Jessica Simpson rocks the ruffled look on the January cover of Marie Claire, trading in her signature smile for a more sultry face. The singer has always been serious about her faith, especially with a minister for a father, and she talked about religion and how she uses self-help books in the interview. Here are some highlights:

- On religion: "I've been contemplating taking a college course in religion. I love
religion. I remember whenever the book The DaVinci Code came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I TiVoed and then watched eight times." - On self-help books: "I am the first person to go to Barnes & Noble and buy the new
self-help book. I like to fill out the surveys, then I get my friends' opinions on how I answered to see if I was being honest with myself or not."
Jessica is always the first one to admit that she's open to self-improvement, but at least she's always as honest as possible with her fans.

she comes off so clueless!
1well it can't hurt to get a healthy perspective on things right? i don't typically believe in those books but i know that they do wonders for a lot of people, so i guess if she find value then it's not a bad thing
2She gets inspired by commentary on The DaVinci Code?
3Wow, just wow.
she watched it 8 times... because thats how many times it took her to understand it
4I like Jessica; it's not like she has to pretend to be all deep & profound. She is who she is; buffalo wings from buffalo, platy-ma-pus, oh my gaw! and everything else!
58 times? Get a life, Jess.
6oh jess!
7lol @ LikeThoseShoes hahaha.
yeah i used to like her, but i'm over it
8Pretty picture, but the words "smart" and "genius" even on the same cover as her pic makes me laugh.
9why does she sound so empty?
10She is such an airhead. A college course? What college? Calabasas Community College?
11Really, why is she being interveiwed? She needs to just be quiet for awhile. That would be nice.
12The word genius and Jessica on same bit of paper..........................................
13'I love religion'!?!?!?!?WLF
LMAO #4.
14She couldn't have a worse expression on her face, could she??
15"I love religion" is just too much... She probably likes religion as much as I like movies... It's not that I believe in any of that, but I find it entertaining.
16I can not wait until she dissapears. I say 2 more years and she will be totally uncared about anymore...unless of course she actually finds a career.
17This girl drives me nuts. She doesn't know when to put a sock in it. Seriously! Why is she still even getting the covers of magazines?! I do love the karma though , back in the day when she thought she was going to be some huge movie star and decided to throw away her whole life at the time for fame it blew right up in her face and daddy dearest . With her its always the same story just a different man or bad album .
18Why does she get magazine covers??????
19I don't know what it is about her that I like but she's likeable. it's nice that she tries to do something to educate herself a bit more. and good for her wanting to take a college course. she's another one of those, "damned if she does and damned if she doesn't" celebrities. that sucks.
20good for you, jess!
She looks great! I love that she is a CHRISTIAN especially living in "Hollywood." She looks great!!
21yeah um, love God, not religion...duuuuuh
22Poor girl. It must be awful to be so ditzy. I can not help but to feel sorry for her. She is pretty though and seems sweet...
23The DaVinci code is fiction. Why, oh why, would she take notes on religion from that? She's not very bright.
24It's all fiction, just some of it is better written. Dan Browns ode to nonsense is not stuying material though!!
25Hopefully some college will help her
26Well, those who can't think...TiVo and watch it 8 times.
27Wow. To think people have compared us. I'm insulted to the highest power.
She has definitely come across as being an idiot in the past, but those comments in particular make her seem insecure and she also doesnt seem to know herself very well. Religion and self help books are vehicles for trying to find yourself and your pupose in life, even if she has a 13 year olds perspective of the process - checking with your friends to see if you answered correctly? I support self improvement though so hopefully she actually discovers something about herself thats meaningful like what the heck happened to her career. Does she even still sing??
28Meh...
29rofl at #4
30Sulrty look???? Nothing about that expression says sultry to me.
31On the one hand she seems like a complete clueless airhead..
32But on the other hand she owns that image and makes no apology for who she is. I do love that about her.
as clueless as she may be...i still like her
33"I like to fill out the surveys, then I get my friends' opinions on how I answered to see if I was being honest with myself or not."
This is why I don't like her. She can't be even honest with herself!
34I truly wish fashion magazines would go back to having new and interesting models on the covers much like they did in the 80's and before. Instead, we are bombarded with the same recycled celebrities.
35Why is she on a magazine cover AGAIN?!?!
I think it's funny how she mentions religion and then brings up The Da Vinci Code...honey, that movie/book is fiction. Sorry.
36You people are asking why the magazines keep taking her as their covers?? Becos her name SELLS!!!! Duhhh....
Just becos some of you dislike her and b*tch about her on the internet doesn't mean all other people in real life are the same! It has been proven in SALES!
37Oh, this Marie Claire article also indicate her shoes made retail sales an estimated $250 million this year....awesome!!
38I don't find dumb people sultry or sexy. its one thing to talk the talk, however, its another thing to walk the walk. Jessica is real good at saying I would like to attend a college course, but will she actually do it. No she won't. She is just saying alot of nothing to fill up a magazine article. Next week she will be saying something different. I don't know why magazines keep putting this hasbeen on the covers. she has nothing interesting to say. If she actually takes a college course in theology, hell will freeze over
39She's on covers why????????????
