Jessica Simpson sings her own praises

[Honey]

Vanity Fair
"When it comes to media criticism, that's just something I have had to train myself—literally train myself—to ignore," she says. "Because I'm the one up there onstage, and I can feel the energy of the crowd. And I know when I did good. And I know when I did great. And there wasn't one time on this tour when I felt like I butchered it. I mean, the way people make it sound, I should have never been singing in the first place."
But like sister Ashlee Simpson says, "Jessica is a fighter," and she's going to fight this injustice by owning an authentic part of herself.
"It comes with what I do," Jess continues. "And I know that every day the media's going to challenge me, is going to want to bring me down. But I feel like I'm at such a place that I own myself, and it's authentic. I own that authentic part of myself, and none of those words are harsh enough to make me believe them...I can't imagine saying some of the things people have said about me about anybody else."

In boy news, there is only brief mention of her Newlywed costar Nick Lachey, (for good reason) of whom she says, "I haven't spoken to him in years." And turns out her current boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, enjoyed the MTV show: "He thought I was cute."
It's good he thinks so, because most Cowboys fans can't stand her, calling her Yoko Romo. Not that the couple pays much attention to that. Jess just deals with it. "That's how the story goes. Can't help it. But we don't let it affect our relationship...I'm always there for him after a game, and he knows he has me to come home to."
There's one more man in her life she enjoys talking about: God. She gets along with him pretty well. "I have a great relationship with God. I can talk to him, get mad at him, frustrated with him," she says.
And that's it. Mean media, Tony Romo and spirituality are the only things the writer is able to get out of Jess. Nothing about the future of her career, which Cohen writes is at "one of those critical junctures, beyond which every possibility, both glorious and obscure, is open."
Will Jessica reinvent herself or fade into oblivion? Considering she's already tried and failed at the reinvention thing, that option is looking less possible, but then Papa Joe doesn't let any of his daughters fade away. So maybe it's safe to say she'll always be around, just popping up whenever she screws up something new.

"Jessica is a fighter," and she's going to fight this injustice by owning an authentic part of herself.

Pffffft. Come off it, honey.

[Sylkyn]

That is a horrible picture of her. I mean, really bad. She looks 'special'. And not in a good way.

Yoko Romo

Its the Jessica curse that the building collapsed on the cowboys.

I will give this to her. She managed to get the cover story on a popular monthly magazine when she has pretty much nothing special going on at all. Aside from the fact that she is dating a famous quarterback. I don't know how she did that, and there are probably more than a few much more talented, prettier, semi-has been actresses/singers who would like to know how she did it too.

I think she emptied her piggy bank and paid Vanity Fair to put her on the cover. There is no other explanation.

Jesus I just killed quite a few brain cells reading that shit. FIGHT THAT INJUSTICE GIRL.

[Laxmobster]

^ Seriously, the only injustice is the fact that Jessica still tries to remain relevant...and still sings

finally, something she can remember almost all the words to ...

[sputnik]

wow, vanity fair has really gone downhill. i knew it was getting trashier, but really, stooping so low as to have this trashy bimbo on their cover?

[qwerty]

I cannot understand the urge to be famous or the need for attention, good or bad. The woman is super rich now, despite her failings. Retire from public life and enjoy your money and life.

[darksithbunny]

[BITTER]

How retouched is that picture? Majorly heavily retouched....
