Jessica
Ann Simpson (born July 10, 1980, in Abilene, Texas) is an American
pop singer and actress who rose to fame in the late 1990s. She has
achieved seven Billboard Top 40 hits, and has two gold and three
multi-platinum RIAA-certified albums. Simpson starred with her
then-husband Nick Lachey in the MTV reality show Newlyweds: Nick
and Jessica. She has also begun working as an actress, and is the
older sister of Ashlee Simpson, an internationally successful pop
rock singer and actress. In 2001, Simpson recorded a follow-up
album with what Columbia considered more radio-friendly, up-tempo
tracks. The result in that was Irresistible, released in mid-2001
on the heels of the title-track first single.
"Irresistible" became one of the biggest hits of her
career; it peaked at # 15 on the Hot 100. "Irresistible"
debuted at # 6 in June 2001 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart, and
has sold 825,000 copies to date. Luke Wilson co-starred with
Simpson in her third film, Blonde Ambition, which was leaked
online in December 2007. The movie was released on DVD the
following month. Jessica's father Joe Simpson stated to People
magazine on September 11, 2007, that Jessica is considering doing
a country album. Joe told People that Jessica is "talking
about doing a country record and going back to her roots, being
from Texas.", The country album has been confirmed for a 2008
release, via Columbia Records ... more |
