Jessica’s mom supports divorce
Ok, this is a little strange. Jess’ mom Tina has apparently come out and said Jessica should always trust her instinct and follow her heart:
“I always tell my girls to trust their instincts because women have an innate sense of things. It took a lot of strength to know what she wanted to do and divorce Nick. For any person, it’s a difficult thing to do.”
I completely think that parents should be there and help their kids, no matter what decisions they make in life. But I’m not so sure if the advice of following your instinct is always so wise. Sometimes our instincts tell us just to give up and not persevere. Sometimes our instincts give us wrong first impressions of people. Sometimes our instincts get colored by our circmstances and we need people to give us perspective to our situation. That marriage is hard work and it takes more strength to work through problems than to divorce and never deal with them.
I’m becoming such less a fan of Jessica and her family because they’re not telling me anything different than anyone in Hollywood is. Have you heard Reese Witherspoon speak lately? Now there’s someone with real values, with a faith that is real. She doesn’t seem tarnished by Hollywood, fame and fortune.

reese has and will always be my most favorite blonde girl! she has a good head on her shoulders and she is very much grounded by her values! unlike someone we all know!

I think Jessica & Ashlee’s parents think the sun shines out of their little girls & would always think what they do is great, morals or no morals.
Why does her Mother even have to comment, does anyone care what Tina say’s anyway?

I love both Jess and Resse. they are my two favorite icons. jess is going through hard times but if she wasn’t in the publis eye then it wouldn’t be a big deal but since she is a super star then everyone blows it up. i think everyone goes a little overboard on things such as this!!

i have to diagree austin! They chose this life they knew what they were getting into when they started and if they dont like it they should not have been in the biz in the first place. Jess’s parents are all about church and god but their little girls are party animals! you have to wonder….. Tina like any mother is going to take her daughter’s side no matter what she really thinks. At least that is what my mom would do.

I do agree, Reese is a very good person for young adults to look up to, she has never been afraid to say that Ryan and her children come first, but saying and doing is two different things and that is what separates Reese and Jessica, Jessica can say it until she’s blue in the face but her only priority in life is herself, Reese has had her priorities straight since before her first pregnancy. I’m predicting that Ashlee will end up settling down before Jessica even begins to realize how fake she’s become.

Yes, I have heard Reese speak and I liked what I heard. She was on Oprah when “Walk the Line” first came out, and she said that it is appalling how these girls like Paris Hilton act, because it is an insult to all the women who came before. It is not cute to go through life acting dumb and not expanding your mind with all the opportunities that girls have available to them. Anyone who has an interest can go back and read about what women went through so that our generations could have the freedom to pursue education, to marry who we choose, and to even have a choice about birth control! These freedoms that we as women enjoy were hard-won, and for “Stupid Girls” (thanks, Pink!)to go around acting this way shows no respect for what the past generations of women had to endure. I would much rather listen to what Reese has to say that listen to “Mommy” justifying her spoiled brat’s divorce! Bottom line…Jessica is believing her own hype and wants to be free to see what else is out there. She got married too young. On top of that, living in La-La land doesn’t exactly ground a person in reality.

I agree with Kimberly saying that saying and doing are what seperates Reese and Jessica. Jessica does not act on her words when she says her family comes first. If that were the case, she would have stepped away from the spotlight for a bit to focus on her and Nick. I honestly don’t think any marriage will ever work for Jessica unless she learns AND keeps the marriage her first priority. She progressivly got worse in many ways throughout the past few years. Say hello to the new Jessica Simpson.

I also meant to comment Tina… lots are saying that that’s what every mother would do. Well not my mom… I’m 23, married with a child. My mom doesn’t think twice to knock me back to earth if I start going into “la-la land” (not slap me, but just a figure of speech”) sure stand by your daughter, but if you see her making mistakes you better be ready to play the adult and straighten her up… I know, I know, Jessica is over 18, she’s an adult herself, but she’s said herself that she’s spoiled rotten, and her parents has always done everything for her, (I quote this from either the first or second episode of Newlyweds), so have said that… Tina should draw a line from where she praises her daughters and where she calls them out on their mistakes. Joe’s sure as hell ain’t going to do it… their “mistakes” are making him too much money. Nick actually done it, he didn’t just constantly let Jessica have her way, sure on small things but he actually got her thinking like an adult… but when mommy and daddy go almost everywhere with her, and let her have her way Nick can only make her stay on planet earth for so long. Sure we wouldn’t know all this if she wasn’t in the public’s eyes so much, but whether it’s positive or negative she loves the attention, because once again I quote “I must be doing something right, to be getting all the attention, haha”

I thought Tina was the sane one in the family. I used to love Jess as well.I feel so sorry for Nick.I also think Reese is a good role model.

Tina showed her stupidity when she made the statement that Jessica’s I.Q. was 160 or higher??? Come-on Momma, the average intelligence quotient (I.Q.) is 85-115 therefore Miss Jessica would be in the category of GENIUS and in the top 2% of the worlds’ population! !
I DON’T THINK SO!!!!!!
Anything that comes out of a SIMPSON’S mouth is a lie!! (my opinion)
March 14th, 2006 at 12:32 pm
i really dont know i like nick and jess i mean i think jess is making a mistake and tina should call her out on it not say oh good job and give her a pat on the head sometimes moms have to put their foot down even though jess is over 18 tina can stil give her oppinion. so that is what i think!!!!!

Does anyone know how I can buy Nick’s new CD single “What’s Left Of Me”.. I tried bidding on eBay but it’s getting out of control….
Thanking you in advance if you can help!!!!!!

I checked… walmart.com has it. just go to walmart.com, and go to music downloads, just type in what’s left of me in the song spot, and it will be about the 4th song that’s on the list that pops up… for 95 cents, and a few minutes to download, you can’t really beat it.

Thanks Kimberly…

guys, i was just looking at this wesite called Lainey’s entertainment update and in the archives there is all kind of stuff about Jess doing coke. Who knows if it’s true, but experience dictates that where there is smoke, there is fire. I’m sooo dissapointed! The Jess from Season 1 was so cute and funny, and now she’s literally spoiled from fame. there are also sources on the site that state that the divorce was all Jessica and had nothing to do with poor Nick. That is just strategic manipulation of the media by pimp daddy Joe. I hope she is exposed once and for all! She has lost so many fans, including me! Team Lachey
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:58 am
I never believed that Jessica did cocaine like Paris Hilton’s (so-called)secret stolen cellular messages claimed… Or Whatever it was!!!!!!
I agree with you, swiss chick, Jessica was so naive and refreshingly unintelligent and Nick was patient and articulate in the beginning of Newlyweds - that’s what hooked us!!!! Later on she became a DIVA and a BRAT…. AND I do think that Nick did become very jealous and completely left out- BUT pimp daddy and Jessica ran the show and the marriage after that first year…..(my opinion)

Oooops…. I forgot!!!!

I just remembered Paris Hilton’s sidekicks were full of lies about Jessica and Ashlee!!!!! Why? I don’t remember BUT Paris is one nasty individual!!!!!
March 22nd, 2006 at 9:15 pm
I agree Princy. Oh, but the stuff I found on that website was not the stuff from Paris’ stolen side kick. There were other sources, witnesses, and outings that were cited! I don’t want to believe it, but I had some friends in college who tried coke ( I never did!!), and I watched their personality change right before my eyes. They thought it was glamourous and got totally caught up in that scene. After that stuff was leaked from the side kick, I started thinking that it all made sense. again, …i hope i’m wrong.

Jessica I am ur biggest fan…i love ur movies…ur clothes and best of all ur personality!!!!!
