Jessica Simpson is an American singer, reality TV star, actress, and businesswoman. She achieved fame following the release of her debut studio album "Sweet Kisses."
Background
Jessica Simpson was born Jessica Ann Johnson on July 10, 1980, in Abilene, Texas, United Staes, to Baptist minister Joseph "Joe" Simpson and his wife Tina Ann. She has a younger sister named Ashlee Simpson who is also a singer-songwriter and actress.
Education
Jessica enrolled at J. J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas, where she became interested in theatre. However, she left school in her junior year to pursue music and later completed the GED test.
When she was a child, the family moved frequently due to the nature of her father’s job, eventually settling in Richardson, Texas. She sang in the Church choir, and discovered her passion for music. She then decided to become a singer when she was 11.
At the age of 12, Jessica Simpson successfully auditioned for "The Mickey Mouse Club" worldwide talent search, singing "Amazing Grace" and dancing to "Ice Ice Baby." She eventually became one of the six finalists, along with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake, but failed to perform well in the final audition due to nervousness. Fortunately, her second chance came within a few weeks when she was performing in the church choir. A guest speaker, who was about to start a gospel label, invited her for an audition, and signed her after listening to her rendering of Whitney Houston’s version of "I Will Always Love You."
For the next couple of years, she worked with Proclaim Records and recorded her debut album "Jessica," which remained unreleased as the record label went bankrupt. In 1994, her grandmother funded the release of a few copies of the album. These copies were sent to various record labels as a demo. Tommy Mottola, the head of Columbia Records, signed her in July 1997. Her style was in contrast to contemporary singers like Spears and Aguilera.
On September 28, 1999, she stormed into the music industry with her debut single "I Wanna Love You Forever" which peaked at No. 3 on the United States "Billboard Hot 100" chart. She released her debut studio album "Sweet Kisses" on November 23, 1999. Her then-boyfriend Nick Lachey featured in the single "I Think I'm in Love with You." The title track "Sweet Kisses" peaked at 25 on "Billboard 200."
Following the suggestion of her record label, she changed her image for her second album "Irresistible" which released in May 2001. The album debuted at No. 6 on "Billboard 200," but was less successful commercially, and its lead single was criticized for sexual themes. She released the track "Sweetest Sin" following her marriage to Lachey in 2002. When the single failed commercially, her father, who was also her manager, pitched a reality show starring the couple. Subsequently, "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" premiered on MTV on August 19, 2003. The reality show helped promote her third studio album "In This Skin" which peaked at No. 10 on "Billboard 200." She later re-released the album in March 2004 with a couple of cover songs, such as "Take My Breath Away" and "Angels" which boosted the sales of the album.
In 2004, she released "ReJoyce: The Christmas Album." She appeared with her husband on her sister’s reality TV series "The Ashlee Simpson Show" during 2004-2005. In 2005, she launched her clothing line "The Jessica Simpson Collection" which went on to become one of the most successful celebrity fashion brands.
She made her big-screen debut, playing Daisy Duke in the 2005 film "The Dukes of Hazzard" for which she also recorded the song "These Boots Are Made For Walkin." The song peaked at No.14 on "Billboard Hot 100," but the music video of the song was criticized for her revealing outfit.
She signed a new record deal with Epic Records in 2006 and released her fifth studio album "A Public Affair" which was the last of her albums to achieve moderate commercial success. She went on to release two more studio albums, "Do You Know" (2008) and "Happy Christmas" (2010), both of which were considered flops.
She also acted in a few movies during this time. These movies include "Employee of the Month" (2006), "Blonde Ambition" (2007), and "Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous" (2008). None of these movies succeeded at the box office. However, her 2010 VH1 documentary series "The Price of Beauty," which saw her traveling around the world and seeking different perceptions of beauty, was a success. In 2018, she was seen in a reality television series titled "Ashlee + Evan."
Jessica Simpson’s third studio album "In This Skin" has been her most successful work to date. It received triple platinum certification in the United States and has sold over seven million copies worldwide.
Three of Jessica Simpson’s songs have made it to the "Hot 100 Year-End Awards" list at Billboard Music Awards in 2000, 2001, and 2003. She has also won two People's Choice Awards, seven Teen Choice Awards, and a BMI Award.
She has been named in FHM magazine’s list of "100 sexiest women in the world." She has also been named in Maxim magazine’s "Hot 100" list. From 2004 to 2008, she featured in People magazine’s "50 Most Beautiful People" list.
Jessica Simpson was raised in a devoted Baptist family. Her father was very controlling of his daughter’s image when he was managing her in her early years. He wanted his daughter to have a "purer" image than other pop stars like Britney Spears or X-Tina. So, when Jessica released her second album in 2003, her record label gave her a more grown-up makeover that we’re sure didn’t sit well with her dad.
Politics
Jessica Simpson had endorsed George W. Bush during the elections for the United States President in 2004. She is a Republican.
Views
When she was 12-years old, Jessica was given a purity ring by her father and promised him to remain abstinent until marriage. The celebrity has since revealed that she did wait to do the deed until she married her first husband, Nick Lachey, in 2002. "My virginity is something I stand strong in," she told People of her decision in 2000. Jessica remained a virgin until her own marriage.
Quotations:
"I respect the knowledge of the psyche. I would be a therapist if I weren't an entertainer."
"Every tear should live its purpose. Don't ever wipe the reason away."
"I think there's a difference between ditzy and dumb. Dumb is just not knowing. Ditzy is having the courage to ask!"
Personality
Jessica's favorite food is sugary foods such as Kraft Mac & Cheese, Cap’n Crunch, Pop-Tarts, Oreo cookies, brownies.
Her favorite movie is Pretty Woman (1990).
One of Jessica's favorite things is spending quality time in the kitchen with her children. She loves cooking.
