Jessica Simpson: The Angelic Life of the 20th Century Daisy Duke

Jessica Simpson, a Dallas native, has a birthday of July 10, 1980. She was raised in the small town of Richardson. Jessica's singing ability was first seen at a church summer camp in Dallas, Texas, the same church where her dad was a youth minister. She took the compliments and went on tour to Christian conferences where she'd sing and sell home-recorded versions of her songs.

Jessica also auditioned for a role in the Mickey Mouse Club when she was 12, but she didn't get the part because she froze in the finals. When Jessica Simpson was in J.J. Pierce high school, she hung out with the crowd that was popular and respected. She was voted Homecoming Queen two years in a row. Jessica used to be a cheerleader in high school as well.

In the late 1990s, Jessica Simpson switched from Christian music to pop. She was "discovered" and signed with Columbia Records and released her first album Sweet Kisses. The album featured hits like I Wanna Love You Forever and I Think I'm In Love. Simpson's second album, Irresistible, showed Jessica's more flirty, sexy side. She then came out with In This Skin in August of 2003. A lot of her songs were inspired by her husband (boyfriend/fiance at the time) Nick Lachey.

In 2002, Jessica Simpson married longtime boyfriend Nick Lachey (singer and former member of 98 Degrees) whom she'd met while on tour with the band. Jessica then released the book, I Do: Achieving Your Dream Wedding. Her book tells the story of her wedding and gives tips on planning your own wedding. Jessica and Nick went on to star in their own reality TV Show on MTV. It was called The Newlyweds. The show was an instant hit. I liked it because it showed Jessica's many "blonde moments."

After being on MTV, Jessica Simpson was interested in more acting. In the summer of 2005, Jessica Simpson made her film debut playing Daisy Duke in the Dukes of Hazzard. Jessica also released her movie track These Boots Were Made for Walking which featured Willie Nelson. Jessica also more recently stars in the comedy Employee of the Month with Dane Cook. Though that movie hasn't been the big hit that Dukes of Hazzard was, it still gives Jessica a good, strong role.

After being married for four years, Nick and Jessica divorced in 2005. Since their breakup, both Nick and Jessica have released new albums. Jessica's newest album, A Public Affair, is upbeat with many listings being dance tracks. Jessica has been seen dating John Mayer, though their relationship has since ended.

Outside of music and acting, Jessica Simpson has her own line of beauty products called Dessert. Jessica Simpson loves hot pink roses and has a dog named Daisy. Jessica has a younger sister named Ashlee, who is also a pop singing hit. Jessica's father, who is a psychologist, manages her career, and her mother designs her wardrobe and assists in the business affairs.

Unlike many of her competitors like Brittany, Jessica Simpson has a natural beauty. Whatever she is doing, her clothing seems to mold right to her and looks amazing. Her face is angelic, her blonde hair is soft and flowing, and her skin is always tanned. Magazines claim that she eats a lot of junk food, but with her small body, I wish I had her secret or surgeon!
