Newlyweds, the MTV reality show about Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's new marriage, did not strike Gothamist as what we should be watching, but Virginia Heffernan's review in Slate tells us we are clearly missing out. Apparently Jessica Simpson doesn't know if tuna is chicken or fish (damn the marketing of "Chicken of the Sea") and Nick Lachey bitches about her to his stylist (a celebrity's best friend, it seems). Oh, and Simpson's idea of dealing with her laundry is throwing them from her balcony onto her foyer floor. Haha, Gothamist would imagine that even the laziest of celebrities would just stuff dirty clothes into a closet or something. Foyer - that means people coming into the house see it. Not that we're surprised, but Jessica Simpson is stupid.




Dammit, they beat me to it!! This show is unreal. Are we supposed to feel sorry for Jessica Simpson because she has had people pick up after her her whole life and now her husband won't let her hire a housekeeper to do the chores? I sure as hell don't.
This show is like watching a train wreck - you can't stop watching.
Opens to Big Ass MTV Cribs Style Simpson -Lachey Mansion foyer, delivery man in dirty overalls with crudely written LAUNDRY-R-US logo on back enters.
- Delivery Man: Hello, laundry pick up. Anyone home?
- Jessica Simpson: Up here!
- DM: Here to pick up laundry, Miss Simpson.
- JS: Just pick up that pile on the floor.
- DM: Sorry, but I'm with the uh...Underwear and intimates Division. I'm just here to pick up the bras and panties only.
- JS: Okay.
- DM: Oh, and I'm gonna need the bra and panties you're wearing right now as well.
-JS: Oh, okay(proceeds to strip off underwear to butt nakedness)
- END SCENE -
I think Jessica Simpson might actually be Special, in the Ed sense. You have to catch this episode, if only to hear her whine "I made an uh-oh" when she spills something.
Wait... so other than this show do these two actually do anything? They actually made a career out of being ex-sort-of-popular-popstars. For stupid people, they really know how to milk it.
the real question in my mind is this: in promotion of his new single, will nick follow jessica around saying "oohhhhh, shut up"?
This is so going to turn out like Bizarro World Bobby Brown & Whitney in a few months. Divorce countdown clock: 6months2days12h:15m:05s
She may be incredibly stupid, but she has a good body and face, well, better than good, and that is what she is here for...no one listens to her music...she reminds me of J.Lo
Ha ha! I caught the tail end of this and I didn't know which MTV show it was so I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to show up and Jessica to get Punk'd(R)...
love the bit where nick bitches about paying a cleaning lady $120 for a whole day of picking up after them. Wonder how much he makes a minute for sitting around looking pretty? You just can't script that shit.
Did anyone ever consider that this whole show might be scripted?? Or cleverly edited to make the most out of something small? Jessica and Nick are getting paid to have a hit show. Clearly the producers know how to script a hit show (b/c you are all watching) and Nikc & Jessica might just be smart enough to act their "parts" in this drama.
yes we're supposed to feel sorry for jessica, she's always had her mommy picking up after her...what a poor sad multi-millionare :-/
Message to Lachey: Dude, you're putting up with the most incredibly stupid bimbo alive who made a complete ass out of herself and your choice in a mate because you thought you were marrying a virgin??? Dude you probably would be better off with one of your dancers. You just dont know what you got yourself into dude, Good luck, I feel sorry for you.
I totally agree with these comments! Total train wreck that you don't want to watch but you do!
I loved the part when he and his brother were getting ready to move his bed and his brother says, "There better not be any stains on this"...at first I thot what a weird comment since he married a virgin (whatever than means nowadays, does it mean she did EVERYTHING except the actual act?). But then I was just hoping there would be to prove he had a life before this dumb bimbo!
I've always believed one's partner definitely reflects you...wow, what does Jessica say about Nick's character?
And he's coming off as a total penny pincher - not wanting to hire a maid. Granted his wife should know how to do that stuff (did he do any of the household chores?) but they both make $$$ so is $120/week really going to kill them for that stupid maid who didn't know what to charge them?
The whole show is based on her stupidity. She's WAY spoiled and the only thing she is good for, is SEX to Nick. You saw how he wanted to go with the dancers and did you notice how he eyes up the one gal with 'Nick' on her booty? LOL Well, there marriage won't last long that's for sure! She's stupider than a doorknob and she's looks it too! They better stop this show before she looks EVEN MORE DUMB AND SPOILED to the world!! Well, we know why he married her--only for her looks and that will only get him so far with her. OOOOOOHHHHH and HOW in the world do you BUY panties and bras WITHOUT looking at the price tag?????? About $800.00 down the drain. Do ya think Jessica cares about the starving world at hand????? DUMB (Jessica) AND DUMBER (Nick--for staying with her)! Watch out...he's bound to playing around with the dancers...I betcha!!
wow, and I thought i was the only one who thought she was an idiot!! as soon as I got done watching i wanted to come online and spread it all over the internet how much i hated her after watching that!! I think I'll go throw darts at the pinups I have of her now.......
Looking at their stupidity on that show, my only thought was that their managers/agents were damn good to have built their career so far, cause let's face it; Jessica is really dumb and knows none about life. Perhaps we should send her the book "I think I have a brain. How can I use it? A guide for Dummies." I pity Nick who seems quite lost with all this...
