In the September issue of Lucky Magazine Jessica Simpson the 30 year old singer and reality star says that she is at peace with her full figure and curves. Simpson is also quoted saying “We all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that’s not always what’s beautiful. It’s about making peace with yourself.” The controversy surrounding the cover photo is that it is very obvious that Simpson has been airbrushed and appears about 10 to 20 lbs thinner than she really is. In the picture on the cover and inside the magazine it looks as if her head is disproportionate to her body. One Lucky magazine reader is quoted as saying “While I appreciate the comments [Jessica Simpson] makes about loving and accepting her body, I would find them more believable if she did not allow the magazine to airbrush her until her body looks nothing like the ‘real’ Jessica. These are the ways we could actually induce change rather than just giving it lip service. The body in these pictures is NOT the body we see in candid shots. I doubt it could hold up the head on top of it in real life. Come on Jessica!! Take a REAL stand!”

Jessica Simpson is now dating retired NFL San Francisco 49ers tight end Eric Johnson. Jessica had previously dated Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo for two years. A source close to Jessica said that the two have actually been dating since May and that “She is happy that she found a great guy. She’s really happy.” The singer will be turning 30 on Saturday and has said “I think [30] is going to be a good year for me.” “I can find love anywhere.” Simpson’s show “Price of Beauty” will be returning to VH1 in 2011.

On Tuesday June 22, Jessica Simpson showed off her new line of jeans called “Jessica Simpson Jeanswear fashion line” in an exclusive NYC showroom. Jessica’s empire has already reportedly made $500 million from the sales of it’s shoes, handbags, swimwear, and lingerie. The new line will be released in the Fall of 2010 and will also showcase woven and knit tops. Her denim will come in skinny, super low skinny, jegging, bootleg, and flare.

Last night was the season finale of VH1′s “Price of Beauty” starring Jessica Simpson while she travels around the world with friends Cacee Cobb and Ken Paves to discover different cultures beauty regimens and what they consider beautiful. After traveling to seven different countries and discussing the lengths women will go to be beautiful such as plastic surgery, dangerous diets, skin treatments and altering their bodies the finale wraps up in Los Angeles. Jessica, Cacee, and Ken visit an L.A. high school and talk to teens about the pressures they feel and the main thing affecting their self esteem is a need to be thin.

• 42% of 1st-3rd grade girls want to be thinner (Collins, 1991).

• 81% of 10 year olds are afraid of being fat (Mellin et al., 1991).

At the end of the show Jessica announced a new initiative called “Beautiful Me.” She describes it as a way to “help youth believe in themselves and use their personal strength to change the world.” Thanks to Jessica Simpson and VH1 we were able to see beauty in different cultures forming a new perspective that no matter where you live beauty really does come from within.

Jessica Simpson took to her twitter account to let everyone know how she feels about the CW’s new show Melrose Place. The show recently got rid of Jessica’s sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz character on the show. Jessica wrote on her twitter “CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap?i have had bad scripts to work with,but this?thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press” Sounds like maybe she is just mad that they canned her sis??? Although I haven’t gotten the chance to watch the new show, is it really crap?

Jessica Simpson took to her twitter account to announce that her dog Daisy had been snatched up by a coyote right in front of her. She also wrote that the are still searching for Daisy and asked for help. I can’t imagine how awful this must have been for Jessica. One of her neighbors said that she heard screaming from Jessica’s house around 9 p.m. on Saturday. Jessica got Daisy from husband at the time Nick Lachey and is often seen carrying Daisy around through airports, basically taking Daisy everywhere she goes. So sad for Jess
