Jessica took Daisy along for some shopping in New York after her fun weekend with the Pussycat Dolls in Vegas. Jess is looking much happier these days and it's not just because she's found a great guy. While in Vegas, Extra grabbed a moment with Jess to chat about life these days. Here are highlights:
- On the next year:
“I'm so happy...it’ really going to be the year where I am no longer the girl with potential – I am the butterfly!” - On her hair:
“I’m happy to be a brunette because it reflects who I am now.” - On life (and her hair):
“There’s a lot of discovery and that’s what’s so amazing and humbling about life… everyday there’s a new discovery whether it’s as simple as hair color or a new friend in your life, a new person in your life.” - In summation:
“I’ve got to get my life together and become the woman that I’ve always wanted to be and just love life and love who I am.”
I have to admit I have softened up on Jessica again since her divorce, but the butterfly and brunette comments both seem a little weird to me. Wasn't it her blonde girl act that got her famous? Anyway, it sounds like she's got a couple of good men to thank for her newfound happiness. Not just John but her hairstylist and BFF Ken Paves, too!
There are times, however, when her new look betrays her -- like last night's Costume Institute Gala. Check it out here.

1jess looks so pretty here, wait her glasses cover her whole face thats why lol
I wish her new lease on life included a new lease on how she sings into a mic. Remember when all of a sudden she started shaking her head when she sings? A little harsh, but what are you going to do?
2A little less tranny here but I still don't like the girl.
3She looks gorgeous here!!! LOVE IT!!!

4Is butter a carb?
Hmm.. I cannot wait for the interview a year from today..when her record sales continue to lag behind her lip syncing sister and she has had another few plastic surgeries, and John is long gone having moved on to a talented big busted singer, and her "acting" career has tanked. And Nick and Vanessa have announced that they are having a baby or some such news like that! "Oh I am so fullfilled.. I am the lonely unsuccessful woman who shouldn't have let her father tell her to get a divorce and talk me into the fake boobs.. that I have always meant to be!! I am a second butterfly woman.. spreading my wings to fly into a "where are they now?" special" Perhaps blonde again Jess???
5I think Jessica would pull a "Britney" if it weren't for her handlers having such tight control over her life.
6I think she is the biggest joke in Hollywood. Close up her face looks so strange, hee lips are so unaturally large, her skin is burnt orange, and she makes clothing look cheap. She has really tacky style. She can not act and watching her sing is painful. I can usually find at least one good quality that would keep someone famous, but asking if tuna is chicken can only go so far.
7i like her, but she makes it so hard, she needs to discover how to keep her assests to her self i've seem way too much of them lately.

No matter what she's always going to be the dumb blond she always was...
_________________________________________________________
9Behind every great man, there's a woman rolling her eyes
Go J Simp! I think she looks great and I'm glad she has found happiness in her life. LOVE YA JESS!
10Uh oh...why is she going all Mariah Carey Crazy on us?
11She just makes me want to vomit.....I think it SO ridiculous shes even famous, shes a such a waste of space.... why cant we make them go away????????
12Awww, it's Daisy! I'm glad she's no longer MIA, she such an adorable dog
13OH - And I hate how shes like I get to be the woman I always wanted to be....what the hell???!! She didnt seem to upset when she was making all that money when she was on Newlyweds, Oh Jessica im sure your life sucked so bad being married to a man who loved you and put up with your stupid stupid *ss....!!! Give me a break!!
14What she wore last night just shows how desparate she is. She looked like Jessica Rabbit! Her boobs were hanging out and her dress looked painful. You left out the quote about what she is leaving for the bedroom. She's going for shock value. Her career is on a downward spiral.
15As long as i don't see her coochie hanging out, see her snnorting 20 lines of coke and shoving a finger of coke up someone else's nose, see her in a sex tape, hear about her stealing and as long as she doesn't look anorexic she's all good for me. Her only fault is dumbness and breaking up with that butthead and compared to other "starlets" she's an okay person. I can't stand Nick and his and Vanessa's relationship is going to go the way of all other relationships in Hollywood, 2-4 years of their lives wasted i bet.
What a facking liberty!!