Peace. C.
Never have I watched a show just because I hate someone on it so much. I keep thinking that she must be joking because no one is as stupid as Jessica Simpson. This girl, a burping laxy slob, cannot hope her marriage lasts because she has a cute figure. God, help Nick and bless him with temporary infertility until the divorce because she would be a disaster as a mother. BAAAAABY, I CAN'T FIND THE FORMULAAAAAA.
After watching this montrosity of a show, I think my IQ dropped dramatically.....how sad that someone can be that dumb and think it is so cute! It almost seems as if she is trying to act and sound as stupid as she does....what a waste of space....UGH! Poor Nick--but come on buddy, after 10 minutes with her I could have told you she was dumber than a rock........good luck to the dumbest couple in the world after this show goes off the air..........
I don't know why no one seems to be mentioning the most obvious issue: Jessica Simpson is a young Anna Nicole! (pre drugs and obesity)_They both act even more stupid, and helpless than they actually are for the cameras... they are drama queens! They are embarrassing! They are both walking train wrecks, and that is why the show is hard not to watch. Great news for MTV, but the "Newlyweds" should be ashamed. I would love to hear their comments now that the show has aired. Do they realize how queer they are? Have any of the REAL celebrities commented on how retarded they have been exposed as being?
Actually ...rumor has it already you guys are being completely entertained....that is its entirely scripted and what they dont get right its edited to look a certain way..........just like your osbournes reality tv LMAO ...its not real its made to look a certain way ...because stupid tv watchers stereotype everything to fit a certain peg and thats what these two particular shows do..........they are making fun of you ...its not real ...they are acting....always .....stop watching this junk
Nobody can act that darn stupid
Scripted? I think "Joe Schmo" pretty much proved how a scripted reality show would play out. You can't just write stuff like "Newlyweds". If anything, the creative editing really makes the show...
The show is great. When I watch it I get 1) to see very hot girl with great rack and tempting lips.
And 2) listening to Jessica Simpson, It reinforces my, what is normally baseless believe, that women are stupid. Especially Blonde... hot white women... from texas...
Regardless.... I think I would marry jessica simpson, despite her dumbness. Everytime Nick and Jess hug, he cops a feel, grabbing her ass, so he knows what the marriage is all about...
Put up with dumb spoiled blonde = get to grab hot blonde butt.
I find it hard to believe that they would agree to "act" as stupid as they seem. Well, I guess, as she seems. That girl has no common sense and is as dumb as a person can get. Why would she want to portray herself like that? I'm betting that is exactlly how she is. Of course, MTV I'm sure edits it to make her seem even dumber than she truly is. But the basis is there. She's a raving idoit and I love to watch the show to see what dumb comment she is going to make next.
I don't think the show is scripted at all. Though I did read before it began airing, that MTV purposely sent them camping and stuff, to try and make things more interesting (seems they felt the pair were boring).
I think that Jessica TRULY is an idiot, and the fact that she tries to be cute about it, combined with MTV's editing, makes her come across even worse. Nick seems embarrassed by her stupid comments, especially when they are around other people. I felt so bad for him when she responded with, "I don't eat buffalo", when Drew's wife offered her the buffalo wings at dinner. Even Nick was like, "Come on baby, you know this."
It's only a matter of time before he realizes that this marriage was a huge mistake and walks out on her. A good piece of *ss does not make a marriage. The sex can only take them so far...
dude, i agree that this show has got to be scripted... but if its not, then good lord we got a real stupid broad and an ulgyass ,has-been male pop star.
whats he so f***ing cheap about. dude you make freakin millions, more money than you could ever count. thats pathetic
Not only is she stupid, she's filthy and can't sing. This girl honestly has no talent. I can't stop laughing at how she is making a complete fool of herself. You just gotta feel sorry for Nick. It's obvious that he is frustrated. Her looks can only get you so far and she not even all that hot.Ya'll are right their marriage will not last.
No, Jessica can sing. I will give her that. However, I have figured the show out finally. It is not scripted, but just like the Anna Nicole show, they either arrange or suggest that they have some sort of activity every day like camping or golfing... their lives are too boring otherwise. MTV really doesn't edit much to make Jessica look stupid. Nick is cheap because in case no one has noticed, the two of them were not that popular before this show. They have both just come out with new singles, but they agreed to do the show before their singles came out, and MTV helped them get noticed again, and they must have been really desperate since I am sure their wedding cost a bundle. They were obviously so desperate to become the "celebrities" they are in their heads. "Is there like maids for celebrities?" (I cannot believe she called herself a celebrity on TV.) Basically they sold their souls to the devil (MTV) in a fleeting attempt at saving their careers. Come on, how pathetic was it that they sat at that fourth of July thing with such amatures as that whore that sang that first awful song! You wouldn't catch Madonna or even Britney doing a weak show like that. Jessica also revealed a bit of her real personality that day, while she repeatedly made fun of that girl that couldn't sing. Sorry it all comes so easy for you Jess. (even she cant pretend that she is nice all the time.
