Even The Simpsons Movie Premiere Can't Escape LL

Molly — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 13:32:41 -0700

The humans behind our favorite yellow family and some of their other famous friends came out in LA last night to celebrate the premiere of The Simpsons Movie. It's been impossible to avoid the hype (and adorable promotion), and we'll all finally be able to see the long-awaited film on Friday. On the yellow carpet the adorable Hank Azaria cheekily stuck his finger up Homer's nose while JC Chasez was a little more tame in front of the poster. What do you think of Erika Christensen's more mature look? As for Dr. Phil, never one to miss an opportunity to impart advice, he had this to say about Lohan's problems:

"Somebody's going to have to step up and tell these young talents that they're not bulletproof. I just hope somebody doesn't have to get dead before somebody wakes up and says 'we've got to wake up and slow down.'"

While I'm loathe to admit that Dr. Phil is ever right, he's got a point. That being said, it came out in the most smarmy & smug way possible.

Jessica & Her Fabulously Fit Body Fly To Boot Camp

PopSugar — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:02:14 -0700

Jessica Simpson got ready to board a private jet yesterday with Daisy. Apparently she's off to boot camp to prep for her film, Major Movie Star. It's obvious she's already been working hard to get in shape. In fact, she even admitted that she owes it all to her trainer, Harley Pasternak. She credits him for helping her maintain and create some new curves. Jess said,

"He's given me a butt, because I have white-girl syndrome. I have to do as many squats as I can to get a little booty. ... I have to be [diligent]. I'm a curvy girl. You don't want to see me not working out."

"Curves are better," she says. "I don't get the whole rail thing. It's not good for your heart, it's not good for your mind; it's emotionally destructive, it really is."

Well, Ms. Simpson is certainly acting like a good role model lately for those of us who want to look hot and fit like her.

Jessica Is A Major Movie Star, Designs Underwear

Molly — Mon, 21 May 2007 10:32:25 -0700

Jessica's whirlwind tour of Cannes to promote Major Movie Star is over. She's already back in NYC, but before she left France she took time to sign autographs and show off her honey colored hair. In the upcoming film she plays an actress who signs up for boot camp when she is sick of being typecast into blonde bimbo roles. Jess says that the movie's striking resemblance to Goldie Hawn's Private Benjamin is no mistake, saying about Hawn, "I adore her and look up to her. I aspire to be her." As for her break-up? Rumor has it that she and John went on a date last night, and John was seen leaving Jess' NYC hotel room with a big smile on his face. Hmm, so much for our trying to help find her a new man?

In other Jessica Simpson news, she is planning on expanding her line of shoes and bags to include intimates inspired by the Jess. Jessica described the collection as "fun, flirty and exactly what I would want to wear.” Papa Joe must be so proud.

Jessica's Not A Major Movie Diva

PopSugar — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 11:43:22 -0700

Jessica Simpson showed off those toned arms of hers as she toted adorable Daisy around between takes of Major Movie Star. We haven't seen much of Jess lately, but that doesn't mean she isn't making headlines. There was a nasty little rumor that she was acting like a diva on set, however, her co-star Vivica A. Fox recently jumped to her defense. She said, "Those vicious lies they put out were just that – lies. She was so much of a team player. She was gracious and so down to earth." We're definitely glad to hear that Jess isn't being a brat, especially since her film career hasn't exactly earned her bragging rights just yet.

The Coveted Dallas Role

PopSugar — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 11:17:48 -0700

The role of Lucy Ewing was being sought after by many in young Hollywood. Names like Jessica, Lindsay, Paris, and Kristin were being thrown around as the possible actresses to work with J Lo and John Travolta in the big screen version of the hit TV show. Turns out producers went in another direction and took a virtually unknown actress named Katie Cassidy, the daughter of David Cassidy. US Weekly reports:

7th Heaven actress Katie Cassidy, 19, has beaten out Jessica Simpson and Kristin Cavallari for the role that they were both up for in the new Dallas movie (also starring J. Lo and John Travolta’s enormous head). Cassidy, who is the daughter of former teen idol David Cassidy and most recently starred in the film Click, will play the character Lucy Ewing.

“Producers wanted to steer clear of the drama and also thought Katie was simply better for the role,” a source tells Us Weekly.

And by staying away from drama that meant that J Lo supposedly did not want another diva on the set. I wonder if the producers saw how easily Katie seems to be able to go from innocent to provocative?
