She was once America’s sweetheart, hawking boxed perfume gift sets and buffalo wings to the masses; now we find her wearing mom jeans and back fat, belting out her country tunes at a local chili fest.  Jess was the featured act this weekend at 99.9 Kiss Country 24th Annual Chili Cook-Off.

It’s time for a comeback.  And a Pilates class.

I’m adopting a new rule with my friends.  Don’t even talk to me if there isn’t an atomizer/dusting powder gift set with your name on it at my local Macy’s.  You are nothing without your own fragrance line. 

And I am aware I’m fixating at this point but this is my puppy cam.  Knowing that Fancy (Jessica Simpson’s newest), is supposed to be representative of things she likes, what do you think it smells like?  I’m thinking hot dogs with half-notes of barbecue.

I’m just going to copy-paste OK! magazine’s article here, because I don’t think I could sum it up any better myself:

Oh, how the mighty have apparently fallen!

From stadiums to bingo halls, Jessica Simpson’s performance venues have apparently slid towards the less-than-glamorous: Bingo regulars at the 2,500-capacity San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino in Highland, Calif., had to go elsewhere for their game on Nov. 13 when she performed there.

The hall’s florescent lighting, dirty carpet and fried-food odor is a far cry from the venues J-Simp played back when her album In This Skin sold 7 million copies.

“Jessica’s dressing room at the bingo hall was a little larger than a broom closet,” an insider tells OK!.

“There’s an iron, but no ironing board. There’s not even a fridge!”

I like how this article acts like the real victims here are the poor old folks whose Bingo game was displaced so that some washed-up floozy could do her singin’ and dancin’ act. There is no justice in this world!

This is a freaking ADORABLE story about Jessica Simpson’s man:

A homeless man who goes by Doc was cashing in change at a Cinemark Theatre in Dallas when a guy walked up and offered to pay his way into the movie. He planned to spend his day passing out fliers and accepted a rain check before realizing that he recognized the generous gentleman.

“Was that Tony Romo?” Doc asked the worker behind the counter.

It sure was. Doc, who requested that his real name not be used, hustled across the street to the consignment store that paid him to occasionally pass out fliers and requested the day off. By the time he got back to the theater, Role Model had already started.

Romo, who confirmed the story but didn’t want to elaborate, waved Doc over to sit by him and his friend. Doc sheepishly mentioned that he hadn’t showered in a few days.

“Don’t worry about that,” Romo said. “I’m used to locker rooms.”

And so the $67 million quarterback and a man who doesn’t have $6.70 to his name sat next to each other and shared laughs for 90 minutes or so.

For Romo – who made news by changing a couple’s tire on a roadside on the way home the night of the season opener – it was just another kind gesture to a random stranger. It meant the world to Doc.

“For me, it was a blessing,” Doc said. “It came at just the right time. It gave me some encouragement and faith in mankind. I just wanted to say thank you.”

What a cutie!!!

Is it possible that Jessica Simpson’s actually managed to snag herself a downright decent dude?

There’s only one problem with this: we’re supposed to be BOYCOTTING Cinemark, dammit! What would Ken Paves think?

People should be protesting this outfit no matter what.

Jessica looks like hell these days.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha!

What ever happened to Jessica Simpson’s comedy, “Major Movie Star”?

The “Private Benjamin” – like film has never opened here in the United States. But on October 9th, “Major Movie Star” debuted to top box office in… Russia.

Next up for a movie described by one of its participants as “maybe one of the worst films ever made”: a November premiere in Bulgaria.

So far there’s no U.S. release date set. Nor is there one for any other country in which English is the primary language.

OMG.

What was its competition in Russia? Watching the bread lines?

Jessica Simpson attended the launch of her perfume Fancy at Dillard’s in Dallas Texas today.  She was looking quite robusty.  Shush…it’s a word in my world.
