Apr 10 2006Jessica Simpson hates her own clothes, gets sued

The Tarrant Apparel Group is suing Jessica Simpson for $100 million for failing to promote their clothes after signing a multimillion three-year licensing deal in December 2004 to launch a line of low-priced jeans and clothing. Under the terms she was supposed to be actively involved in promoting and wearing the JS by Jessica Simpson and Princy lines at public events, but failed to do so, even refusing to be photographed wearing the clothes.
Additionally, when she was asked to name her favorite brand of jeans at an event last year she answered "True Religion" rather than "Princy." Which makes sense, because True Religion jeans can cost up to $350 and Princy jeans about $60. And this awesome pair of K-Mart jeans I've got on? $9.95 baby. Plus tax.

what a complete waste of oxygen....
oh, by the way, FIRST POST :) i'm not a virgin any more!
3. cms1234 - April 10, 2006 3:40 PM
why is she famous? and how did she get her own clothing line anyway?
4. Italian Stallion - April 10, 2006 3:41 PM
your still a virgin.......lol
What a complete waste of a post.....
Oh by the way, your second Virgin.....
5. Pikachelsea - April 10, 2006 3:42 PM
lol, hilarious.
And do these glasses have their own zip code or what?
Anyway, I do have Jessica Simpson boots. They're cute. I don't know anything about her jeans but I think it's frickin' great that she won't even wear them.
6. Italian Stallion - April 10, 2006 3:42 PM
When did she start dating Richard Chueng from "BLOW"......
7. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 10, 2006 3:43 PM
Here's a better way to draw us in with your headlines: "Jessica Simpson refuses to wear pants, low-priced offers declined".
Or how about: "Jessica Simpson has Gigantic Hooters". That one's on me, Mr. Editor.
8. gsprescueguy - April 10, 2006 3:43 PM
The last set of lips I saw like that had a hook in them.
She's even too dumb to wear a pair of jeans.
9. LoneWolf - April 10, 2006 3:44 PM
No, no, you've got it all wrong. She's just not promoting her jeans until she's built up the workforce to handle the production necessary to support the increase in sales that would happen if she *did* promote her jeans. That's why she's adopting a kid - gotta start that sweatshop somewhere.
PS, when did David Spade start hanging around with her?
10. NewGuy - April 10, 2006 3:50 PM
We are dating. This is all a big lie. This website is fake and so is my computer. Fakers.
faaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh q.
11. cms1234 - April 10, 2006 3:51 PM
virgin post...she's such a narcissistic hypocritic Angelina wanna-be talentless waste of oxygen dwarf. she donates "anonymously" to an orphanage in Mexico and wants to adopt a baby! somebody sign her up for the Peace Corp. do they sell TRue Religion in Mexico?
12. Zanna - April 10, 2006 3:51 PM
Even she is getting sick of herself. And what's with the Jackie-O-esque look? She can't pull it off.
13. night - April 10, 2006 3:54 PM
She's a loser!!
14. Meghann - April 10, 2006 3:55 PM
Wow her hair stylist is looking rather gaunt. Losing weight for the spotlight, no doubt. Who does he think he is, Chris McMillan?
15. CheekyChops - April 10, 2006 3:55 PM
Chestica is the opposite of Midas. Everything she touches turns to shit.
16. CheekyChops - April 10, 2006 3:57 PM
and btw, why the hell does that hideous looking hairdresser have to be seen with her all the time? If my hair looked like Shirley Temple's on the Good Ship Lollipop, I'd have to decapitate myself.
17. biatcho - April 10, 2006 4:02 PM
someone seriously needs to bitch-slap this wench and make her realize she's going down & is going to need every penny she has. The lifestyle won't last too long for this one & she's going to end up needing those shitty jeans to pile her fat ass into once gravity takes a hold of the tits & ass!
18. xogirly84 - April 10, 2006 4:03 PM
maybe she said she likes true religion jeans because they have the word relgion in them. we all know how religious she claims to be....
19. NewGuy - April 10, 2006 4:05 PM
You're all just jealous of me. I'm used to it and so is Jess. Now excuse me, Ashley and I are going to go bang in her parents bed before Jessica gets back from her photoshoot.
I fart in your general direction.
20. tits_on_snack - April 10, 2006 4:05 PM
I want to smash every pair of stupid over-sized fad sunglasses I see, and the faces that are holding them up.
