Jessica Simpson Overthrows Sarah Palin
Jessica Simpson apparently sells more magazines that Sarah Palin.
With her ample cleavage and lots of skin, Jess managed to sell more copies of Vanity Fair, than the recently-resigned ex-governor of Alaska. What’s the proof, you ask? Well, the magazine recently crunched out a few numbers, provided by MediaMemo of Peter Kafka.
I think this just proves that Hollywood and pop culture would beat out politics anytime. But to be fair, I do think that in her own way, Sarah Palin has become a pop culture icon too. I mean, would she be mentioned in Eminem’s We Made You rap and video, if she weren’t? Anyway, another proof of that is that Michael Jackson’s death has more media coverage than her resignation as governor. And the reaction to the King of Pop’s untimely death is overwhelming, while reactions to her unprecedented move ranged from outrageous to “Is she crazy?!” Oh well.
Anyway, Jessica’s recent stint in Vanity Fair has sold lots of copies, while Miley Cyrus’s nearly-topless pictures got the magazine’s site 18 million visits in just two days. Jessica’s cover and page story gained the mag’s web site with 5.5 million page views over a range of two days. Ex-governor Palin’s announcement however, only attracted under two million page views since Friday, the date of her announcement, to today.
I think one more factor why Jess attracted that many online surfers was the curiosity they must have been feeling. They wanted to see for themselves if she was still as fat as they make her out to be, or prove to themselves that the media was just over-hyping the issue. But anyway, this certainly gave Jess the publicity that she needed to get back in the popularity race. Right?
Anyway, here are more photos of Jess from the mag.