As far as Jessica's stupidity- Pay attention, she only acts stupid when Nick is around for the most part. It is like this embarrassing game they play with each other. She acts stupid and prissy, and he pretends he can't take it anymore. He is really eating it up inside though. For some sick reason he likes it and Jessica knows it. She knows the differences between chicken fish and buffalo, but she is from Texas where they are raised on beauty pagents and "southern bellism" She WANTS to portray this image of being a beautiful spoiled brat that is so sweet and pure- yet real, thhat is why she freely burps and talks about her gas and movements. She is so loving that everyone has noticed her Louis Vuitton bag- because she is obviously so proud to own one. It is really sad that they are allowing the whole country to see how retarded they really are.
I would like to know what other "celebrities" have to say about this show? Are they embarrassed? One begins to wonder while watching these two 'celebrities" in action if ALL celebrities are like this in real life- desperate, jealous and pathetic.
And if they call each other "Baby" one more time I will scream. Nick especially, your 29!
No way is Jessica that stupid. She grew up in the most cynical "sweet in your face" suburb in Dallas. Nobody gets in this business for as long as she has and doesn't get somewhat savvy. She can sing, and if you notice, she seems not at all dumb in the studio. And she knows how to really "sell" a performance, something an Anna Nicole never had to do. Read the credits. Her dad is one of the producers. This is one incredibly sucessful publicity stunt. And if SOMEHOW it isn't - who's the stupid one? Jessica? Or the guy who was with her for a LONG time and didn't know her any better than that? She's no Anna Nicole, more a Marilyn Monroe - working the image.
Yes this IS a publicity stunt, but don't tell me Jessica had anything to do with it. She knows how to sell a song, and she has great stage presence, but now she is letting everyone in on how stupid she acts in real life. I like MTV, and I'll watch her show because afterwards you can feel good about yourself that you are not her.
I will NEVER buy any of her or Nicks music though. Why should we help a person like her acheive her dream? She is spoiled and I would love to see her unhappy.
Jessica Simpson has got to be the stupidest person on the planet--or maybe Nick is for marrying her. Her "I'm so innocently dumb" routine makes me want to puke. The girl can sing, I'll give her that, but everything else about her is so RETARDED!!! I can't stop watching because I can't believe there are people out there that are actually this dumb.
Do you really think she is that stupid?? I just can't believe it! It's sooo over the top (oh my gosh, what if she actually is?? It's mind boggling - it's simpsonizing! ha ha). It's so hard to believe. Seriously, her father is one of the show's producers. Hard to imagine a dad letting his princess come off as an idiot... unless it's an act with a point to it... i.e. publicity... I wouldn't be surprised if they capped the whole series off with a HA! and Ashton Kutcher punking US... then Jessica starts her acting career - if she's fooling this many people maybe she deserves an Emmy! On the other hand, if it's for real, she deserves a lobotomy! yikes
Everyone needs to stop right now with suggesting that this display of jessica's life might possibly not be real. since this show was actually filmed so long ago, now that the "Lachey's" are getting all this negative feedback, they would LOVE to pretend it was all an act! I won't believe it for a minute. She is an idiot, it is clear, and it is not scripted. The Osbournes were not scripted.
it had to be one of my most favorite tv moments when nick looked at jessica and said, "you are a spoiled brat." what's even funnier to me is that she claimed she is a "nice girl." uh, jessica, you are a flaming idiot-- i mean everyone who's posted has bitched about her stupidity, and i hate to just add to that and be repetitive, but i am wondering if seriously this girl ever went to any schooling. she is dumb as a doorknob and really seems to think it's cute to be dumb and arrogant and spoiled. sometimes i think that girl just needs a good spanking.
Rigor who? Rigor what?
She's a midget
A healthy mature marriage is built on mutual respect. I think the show makes clear that Jessica is far too self involved to have any respect for Nick. She ignores his opinions, sulks, whines and pouts to get her own way.
Out of insecurity she inserts herself into all aspects of his life, but then, when she doesnt enjoy the activity (like the golf game) she whines and sulks and ruins it for everyone.
Its little wonder Nick prefers the company of his brother to his wife. Drew lets Nick be Nick. Jessica wants Nick to be not her husband but her security blanket, corny, syncophant and number one ego stroker.
Jessica constantly proclaims her love for Nick, but in rally she doesnt treat him very well and certainly with no respect.
I haven't even watched this show, since I don't get cable, but it sounds funny. I wonder if Jessica really is that dumb. Come on now, buffalo wings? Rigormortis? Hmm. It's not that hard. As for the laundry, I'm kind of a slob, but even I have my limits. You can't expect someone to wait on you hand and foot. Maybe it's different for "celebrities," though. As for Nick, he does sound especially cheap, but I can relate to that too. Maybe they're not making that much money. Why else would they humiliate themselves on TV like that? Anyway, that's entertainment.
I never thought of either of them much. He seemed like a cheesy boy bander and she was a bimbo. But I gotta admit I like him a lot more after seeing this show. He seems down to earth. He obviously has done most things byself and has some standards, he irons his T-shirt and picks up wet towels, he seems like a great roommate. And about him being cheap I think he was more blue collar and has the mentality that paying someone to do something you can do is dumb. They wouldn't need a maid if she wasn't such a slob
Does the way she calls Nick- NIIIIIIkkkk...bother anyone else besides me? And I could see season two when she is pregnant- now run this by me again, the baby is coming out of what hole? Of course, she'll put the stuffed platymups in the baby's nursery. I cannot believe these people are going to produce offspring!
