Jessica Simpson may not know the difference between chicken and tuna, but she can distinguish what's in style and what's not.

And it's earning her A LOT of money.

The pop singer's fashion empire raked in $750 million dollars last year, and it's expected to push to a jaw-dropping $1 billion this year as she expands her collection, according to an article in New York Magazine that will hit shelves on Feb. 21.

She’s dropped it, besides the extra padding just makes her look good.

Jessica gets her ideas from Michelle, or vice versa.

But the main question is:

How much did Jessica pay for those boobs?

Just kidding.

Might as well stick a fork in us.

We are sooo done...

Recent pictures reflect a Simpson of greater (ahem) substance.

Well, she's just building up to become a spokesperson for another type of business: a weight loss program or diet program or an exercise video. She could make millions from that too. She's another "Jared" in the making.

Aren't there some "She went to Jared" commercials already running?

Only in anorexic, adolescent-obsessed America, could she be considered fat in those pictures. She’s curvy yes (Omg, a curvy adult woman!!) but the problem is, she’s very short waisted and should NEVER have worn high-waisted jeans and that belt. It’s more of an optical illusion, she’s chopped up by that outfit. It simply was not flattering.

I don't recall any commercials where the woman bought diamonds for the guy. It's usually the other way around.

You are correct. But hey, in this case, she can afford it.

And, since I’m really just a gold digger, if I went on a date with her she would probably have to do something like buy me something pretty, to capture my attention. Otherwise I would spend the entire time just staring at her “assets”.

Spot on. Fashion models figures are the way we are because they are selected by those who practice an alternate lifestyle. Porn stars have figures closer to Jessica’a because they are supposed to appeal to hetero dudes.

Yeah, she can afford the it, but I don't think she's desperate enough to buy diamonds for a guy, at least not until she's in her 40s and 100 pounds heavier and getting desperate for a man, any man.

And either way, no one’s looks are worth $1B

are you suggesting the Baraqqis impose price controls?

A friend of mine had designed/manufactured a fashion accessory. Simpson’s people put out a call for presentations and in the meeting, my friend was told that the cut was dependent upon whether or not it was something Jessica would wear. So, she is important enough to have some say over what is offered under her brand.

Unfortunately, my friend’s item didn’t make the cut.

That “broad” has entertained our troops in Iraq and the Middle east more than 5 times for the USO.

More power to her.

Jessica would have to pork up a whole lot more to not be attractive......and she has spent time with the troops overseas, so cut her a break.

Two belts, huh? I hope that doesn’t give Michelle any ideas.

Sorry to hear that. To be frank, celebrity is fickle nad her fortune depends on her not just being famous, but successful and I don’t see Jessica being too successful in the future. She is important because without her, the brand wouldn’t exist, that is, her fame. If it were someone else just as famous, then said person would be making the money that Jessica is now.

Jessica could be replaced, with some other hotter starlet in a year and be making only so much money as Jessica is now. That’s the difference between Jessica’s line and a real business. It’s just as liekly that if it wasn’t her, it would be someone else. That’s why I don’t take her accomplishments so seriously.