21. reptilicus - April 10, 2006 4:06 PM
This is terrible news.
Now she won't have enough money to give to Nick to keep himself in hair gel.
:(
22. cms1234 - April 10, 2006 4:07 PM
lol #18. she probably thought she was so smart when she put 2 and 2 together. she is quite the prolific one
23. downshine - April 10, 2006 4:12 PM
#20, i love my oversized sunglasses. they're the sex.
24. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 10, 2006 4:19 PM
#23 - I can't help myself:"their the sex." Uh oh, this must be the new thing the 8th graders are saying this year. At least we know their paying attention in Grammar Class.
Yes, I find ripping on 8th graders to be an awesomely good time.
25. MizScarlett - April 10, 2006 4:19 PM
Unless she starts frontin' for Hefty Body Bags, enough with this shit already.
26. Danielabella - April 10, 2006 4:24 PM
She's religous? When did she decide that? Before or after she signed on for the Baywatch movie?
27. PapaHotNuts - April 10, 2006 4:28 PM
I will pay her twice that amount to promote a new company called "Celebrity Muzzles".
28. jennyjenjen - April 10, 2006 4:31 PM
I hate her nasty colligen lips, now they have that massive ridge of skin behind her overly filled lips, her plastic surgeon sucks!
29. Nimuë LaMer - April 10, 2006 4:31 PM
What do you want to bet that Nick Lachey is a major stockholder in The Tarrant Apparel Group?
30. Static - April 10, 2006 4:34 PM
#24: What the hell are you talking about, bad grammar?
Her friend looks pretty creepy. I hope they both fall down some stairs.
31. TaiTai - April 10, 2006 4:40 PM
#24 I don't get it, their the sex. #23 actually had it right with they're. And aren't you glad to get all the new fashionable catch phrases right from the source?
Oh and Jessica Simpson totally looks like Nicole Richie in that photo and we all know that is certainly what every young woman should aspire to.
32. PostmanR - April 10, 2006 4:45 PM
mr. lachey is winning the post-breakup public opinion war for sure - with all those babes he's been spotted with.
33. Static - April 10, 2006 4:47 PM
I have to disagree, #32. Nick Lachey is a douchebag. Not that Jessica isn't, but..
She actually worked for her money.
Sort of.
This article proves it!
... Right?
34. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 10, 2006 4:48 PM
I'm going to shut up, now...
35. sirokai - April 10, 2006 4:48 PM
The folks at Tarrant must not have attended business school. If so, they would have learned never to do business with a fool.
36. xogirly84 - April 10, 2006 4:48 PM
ok, quick grammar lesson #24. "they're" = they are. it's called a contraction. learn it. "their" = possesive pronoun. i commend you for trying to fix the 8th graders' grammar problems, but maybe, just maybe, next time you should know what the fuck you are talking about.
"at least we know their paying attention in Grammar Class" : oh boy. i'm embarrassed for you.
37. biatcho - April 10, 2006 4:50 PM
somebody won the 5th grade spelling bee & is damn proud of it. holy christ!
38. Static - April 10, 2006 4:52 PM
Good idea, Oshkosh.
By the way, "I'm going to shut up now.." doesn't need a comma.
You're a terrible person. :D
39. carrie bradshaw - April 10, 2006 4:54 PM
What's sad is that people will buy her clothing line only because her name is on it, regardless if she wears it or not. And she won't actually wear those clothes - c'mon, do we think the Olsen twins trot out every day in their Walmart brand? No. The only celebrity who seems to actually wear her clothing line is Gwen S with L.A.M.B. Maybe sometimes Kimora Lee with Baby Phat too, but for the most part, I don't believe that celebrities actually use the lines they promote, whether it be hair, makeup, clothing, soft drinks, etc. It's only to slap a recognizable name on a product in the hopes that it will bring in consumers. Jessica is no exception.
40. xogirly84 - April 10, 2006 4:57 PM
#33, you're right. Nick is a douchebag. But to claim that Jessica Simpson "worked" for her money is complete bullshit. It doesn't take much "work" to have your life taped and say stupid shit like "Is this chicken?" or "Do buffalo have wings?". Oy vey, this girl gets so much more credit than she deserves.
Oh, and Tom Cruise still loves the cock. Peace out.
