First we had Lindsay Lohan trying to recreate Marilyn Monroe. Now, there is Jessica Simpson trying to recreate the famous Virna Lisi cover from Esquire. It is not that I don’t like the cover shot, because I do, I just wish the photographer could have used his imagination instead of trying to just redo an iconic shot. As for the rest of the shoot, it doesn’t seem to serve any purpose other than showing us presumably how Jessica showers, but wearing clothes. She tries to create controversy by showing some bare nipple which could have easily been airbrushed out. She knows it is there, and Pimpa knows it is there and Pimpa probably stared at it a good long time before approving it. It is kind of like someone said, “hey, you are not getting enough attention and your career is in the crapper, go out and show some nipple.” “Your star has not fallen off the earth quite like Lindsay yet so you don’t need to strip. But, if your next album sucks and Tony Romo dumps you, then Playboy it will be. Or porn.”

Pop singer Jessica Simpson is feeling “much better” after being hospitalized with a kidney infection on Friday. Simpson was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a “minor kidney infection” and was released today. Simpson spokeswoman Lauren Auslander said the 27-year-old singer-actress is feeling “much better now.”According reports, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Simpson’s current squeeze, wanted to be by Simpson’s side but had prior commitments in Dallas. Simpson is currently working on a country music album.

Jessica Simpson was sent home from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after being treated for a kidney infection. In Touch was first to break the news that the star went to the hospital on Friday, after not feeling well. “She was hospitalized for a kidney infection, but she has been released and is doing fine,” her rep tells In Touch. “She checked in on Friday morning because she was feeling achy and had a fever,” a friend of the family says. “She is so happy she is out and feeling great.”

DON’T expect to see Ashlee Simpson back on “Saturday Night Live” any time soon to promote her new album “Bittersweet World.” An insider said her father, Joe Simpson, “wanted her to go on ‘SNL’ - where her first appearance, in 2004, was marred by her lip-synching fiasco - and they said no.” Word is Ashlee was “a pain” during her time at “SNL” and the producers have notoriously long memories. A rep for Ashlee said, “We’re not doing ‘SNL’ because they’re dark the week we are here in April and there were no other opportunities later in the year.”

I don’t see anything special here. Average body in an expensive swimsuit. In case you are wondering how I know it’s expensive, I am going by the hoop you can see on her right hip. Pretty much the tell-tale on that. Don’t get me wrong, for a pale girl that has a load of saltwater eating off her makeup, she sure doesn’t look bad. I mean, I would take her out for a night at the ole’ Olive Garden. I would even splurge and order the Tour of Italy and the endless jug of wine.

And I would tell her that she is so pretty.

Ashlee Simpson will launch a collection of tops for teen apparel retailer Wet Seal on the same day as the release her new CD “Bittersweet World,” on April 22.

Ashlee Simpson’s personality, sense of style and album artwork are said to be the inspiration behind the collection. Each piece has the distinctive Ashlee touch and will be priced in line with Wet Seal merchandise.

“I was inspired by so many fun, wonderful things as I was recording Bittersweet World and it’s been great to carry through those inspirations into these new shirt designs,” said the 23-year-old singer. “I hope my fans love this album and rock out in these shirts!”

To mark the launch of the collection, Wet Seal will also be retailing the much awaited new release from Ashlee–Bittersweet World. Wet Seal operates 494 stores in 47 states, and the CD will be available at all locations, as well as online at wetseal.com.

“Ashlee is a role model for our girl and her fun and flirty sense of style is an inspiration for the line.

Ashlee Simpson has come a long way since being a style wallflower in the shadow of older sister Jessica.

“I used to look at a beautiful girl on the cover of a magazine and think I could never be that,” the 23-year-old singer tells Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

But Simpson – who has churned through countless haircuts and colors over her six years of stardom – has graced recent covers of Cosmopolitan, CosmoGirl! and Seventeen.

Now she’s the cover girl on Us’ 2008 Beauty Makeover Special issue, which includes 30 pages of bonus makeovers, tips, and star style.

“I definitely embrace my sexy side, but at the end of the day, I still feel like the girl next door,” she tells Us. “I like to get dressed up now, and that’s something I’ve never been into before.”

Simpson also opens up to Us about her April 2006 rhinoplasty. “I think as long as people have two eyes, then you probably know the answer,” she says.

“[Plastic surgery] is something that everybody should think about for a really long time,” she tells Us. “Once you know it’s something you really feel comfortable with, then to each their own.”

Still, the singer downplays her own transformation. “I was never really unhappy with how I looked, [and] I don’t think I am more beautiful than I was [before],” Simpson tells Us. “I just see the same old goofy girl I see every day.”