I think the show is funny. Jessica is so immature and spoiled and I think Nick deserves better. He is such a great guy. Good luck to you Nick!
Jessica's cute but a frickin' idiot. My head hurts when I watch the show but i love it . I guess the myths are true BLONDES ARE DUMB!!! I really feel sorry for Nick he had to wait 4 yrs to have sex with a person who can't even hold a conversation at his intellegence level. No wonder he spends so much time with his brother atleast he actually has something intellegent to say other than "rigo who?" or my fav "I don't eat buffalo" and "Why were there mouses?". All I can say is Jessica needs to stop spending so much money on bra's and panties and spend more money on a personal tutor . Poor lil retard!
Where are the knifes?
Hmmm. I guess I'm a bit confused. If this is all an act and some type of publicity stunt, just HOW is it helpful?
To have people believe that Jessica Simpson is a bumbling idiot...THAT is supposed to sell more records? Will she become more popoular because she's a moron? Will Nick's "Shut Up" magically shoot to the top of the charts because we pity him?
Somehow I just don't see the logic. It sure as hell didn't help Anna Nicole. She is less respected now than ever.
Man, this show is hilarious! I'm sure that there has been a lot of editing, but Jessica is obviously not the brightest person, so I wonder what Nick saw in her at all. I guess the sex has to be THE BEST if he's still hanging around. Heh, oh well; i guess they'll have to deal with the monster that they've created. We'll see what happens, cause it looks like this monstrosity might not just ruin their marriage, possibly their lives.
The last episode said it all in my opinion- Jessica is selfish in bed as well as every other aspect of their lives. Jessica said she would pay Nick to decorate the house, he asks "pay him how?" She says she'll pay him "in bed".... Nick doesn't really seem impressed. He says he wants a raise- with "benefits". This shuts Jessica up immediatly and she quickly gets up to leave the situation. The benefits Nick was speaking of was obviously some oral sex for himself for a change! Jessica clearly never gives him any, because she only wants things for herself. Poor Nick.
The first time I saw this show and saw how dumb this chick is....I said to myself "Damn" she makes all Jessica's look bad lol. Jessica is a pretty girl and all but all beauty and no brains is not a good combo. I feel sorry for Nick, it looks like he can't stand her dumb ass sometimes. Well if we don't hear that they break up soon, then we will be hearing that he smacked the hell at of her. She needs a good ass kicking. All I have to say is that to be with a girl so dumb, she must got some good p*ssy or head. But I don't think its worth it, being married to someone cuz they are pretty or got good sex. Cause brains do count "get it"..lol.
I'm not perfect, but I know how to keep my house clean. I know what buffalo wings are & chicken of the sea tuna is. And the whole dolphin thing and the hole on top of their head. Omg! Its not that hard. I thought Jessica had nice going for her, but I was wrong about nice. How she put down that chick at the amature fourth of july thing. For one thing, you 2 idiots took an amature gig in the first place. Did the girl ever claim that she could sing or that she has a record deal on MTV? Does she go on Mtv acting stupid? No, no, no. I also watched Jessica bitching at Nick for redecorating. She was complaining she didn't like it cause she didn't get to say what looked cute where. Nick is like I worked my ass off. What a bitch. Boy the joke is Nick. He married a stupid, bitchy, whiney, hot chick. Sad but true. A lot of guys do it. The only option left - divorce & if he doesn't take that option hes stupider than her. Jessica recently went on The Wayne Brady Show and seemed happy about the show. I wouldn't be too happy about it. I just seen the preview for the next show - Jessica, Nick, Drew and his wife are all sitting at a table and Jessica starts talking about Nick's hairy ass. everyone has flaws. But does the bitch not realize its going to be aired. The least they could of done was edit the damn thing. Nick's face is like so beat red. And then she says something about licking it(If I heard it correctly). WTF. Either they gotta be stupid enough to let this shit air or MTVs paying them a shitload of money. I don't know where this show is headed or what will happen with the couple, but I'll keep watching the train wreck til it gets cleaned up. MTV definatley knows what they are doing. Find 2 low rate celebs.(since thats what Jessica is refereing to herself these days - as a celeb)who just got married, need money(so Mtv can pay them cheap), and let them air their stupidity all over tv. Its a fucking good deal for MTV. The osbourne probally charged a good amount of $$$ since they are actually smart. Good show for cheap. Guess the MTV Gods & all the ppl Jessica Simpson laughs at are getting the last laugh. Ps: I agree with the person who said they can't wait til Nick and Jessica have kids. It wont be baby i cant find the formula ... it will be BABY, change the babys diaper its too icky, feed her, burp her, etc... Or shell try talking him into getting a nanny to do it all for her. Nick will be too cheap to and have her mom do it. LOL. No wonder Nick doesn't want to have kids - fuck what he told the dancers about focusing on their careers ... More like wait until Jessica grows up - no kids. LOL.
PS TO JESSICA: Duh bitch you dont like what your husband does get off your lazy ass and do it yourself. I bet if I was so stupid, lazy, and ignorant as you my husband would be watching other women too. But I'm not and thats why my marriage is lasting.
