Simpson Watch

Ashlee Simpson has come a long way since being a style wallflower in the shadow of older sister Jessica. “I used to look at a beautiful girl on the cover of a magazine and think I could never be that,” the 23-year-old singer tells Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

But Simpson – who has churned through countless haircuts and colors over her six years of stardom – has graced recent covers of Cosmopolitan, CosmoGirl! and Seventeen. Now she’s the cover girl on Us’ 2008 Beauty Makeover Special issue, which includes 30 pages of bonus makeovers, tips, and star style.

“I definitely embrace my sexy side, but at the end of the day, I still feel like the girl next door,” she tells Us. “I like to get dressed up now, and that’s something I’ve never been into before.” Simpson also opens up to Us about her April 2006 rhinoplasty. “I think as long as people have two eyes, then you probably know the answer,” she says.

“[Plastic surgery] is something that everybody should think about for a really long time,” she tells Us. “Once you know it’s something you really feel comfortable with, then to each their own.” Still, the singer downplays her own transformation. “I was never really unhappy with how I looked, [and] I don’t think I am more beautiful than I was [before],” Simpson tells Us. “I just see the same old goofy girl I see every day.”

This past weekend held a busy Saturday for Jessica Simpson, as the With You singer ended the day aboard a flight headed to the Middle East.

Jess began the day by attending an autograph session at Dillard’s Stonebriar Center (in Frisco, Texas - just northeast of Dallas - I wish I could have stopped by!) to promote her latest designs in her new fashion line. Her pup, Daisy, stayed by her side throughout the appearance. (more…)

Earlier this month, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo were hiding out in Hawaii. This wasn’t just a “for fun” vacation, though – the couple were there together while Tony was playing for the NFC team in the Pro Bowl.

They look cute together, and that’s all I have to say. This is one of the few pictures of Tony Romo where I actually think he looks attractive. But that’s just me. (more…)

Last Thursday, Jessica Simpson was a guest on The View. Below are some clips from that show, featuring Jessica discussing her clothing line:

Jessica Simpson was at Macy’s today, signing autographs and trying not to fall out of her dress. (more…)

Ashlee Simpson recently did a photo shoot — not for a magazine, but for her upcoming album — and WOW! These photos turned out incredible. I’ve put them in order, from my favorite to my least favorite, though I have to admit that even my least favorite is pretty good.

I’m not sure how much these were photo-shopped, but I’d love to see the “before” shots to compare them. Photoshop is a lifesaver for that kind of thing.

My favorite photo is the one posted above – I love the warm, golden tones of Ashlee’s skin and hair, the metallic texture of the background and the stark black polo. Ashlee skin looks flawless in this photo! LOVE! (more…)

Now that Jessica has finished filming “Major Movie Star”, she’s got more time for the important things in life. Well, important to her, anyway.

She’s been seen lunching with her sister, showing off her Valentino bag and (lest your forget her origins) singing! I can’t confirm the rumor, but I hear that she’s working on a country album. With Willie Nelson. In Nashville. (more…)

Britney Spears’ backstage drama Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards included her insistence that she wanted to have brown hair. But well-placed sources confide that she was overruled by her management team and she wore extensions from Jessica Simpson’s Hair-u-Wear line. (more…)

Jessica Simpson attended Fall Fashion Week, and I don’t know about the rest of her attire, but I think this is kind of futuristic looking. Sexy and futuristic. Like an alien siren. Is there such a thing? (more…)

Ashlee Simpson attended the Just Cavalli Flagship Launch Party last week, and looked foxy while there. I’ll tell you - this girl cleans up well. Everything about her ensemble - shoes, dress, jewelry, makeup - looks perfect. It also makes me think that she must not have dressed herself. If that were the case, she might have just worn skinny jeans and a black shirt. (more…)

Ashlee Simpson rocked the 2007 VMAs in an ultra-short dress that showed off her ballerina-esque legs. I think she looked cute, but her skin was a little pale. Kind of ghostly. And paired with that dark eyeliner, she actually looked goth. But maybe that’s the look she was going for. (more…)

Ashlee Simpson joined her big sister, Jessica, in New York City for Fashion Week. Jess is nowhere to be found in these photos, but Ashlee and her mom, Tina, look like they’re having a ball at BCBG Max Azria’s show. And who’s that sitting next to Ashlee and Tina? Why, none other than Ciara! Looks like Max Azria pulled out the big guns. (more…)

Jessica Simpson and here sweet little Maltipoo, Daisy, arrived at the airport in New York yesterday for fashion week. I think Daisy looks kind of sad, all smushed in her carrier like that, but Jessica? Jessica is hot. I love that simple black dress and those awesome green earrings.

The way Jessica Simpson has been on the cover of magazine after magazine after magazine (wait, there’s more), it’s almost like she’s promoting herself or something. Like she has a movie coming out sometime soon. Like…oh, wait. She does. And here she is on the cover of yet another mag. It’s a publication I’ve never heard of, but whatever. I’m sure someone, somewhere, does read it. (more…)

InStyle magazine’s September issue (with Gwen Stefani as covergirl) has some gor-jess ads to boast this year.

Jessica Simpson’s newest clothing collection is out, and Jess modeled a few for the ads. I’m sure the clothes and the collection are fine, whatever (except the skinny pants - those should be outlawed), but what I can’t get over are these photos! Jessica Simpson looks SO BEAUTIFUL and timeless.

Read on for more pics.
