Viceland - MEET AND GREET - Jessica Simpson is a Powderpuff

I'm one of those people who is a Whitesnake fan. I'm also one of those people who went to a Michael Jackson concert when I was in my teens. He came to Chicago around 1986, and I was very excited. But my very first concert was basically a Tiffany concert. And I saw New Kids on the Block. That was the first time I saw the boys in concert—they were the opening act for Tiffany. One of my favorite moments, however, was meeting Jessica Simpson.

I was 21 when I first met Jessica Simpson. She was born on July 10, 1980. When I first met her about six years ago, she was still pretty young. Her aunt was right next to me at a promotion deal that my dad and I went to. She was promoting her first album. It was called Sweet Kisses. My father worked for Baker and Taylor Entertainment. Baker and Taylor Entertainment is one of those huge companies that contributes computer software, music, books — you name it, they've got everything. My dad was the director of… the director of something.

The promotion was at a bar in Chicago, on the North side, at Green Dolphin Street, on Ashland. The Green Dolphin Street Bar and Grill. She sang a few songs. She did "I Want to Love You Forever." One of the songs I really wanted to hear was the one that went, "Do you ever love somebody…" It was from Dawson's Creek. I would say that was ‘98. My favorite was James Van der Beek.

Then I got to speak with Jessica Simpson for a couple minutes. Some of the conversation I wanted to mention to her was the fact that someday I was going to meet her and her husband. I told her that I wanted to meet her husband if she ever got married. I was very spiritual that if she ever got married, that I would want to be her very first fan. Like that I would still be thinking about her and her family, and would be her number one fan.

This was before she became this ditzy bimbo that she is now. Her husband Nick seems to me to be more of a football star. But she seems like someone who would play powderpuff football. That's when you don't tackle, when you just grab the flags. Nick seems like too nice a guy to me to have her.

If I could meet her again now, I think I would say, "Jessica I wish I could have met more of your family this time, including Ashlee. Because Ashlee and I have one thing in common. Our birthdays are on the same day."

What about Dawson? I reckon Pacey was always better than Dawson, he had such verve. He had real depth and moral vissicitudes.

Best Scene .... Dawson´s father tells him to........."seize the day Dawson,....Seize it" He then leans in and sniffs his son/ the air around his son. Weird, but powerful.

Who admits to being a liberal? Say you're a leftist, a marxist, a marxist-leninist, a maoist, a social democrat, a socialist, a green communitarian libertarian insurrectionist festivalist situationalist syndicalist but PLEASE! No Liberals!

Why Russ Courtnall? Are you proud to be Canadian but can't say it because of our pathological modesty?

I hate gato. I don't want to make friends and calm him down. You shouldn't either.

I agree with that other person earlier, why does Wendy the dumb hipster have to be leftist? I'm really liberal and I don't hate the mentally ill and I also believe in God. So why don't we stop all this partisan stuff and just figure Wendy as an independant who probably doesn't vote? Deal?

why does that dumbshit wendy have to be a pseudo-leftist? id think that retard hating would be more of a right-type thing.. btw, I didnt really get that success/failure counterpoint implicit in the article, thanks. you're kind of callow, though, too.

Wendy, you are obviously a dumb, rich callow, shallow psuedo-leftist. Or at least shallow yourself.

The whole point of the article, juxtaposed against the video and the text is to show the subject as a once vibrant normal child who projected her dreams on the up-and-coming people she met through her father's work.

Then, we see the split that happens between her 'failure' and Jessica Simpson's 'success.' I ties into the whole idea of who is visible and invisible.

I want to make a fake World Indie Trade Center and tell all the dumb fucking hipsters like you Wendy that there is an interview for signing people to labels or some such crap then run a couple planes into it. Maybe I'll get your hero Ward Whateverhisnameis from Colorado to fly the planes -- oh yeah, bell fucking hooks can co-pilot and all the dumb shitheads like you will go up in flame...especially with all the vintage synthetics you wear.

Just throw a few iPods out the window before you jump and splatter.

Dumb fucking idiot you are.

jesus christ...
it's so shocking to see that there are people who actually give a fuck about jessica simpson. i've never associated with starstruck pop fans in my entire life and their fascination with all things retarded disgusts me.
it seems like such a waste of one's own life to idolize low grade humans. or god.

Dear Alison,
If you didn't notice, this entire issue was done by residents of a mental health facility. It wasn't written by Vice. Real cute of you to piss on the writing of a mentally ill person. Fuck YOU!
I bet you got here via the Gawker link.

PEACE.

So why not actually shed some light on the topic? Maybe more about her personality, how people reacted to her, what evidence you saw from that event that may have turned her into what she is today? All I see in here is faux-gravitas bullshit. Not that I expect any sort of social commentary or sincerity from Vice. "If you want that, read the New Yorker," you're probably saying.
You know what would be really subversive? Actually caring.
