Jessica Simpson

Pop starlet and actress Jessica Simpson grew up in Abilene, Texas. Her vocal career began at an early age, singing in the choir at Heights Baptist Church - where her father Joe Simpson was the pastor. The budding starlet independently released her first album at 14, a gospel album titled Jessica. Though a commercial failure, the album attracted the attention of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, who offered Simpson a record deal in the late 1990‘s. Simpson’s family thought his offer too good to refuse - Mottola had been responsible for the mainstream success of a number of pop idols, among them Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey - so Jessica dropped out of high school at age 16 to begin recording full-time, with her father leaving his calling to act as her manager.

Though Simpson’s first two releases - 1999’s Sweet Kisses and 2001’s Irresistible, which sold over 3 million units combined - were moderately successful, Jessica was generally regarded by critics as a forgettable bubblegum pop act. She produced a number of popular singles in her early years ("I Wanna Love You Forever","I Think I’m in Love with You", "Irresistible"), but seemed perpetually in the shadow of pop tarts like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilara.

Jessica was finally thrust into the spotlight in 2003, when Jessica’s marriage to Nick Lachey (formerly of boy-band 98 Degrees) became the subject of an MTV reality show, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. The four-season show eventually lead to the couple’s divorce in 2006, but not before turning the buxom, bubbly Jessica into a pop culture icon. As a result, Jessica’s third major release In This Skin (2003) went on to be phenomenally successful, eventually receiving a Quadruple-Platinum certification from the RIAA. In This Skin produced a number of hits, among them "Sweetest Sin", "With You", and "Take My Breath Away". Jessica’s newfound fame did wonders for the career of her little sister, pop-rock singer Ashlee Simpson, who is now married to Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy.
