And Jessica Simpson is a big star because...?
Ken, as someone with daughters in the target market who might know: Why is Jessica Simpson popular? Is she one of those famous-for-being-famous people, like a modern-day Zsa Zsa Gabor? -- Hanneh Kalysouf
I've just collared the nearest offspring, and I quote: ''She's
funny, she's pretty, and maybe she's dumb, but she seems nice.'' Your astute Zsa Zsa comparison went over her head, but I think it's perfect. Simpson had a big career in pop music before her
mainstream MTV success. For most people, though, she's like Zsa Zsa
and her sister Eva were 40 years ago: glossy blondes who came on
like bubbleheads, but were shrewd about celebrity. Which in turn
sparks an idea: Why are Jessica and hubby Nick Lachey reviving the
network variety show when they should be remaking ''Green Acres''?
