Jessica Simpson Reveals Her Feelings

Jessica Simpson spoke at length with FHM about her success, her sexual status, and her competition among mega-successful entertainers. Simpson is generally considered as the third, albeit lesser sister of an exclusive sorority that includes Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Simpson has been wildly successful in her own right, but has yet to attain the status of Spears and Aguilera. In the FHM article, Simpson quoted the record sales of her teenage competitors, which some have interpreted as masked envy from the former Mickey Mouse Club casualty. Simpson also spoke in some detail about how she lost the Mickey Mouse Club gig to Spears, which came as a huge surprise and served as a much appreciated life lesson for Jessica.

Simpson, the daughter of a preacher and a deeply religious individual, is very open about her preference to maintain her virginity in a society and in an industry from which sex seems to ooze. Her steady boyfriend is Nick Lachey, a member of one of the hottest boy bands around, 98 Degrees. Given her status and the constant comparisons to her contemporaries, Simpson seems to have everything under control, at least for now.

Continuing to perform at her best seems to be Jessica's number one priority, and her growing popularity is a testament to her commitment. The fact that she was the feature story and cover girl for this month's edition of FHM is a good indication of where her career is headed.
