Much Too Much

Filed under: Jessica Simpson

sept08jessica.jpg

She's taking this whole country thing a bit far, isn't she????

Jessica Simpson is on the cover of the all-important September issue of Elle magazine.

Dressed as a cowgirl!

The failed actress and singer opens up to the mag about her daddy, John Mayer, Asslee, Tony Romo and much too much.

Here's an exclusive excerpt from her interview!

On her life changing incident:
“I was singing ‘9 to 5’ and I choked and forgot the words in front of the president and in front of Dolly Parton, who’s like the president to me. And the last time I sang in front of the president , I had messed up the lyrics to ‘God Bless America’ so its kind of a thing I have with George W. Anyway, I broke down and said I’m sorry in front of the whole audience. My dad was there. I looked him in the face and said, ‘I will never sing again.’ “

On feeling like America’s most wanted:
“So many people want to bring me down, and I can’t wait to prove them wrong. If they believe what they read about me, they automatically persecute and torment me.”

On her father and manager, Joe Simpson, running his daughter’s love life and career:
“That’s Ludicrous. He just wants me to be happy. Our whole family gets beaten, but that just brings us closer. So people are really doing themselves a disservice.”

On her rocky love life:
“I was going through a lot of pain. I didn’t try anything to change my life other than dating different types of guys and conforming to their worlds. I thought I had to be artsier, more intellectual.”

On her relationship with John Mayer:
“John believed in the Jessica Simpson that’s within. He cherished our love. He helped make me t he woman I am today. John is going to be an amazing man for someone, but I know that I was supposed to be with someone else.”

On recording a song about abuse:
“I had to record that. There’s nothing on my album that you’re gonna hear that I don’t relate to or that I haven’t experienced. Because the only way I know how to sing is from life experience. I don’t want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in away that I would tell people to take their heart and run.”

On Tony Romo:
“Most of the guys I dated were captivated by my heart but they had different ways of trying to get to me. Tony understands me. He appreciates my talent. He’s the first person I’ve spiritually connected with. I’m a girl that loves to be in love. I love love!”

    Perez, this looks EXACTLY like Jessica's 2004 cover of Elle. I noticed as soon as i saw it. She is wearing the same shirt, has the same hair, etc. Look it up!

    Nik is right. That is so NOT Jessica's real bosy.

    I am so sick of these magazines (who do a real disservice to women everywhere ) that make their cover models look like either twink boys ( up Perez's ally) or Jessica Rabbit.

    I have nothing against Jessica Simpson but I'm not sure I want to read anything about her "talent". This country churns out crap like Simpson–barely able to hold a note musically but easy on the eyes.

    She does look like she is trying a bit too hard. But she is a Texas girl. I think she deserves a chance to make it with this country look.

    “Most of the guys I dated were captivated by my heart but they had different ways of trying to get to me." Bitch, please. And why does she always pose the same in every damn photoshoot of hers.

  32. d-bag says – reply to this


    32

    She really just needs to go away. She sucks as a singer, a dancer and is even worse as an actress. The only thing she had going for her was the ass she grew for "The Dukes of Hazzard". Now she's back to her old pancake-ass. See the video for her duet with Nick Lachey and see how fucking flat it is.

    you have got to be kidding….don't get me wrong I like Dolly Pardon, but to say she looks at her like the president of the US. That's a little corny to me. And I think its a cop out on why she forgot the lyrics to the song

  35. Joe says – reply to this


    35

    Jessica hasn't done anything to hurt anyone. Whether you like it or not, the girl has an amazing voice; she can really sing.

    I think she is gorgeous. She's one of the few that will be photographed without make-up.

    noooo she looks so pretty/skinny
    and she is from TEXAS perez so she is allowed, its not like its paris hilton posing as a cowgirl

  37. Urk says – reply to this


    37

    I think she looks ridiculous! The belt buckle has me laughing. When I was a teenager, I dated a farmer who had a belt-buckle like that and laughed at him because it was hideous. It's still hideous, and the fact that she has decided to change her appearance to look "country" makes her seem even more fake, and not really into it.

  38. Erica says – reply to this


    38

    Jessica has always worn more western type dress, if you failed to notice, I don't think it should be blamed on her for "trying too hard". You are a poor excuse for "media".

  39. Beth says – reply to this


    39

    The airbrushing looks botched up, too. Her right hip/upper thigh (left side of photo) looks slightly normal, but on the right side of the photo, she looks inverted. In the attempt to make her super-skinny they made her look deformed. Not attractive at all.

    she always poses with her hands on her hips to steady herself so she wont tip over because of her gigantic head and big boobs.

    She's got an incredibly gift but she's one big walking stereotype. From the hair to the skankiness and now this country facade.

    43

    I'm sorry Perez Hilton but before you talk about stupid things do some research. Jessica Simpson is a country girl, she was born and raised in TX, she was claiming to be a Southern country girl when her career first started and she was singing Christian music! Now look at all of the other pop stars that have failed or the singers that are just getting started b/c most of them are going over to doing country music before anything else.

    Yeah, the shirt is similar to the September 2004 Elle cover, but not exact. Plus in 2004, her hair was so blonde it was almost white. But I am surprised they decided to go with almost a copycat cover of the last one…damn, that girl is so over-exposed.

    I don't know about you guys, but I want a pound of flesh from Jessica Simpson. I don't know why, but over the years I really don't like her. Maybe it's because she takes things too seriously and would sell out many things she loves to be on the cover of magazines. What she doesn't understand is that even though she was on a lot of tabloids a few years back, people did not love her. She was fluff, filler. People were never fasinated by her. She takes things to seriously and tries to hard. If she would just come to a point where she just didn't care about her public image or take it too seriously, like Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan, then people might start liking her. Still, I want a pound of flesh.

