Interviewing Jessica
We just can’t get enough of Jessica Simpson. She’s in the paper almost daily about anything from the wandering eyes of her hubby/singer Nick Lachey to being sued by a beauty product company to her former reality show.
On getting that perfect Daisy booty:
“I’m trying. Trust me. I can’t even walk! I have a white-girl booty. For the past four days I’ve been in the gym 3 hours a day, so it’s going to be interesting to see if I can walk anywhere! I’m having to watch my diet, watch everything.”
On dieting:
“I learnt you can eat bread, but if you have it in the morning, don’t have it with dinner. Or have it - but don’t soak it in Alfredo sauce.”
On her charity Operation Smile:
“I love to be involved with children’s charities just because obviously they are our future, and I’ve really had a soft heard for kids ever since I was a kid. My dad was a minister, so we would go over to Mexico and to third-world countries and work in orphanages, and it always impacted me how much these kids smiled when they had absolutely nothing. What I love so much about Operation Smile is that you’re actually giving somebody a chance to smile.”
Jessica on her fashion icons:
“Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe. Brigitte Bardot is the all-time sexiest woman - curvy, voluptuous, just breathtaking.”
Favourite styles:
“Old Hollywood glamour, curve hugging, timeless, elegant looks.”
Outfit she most regrets:
“Dressing in a way where you’re not yourself. Life, I don’t have a specific outfit in mind because I love all the outfits that I’ve worn. But trying to be a pop start, trying to have an image when I’m not that kind of person. I don’t want the leather and the chains and the midriff and the head mike, that’s just not me.”
Anything you’ve worn that you’ve said, ‘I wish I hadn’t worn that’?
“No, I mean, back in the day. On my last album, yeah. I wish I wouldn’t have worn anything. Because it was all made. It wasn’t a designer. I love designers.”
Anything you would NEVER wear?
“Anything too exposing. You can expose in different kinds of ways. Too much skin is too much for the eye; it’s better to leave something to the imagination. If you wear a curvy Narciso Rodriquez dress people know what’s underneath, just as long as it fits your curves, that’s what’s hot.”
What styles look best on your body?
“Everything has to be fitted at the waist, otherwise it looks maternity.”
