For some reason Vanity Fair have decided to put Jessica Simpson both on the cover and featured in the new issue of their magazine.
For the past year she hasn’t been looking too good but I have to be honest and say in some of these pictures she does look cute, probably thanks to photoshop but oh well. Here are some bits from her interview:
On her relationship with her dad/manager Joe Simpson: “If I’m going for advice for anything in my life, I go straight to my father because he has the answers. I can talk to my dad like he’s my manager, and put ‘Dad’ on the back burner. We’ve been doing it since I was 13. So, at this point, we’re in a good rhythm. A lot of people find it strange, but it’s the only way I know. And I don’t care to know another way, because it suits me. And we’ve done a pretty dang good job.”
On the medias treatment of her: “When it comes to media criticism, that’s just something I have had to train myself – literally train myself – to ignore. 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. It comes with what I do 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.”
On her faith: “I’m spiritual. I live off the faith that has been instilled in me, that has never left. I’ve never let a stumbling block actually make me fall. We all go through trials, but not one thing has ever made me question God. I have a great relationship with God. I can talk to him, get mad at him, frustrated with him. But, ultimately, my faith is what defines me.”
On her business: “The Jessica Simpson Collection is a $400 million business. My mom and I are creative directors. We have hundreds of people working, but nothing gets by us. It’s adorable and it’s affordable. What’s amazing right now, during this recession, is that, somehow, the business keeps growing.”
On ex husband Nick Lachey and Newlyweds: “I have not spoken to him in years. In all honesty, I believe it did not affect our marriage, Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish. It made me understand what marriage is, what love is, what commitment is.”

Quentin Tarantino is planning to remake Russ Meyer’s graduate thesis on the complex and intertwined relationship between heaving bosoms and ultraviolence, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
The New York Post reports that porn queen Tera Patrick is being considered for a role. “Quentin loves her, and she’s a dead ringer for original star Tura Satana.” said the source.
Patrick gushes over the Russ Meyer 1966 cult film about three women on a violent desert road trip.
“It would be the hottest remake ever, and I’m honored to be considered,” she told Page Six. “I was built for this part.”
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a 1965 film directed by Russ Meyer, who also wrote the script with Jack Moran. It stars Tura Satana, Haji, and Lori Williams.
The film features gratuitous violence, sexuality, provocative gender roles, and campy dialogue. It has become a cult film favorite and has been widely referred to in pop culture.
It is one of Meyer’s more provocatively titled and explicitly exploitative films, yet unlike most of his films, it does not contain explicit nudity.
Some say the best part of summer is the smell of fresh cut grass or going to the beach and watching the sunset. Awww. In all honesty unless you are a free of genitalia or Clay Aiken, bikini photos are the best part of summer.
Carrie Underwood hit the beach and took a quick dunk in the water. While Jessica Simpson may sport a bigger rack, Underwood has the better bod for the skimpy swim suit.
Last night, Bill O’Reilly showed footage of Rev. Jesse Jackson saying disparaging words about Barack Obama during a break. Ok, he threatened to cut his nuts off.
Jackson claims he thought the microphones were turned off. Likely excuse. The reporter beside him totally knew the mics were on, you can see it on his face.
Jesse has already apologized and Obama has already accepted his apology.
The View discusses:
I think Obama let him off too easy — and it’s obvious Rev. Jackson is envious of Obama’s campaign success — he wasn’t so fortunate.
Recently two of the Internet’s loveliest personalities, Xeni Jardin of Boing Boing and sex columnist Violet Blue, had a very public row in the blogosphere when Jardin removed every reference to Blue from public view on her site, totaling around 70 posts.
As the New York Times notes, the fracas raised the issue of whether unpublishing posts on a popular blog (currently there are 1,600-plus comments on the decision) is something a blogger has a right to do.
We’ll, Playboy got a bit more excited when they saw old pics of the pair canoodling on Valleywag. Two sexy, smart, web-savvy women — they couldn’t think of anything hotter.
Playboy Asks: Who are some more of the blogosphere’s sexiest women?
Playboy scanned the web for some of the hottest female bloggers and video bloggers (or “vloggers”) from the worlds of finance, entertainment, tech and sex, and they want to know who your favorite is.
UPDATE (James):Â Apparently, Sarah Lacy is getting quite a bit of traffic out of the whole thing proving, as if anyone still doubted it, that sex sells.
I’ve had one of the biggest traffic days in months, post the whole Playboy mention. Of course, anyone coming here looking for sexy photos was probably disappointed to read about nothing but my book tour!
I’m a little surprised people have balked so much at the Playboy thing. Clearly, I would never consider actually posing nude and assume most of the girls on the list wouldn’t either. (No, TechCrunch commenters, not even for a lot of money. Seriously, what is wrong with men? Just because they’ll get naked at the drop of a hat they think it’s somehow irresistible?) But that’s not all Playboy is about either. Loads of politicians, celebrities, business people have been interviewed and featured in Playboy before, even if no one really reads it for the articles.
She is, incidentally, wearing clothing in all photos displayed on the site.