41. sometimesboy - April 10, 2006 4:57 PM
um, yeah...and you people really think paris ate that hardee's monster burger in that add last year, didn't ya...
in all fairness...jessica only lent her name to the cheapy jean line in order to give the mexican orphans a job...it was that or adopt them all, which, turns out would've been a logistics nightmare...plus, opening an 'orphanage' is much more p.c. then owning a sweatshop...
42. Static - April 10, 2006 4:58 PM
#40, it was sarcasm.
:(
43. Kaye - April 10, 2006 5:01 PM
"When she was asked to name her favorite brand of jeans at an event last year she answered 'True Religion' rather than 'Princy.'"
She probably just forgot to answer "Princy" as she is a moron. When she signed the license, she thought somebody was giving her millions of dollars for being a celebrity... which doesn't make sense even to my dog.
44. MeganHarris - April 10, 2006 5:01 PM
This is REALLY bad press. I wonder how they are going to sugar coat this.
Why can't she just wear the stupid Jessica jeans? It's not like she's going to look TERRIBLE in them..
little girls everywhere are let down.
45. Tha-Flash - April 10, 2006 5:02 PM
Good on her!
46. biggutonenut - April 10, 2006 5:26 PM
This is a CRISIS!
Nick Lachey is blowing up that cell phone with all sorts of questions..brother is smart enough to know that $100 Million is gonna make his marriage to Jessica practically worthless (except for her being a hot but dimwitted virgin and all).
Someone send Nick some valium pronto. Fight on playa. I feel ya pain.
47. Spindoc - April 10, 2006 5:44 PM
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep, if I should die before I wake, I pray the lord........
That Nick gets half her money in the divorce, then after that she loses the lawsuit against the jeans company and has to resort to being on "The Surreal Life" just to pay the back due bills on her acne treatment.
48. Jacq - April 10, 2006 5:45 PM
Their biggest mistake was not signing Joe Simpson to promote the clothes. He can probably go on for days about how nice Jessica's ass looks. Joe probably also thinks that her clothes look better on the floor, if you know what I mean...
P.S. I love you oshkosh. You're fiesty! No, wait, YOUR feisty. That's more like it.
49. BigJim - April 10, 2006 5:51 PM
Hey, that guy right beside her is Kurt Cobain. He's not dead! He's just hanging out with no talent, brainless, shallow fuckwits.
50. whackjob - April 10, 2006 5:54 PM
Your all loosers and woudnt no grammer or puntuation if it bit you on the ass. Oh, and NewGuy sez fake to. WTF is he on????
Obviously oversized glasses are VERY cool. And it is nice to see Kato is back in circulation.
By the way, didn't know if you'd heard: Tom Cruise still loves the cock.
51. Erienne - April 10, 2006 5:55 PM
Wow. There must not be a lot to say about this thread because people are being asshats about grammar.
52. NewGuy - April 10, 2006 6:05 PM
Grammar is FAKE!!! My fingers are fake. My IPOD is fake.
The matrix has you... and Jessica... in my closet... naked.
(my closet is fake)
The matrix might be fake. You are 100% fake. I think, therefore I am... fake.
53. Spindoc - April 10, 2006 6:05 PM
That isn't Jessica Simpson.....its Tom Cruise all dolled up for a night out in West Hollywood with pals Alexis Arquette and Rupert Everette. Tom doesn't have a boyfriend because one man isn't enough to satisfy his craving for.......the cock.
54. biatcho - April 10, 2006 6:09 PM
Yeah the grammer police are going to string up #45 by the genitals for writing "Good on her" instead of "good for her".
Unless you are an American citizen who was properly taught language arts in elementary school you can no longer post on here. It's part of a very serious immigration reform act.
New Guy - get a life. You're boring! Move it...
55. NewGuy - April 10, 2006 6:24 PM

MOST EXCITING COMMENT EVVVVVVER!!! THANKS BIATCHO!!! YOU RULE!!!
(I'm faking)
56. biatcho - April 10, 2006 6:30 PM
Oh my god New Guy! How did you know that I was, like, totally one of the kids in your biology class that gets really offended by,like, reverse psychology-comedic-insult tactics from complete strangers? You win my friend, touche!
57. NewGuy - April 10, 2006 6:37 PM
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE NEW, BEST COMMENT EVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVER!!!
(fake)
58. Fawlty - April 10, 2006 6:42 PM
Wow, Jessica Simpson giving the wrong answer to a simple question! That surely is news.