My favorite thing is all you nearly-illiterate posters calling Jessica stupid. Learn some spelling and grammar before you go around calling other people stupid.
I had never heard about these two people before this show, except Jessica's guest appearance on That 70's Show. As fas as editing goes, of course the show is edited to show the most interesting moments, including when Jessica says something stupid. But I don't think they are editing out the laboratory work where she is curing cancer.
Wow you people have alot of hate in you to type such long letters, i hope you are putting that much energy into feeding the homeless or something. I'm not a fan of Nick or Jessica although she is hot as hell, but come on i know you guys have done stupid things also. Let's see sleep with the skank without a condom, let that guy bang you without being his girl or maybe you took that happy pill,drank a few beers and left the club to go driving your merry way to the after party with all those innocent pedestrians on the street.Dumb indeed.
A.) If you are using Jessica to decide if "Blondes are dumb" is accurate, that's not possible. JESSICA IS NOT A NATURAL BLONDE FOLKS.
B.) I'm from Texas and there's nothing worse than this kind of "oh, help me, I'm so useless 'cause I'm only a girlie-girl." Most Texan girls are NOT raised to be this way. Now, I can't comment about red-necks because I'm not one and that may be the difference. Pre-fabricated home life & it's customs may include raising girls like Jessica.
If all of you have come to realize like I have that you no longer like Jessica Simpson.... what to do is NOT watch their show, TELL MTV that they should cancel it, and especially do not buy their music. It doesn't seem as though Jessica has ever had to endure any sufferring in her life, and I think she needs some for a reality check. She does not deserve all that she has. The only good thing about this show is that she is being exposed for the idiot she is. Now we need to use that information and not allow her to make more money in music sales!
Jessica Simpson is retarted....I have never wanted to kill someone untill i saw that show. How many girls do you know that say that "They want to go and drop their kids off at the pool!" I have never felt more sick to my stomach in my life. Just imagine that stupid taking a crap! Before i saw the show, i thought the girl was pretty sexy, but u know...now i F-ing hate her! Nick has it all put together too. He should have married someone that can actually do laundry and not bitch every time she makes a stupid mistake! What the heck is wrong with the guy?
Oh my! Where do I begin. I never knew Jessica Simpson was so incredibly stupid! Seriously...after watching this show I wanted to go and strangle her. Nick wants to rid her of her spoiledness in 5 years and he's only on year 1? Think he'll last that long? Good luck! Why does he put up with someone that stupid!?
Wasn't she a virgin when she married NIck?
I think some men will put up with a lot of stuff to say that their wives have only been touched by them, if you know what I mean.
Instead of thinking of her as a woman, think of her as his pet that he can have sex with anytime he wants.
I want to sit her down and spell things out for her. I kind of feel bad for how dumb she is. But then again it pisses me off because she is about as smart as a blade of grass, but being paid millions, while I am a poor college student.
what is this saying about american culture?
that we value beauty and entertainment value over educating our children. God.... I want to see her pass even one out of the five classes I am taking...and I'm an art major.
I wonder if she knows that she looks like a complete ass.
Get a life college student, life is not fair.I'm sure some kid in Nigeria is thinking the same about you.
A speedbump would have more intelligence that she exhibits in her show.
Everyone feels sorry for Nick... like he was forced into this relationship. When in reality he wanted to be in it. They broke up for 5 months, basically so that Nick can go around and have fun well she wanted to stay a virgin. Nick had the chance then to leave the relationship for good and he didnt. So i dont feel sorry for Nick, and if he complains, well he is stupid for getting himself into this.
Plata-muh-puss.....LMAO
I have to admit I'm addicted to watching the show because I'm amazed at Jessica's lack of common knowledge.
I just can't believe that they signed for another season (maybe as a Plan B from their music careers). If I were her and heard all these comments, I would definitely go into hiding.
Did anyone stop to think that we could not criticize Nick and Jessica if they did not open up their home to the whole world. Yes Jessica may have her faults, but all in all it is a very entertaining show. With all the cohabitation going on today, it is refreshing to see a young couple trying to make their marriage work.

its a good show, I dont think jessie is really that dumb to be honest, I mean she isnt a genius but they edit it to make her look all the dumber, I also think jessie says half her stuff just because it is really awkward and she has nothing else to say...Nick seems like a really smart guy, he is not just in it for the sex, also because look at his wife, world renowned and the envy of most...I think they both gain
The worst part of the show is the marriage itself - what a horrible example of a relationship! It's like something out of high school: teeny-boppers who are "in love" but who don't seem to LIKE each other, or really even know each other very well. It's not refreshing, it's sad.
some observations, opinions, and predictions...
1)you can't creatively edit jessica's lack of intelligence. creative editing is when nick's talking about the party he went to to jessica and shots are intercut of girls butts wiggling. THAT'S creative editing. where is the creative editing used in her not knowing about buffalo wings, or rigor mortis, or dolphin holes, or chicken of the sea, or $800 lingerie, etc...?
2) her dad may be a producer in the credits, but i'm sure the only thing he initially cared about was getting his daughter publicity. he knows what his daughter is like, he + his wife raised/spoiled her. it's not anything new to him, i'm sure.
