note, Simpson – whose new VH1 show, The Price of Beauty, premieres March 15 – introduced her new single, “Who We Are,” and spoke warmly of Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, who worked on it with her. There has been speculation that the two are in a budding romantic relationship, though Simpson recently said they were just friends.

“I can’t find good enough words to speak about Billy,” Simpson said. “He’s a very, very dear friend. For him to give his time and his talents and share them with me, it was a great experience. And I hope we can do more music together.”

“Who We Are” is the theme song for The Price of Beauty, in which Simpson travels the world looking at what is considered beautiful in various cultures. The show was inspired by her weight controversy last year, when, she said, “if I put on 10 pounds, it was the end of the world.”

Looking back on those days, Simpson said then-boyfriend Tony Romo helped her through the worst of it.

“Tony was so great and so supportive and never ever made me feel like I wasn’t sexy,” she said. “I was embarrassed by what the world was saying, but I still had my friends and loved ones and family who appreciated me.”

[From People]

Totally boring/tedious/please-be-a-bitch-once-please, right? I would love it if Jessica had one bitchy thing to say about Mayer, Romo, or her father. But I get it. This is the new Jessica, the girl trying to be a classy, enlightened woman. Unfortunately, not everyone feels that way. Gawker had a very scathing piece called “Jessica Simpson: It’s Time To Say Goodbye” which basically describes what a non-celebrity Jessica really is, and will continue to be. Here’s a short excerpt from the piece (full piece here):

She wanted to be a real star who could do things other than pitch unnecessary corporate goods. But her albums soon stopped selling and she skipped from dud to dud, trying to act in Dukes of Hazzard and something ineffable with Dane Cook. Then, like Jean-Claude Van Damme before her, her flicks went direct to DVD. She tried to make the switch from pop to country, but even stupid Christians in the Bible Belt didn’t want her at that point. Like a rotten tomato stuck behind the crisper, she was starting to stink up the joint, but no one could clean her out.

Why? Blame the Celebrity Industrial Complex! Even though we were no longer interested in her entertainment products, she’d started a career as a professional girlfriend, going out very publicly with musician John Mayer and then Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo. The rumors are still swirling that she’s inexplicably dating Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan, which would be the most interesting thing she’s done in five years. And when she needs a little career bump she hits the cover of Vanity Fair or Oprah—not to talk about a project, but her personal life. We find it hard to care about either.

Now she’s back for another round through the publicity cycle, as if she might have something new or interesting to share with us. Sorry, Jessica, you don’t. You’re like that sweater we once bought on sale hoping that we would one day fit into it, but we suddenly realized that we will never wear, no matter how hard we try. You won’t ever fit us and it’s better that we donate you to charity and clear you out of the closet. Because we only have room for so much, and newer, prettier things have come along that we like. Yes, Jessica we’re getting rid of you. And since we barely even wanted you in the first place, please do us the courtesy of staying away.

[From Gawker]

Totally harsh, right? I mean, I don’t hate the girl, and she’s funny sometimes, and she’s never mean. Which is, like, a million times better than what I can say about most “celebrities” these days. Maybe her job is just being someone harmless that we can all root for/sympathize with?
