1-MINUTE RESUME FOR JESSICA SIMPSON
At 12, she was turned down for the
Mickey Mouse Club
(of which Britney Spears was a member), but she managed to get her
singing career off the ground and became opening act for then-boyfriend
Nick Lachey's boy band, 98 Degrees. Eventually, her star eclipsed
Lachey's, in part because of their hit MTV show,
Newlyweds. A pop idol for her singing career and TV show before ever attempting movies, Simpson made her on-screen debut in
The Dukes of Hazzard. Not the most auspicious start (hey, she did turn down
Coyote Ugly), but it was her first attempt at something new.
5 Things:
1. She announced on TV that she would remain a virgin until her wedding night.
2. She reportedly has an IQ of 160.
3. Her dad is a psychologist and Baptist minister in addition to managing her career.
4. She hates massages.
5. One of the people she most admires is Dolly Parton.
Quote:
"Nick and I both feel the weight of the tabloids on our shoulders. As
long as we don't believe it, as long as we love each other and we're
strong, everything is workable. I don't even know if that's a word, but
it sounds right."