3)MTV is smart. greedy, but smart. they don't care about jessica or nick. all they care about is ratings. the way the show is, by now everyone has told everyone else to watch this show where there's this really dumb as nails popstar. just look at how many of us have posted here. we're all watching. i'm watching. you're watching. and that translates into an audience for advertisers products. and that translates into $$$ for MTV.
4)their marriage won't last. and if it does, it'll be years of hell for both of them. and we'll all be there to watch, i'm sure. either way, it makes for great television.
5)jessica has her parents to blame more than anyone for how she turned out.
It's simple --
If one must play stupid in order to get famous and make a lot of money, then obviously one's public image is worth nothing more than the idiocy one pretends.
Ergo: the girl is a complete moron. Would anyone here go be interested in having her help out with anything at all? Would anyone here want her to represent their company, organization, or cause at any time, for any reason? Of course not.
She's going nowhere, and always will be. Why? Because she's stupid.
Smart enough to parlay that stupidity into a career, but why should anyone emulate stupidity in the first place? A dead-end career and a dead-end life for a pathetic person.
Jessica Simpson has the brain of a tree, and the attention span of a nat. But, you can't blame her soley for being the spoiled, stupid brat she is---you have to blame her mom. Her mother is the one who basically kissed her ass during her adolescent years. It's parents like Jessica's mom who are responsible for their kids being the spoiled brats they have become. Her mom has to be a little embarassed for turning Jessica into the monster she has become. Maybe stupidity runs in the Simpson family. I mean, look at how Jessica treats her mom on the show sometimes---total disrespect!!!! I wouldn't let a child of mine talk to me in the disrespectful way Jessica talks to her mom. They both stupid.
http://www.msnbc.com/news/978317.asp........and the latest review, eloquently put into detail how we all feel about intelectual giant, jessica simpson. Concensus is that this is not scripted, couldn't be....it's just to ridiculous and demeaning for anyone to agree to be presented this way to a national audience.
I found Nancy & Carl's views interesting. I must admit I question the ages of Nancy & Carl due to these posts but different view make for great discussion.
Nancy: No one here is discussing Jessica's faults. I for one don't expect perfection. But she did open up her home, she is an idiot & if Nick had "cohabitated" as you put it, he would not be stuck with her. This is not 1950. It's not refreshing to witness this, I'd give the benefit of the doubt to young married couples, who I think, albeit miserably, frequently try to make it work. Trying is not enough, it take maturity. Something Jessica lacks.
Carl: "jessie" as I guess you call her, could not be scripted to come across with such a low I.Q. that all the people posting here & most others, think she is a complete idiot. What about her mean streak & not hesitating to ridicule someone singing before her as if SHE had talent. She says stupid things because it's awkward??? That's interesting. Most reality shows I'm sure are awkward. I'm sure it's awkward for Nick but he knows what tuna is if he's eating it!! You said, & I quote "he's a really smart guy & not in it for the sex, I mean, look at his wife"......HELLO, that's a bit contradictory. Have you ever left the U.S.???? She is not world renowned.....alot of Americans do not know who she is. The U.S. is NOT the whole word. There is a whole planet that does not know who she is. And she is most definitely, not the envy of most. Have you not read the posts, seen the news reports on her????? Can everyone with a negative opinion of her just be ummmmm.....envious?
This show is making my brain rot. I admit, I watched a few episodes (the most recent ones). It's really sad to see a grown woman behave this way and then glorify on being a total idiot. Her husband is made to appear like a spineless fool. How can this "publicity" be good for her? It only makes her seem like the stereotypical 'dumb blonde'. She's doing a total injustice for the smart blond women out there.
Jessica Simpson is disgusting, lazy, stupid, and crass. It's not 'down to earth', it's absurd. Hopefully, her cash isn't going to run out; as I can't imagine her making more in the future. Look out for her on Celebrity Boot Camp.
The Situation: Jessica Simpson Visits Chicken of the Sea.
The Profound Lesson: When struggling with a difficult concept, go straight to the source.
jESSICA SIMPSON HAS TO BE THE MOST STUPID BLONDE THAT HAS EVER WALKED ON THIS EARTH. AHH HELLO PEOPLE THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE WATCH THIS SHOW IS NOT FOR ITS EDUCATIONAL CONTENT OR ENTERTAINMENT VALUE ITS REALLY TO JUST SEE IF SHE CAN ACTUALLY TOP LAST WEEKS STUPID COMMENT......BOY I BET HER RECORD SALES HAVE DROPPED AND IF THEY HAVEN THEY SHOULD
Actually I think Martini may be on to something. Its true that Jessica is a whiny selfish airhead, but Nick married her and stays married to her. One has to wonder why.
Maybe a real adult woman with brains and opinions of her own would rock his ego and challenge him more than some blonde airheaded girl-child. Being a hot studly pop star he could be used to having women fawn over him, women he could use and not really think or care about.
Nick, I hope you know what you are doing, bud.
But what is clear is that any child of that marriage will need years on an anaylst's counch
Although after thinking about my post above, I still feel sorry for Nick. I may have been too harsh on him. After all he did try to treat Jessica to the romantic weekend she always desired (which she spoiled by misplacing her passport and whining about her shoes)
Jessica seems so oblivious to his feelings and need for an orderly household and life that sometimes I see such a pained and deeply sad expression on his face. I dont think its fakery, I think at times she really hurts him and doesnt even see it.