59. biatcho - April 10, 2006 6:50 PM
Not only smart & biting... but a dry witted sense of humor to boot! I love it!!
(and I don't need to be a tool who has to point out the fact that I am being sarcastic all the time. Or should I say "facetious" since you probably just learned that when you took your SAT's).
I am gonna stay late at work tonight just so I can keep this up. My first day on here & I am arguing with some kid who still has posters of baseball players & Pamela Anderson on the same bedroom wall! I am not a fucking loser at all!!!
60. Italian Stallion - April 10, 2006 6:54 PM
I heard NewGuy and Tom Cruise got caught in a hotel room with a bottle of KY Touch Massage.......
61. Italian Stallion - April 10, 2006 6:57 PM
P.S They say it warms with touch....lol
62. HollyJ - April 10, 2006 7:00 PM
Is that Martina Navratilova standing beside her?
63. PapaHotNuts - April 10, 2006 7:21 PM
The best part of the interview happened a few minutes later when the Tarrant Apparel group asked:
TAP: Jess, what's your favorite brand of alcohol?
JS: Mexico, I think. No, wait, it's chocolate.
TAP: Jess, what's your favorite sport?
JS: Lemons, or maybe a rainbow.
TAP: Ms. Simpson, how do you feel about the war in Iraq?
JS: Well, I prefer the taste of Windex, but Everybody Loves Raymond was my favorite song.
TAP: And finally, what's your prediction for the World Series this year?
JS: Oh, I just know that the Soprano's will win, or maybe a bird.

65. YankeeRedNeck40 - April 10, 2006 7:31 PM
has she always had that cleft chin or did Papa Joe's pointy head connect as he was coming up?
66. TaiTai - April 10, 2006 7:44 PM
I'm so disappointed in Tom Petty for hanging out with that no-talent Jessica Simpson, trying to revive his career.
67. MaryBackstayge - April 10, 2006 8:19 PM
Yes, YankeeRedNeck, she's always had that cleft. She's always been Ricky Martin. Am I the only one who sees that? She's totally Ricky Martin. With tits. Or is the other way around? I'm confused. Hold me!
68. Wild Rose - April 10, 2006 8:22 PM
eXtasyStef--that is a funny website--Bookmark worthy!
69. mamacita - April 10, 2006 8:29 PM
@64
That's pretty funny, but in OshKosh's defense, she almost always has something hilarious to say. Additionally, I'm funny (well, I think I am, even if no one else does) and I correct grammar sometimes. Bad grammar and misspellings are a pet peeve of mine.
Also, she did say "I'm going to shut up now" which indicates that she realized she was mistaken. So, for everybody being mean to OshKosh, geez, give it a rest. She's one of the most funny people on here usually. Plus, she's my homey cause she lives in Louisiana. Not that anyone else cares about that, but dammit, I do.
70. Pez_D_Spencer - April 10, 2006 9:03 PM
Nice to see Jan Michael Vincent in public again, huh?
My guess is she doesn't wear pants because "pants come in PAIRS and there's only ONE of me."
71. PapaHotNuts - April 10, 2006 9:06 PM
# 69 mamacita and # 64 Oshkosh- I'm Baton Rouge born and raised, so I know there are at least 2 other people in the state that can read.
72. Trotter - April 10, 2006 9:29 PM
Jess: Are those jeans or pants?
Tarrant: Well, they're both. They're pants which are jeans.
Jess: Huh?
Tarrant: You just have to wear them to go shopping and mention them whenever you can. This is called, promotion.
Jess: Promotion? Like, when I graduated from grade school and went to Junior High?
Tarrant: No, its like when you tried to sell your pseudo-Christian albums with your teenage breast implants.
Jess: But I never ended up selling any records.
Tarrant: Right... We meant to say its like when your Daddy sold your soul and body to get all rich and everything.
Jess: He said it was an artistic photoshoot!
73. mamacita - April 10, 2006 9:46 PM
@71
Actually, I was born and raised, and yes, still live in..........wait for it.........................Mississippi. Even more surprising, no? Anyhoo, proximity makes us brethren, even if I don't live in Louisiana. However, my mom is a nurse at Our Lady of the Lake in your neck of the woods. Ever been to The Melting Pot? That place is the shizzzzz!!!
