Jessica Simpson Gets A New TV Job On NBC Reality Series Fashion Star

See, Jessica! Things are looking up!

Last month, Jessica Simpson was reportedly devastated when she got snubbed for a judge’s spot on X Factor US.

Despite losing out on that job, Jessica will still be returning to TV as a celebrity mentor on the new NBC reality series Fashion Star.

On the show, she’ll “mentor aspiring designers as they compete for the chance to win a multi-million dollar contract to launch their own brands.”

Given the fact that she has SUCH a successful clothing line, we’re thinking she’ll be great for this, and it looks like NBC and Universal Media Studios executive vice president Paul Telegdy feels the same way:

“With an almost billion-dollar lifestyle brand under her belt she is sure to be an excellent mentor to our up-and-coming designers.”

Jessica will work alongside former model/fashion mogul Elle Macpherson, who will be hosting the show.

Congrats on the new gig, Jessica! We’ve got a good feeling about this one!
