Jessica Simpson played it casual arriving at LAX yesterday while Daisy looked pretty glamorous in her Gucci carrier. Most of you weren't fans of Jess's new beer ad or her comments about Carrie and Tony, but she's still trucking along with a smile. The singer is performing at the California State Fair tonight and talked to the Sacramento Bee to get everyone ready for her performance. Here are highlights:
- On her new album, Do You Know: "I hadn't been singing for a long time, and I finally got to that place where I was comfortable opening up again. I'd been going through a divorce, and I wasn't really strong enough to [sing]; I had to go through the hurt and healing. I had to sit back and relax and go through everything like a normal person would. Out of that came the music, and out of that came the record."
- On the biggest misconception of her: "I don't know if I could pick just one. Ummm, that I'm just in it for the money and the paparazzi — they really think that what they see in the tabloids is how I live my life. When we did Newlyweds, I felt that people really got to see me for who I am — the fun side of me, the hardworking, normal girl who burps and falls flat on her face."
To hear what Jess has to say about doing more reality TV shows and how people judge her going country just read more.
- On whether she'd do another reality show: "No! Oh no! At this point, I'd much rather just share myself on stage, through my music."
- On people's judgment of her going country: "They're already judging me — how can they judge someone who's just being honest? I don't do music for money, I do it because I have to."

1Aw, love ya Jess! I'm glad she's not doing another reality show. That one didn't help her a BIT.

3I think she' sweet...try as I might to hate I can't..I'll let the rest of America do that.
4jessica, nobody just thinks your in it for the money or paparazzi, we all just really think you are not talented and are overrated.
5I'd love for her to go away.
6I like her dizzy @$$....can't help it...as long as she doesn't start selling 40's and eating cheetos she's ok with me
7All what, no not all dislike her, she looks so cute casual
8On people's judgment of her going country: "They're already judging me — how can they judge someone who's just being honest? I don't do music for money, I do it because I have to."
That just sounds a little weird "I do it because I have to."...bad choice of words. She should have said more of something along the lines of loving to sing.
9Sorry Jess fans, but I think she's just pathetic.
10She is so incredibly pretty naturally. At least she was. I think she does try a bit hard tho. But I still love her.
11xosofiaxo - pfft, don't be sorry for thinking she's pathetic. I'm not!
"I don't do music for money, I do it because I have to." Uh, what?
12wow, no one shlubs it up quite like Jessica Simpson.
13Speak for yourself CaterpillarGirl. I heard snippets of her album and it is really good. Better than most of her pop stuff.
She has really found her place and I think she is talented and in this world where a lot of people bash her and call her untalented, ironically she is probably more underrated than over.
She looks lovely here and awww-she's wearing Tony's cap.
14i really like her!
15over-rated , not talented, AND in it for the money imho
16she kind of still annoys me - but i guess she's really doing a decent job trying to reinvent herself.
17"I don't do music for money, I do it because I have to." that is an odd comment. Does she mean she has to do it for Papa Joe or the record company?
18Call me crazy, but I really like her.
I'm debating on whether or not to go see her tonight at the fair.
19sorry i really don't like her - I think she's an overrated no-talent puppet with Pappa Joe pulling the strings.
20I think she's gorgeous.
I like the outfit here
21couture yourself Go see her. Then you can decide if she is talentless overrated or whatever once and for all and report back.
22She doesn't even know what she's talking about. She looks cute though.
23She looks so cute dressing casual and shes wearing Tony's hat.
24I think the "I don't do it for the money, I do it because I have to" comment means it's part of her, it's something she has to do because it's part of her. I get that. I play piano, not because I always enjoy it, but because it's part of me. I literally have to sit at my piano for a MINIMUM of 15 minutes a day or I feel out of sorts.
25Well, there you have it. She is really the person we saw on Newlyweds. I couldn't stand that girl. She was spoiled and vain and self-absorbed. So that is really who Jessica is. That's what I thought.
26I think those must be her favorite pair of jeans because I swear I see her wearing them all the time. They are actually starting to grow on me. I kind of want them.
27Here comes the pregnancy rumors...seriously, why is the baggy trend coming back in style?
28California, it's a conspiracy by the paps. If they keep the baggy look going then they have to take more pictures to "confirm" or "negate" all the pregnancy rumors. It's their way of making money! YEAH THAT'S IT!
29I'm thinking that to mykie
30She is an embarrassment to humanity.
31I LOOOOOOOOOVE HER!! Yes, I do!!!!!
32I don't understand her allure. Just not talented.
33I love Jess! I always have, always will! I have the Newlywed dvds and I never get tired of watching them. She seems really down-to-earth. And yes, I am excited for her country cd.
34If tranny is not in it for the money then please explain the rolodex of paps she calls every day, and her slutty beer ad (all her slutty ads for that matter). She makes no money in music cause screaming offkey isn't pleasant, but all her crap exploitative "fashion" ripoffs are money obsessed and bad for the environment.
35HER COUNTRY ALBUM IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! This is the FIRST time I feel really excited about her new album cos I don't really like her pop songs....There are several songs MUCH better than "Come On Over"....This is definitely her BEST album....GO JESS!!!
36No doubt she wore out the knees on those jeans eating all that sausage she loves so much. She's a waste space and buying up magazine face time and tipping off the tabloids to get exposure. A ho making no apologies because as long as dumb guys like Tony follow her around...she thinks she's doing the world a favor by putting out crap and showing her ugly face every chance she gets...
37I heard someone say they want hair like her...just go buy it then she wears it, and pimps it.
Dumb ass...I'll be so glad when the brain dead get enough of this trash.
go away!
38Mykie - Me so confused
Aren't the stars the ones wearing the baggy clothes? So why
would it be a conspiracy by the paparazzi to make more money?
39Because California, they're saying it's the "new style" and taking picture after picture of people WEARING the baggy look, thus making MORE people wear it, thus increasing the number of "Is she pregnant or isn't she" posts.
Go with me, I know it's out there, but so are these pants! LMAO
40Ok, I think I see where you're going Mykie....