    I love Jessica. I actually loathe country music but I think she is great and one of the few people left in the entertainment industry who is just trying to do what they love and be themselves. The rest of you are just jealous idiots (Perez included).

    OMG They must have gotten Mimi's retoucher! How much fat did they take off her body, cause she def has never looked like that!!! And what is with those two necklaces? Ugh! She is so annoying. She needs to shut up, go away, and go to the Cowboys games in the fall so Tony can be distracted again and they can LOSE every game! HAHAHA. Please, Jessica, no one cares about YOU or your lame-ass family anymore!

    she really is sad, her comments about abuse, what's that about.



  58. 58

    I would never save my virginity for my husband,get divorced and start screwing guys I'm dating. There was no purpose of her even saving her virginity. The Bible also speaks against divorce as well. If your going to practice morals for one thing why not do it for your marriage too? I can't stand Jessica Simpson. I always felt sorry for Nick on their reality show. She didn't give a fuck. Her daddy is a chester molester. The abuse is probably from his fondling her kitty.

    Perez, Ya know? All you do is slam people that are actually decent people like Jessica and Miley Cyrus. Then you call Slutney a"Pop Princess" Let's see - Jessica and Miley can both actually sing , Slutney can't. Neither of them have purposely flashed their crothes - Slutney has several times. Do you really mean the shit you say or are you just getting posters riled up? Seriously, Miley is just a kid - back off. And Slutney is just a skank. Call each of them what they really are.

    I've always liked her. I think she is real and isn't afraid to make fun of herself. Sure, she has made some mistakes in her past, but who hasn't? I can't imagine living my life in the public eye. I think she looks pretty on the cover, but why did they change her body? She looks better with some curves. Her things are nonexistant. Now every young girl looking at this mag will go throw up their lunch. Airbrushing sucks!

  70. Sarah says – reply to this

    That's a lovely job of photoshopping on the cover. Are we really expected to believe Jessie has that teeny-tiny waste? Must be the same person who touches up Mimi's photos.

    I think she looks great on the cover,, she is a pretty lady,, I don't get all the picking people do with her,, she is not mean,, hateful or out to get anyone,,
    just cuz you played a ditzy blond on a reality show does not make you a bad person,,
    I think it's cool and a bit daring that Elle went with a cover of jeans and a country type outfit,,
    looks great to me,, I wish her much luck on her new album,,
    I do not do country music,, but I'm sure a lot of people will buy it up,,

    can't stand her. conforms to everyone she is around and admits it but fails to realize the only thing making her act country is Tony Romo. And anyone who is taking her seriously as a country artist should realize that she never spoke about being country or Texas before she was trying to be a pop star. She's ONLY DOING THIS BECAUSE SHES DATING A DALLAS COWBOY!!!! if she was dating someone on and LA or NY team she would be ditching her southern roots in a second!!!!!!! get a clue

    Re: #59
    "…a conservative Texas girl…"
    How is posing soaking wet, in next-to-nothing, in a men's magazine 'conservative? Seriously, when Jessica first came out I really had a lot of respect for her, not because I enjoyed her music, but because she actually stood for something. I understand there is a lot of pressure to conform to a certain image in the entertainment world but I can't help but notice how the whole 'good-girl' image went out the door as soon as she got divorced.

    Jessica, sweetie, people are gonna bring you down when they read inane interviews like this one. Do you want us to believe or not believe what we are reading in "Elle"? Cause I gotta tell ya, hon, if you want to to have people think you're more than an air-head and actually have a degree of intelligence, you should stop giving interviews and pontificating on your heart, Dolly, George W. love, spiritual connections, hurt, conforming, etc. etc. It's drivel, sweetheart, and you don't do yourself any favors when you open your mouth.

    What a coincidence that she mebtions abuse now,a month before her cd gets released and it's autobiographical and supposedly she wrote the songs too…Is this another sad attempt to get people to feel sorry for her?Why doesn't she mention who abused her IF SHE HAD TO release this song?Maybe a lawsuit?We all have been abused in one way or another if you want to get technical about it.

    She hasn't lived in texas for about 10 years, she is now an LA snob, who is using her texas roots to promote herself only because of her new country cd. What is also interesting is she started dating Romo when she decided to go country, and her Dad introduced them. Food for thought.

    93

    ok i looked at the older elle cover where she was wearing a similar outfit.

    the first thing i noticed is that older one looks way more genuine and real as in she was comfortable in her own skin then and is not now.

    she really is lost and is doing herself a disservice.

    Poor Jessica. Her 15 minutes of fame are up and now that she's almost 30, it's time to call it a day, invest what $$ she has left, move to TX and find someone else to marry her–and maybe between popping out kids, sell her wigs on HSN (and count herself lucky to be able to do so). Unfortunately, though, she just doesn't get that. The woman is neither bright nor talented–and anybody who messed up on stage like she did at the Kennedy Center Honors (and why was she there in the first place?) is SERIOUSLY out of their league. Also, if she really thinks country music fans won't expect more from her than pop fans, she's sadly mistaken. Her inevitable failure as a country music singer will have nothing to do with people wanting to "bring her down," and everything to do w/the fact that she's just not good enough.

    Daddy!!
    I just checked out Perez's site and they're saying awful things about me again. Why did you make me do that interview and say all those things? No one's buying it. Daddy, I just want to be famous. Why do people have to be so mean? By the way, lots of people know the picture on the cover was photoshopped - I told you I should have just worn that mumu.

    I looked up the 2004 Elle cover - it is not the same at all. Her shirt is totally different - look at the lines. Also, her hair is different and much more bleached blonde in 2004. It's not even close to the same picture.
