Jessica Simpson

[Mums84]

Here from the Britney thread. Had no idea Jessica was so out of it these days. Noooooo. I used to love her, she had a body care range which was a fortune for teenage me. I wonder what happened to that. I had the creme brulee shower gel.

I think it was that he was very jealous and insecure about her success. I didn’t know much about her before the book but she’s comes across great in it!

Pretty much, he was just an arsehole and she had had enough! But yes agree, she comes across wonderfully in the book!

 

[depository]

John Mayer described her as sexual napalm. I always assumed she’d be boring in bed. Would love yo know what he meant by that.

Nick was a control freak.

 

[emm]

No way! Didn't even know he hosted it Haha. Gonna have to watch the American version just to see him embarrass himself. I didn't like the way on newlyweds, he epipd complain to Jessica that in his interviews they would always ask about her, instead of his new single or whatever and he would be raging lol! Everyone just wanted to know about her and ge only got airtime because of her and I bet he knows it.

oh god it was SO cringe. he interviewed his wife by her name and then and "and of course "

I thought Jessica slept with Bam Magera when she was filming The Dukes of Hazzard? I’m sure there’s an interview where he said they did

It wasn’t Bam it was Johnny Knoxville who was also in the film. Apparently they had an emotional affair- never physical - but we’re both obsessed with each other for ages....

Just finished the book and bumping for completion.

It's a 4/5, the industry stuff was fascinating and lived up to expectations - she's never going to work with the old people from her label so no harm in dishing the dirt. She skirted over things like the drunk Ellen interview in two sentences and felt she was holding back alot. Very protective of her sister unsurprising and kept mentioning how talented she was.

Bit boring towards the end going a bit self help and being nosey I would have liked to see photos of her before and after the two cosmetic procedures on her stomach. Bonkers to have the surgery against the advice of your doctor especially when you have two kids. Still felt like a big marketing tool for her brand, but that's to be expected.

The new songs were a nice touch, but totally not needed. Doubt I'll ever listen to them again, the first one was the by far the best.

There used to be blinds about a popstar who didnt include anal when she was saving her virginity for marriage.
Jessica was always the main guess.

In the us among religious groups this is apparently really common which is apparently the cause of a huge growth in stds among teenagers in abstinence programmes... I never really liked nick but dislike him even more after his intro on love is blind “and I’m nick lachay, obviously” as if he is that famous, I bet none of the younger audience knew who he was

 

[Jumpindesia]

Love Jessica...haaated Nick even back then as a young teen i could see what an arse he was!

 

[S4buk]

Omg I used to be obsessed with Newlyweds!

I’ve been wanting to read the book but heard there’s a lot of talk of religion in it which puts me off.

There really is which I wasn’t keen on (each to their own etc)...I just glided over those bits and got to the juicy stuff. It’s really quite religious at the beginning but don’t let that put you off - it gets good!

 

[Yel]

All the John mayer stuff I found really boring. I don't think he's that good at all and we've all encountered manipulative guys like that. I would have rather heard more about all the hookups with a Listers on private jets!

 

[Belulah]

Did she write the reason for their divorce? I think I read at the time that she surprised him one day by asking for a divorce but interested to know if she wrote why in the book.

I think it was that he was very jealous and insecure about her success. I didn’t know much about her before the book but she’s comes across great in it!

I’m listening to a 90s podcast where they are reading the book and discussing it. I think Jessica has come across really well. I didn’t even know how to pronounce Nick’s last name- so it’s not as obvious as he thinks

Yes, remember there was an episode of newly weds where they checked into a hotel and the staff pronounced his name wrong. He had such a little tantrum. Also will never forget the Oprah interview, going over Jessica’s success and even Oprah said to Nick, just let her get a cleaner. Imagine if that show aired now. I don’t think he would get away with being so controlling.

 

[ChubClubThug]

She's always been nuts it's brilliant I think I'm gonna get the book too! I never took to the sister though

[ooeer]

I’m an OG Jess fan, still love watching Newlyweds, enjoyed her book. I really don’t like Eric, on Lipstick Alley they call him Dirty John and say he is not to be trusted She made a rod for her own back making her whole book and press tour about overcoming her addictions when she seems worse than ever now.

There used to be some tea about Newlyweds back in the day, that the house was a fake MTV house right in the middle of the porn valley, that they had CCTV all over the house and had hours of Jess and Nick having sex, and possibly blackmail attempts over the footage?

I can’t remember now…was it Bam Margera she was fucking during Dukes of Hazzard? Actually I think it was the whole Jackass crew SMH Nick was a good guy, she will never find another as good as him imo.

Her dad was creepy af back in the day, Old Papa Joe always talking bout Jess’s double D’s, don’t know how she could bear it.

isn't her dad transitioning? He has boobs himself in her last family pic I thought

 

[Telly Fanatic]

Is this thread still active ?

It must be.. as i got a notification about your comment.

 

[lexiloo]

I think you're spot on. I misunderstood him a decade ago when he was talking about Jessica's double D's but now it seems so clear he wanted to be her. I do feel sorry for him that he spent so many years being closeted, but he's still creepy.

Just watched the episode of newlyweds where they made videos and watched them back. Nick's face after seeing Jessica's video and pappa joe confirming the budget Jessica asks how much his budget was and he sulks off saying he doesn't want to talk about it Jessica knew the ballpark figure for her video so obvious wasn't an airhead.

Nick would be so much more attractive without the generic and boring tattoos.

This isn't far off being a good song, I had to watch it after reading Jessica talking about him recreating their life for a video:

I loved that song, thought it was pretty good and felt sorry for him at the time.....until I remembered how stroppy and controlling he was on most episodes of newlyweds and now reading the book its very........woah!

replying to this really late to say it was johnny knoxville. they had a very intense (by her own admission) “emotional affair”:

Jessica Simpson Had an "Emotional Affair" with Johnny Knoxville While Married to Nick Lachey

In her memoir, Open Book, Simpson writes about her connection with her former costar.

they apparently wrote each other love letters every day but never acted on it (which, hmmm )
