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?

    Hmm. From the side it’s definitely cute, but I agree with you on the first picture. It reminds me of a profile picture when my friends’ moms join Facebook.

    If she actually went that short without gradually transitioning though, good for her. I don’t know that I would have the cajones to give my mane the Felicity treatment.

  2. Maritza says:

    She looks cute either way.

  3. ogechi says:

    the hair is cute. she looks fresher.

  4. lucy2 says:

    Agreed – from the side kind of cute, from the front, yikes.
    I doubt she cut it for real. She’d have publicly announced it in some way by now.

  5. lola lola says:

    They look like 2 different wigs to me. The first one is just butt ugly and makes her look ugly too. The second one is a bit more modern but I don’t believe she’d ever have the cajones to cut all her hair off. She’s a Southern girl & the big hair is part of her identity.

  6. Kolby says:

    Looks like two different wigs to me, the second one is quite cute on her. Dammit, now I want to make an appointment to get my hair cut.

  7. Crash2GO2 says:

    I think it looks gorgeous on her. Much more flattering than the cookie cutter long blond hair.

  8. mhjmc says:

    She looks cute with short hair!!!

  9. Lala11_7 says:

    The second one gives her a MUCH NEEDED EDGE…it works for her…but then, I’ve ALWAYS loved the bob…I don’t care how you rock it!!!

  10. t says:

    She looks a lot like Ken Paves especially in the second wig. Maybe they’ve added a new wig to their wig line called “The Paves” and they are using Twitter to advertise it.

  11. ligeia says:

    even if its real she can get extensions the next day if she hates it.

  12. R2D2 says:

    Those are wigs but I think she would look good with the cut in 2nd pic.

  13. Tia C says:

    Who gives a rat’s ass about this chick anymore?

  14. ViktoryGin says:

    Kaiser, yes!

    My first though when I saw the first photo was this wig reeks of Texas football mom.

  15. dagnytaggart says:

    why is ken grabbing her boob?

  16. Novaraen says:

    Looks real to me. She had a lot of hair and hiding it under a short wig would make her head look unnaturally large and bumpy. So yeah…looks like she did chop her hair off.

    I say it looks great…the 2nd pic is better, of course. She has had that poofy blond bombshell hair for too long…this is a nice change.

  17. Jillian says:

    The profile shot is good. The other is way too 90s soccer mom.

  18. terry says:

    She looks good so does not maater either way!

  19. Ursaline says:

    So I guess they get bored and he plays with her hair on the plane trips? Better than old magazines I guess. 🙂

  20. Hautie says:

    Actually this is what happens when you finally realize that extensions/weaves are the devils work. hahaha! You have to chopped off the fake hair along with your own hair to start over.

    Jessica hasn’t had her own natural long hair in probably 5-6 years. She had kept extensions for years since Paves enter her life and slowly cut off her own beautiful long hair.

    If Jessica had any kind of sense she would fire Paves and just let her hair get back to a natural state. Buy a WIG/Fall if she feels the need for long hair till hers can grow back.

    Now if someone would get Britney to cut off that unfortunate weave of hers…

  21. Judy says:

    Hope she cut her hair. I never thought she was pretty before–she’s darling with her hair like this.

  22. bellaluna says:

    I’m gonna have to go with wig on this one, especially since she and Paves create wigs & extensions.

  23. gg says:

    In the second photo the hair is styled completely differently and it looks like she’s just playing with wigs – she sells them you know. 😉

  24. nAynAy says:

    I think that that style is definitely for her. She looks really cute with short hair.

  25. Feebee says:

    Wow, what a relevation, she looks good. Agree though the styling should be down instead of up.

  26. Joan says:

    Who cares and why do you continue to report on this reality show hasbeen???

    ” It reminds me of a profile picture when my friends’ moms join Facebook.”

    Oh crap I am a Mom and I am on facebook..I don’t need Mom hair on a Monday morning 🙁
    *runs off to go check my profile pic*

    I do like the second picture she looks cute. And I also wish Britney would chop off her weave, I bet she would look wonderful with her real hair.

  28. hatsumomo says:

    Its super cute, even the ‘mom’ one! And I want a wig! Sooooo badly! There’s a wig shop a few blocks down from my work and i poped in there for a break and the wigs are soooo pretty! Im dying for one! But they’re made of polyester and start a t a hundred. the cheapest. I want a human hair one!

  29. JuiceinLA says:

    AHHH-gree- love it from the side, but from the front, she looks like the world’s blondest soccer mom…

  30. mollination says:

    I think those are two seperate wigs/cuts. But yeah, the 2nd one is much cuter.

  31. a says:

    wow! She is a really pretty girl.

  32. Cinderella says:

    Cute 2nd shot, but do wigs have dark roots? The first shot ages her by 20 years. Surely Ken would not do that to her.

  33. kelbear says:

    They have lots of different wigs in their hair line. So I bet they were just having some fun.

  34. princess pea says:

    @ Joan – At least 33 commenters care, apparently. That’s probably why they continue to report on her.

    Did you know that you don’t HAVE to read each post? You can skip the ones you have no interest in!

  35. bellaluna says:

    @ hatsumomo – either way, wigs itch like crazy…that’s why I just deal with my monstrously naturally long hair. And let me tell you, there are seriously times when I wish it was short, but I just can’t cut off any more than 6 inches. I like the variety it offers: part it in the middle, on either side, French twist, French braid, regular braid, low bun, high bun, pony tail, etc… But as a co-worker pointed out, it is heavy!

  36. Darlene says:

    The first one looks like a wig, but the second one looks like her natural hair. And I like it!

  37. Lilias says:

    They look like wigs to me.

    And she does look cute with shorter hair, even though it ages her. The second one looks like hipster douche hair.

    What is it with people being into people being “edgier”? Is there something wrong with wanting to be sweet and adorable as opposed to overly sexual or “edgy” (whatever that means)?

  38. Tru says:

    one of her best friend Ken Paves wigs from his line.

    cute.

  39. Susan says:

    I’m sure it’s a wig, but a beautiful, voluptuous woman like Jessica can pull off a short, sexy do. She should cut her hair.

  40. Camille says:

    I love that second look on her- she should cut it short for a change!
    I wish Jennifer Aniston would do something similar, I think she looked so much better with that bob she had that time on Friends. And Britney Spears is another one who looks better with a bob.
    Not everyone looks good with long hair.

  41. AnonPlus says:

    She looks like Ken Paves’ twin.

    She must be bored and looking for attention.

  42. Jag says:

    I really like the wig in the second picture. If they’re going to sell it, I’d buy one, but in a brunette color.

  43. Kitty2000 says:

    @bellaluna – you’d probably feel like you were floating on air for a few days if you cut it. All that weight gone… But I agree, long hair is so versatile.

    I used to work near a wig shop. I’d try them on like Jennifer Love Hewitt tries on engagement rings. 😉
