My Fair Lady

Jessica Simpson graces the June cover of Vanity Fair, and it's pretty safe to say that we can put the Chili Cookoff trauma behind us - girlfriend is looking GREAT! As if posing for sexy pictures wasn't enough to catch our attention, Jess has plenty of interesting things to say in the interview...

On the media and all the nasty articles written about her:

“When it comes to media criticism, that’s just something I have had to train myself - literally train myself - to ignore. Because I’m the one up there onstage, and I can feel the energy of the crowd. And I know when I did good. And I know when I did great. And there wasn’t one time on this tour when I felt like I butchered it. I mean, the way people make it sound, I should have never been singing in the first place...I can’t imagine saying some of the things people have said about me about anybody else."

On her relationship with her father:

"I can talk to my dad like he’s my manager, and put ‘Dad’ on the back burner. We’ve been doing it since I was 13. So, at this point, we’re in a good rhythm. A lot of people find it strange, but it’s the only way I know. And I don’t care to know another way, because it suits me. And we’ve done a pretty dang good job."

On ex-hubby Nick Lachey and Newlyweds:

"I have not spoken to him in years....in all honesty, I believe [the show] did not affect our marriage. Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish. It made me understand what marriage is, what love is, what commitment is."
