Jessica’s Low Point
Who hasn’t heard of Jessica Simpson’s short-lived romance with crooner John Mayer? Well if you have been living under a rock here is a recap: US Weekly went public with the romance and plastered it all over the cover of one of their weekly issues. Not a day later he was publicly denying the tryst and made Jess look like a fool. Mayer’s pals claimed he couldn’t handle her high profile life.
Soon after she lost her voice and had to cancel a couple of appearances and then to make matters worse her album sold a dismal 101,000 copies in the first week, way less than expected. When a healed Jessica appeared on the View it was her turn to publicly deny the rumors and that she did. Days later she fired her publicist, Rob Shuter, she wasn’t impressed with his work anymore. On September 11, she was a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and praised ex husband Nick Lachey. Also, the rumors that her sister Ashlee Simpson is battling an eating disorder and is supposedly obsessed with plastic surgery has to of taken its toll.
But has all this drama finally caught up with the squeaky clean pop princess? It was reported that her family was seen walking on egg shells because she is not in a mentally good state. But there is some hope lingering in the horizon…her movie, Employee Of The Month, is opening soon and she just kicked off her own line of hair extension with her hair stylist Ken Paves. So maybe that will be a little pick me up for the star.
