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 & 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.

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?

Jessica Simpson continued to work on getting her body back in shape for her next film, Major Movie Star. So far, Jess has been doing okay on the big screen, but we wouldn't say she's made a strong name for herself as an actress just yet. What do you think - will Jess ever be a major movie star?

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.

What to Download: New Music Today

BuzzSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:30:29 -0800

Time for more Tuesday entertainment! I've already shared a few new DVD releases to give your movie library a shot in the arm, but now, let's amp up your iPod. Big-name albums hit shelves today, so be sure to read up on these three. (And if you want to see your own music reviews featured on Buzz, submit them in the Music Review Group in the community!)

Fan-pleasing pop: American Idol fans rejoice: you've said that you're interested in post-AI albums, and now Kris Allen's anticipated self-titled debut is finally here. The song selections started a bit bland for me, but Allen picks up momentum with "The Truth" and the soft but moving ballad "Bring it Back." Both songs get needed oomph from orchestral accompaniment to create a sweeping sound that's sure to make Allen aficionados swoon. As for the rest of the album, it's predictable, but likable, much like the singer himself.

Why the sad face? Listening to John Mayer's latest, Battle Studies, you've got to wonder who ripped his heart out - Jessica Simpson? Jennifer Aniston? Every song is about a hurt guy who doesn't want to love again. Sensitive crooning isn't anything new to Mayer, but this time, it feels like mundane easy listening. I long for the days of "No Such Thing" when we had a more upbeat Mayer, or the Mayer who can riff on the guitar like nobody's business. But we don't really get either here. Still, it's worth noting his collaboration with Taylor Swift on "Half of My Heart," and my personal fave, "All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye."

See one more release when you read more.

Diva in training: Leona Lewis burst onto the scene two years ago with "Bleeding Love," and now she returns with her sophomore follow-up to Spirit, Echo. Lewis hits the high notes - and she'll once again draw comparisons to Mariah Carey - but the lyrics don't always pack the same punch, and they often feel like recycled love musings. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to see Lewis branch out of her usual comfort zone with the dance track "Outta My Head" and "Can't Breathe," which goes heavier on the R&B. If you've seen those Precious promos, you've heard another song from the album, "Happy," but it was recently announced that Lewis will be providing the title track for the film Avatar, so listen for her voice to show up there, too.

Ouch!

As many of you may have heard, Jessica Simpson's handlers decided that her straight-to-video movie Blonde Ambition wouldn't go down without a fight, so they made the humiliating decision to screen it in 8 theatres in Texas this past weekend before shelving it. How many people showed up? A whopping 48. Oh. My. I blame Andy Dick. But seriously, could it have been worse than I Know Who Killed Me?
