Yes having her on the cover has people talking. Well at least on this blog because I don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned anywhere else. Doesn’t mean she can sell a magazine especially when she can’t even sell a cd.

I’m as big a Jessica Simpson fan as any straight guy could be and I gotta say the pictures just reminded me of how tired I am right now……

I totally agree about the graphic layout for the cover & thought the photo was a poor choice– until I saw the other photos. The cover photo is genius compared to those other shots. She’s a very pretty girl, but she CAN NOT model for a photo. There is absolutely nothing coming through that lens. I’m surprised the photographer & VF would even settle for this. It’s a sad choice for her in this industry: she doesn’t know how to sing, can’t pick movies (maybe she can act–I haven’t watched her movies), she’s photogenic but can’t BRING IT… She’s needs to quit the industry & find something else that motivates & inspires her. It’s a waste for everybody. I remember seeing her sing, early on before she “hit?”, live on the Latin Grammys (???) & it was PAINFUL. Way off pitch, screaming like she was some MariahCarey. In retrospect I wonder, “Who did Daddy blow to get her on that show?” Good looks can open a lot of doors. After that it’s up to you, Miss Jess.

Wow…people are sooo bitter. I myself like Jessica Simpson as a person. She is funny in interviews I see and very kind it seems. I have seen two straight to dvd movies of hers and to be honest I laughed more at those two movies than any other big screen comedy hit in years, check out Major Movie Star DVD or Blonde Ambition, she was fantastic in both of those movies. As for the VF cover she as always looks amazing! Stop hating people. I must say this website is getting as catty and immature as perez hiltons followers. Grown up and show some class people.

Jessica looks fantastic. She’s a beautiful and talented young lady, and I enjoy seeing and hearing her. People who criticize her…………jealous???? Childish???

I like the cover a lot. Jessica might not be the right choice for a VF spread (article & Q/A), but she looks beautiful. Love the colors-fresh and clean.
She is one of the most physically beautiful women of her generation. I am always in awe by her looks.

Mr. Averjen; I agree 100%
I think it really stand out amongst the other mags w/ rhe airbrushed hair flying everywhere looks. VF is running a business that needs to sell mags, they acheived that by putting such a polarizing subject on the cover and this picture that grabs your eye w/ the sharp contrasts of color. Well played VF.

I think she’s inherently likable and most people want to her succeed. A friend who served in Afghanistan said she flew over there and gave a knock-out performance. I like her just for doing that.

(The two pictures of her in the black dress though are the worst.)

Personally, I don’t mind the cover shot..And is it just me, or does she look like a white version of Eva Mendes in the close up face shot? I’m not a fan or anything, but I don’t mind the girl..

I love the pictures! I wish more people would support Jessica Simpson! She is very talented, incredibly down to earth, and gorgeous!!!

Like it or not, this cover works, here’s why—It looks nothing like the same old celebrity cover we see each and every month. It stands out. All the news outlets today (including this one) are talking about this interveiw and this cover. Don’t believe me? Go to USA today, the British SUN, even friggin’ Foxnews. And I think on this cover (which was purposely retro styled) she looks a little like Grace Kelly or Ursula Andress which is not a bad thing. And inside she reminds me of Raquel Welch. Could the photos be a little better—sure, but I think these present her in a much more interesting way then another Daisy Duke or Maxim styled photo shoot—which I’ve seen enough of—unless they’re going to start putting men on the cover that way. :)

Why is she famous? What in the world has she done that is worth anything? Blah.

Blair where is this press attention? Last I heard about her was the end of football season.

I’m sorry but those photos are pretty horrific. That last photograph looks likes he is experiencing a horrible cramp or gas pain. If those were the best they had I can only imagine what made the cutting room floor.

Lisa I would rather see Lindsay on covers because she is at least contributing to the gossip sites with her daily antics. Jessica *yawn*

Heather , she “used” to have a great voice, somewhere between her first album and now she started singing in a new incredibly horrible style ( go listen to her and lachey sing ” baby it’s cold outside” and dare your ears not to bleed buckets). In all seriousness, Jessica’s dad is alot like matthew knowles , he is able to throw his weight around hollywood and chances are he got her this cover, Vanity fair is kind of stupid, they are always trying to be vogue and falling short. They don’t have the magnitude, clout or substance they once had, they are getting desperate in today’s market and it’s made more obvious by this interview and cover choice( a few years ago Jessica was even voted by another popular blogger on his show as the most irrelevant celeb and she still would be if she hadn’t found the fortune of dating Tony, trust me that was also arranged by her father to save her although Im sure the relationship is real, ). Almost everything you see her do is orchestrated by her father, even her divorce from nick, her father has to have the control and he gets his way, he makes sure of that, especially with Jessica, Jessica really is a Simpleton, and not as smart as her sister so it’s easy for her life to be this way. Remember on newlyweds when they said she’d never done anything for herself, she was already like 25 at the time, what does that tell you about her, she wasn’t just catered to, she is as stupid as John Mayer said she was. That’s not me being mean or a hater, it’s just something that is KNOWN about her in hollywood. She’s obviously harmless, what’s really the most sad is that she’s not even a dumb nice girl, she’s actually a spoiled brat, so really all she has is her beauty and she lucks out and finds men that want to protect and teach her. Saying Jessica is stupid is the same as saying MJ had plastic surgery.

Im not hating on her, she has a decent career, makes decent money, has made some smartish business decisions and is definitely pretty, but Im just saying it like it is, telling the truth, everybody knows this stuff about her, except maybe her fans b/c fans tend to be in denial about their objects of affection. Sadly she’s the dumbest of the pop girls from the late 90′s Mandy is the smartest.

Awe…I feel so bad for Jessica. Everybody is always so mean to her. I think she is gorgeous…however the cover pic is pretty heinous considering when I first looked at it I was like “where is her freakin neck” then I realized, bad lighting. They pay these photographers bookoos of money, they could have at least made sure they had good lighting. I love her. I don’t care what anybody else says! Even if she does put on 20-40 lbs she’s still hot! Oh and btw, the pic of her in the robe and the face shot…are fabulosa! ***I LOVE YOU TRENT!!!!***

This may explain her “I love my dad” tweets…he got this for her when she has nothing to discuss.
Can’t stand the girl. Snooze!!

If it’s ok that Lindsay Lohan gets magazine covers then it should be ok for Jessica Simpson too.
At least Jessica is not a train wreck/terrible role model.

Vanity fair put Jessica Simpson on the cover because they knew it would get publicity and be talked about, and it worked. They are all about selling their brand and she has had alot of press attention recently.

You are right about the cover Trent. It’s a smorgasbord of terrible graphic design. Every time I look at it to say “well, the _____ isn’t half bad”, I find something else that makes me flinch. Jessica looks pretty enough, but even the lighting on the photo is poorly executed. sigh.
