Jessica Simpson To Star In A Sitcom…About Her Life

Posted byBy Kim Burnell | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

For some reason the singer and new mom, Jessica Simpson, wants to expand her acting career and thinks the world would be interested in a show based on her own life. Didn’t we already see this when she had her own reality show, Newlyweds? 

Jessica Simpson has recently decided  her life would be perfect for a sitcom. She stated, “I often find myself thinking that no one could ever make up the things that actually happen in my life- so between the real life elements and a great team of writers, I think we’ll have people laughing!” Based on Simpson’s airhead performance on Newlyweds, the audience will likely be laughing at her instead of with her .Executive producer Ben Silverman equates Simpson to a “modern day Lucy” which seems like quite a stretch.

Aside from the obvious that nobody is interested in watching her life again, Simpson is an incredibly busy woman. She’s juggling her fashion empire and a recurring judge spot on Fashion Star. She’s also very publicly losing weight for Weight Watchers360 AND incubating her second child in two years. Being a new mom is a full time job in itself, does she really have time for a sitcom on top of all her other commitments?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
