If Jessica Simpson is so dumb, why is she rich?
Pretty girls willing to appear near-nude are a cheap commodity in Hollywood. That is not what is making her successful.

She does have a voice. She does have a body, real or enhanced.

And, she does have good management. How much she is involved, I do not know.

16. OT: Where did you find that pic! I love it!!!
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 07:22 PM by Ladyhawk
I drew this cartoon to illustrate a stupid limerick I wrote:



I like the pic better than the limerick, but here it is anyway: :shrug:

Our class took a trip to the zoo,
And were having a good time of it, too,
Until young Jimmy Joe
Stole the polar bear’s snow
And ended up polar bear stew.

On edit: you do know polar bears and penguins live thousands of miles apart? :D The pic is still cute, though. Ursus maritimus: one of my favorite marine mammals.

26. That was my oldest's comment today
"Mommmmmm, polar bears and penguins don't even live near each other." But I love the pic anyway.

Great limmerick. :D

28. Hehe...I still like it, too, especially since penguins generally
don't carry cymbals, either. :D

Damned cute things, though. We saw March of the Penguins today - I thought of HeyHey's pic all through the movie.

2. Because she's a stupid fucking idiot fuckface...
willing to sell-out and exploit what God™ gave her whenever an opportunity to do so arises.

She's sell her soul if she could. In fact, she probably already has.

Fucking loser.

5. AND...I was going to put
this on another Jessica Simpson thread but thought.."why bother" but I will this one.

When she came back from Iraq where she went to entertain the troops, she asked "what happened to all the footage of video that showed the shelling?"..She said it was Awful over there and she couldn't wait to leave and she doesn't know how they're doing it..I'm paraphrasing but you get the gist.

7. And she is richer than Einstein. Therefore she is smarter than Enstein.
Wealth and brains do not always go together.

8. Payola, my friend--Sony bought her out.....
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 06:56 PM by tjdee
Give me a few minutes to find it, but Sony apparently pumped her up by doing something with radio stations...or something....

on edit:
Sorry, that was Jennifer Lopez. Apparently Sony paid radio stations to pay J-Lo songs. I'd imagine Ms. Simpson's record label does something similar.

12. Because she is selling something not located in
the top portion of her head. She does very well. Many people must just think she's adorable or she wouldn't be trying to act now as well as trying to sing. :hi: :shrug:

17. I'm not stupid, but I'm poor.
I'm poor mainly due to health problems, but I don't have the skill set needed for making vast amounts of money. I am gifted in many ways, but money-making isn't one of them. It seems odd to me that money-making is the most desirable skill in America. I would much rather learn to create beautiful music or a lovely sculpture than get into the cutthroat world of money-making.

People obsessed with making money don't interest me. I find them shallow and boring. They often lack morals.

I wish that my interests coincided with the ability to make money, but they don't. Artists and musicians are not appreciated in our culture. Neither are folks who simply like to learn for the sake of learning.

18. Do you really need to ask?
She has an OK voice, sure....

Mostly, she's cute and has nice tits. That trumps actual talent.

She's actually stupid. Nice tits, though. That's all that really matters.

22. A savvy daddy. He started her in the Christian market,
when it was just taking off and established a large fan base. Then he really dolled her up and moved her to pop. Then he lost his magic, and the sister bombed.