74. Mr. Fritz - April 10, 2006 9:49 PM
#49, that was funny! However, I think he looks like an anorexic Kato Kaelin. What the hell happened to that dude? He looked like he enjoyed the Mary Jane.
75. gogoboots - April 10, 2006 10:28 PM
I'm over her not loving her K-mart brand jeans, like that's a fuckin' surprise. I'm more irritated at her stupid glasses though, those things GOT TO GO!
76. gogoboots - April 10, 2006 10:35 PM
#72 You get my vote for best comment on Superficial....HAHAHAHA!
77. chi-dinosaur - April 10, 2006 10:49 PM
That guy next to her....he's a wee bit scary looking, no?
78. MsPickle - April 10, 2006 11:49 PM
My favorite is # 63 with # 72 a close second. Either way, both of them are funny as hell. Too many people ride the Papahotnuts train, but fuck it, he's hilarious.
79. Trotter - April 10, 2006 11:52 PM
Gogoboots - was it my wit or just the references to Jess' satanic-child-smut-pandering-incestuous-pedophilic dad?
80. breakitdown - April 11, 2006 12:29 AM
HAHA.. why wud you sue someone for that amount for not wearing some scepecific clothing... i wudnt wear or promote princy jeans purily because of its feral name
81. saltpeanuts - April 11, 2006 12:35 AM
She is looking more and more like Stepford Wives model #3 everyday. I'm starting to think that Nick got the best of this deal.
82. gogoboots - April 11, 2006 1:31 AM
Totter I think it was the artistic photoshoot part at the end that made my nite, thanks!
83. gogoboots - April 11, 2006 1:32 AM
In fact fuck it...I just love thinking about the brainless shit that comes out of her mouth, ever awaiting the word of Jessica!
84. BarryBonds - April 11, 2006 3:19 AM
She's like a real life blow up doll...well actually a blow up doll is probably still smarter, but Id still rather fuck Jessica.
85. Pikachelsea - April 11, 2006 3:59 AM
#26 - Quiet, you! It's all good, because she says "OH MY GAAAHHHHH!!!" Because I'm sure God will be fooled by a technicality like that.
"Oh Jessica, you clever girl -- got me again!"
86. HughJorganthethird - April 11, 2006 7:18 AM
I wonder if she will write about this traumatic experience on her online "journal".
87. SweeterSweeterBoyfriendStealer! - April 11, 2006 8:16 AM
oh my goodness, #1--you totally took the words RIGHT out of my mouth!!!! #40, i totally agree with you "oy vey" is RIGHT!!! i cant believe she wouldnt even wear HER clothes that SHE designed....well actually thats no surprise, shes is such a label whore!!!! oh yes, and #19, that was funny!!!! actually EVERYONE'S comments about jessicas suit are making me laugh so hard! and, not to sound like a broken record, but #72--- good one!!! and #48, you DEF hit the nail on the head!!!!

# 54:
"Good on her" is perfectly correct Australian English. So Shush, person from a former colony where people truly believe that 'entree' ('entry, starter') means 'main course' and that their chosen form of government is called 'democracy'.
WAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH.
LMFHO
90. mamacita - April 11, 2006 9:46 AM
@87 and 88
OK, I'm reallllly not trying to be mean, but here's a little well intended advice.
1) Please refrain from using further instances of the phrase "guys and babes"
2) If you admittedly "really cant spell", please try http://dictionary.reference.com/
Please and thank you.
91. suzy - April 11, 2006 11:23 AM
i love Jessica but she just got her way out of getting free jeans!!
ugh!
92. Libraesque - April 11, 2006 11:47 AM
Is it just me.....or does she look exactly like Nicole Ritchie (if she'd just lose those last stubborn 65 lbs)

Also, look up backward, feeble minded and incest; real pretty pictures of Jess right there.
95. zeds_deadbaby - April 11, 2006 10:33 PM
Nice glasses, idiot. Too much GtF ratio; glasses to face ratio. Not sure how tinting protects YOUR LIPS from UV rays, but WEAR SOME REGULAR GLASSES, christ.
96. SweeterSweeterBoyfriendStealer! - April 14, 2006 11:27 AM
Mamcita, im always complimenting you on things you say on this blog site. many cant spell,llike, on this post as well, and im just admitting it. so fuckin sorry i offended you with the "i cant spell" phrase.
