Jessica Simpson.
Until now, I've studiously avoided the television car crash that is, The Newlyweds, but this afternoon, caught an episode.
I'm not going to waste my time and yours cataloging how dumb this pop bimbo is, because if I did, we'd be here all day. There's talk that some of the on-screen dumbness is fake, just for the cameras. Having watched a whole 1.5 episodes, I get the feeling that it's all genuine.
Quite how she's gotten to be that rich and famous, with the intelligence of an eight year-old, is beyond me. Is America that shallow, that her looks (with absolutly no brains) did it? I rather fear, the answer is yes.

More for next year Max. And since I'm sure you didn't see all the episodes the first time around, the reruns will be playing for years to come on MTV. They were thinking of you, how sweet.
"Platypus? I thought it was pronounced platymapus. Has it always been pronounced Platypus?"
...God bless the USA...
My own personal favourite, was:
"My teacher asked the class to name the five continents. I knew the answer, I said, 'A, E, I, O, U!' "
This is the double-dumbness-whammy of her confusing continents with consonants, and then reciting vowels not consonants anyway.
It's quotes like that that make me wonder if some of the dumbness is an act for the camera. I mean, surely no-one's' THAT stupid?
Posted by: Max on June 16, 2004 07:30 AMWell, MY personal favorite is that she just sued some production company for $140,000 -- and won -- because they didn't pay her some ungodly amount of money after she wore their T-shirt in public. Apparently, her obscene stupidity had made her rich, but not rich enough, damnit!
