Jessica Simpson’s last couple of musical efforts have been met with lukewarm receptions, so she’s heading straight for the country and western market, saying she aspires to be like Patsy Cline. She also admits, in the same interview, that she spends a lot of money on clothes.

Jessica Simpson is a big spender, she recently admitted to Harper’s Bazaar — big surprise there. But the singer/actress also revealed that while sister Ashlee “goes to a thrift store and can buy something for 20 bucks … I have to go buy a black button-down at Barneys. For $900. Because it’s a collector’s item,” she said in the magazine’s August issue, which features Jessica on the cover.

Father/manager Joe Simpson also had this to say about her recently offered role as a porn star.

“The last script that came to us was for Jessica to be a porn star,” Jessica’s father and manager, Joe Simpson, told People at Thursday’s ABC Television Critics Association party in Beverly Hills.

“We were promised we would win an Oscar with that,” says Simpson, 49. “I was like, ‘Eh, we’ll just buy a [statue of a] little man and keep our clothes on.’ “

I guess he means buying an Oscar, because another statue wouldn’t be the same. Maybe a spare one off Meryl Streep? Besides, I think we all know it’s the spin you get in Hollywood. Some movie guy rolls up to you, chomping on a big cigar and says” Hey, I’m tellin’ ya, it’s got Oscar written all over it. It’s about a guy who is a Siamese twin, who falls in love with a hooker, but it’s only in his head. She’s not like a real hooker, okay? She’s good lookin’, classy. In the end she turns out to be real, and they get married, except you have to have a bit of dramatic tension, so I’m thinking one of the twins will die a virgin. Then there will be a touching moment where their shared penis gets in on the wedding night. The Academy, it loves this stuff….”

In the October 2006 issue of Allure magazine, Jessica Simpson proclaimed that the way to her heart was through accepting her father, Creepy Pa Joe.

When asked by the interviewer if she thought her father’s overarching role in her life contributed to the end of her marriage, and if any man could compete with her father, Jessica simply had this to say:

“I think any man who is intimidated by that
relationship, I don’t want to be with.”

She further went on to say that she’s not the type of girl who sleeps around.

Whoah, Ken Paves’ hairspray seems to have permanently killed the brain cells in poor Jessica’s head. How this girl goes from talking about her father, to being a tease, and then going gaga for cock is just crazy.

Does she really think we are going to believe she is sleeping with her clothes on next to John Mayer? Also, does Creepy Pa Joe approve of her relationship with John? Because if he doesn’t, John’s going be out of Jessica’s life faster than you can say “Lachey”.

Ashlee Simpson had her first performace as Roxie Hart in the “Chicago” musical in London’s West End last night. Celeb-friendly Hello! magazine says it was top notch and that Ashlee delivered the goods in a live performance after getting busted lip synching just last year:

Since undergoing plastic surgery following her Marie Claire interview telling girls to accept their flaws, Ashlee has successfully reinvented herself. Big sister Jessica is in a bit of a slump with poor fashion choices and a high-profile divorce. Maybe Jessica she should get some advice from Ashlee on how to enjoy single life.

Meanwhile the Simpson sister’s controlling father/manager, Joe, is angering the co-producer of a new movie set to star Jessica, “Blonde Ambition.” “Malcolm in the Middle” star Justin Berfield is said to be annoyed with Simpson’s controlling ways, which may threaten the future of the film.
