Jessica Simpson: blonde, army-bound

Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson's dad, Joe Simpson, is a smart guy. He's taken a page out of Goldie Hawn's old playbook and put singer-daughter Jessica into a "Private Benjamin" for 2007. That was the word from Joe on Saturday night at Vanity Fair's annual affair at the very, very, very expensive and posh Hotel du Cap in Antibes.

"Major Movie Star" is all about a blond bombshell ingénue who winds up in the U.S. Army. Hilarity ensues, hopefully, since Jessica has gone blonde again for the role. "Major Movie Star" is the second of three cinematic efforts Jessica's got cooking right now. The first, "Blonde Ambition," is done, although she will be recording a track for the end credits. She'll do the same for "Major Movie Star." And then, at 26, the world is her oyster. That is, if the tabloids will just leave her alone.

But Simpson and sister Ashlee are among the clique of celebrities who've found a weekly home in the glossies whether they like it or not. It must be a very weird existence, I said. Don't you have to put up a wall and not think about it? "It's hard," she replied. "You have no idea."

Meanwhile, Jessica also told me she's gotten a lot of positive reinforcement from another singer who's been through the mill and come out the other side a success: Mariah Carey. "She's amazing," Jessica said.