As for their money, well, Ivn, the joke is on us cuz we watch her show.
Money talks, b.s. walks. If you think this couple is not raking it in on this show then you are incredibly naive. You think only MTV is scoring big on this? Mediocre pop stars that have hit on a huge phenomenon...There's insurance for your financial future. Looking dumb is a great bit. It worked for Suzanne Somers on Three's Company and Lisa Kudrow on Friends... Reality TV is just the new set.
Really, think about it, Sharon Osbourne now has her own talk show. Reality TV paved the way, and she admits it was her idea. I think Sharon came up with this because she knew Ozzie was a train wreck you could not look away from. She knew people would watch (because it's outrageous) and Oz is not pulling in nearly the bucks he once did. Scripted on not isn't the issue. The concept is still the same - "our weirdness will earn us money".
The latest Newlyweds episodes show bits of Jessica's videos at the end. Have you seen "Without You"? It absolutely drips with irony - the "stinky ass" sweatshirt completely gives it away, in my opinion.
If you can't believe anyone would look stupid or weird for money/publicity, think David Blaine, Andy Kaufman, Dennis Rodman, Pamela Anderson(boobs in, boobs out, boobs in...), Jenny McCarthy (a really gross blonde).. etc, etc. Remember, there is a big guy with a camera about 5 feet away. I feel certain that if I knew I was coming off as stupid, I would be a LOT quieter. And she CANNOT be unaware of this fact if she watches TV or reads ANYTHING. It's a game, a game, a big, fat, moneymaking game. How could MTV be so clairvoyant... they couldn't know ahead of time how this would go. Television concepts are planned down to the tiniest detail. The stars and the shirts worked this all out together, I guarantee you. Would you watch Jessica Simpson DO her laundry? OF course not. But watch her throw it over the 2nd story railing, then wallow in it in her video - they "gotcha!"
Has anyone really bothered to check to see if the sales of the couples' CDs are down or up? Interesting. Also, this automatically takes them in front of an older audience, not preteens. Come on, these people have MANAGERS!
I honestly believe the whole "plan" is working beautifully.
You do all know that the Britney/Madonna kiss was planned and staged, right? (Just kidding)
One last thing - I saw Barbara Walters talking about rehearsals for last years Emmys and the presentation to be made by the Osbournes. She said there was NOT ONE curse word in rehearsal, but out they poured on live TV. They don't call these people performers for nothing. Don't forget the "biz" in showbiz.
I believe all this, but for the life of me I can't stop watching. I need help:)
I think it's fake, I think it's great, I think it's hilarious, and I'm ashamed to admit it!
Personally I think most of you that have left coments before me, sound pretty jealous. These are ENTERTAINERS!!!!!!! They are paid to entertain us-to make us forget about our problems
and all the horrible things that are going on in the world right now-for a moment anyway. Think about it, If MTV came to you offering millions or hundreds of thousands to do the same type of thing
you wouldn't jump at the chance? They might seem spoiled and ditzy but for right now this is a good career decision. It is the number 2 rated cable show right now. And remember YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
jessica is awesome....you are all jealous...i know that i am
The only idiots here, are the people who watch the show and believe its non-scripted. These people are the same lame ass, couch potatoes that believe WWF is real also.
Leanne... I think it's fake I think it's great I think it's hilarious and I'm NOT ashamed to admit it!!!
Jessica Simpson is indeed a bumbling idiot. I'm not jealous nor am i envious, so please refer from saying that. We are all entiled to our own opinion so if you dont like what your reading close your browser buddy!!!!! I honestly believe they must be some real greedy animals to make their life and business everyone elses. Me personally would never open my door or marriage for riducule and critism. Jessica and Nick obviouslly were desperate to make money since their careers were slowley dissapearing. But that shows what this country is all about money, money, money. Kinda sad, huh? Shes a nasty woman. The way she presents herself, or the way shes scripted to present herself(since theres such a debate about that), all i have to say--white trash! Nick is going to be out the door very soon. Shes nastyyyy, making indirect comments about that singer was horrible. Some ppl may have not caught on to it, but i sure did. I really pity ppl like Jessica, ungrateful for the life she was given. I honestly believe that stupidty front she puts up is basically a way to look cute. She thinks she is the princess of the world and since she has million she can do that. She doesnt care so you guys shouldnt either. Believe it or not that laughing it up in their million dollar mansion while were here typing on the internet in our average lives..lol..life sucks!
Personally I think Jessica's parents are way too weird. Especially her dad, who seems far too familiar with Nick and Jessica's sex life. While they made out during the shooting of her video, he stood their and watched....CREEPY!
I can't stand Jessica Simpson anymore..I bought into her stupidty for a while, but now I just realize she is just acting in front of the camera. She tries way too hard to be stupid and its so phony. Do we really have to see her parents every friggin episode? Why dont they let nick and Jessica alone...She really is overrated and hella phony.
