Jessica Simpson was, at one point, considered the hottest of all celebrities in Hollywood. She had a flawless body, cute voice, dumb persona and curves for miles. I remember Simpson’s heyday. All of the boys loved her, all of the girls hated her. A true sign of the times for the songstress-cum-reality-star-cum-actress.
However, a piece was written over on Gawker stating that Jessica Simpson’s become the crude, stinky kid that’s not afraid of blowing farts in public, the one who everyone blames their own grossness for. According to Gawker’s article:
There is a certain kind of child who always has sticky red popsicle slush dribbling down his chin. Everyone blames farts and lice outbreaks on him. How did ex-certified hottie Jessica Simpson become Hollywood’s version of that kid?
And I ask, “Why?”
Is it the way that Simpson’s come over to the public in the past few years in the way she’s wanted, and not how Hollywood’s dictated she should? Because she wasn’t afraid to gain weight and take it off … and gain a little bit back again? Because she’s goofy and genteel and real? Because she sometimes says questionable things that make her look a little foolish — but at the end of the day, she owns it and revels in the realness of what she’s done? Because she posts funny — not whored-out — photos of herself on Twitter? Because, above all, the girl speaks her mind and sticks to her values, damned be the repercussions?
Well, if all that is the case, good for her. I’m glad that Jessica Simpson can be who she is without having to dilute or accept the convoluted version of who she is in order to be Hollywood-acceptable.
As far as Hollywood’s misconception that all women have to be thin, glowing, fart-free, serious, kissy-face-makers … bullshit and piss off alike. Simpson is clearly a real woman — one that would hang out with you when you’re sick, damned be how you look, would knock back a few beers and pizzas with you without running to the bathroom every five minutes to yak it up, would fart in front of you — and accidentally-on-purpose in public, too — and laugh about it because come on, what’s funnier than farts?
All joking aside, though: In my eyes, Jessica Simpson is Number One Normal Person in Hollywood. She’d just as soon sit with her laptop messing around on Facebook while eating a half of a bag of Oreos (including the crumbs stuck in the folds of her shirt) than she would get dolled up and hit an A-list party.
We need more women like this in Hollywood and less of the women who appear to be untouchable in every way possible — quit trying to vilify the normal women, Hollywood.

Jealousy is a cancer that afflicts the weak.
maybe it’s that whole “I only brush my teeth twice a week” thing?
I’ll admit … that was pretty gross. LOL But still.
That is exactly what I came to the comments to say!
That is also what I came here to say!
I never liked Jessica Simpson until she went through the divorce and became more real. Or maybe when she lost her pop tartlette persona.
I think she’s gorgeous, too, just gorgeous, no matter what her weight is.
As for her intelligence, she’s no different than any other Hollywood raised or kid destined for pro athletics. . .they aren’t as book smart because they haven’t had to be.
At least she admits it!
Well, at least she doesn’t try to build up how smart she is when she’s kind of “wet candle in a dark” bright. I like her, even though she has terrible taste in men.
She straight up farted in a business meeting though
Jeremy Roenick farted live on national television while commentating during the Olympics.
I just farted.

Oh Sarah, for once I agree with you wholeheartedly! I’ll go eat my hat now.
I think Simpson is a gorgeous, gorgeous woman and even though she’s not famous in Europe, I still follow her because she fascinates me in a good kind of way, not like Lindsay Lohan, who fascinates me in a accident-with-dead-people-you-can’t-look-away-from kind of way.
Thats a big 10-4,she can eat her Oreos and fart in my bed anytime she wants,and give me a deal on her shoes!
LOL Yay! I knew there’d be some topic that we’d come to terms on! :)
Oh Joey–you are the undisputed King of Zing, I think.
Well, I love her shoe line, but I’ve always been thoroughly indifferent to her for the most part.