17i think she is trying to give mariah carey and dolly parton cometition, with those boobs
ah! Daisy
18She looks sooo much better without fake tan.
srsly, Roberto Cavalli designs for Posh and Kate Moss, bonyass you are not, jess!
She does look pretty here.
But seriously, not all butterflys are free. What a lame thing to say.
19Well, she sounds very happy now, I'll give her that...
20She is so much prettier without all the make-up, I wonder who talks her into overdoing it so much whenever she dresses up? Pimp Joe? I admit she does not have much style, but she is naturally cute, especially if she would lay off the orange tan and let her lips be their natural size. Talent? Probably not, but then again, who of the starlets got real talent?
21I agree with nyaradzom - at least we do not see her snorting coke or looking anorexic.
I'm really starting to like her lately. I'm sure she's made her share of mistakes during her marriage but she's picked herself up and moved on. She seems more comfortable in her own skin now and more confident. She's transitioning into a woman not just acting like a big goof ball so everyone likes her. I hope she stays this way.

23i agree i would prefer to see her boobs then see her snorting ending up in rehab or poping out babies and not taking care of them.
didn't she always have light brown hair, then dyed it really blonde,, I cannot stand her...
24If hair color is what changes you and makes you, well - you, then you got a prob.
25She got a divorce to Nick Lachey because she didn't love him. That's not a crime.
If Nick and Vanessa move on and have kids with each other good for them. That just means he got what he needed out of life and the universe set everything right.
Jessica Simpson is a woman in her 20's, making normal mistakes. What really gets to me is that apparently as a woman you aren't allowed to make mistakes. If you do, you should be crucified for them for the rest of your life. There seems to be no room for redemption for women, and it's mainly other women weilding the ax. I guess some things never change.
She looked a hot mess last night and needs to stop listening to bad stylist and their bad advice. But she'll look back at the pics and probably say the same. You live and you learn.
26...her hair is cute though. But I still see a ditz under there. *ahem*
27i like her blonde better
28So she should be commended for not being like her peers? Puhleeze...she's in the same category as them. You figure she's not like them because you don't see them being like them? Maybe they've got great minions around them to protect that image, they sure wouldn't be the first.
Every freaking time, she acts like she's got this ephiphany about life, and about being a woman. Second album flops..."worst time of my life, third album.."I love who I am..blah blah" SHUT UP ALREADY! And as much as some may not like the "meathead" that she was once married to, that man, cared about her, and didn't try to pimp her out to the highest bidder.Nick's relationship has nothing to do with this chick being annoying. She's trading her God given talent for fame, pure and simple. She's happy to be famous, and she doesn't care what it's for.
29Awwwwwww, it's Daisy! Jess, I rather you as a blonde. I wish you would've listened to "papa joe" and stayewd with Nick.