I don't understand why everyone is so against Nick and Jessica. Yes, she's an idiot with a complete lack of common sense. Yes, he's basically a has-been that constantly complains about her lack of common sense. But they still have a TV show that is making alot of money and obviously they are doing something right or you people wouldn't still be watching it. If you don't like it then don't watch it. If you are still watching it, then shut up and quit complaining. Jessica is hot and she has an amazing singing voice. She's not any different than any other singer today and I don't hear any of you bi**hing about them. Seriously folks, how many other outrageously stupid and off the wall TV shows are out there? Punk'd, Scare Tactics, and the totally scripted and edited "reality shows". Come on people, lay off Nick and Jessica and let them make their money. If you don't like it then stop buying their music and watching their TV show. Don't hate them because they are beautiful and rich. You don't seem to hate any other beautiful rich celebrities. Or maybe you are all just jealous of the fact that they make millions and you don't. Want to make that kind of money? Then do what they do, air your dirty laundry (no pun intended), let your life sit on display on television, or get up there and try to belt out some of the hot high notes that the little blonde vixon can. Just please do something and shut up about Nick and Jessica!!!
LMAO! Every last one of your posts trashing Jessica Simpson is so funny. None of you have a clue. She is filthy rich. All of you are jealous that she can act the way she does and be that rich and have a guy that good looking and sweet to her. If given the chance every last one of you would do the same thing for that much money. Everyone has a price rather they will admit it or not. Also if you hate her so much and the show is so lame then why waste an ounce of your time writing about it? Why continue to watch it? And why do all of you know so damn much about certain episodes? I like the show and I watch from time to time and I don't even know as much about every episode. You know MTV isn't free you have to pay for it which means that you probably have other channels along with that one so why don't you just change the F**KING channel? LOL, well have fun trashing a girl that is an air head at times but has never proved to be a bad person or deserve half the shit everyone says about her. I hope Jessica makes a lot more money and smiles and laughs all the way to the bank!
Jessica more than likely has a stinky ass bcause
that moron or husband must walk behind her & find
her somehow, it's the same principal as
Onstar, butt in this case it's Nosestar> PU
Thank you Ivy......I agree with every word you wrote! I'm glad someone finally said it. Their all morons for getting on their computers to trash someone about being dumb....but their just as idiotic and they don't make the cash Jessica is!!!

I think Jessica and Nick are great. Everyone judging them are hypocrites. Just imagine the dumb things the world might see you doing if there were cameras following you areound 24 hours. I know they are laughing all the way to the bank because I would be.
Leanne, you are completely right in your observations. I am very impressed, and that does not happen often.
I think her mispronunciations and her every episode blondisms are what keep us all watching. Would be as attracted to this show if Jessica was an intellectual who collected Kahlo's paintings and read poems by Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. I highly doubt it. I think she is smart to realize stupid sells. Janes Manesfield was a genius who played dumb for the cameras. Jessica is only following the formula for blondes in the industry.
I don't think Jessica can dance. She looks unnatural in her music videos. She's OK looking only. But she's lucky she's got this successful with newlyweds and she's lucky she's got nick.
I think nick and jessica are beautiful looking people and they are both so very talented. i just find it so sad that they dont seem happy together.
in marriage one must look to be a "giver" they must make it a goal. i also dont see jessica doing her part as wife. as a wife it is a job to help bring the best out in your husband, be his #1 fan. nick appears to do that with jess. but i see her as just being a negative type of wife who does not seem to help uplift her husband. " the two become one" means not to just seek your own wants all of the time but to look at the needs of your mate.
i feel bad for the couple, i think they love eachother but do struggle with selfishness, lack of faith in god.

The reason why teeny-boppers like Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears are so fucking stupid is because their Patsey Ramsey-like-mothers were dragging them around to auditions their whole childhood when they should be in school. How come social services won't take their kids away like a crackhead that doesn't send their kids to school? It's bad enough a lot of these so called "artists" sell themselves out, but it all started with their parents exploiting them. Everyone wants to know why our youth is so deranged, look at the parents! God forbid that brainless fat titted bitch ever has kids. She would hire a nanny to raise it, just like other "celebs". I don't know about you but I would rather grow up in a trailer park with hard-working parents that had morals and integrity instead of living in a big empty house being raised by nannies while my rich, famous parents are off being shallow and selling out to a desparate public that isn't satified with their own lives. The public are the ones who make these sad fuck untalented "artists" rich and famous. And what really gets me is that Jessica Simpson says she's a Christain. I'm not here to debate that but she has NEVER shown any Christain-like behavior. Also about all this "creative editing", either way Jessica is a dumb fuck. And that is probably all she's good for to Nick.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE DAMN SHOW OR YOU THINK ITS SCRIPTED THEN DON'T FUCKING WATCH IT!!!! THAT SIMPLE!I SURE JESSICA AND NICK REALLY CARE WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK! see ya
I agree- if you don't like the show than stop watching it!! Obviously they are doing something right because the show lasted 3 seasons and look at all the endorsement deals they have gotten. I think they are great and even greater together!! For all of you that think they won't last, who the fuck are you to judge!! They lasted this long. And Jessica didn't have everything handed to her, she started small and had to perform in malls. Good for them and the life they have. Jealousy getes you nowhere!!!
Sometimes I think everyone that makes fucked up comments about the people on tv should be taped on a reality show so that the world could see all of their down falls and talk shit about them too.
