Jessica Simpson

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.’ Born to a Baptist minister, who gave her a purity ring at the age of 12, she initially established an ‘anti-sex appeal’ image which put her in stark contrast to contemporary stars like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. However, unsatisfied with the four million worldwide sales of her debut album, ‘Columbia Records’ changed her image drastically for her next album ‘Irresistible’ which had her singing promiscuous songs and wearing provocative clothing. Her new image failed to impress both fans and critics. Following her marriage to Nick Lachey, her appearance in the MTV reality show ‘Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica’ and the release of her new album ‘In This Skin’ established her as a sex symbol. While the album eventually became her most successful work, her subsequent albums and movies failed commercially. Interestingly, she has been able to achieve success as a businesswoman, thanks to her clothing line and accessories collection.
