Jessica Simpson is one smart cookie. The oldest daughter of Joe and Tina Simpson has worked some marketing magic and turned herself from a pop singer to a brand name. Simpson released her first single I Wanna Love You Forever in 1999 to a musical scene swimming with singers like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera but carved out a niche. Singing flirty love songs, I Think I`m In Love With You, and ballads, Where You Are, Simpson not only rose in popularity but chronicled her romance with, 98 Degrees` Nick Lachey. The couple married in 2002 and starred in MTV`s popular Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. The show highlighted Simpson`s dumb blonde persona, something Simpson used to her advantage netting Pizza Hut and Icebreakers endorsements and in the hit song With You. Though the couple separated in 2005, Simpson parlayed her new found television fame into movie roles, starring in The Dukes of Hazzard, Employee of The Month and yet-to-be-released Blonde Ambition. Since her divorce, she has been linked to John Mayer, Dane Cook, Adam Levine and Owen Wilson. The singer actively supports Operation Smile and is a spokesperson for Proactiv. She has a line of hair products with Ken Paves.