31i think her father was the reason they are not together anymore.
i just cant stand her anymore after the divorce. she is trying to hard. No matter what she does she still ends up looking like a loser. although she hasnt gone to "rehab", gone out without her panties or got caught smoking up or doing drugs i still put her in the paris hilton/lindsay lohan category. trying to hard, loserish, and extremely unclassy!!
32I don't really care what she does at this point or what color her hair is. I've read too many interviews with her that point to her being shallow and divorcing Nick for stupid reasons. I don't like John Mayer and the two of them make me groan.
But, if she's happy and drug-free, that's a leg up on half of the rest of them.
33How did she trade her god given talent by getting a divorce from someone she realized she shouldn't build a life with?
Please explain.
34I don't like her; she looks so cheap, no matter what she's wearing.
35Everyone always goes on about how much Nick loved her etcetera etcetera why because he showed he was "devastated" and because he sang that stupid a** what's left of me crap? Why is it always the woman who clearly had a problem to leave the hot guy. If you fall out of love you fall out of love. She might be dumb but clearly it works cos she's on Popsugar, we're posting and she's still making and spending money.
36What a facking liberty!!
The best thing about her..the most likeable thing was Nick.
37Yes Jess you are so deep (and she's clean). Imagine if she snorts the magic powder also? She might be even deeper!
38I have and always will like Jess. I don't know what it is, but I just have a soft spot for her.
39I feel john helped her answer these question. She makes me not believe she's happy becayse she's constantly telling us she's happy.
40My friend and i were talking about how she just F-ed up her face with all the surgrey. Sad she use to be decent looking and she looks a hot mess.
****"Everything in life is only for now."-Avenue Q****
I just wish she'd go back to blonde, lay off the heavy make-up and fake tan, and put her boobs away. Not to mention stop getting stuff done to her lips. She used to be so pretty...she's starting to remind me of Britney, in the beginning of her downward spiral.
41I really do not think people dislike her for getting a divorce, a lot od people have beren divorced and it has not stopped peoople from liking them, I think tthe reason people do not care for her is basically she really is overexposed with no real talent.
I am tired of seeing her since she never has anything worthy to promote. I hate her style, hate her singing and her acting is not even worth mentioning. I do not think she is a bad person, I just do not care for any of her "talents".
In my honest opinion, I do think herand her father thought divorcing Nick would be good for her career, which was not.
42Miss Bardot,
She does need to go back to blond.
Mar,
I don't think she divorced Nick because of her dad, I think she married him because of her dad. Getting the divorce was liberating probably because it seemed of her own doing. Marrying Nick and creating Newlyweds is what put her on the map. Destroying that image and trying to figure out where to go is what's messing up her career these days IMO.
I think you're right about her "talent". I'm not into her music at all, I'm a Mayer fan. His art and style are more my vibe. With her I just get being young and how hard that journey can be sometimes and I think women are hard on other women a lot of times. I don't like Britney Spears much either, to me she has no talent, her music is crap, but I don't hate her and don't want her to be destroyed by all the scrutiny.
Maybe it's the feminist in me or something, but it's knee jerk for me to run and protect the girls because I think sometimes all you get is vicious if you're a woman and trying to learn and grow. Or maybe it's really not that deep. Whatever.
43i hope she finds the happiness she is looking for...she seems down to earth
"stay far from timid, only make moves when your hearts in it and live the phrase sky's the limit."
44i dont not like her cuz she isnt with nick anymore.. i just think after she stupidly divorced him she became GARBAGE!! im sure nick told her to look and wear a certain way and thats y she looked muuuuuuuuuuuch much better b4. he probably loved her fugly but natural god given face too and thats y she was normal b4. after the divorce, shes back to wearing really ugly uggggggggly clothes and im pretty sure she f**kn up her face cuz shes insecure. when she was with nick hed shower her compliments about her looks and now no ones even telling her anything. her new "guy" looks like a total ASS. he seems to care only about himself no time for jessica. im sure if he treated jessica the way nick did shed never touch her fugly face and make it even fuglier.
45Ugh, she is gross and hideous no matter what.
She is just so over.....
46Oh and just because no one has shown the world photos of Jess doing coke....doesn't mean she isn't.....
47Agreed.
48~Give it to me Larry ~
she looks gorgeous!love her .
cute do!
h8 her purse!
~Aint nobody love you like i love you..~
49lula, I know what you mean, I just think SHE thinks she is really talented, and that is what bugs me about her. She was young and fresh looking when she was married, I remember her hair blonde in a bob and she wore a white pants suit to an MTV gig, she was so darling back then.
50I feel like where she fell off the wagon was when she was like "I"m so normal, fame did not get to my head like the OTHER girls," and that was when she got so cocky to me. Flubbing her lines on movie sets, messing up the Dolly Parton tribute, Dukes, all signs that she is TOTALLY overrated and she is better off as a reality TV star.
I honestly think Ashlee has more musical talent.
Overexposure KILLS a career unless you are very talented, and change up your act.
I am sure she is cool and goofy, but there a lot of cool girls out there that do not try to be in everyones' face just because they can.
Also, at the end of her divorce , I feel like everything was very calculated, ESPECIALLY the Africa trip that Nick did not want to go on where she bailed out early drom being "sick", to go on a safari. That was PR manipulation to make pp think she was so deep.
