10/17 Stalking the Stars

Quote From: marjekas

i am obsessed with jessica simpson. ok, maybe obsessed is a strong word. but i like her a lot. she is pretty and sucsessful. she is not perfect by all means and that makes her a lot more likeable. i wish i could be so carefree and pretty and have a fun career like she does. i wish i could have so much willpower so that i could exercise more and have a body like she. but i dont and i keep putting the weight on. i am embarrassed, i am 26 and i try to be like jessica. she is adorable
 Not to bash Jessica Simpson because I'm sure she's a nice person, however, hasn't any of these stars heard of a little word called modesty??  Sure, she's cute, but I highly doubt people (men especially) are looking at Jessica Simpson and most other celebrities and thinking, "Man, she seems so fun and carefree".  Give me a break.  They're saying to themselves, "Man she's got a hot body!" Personally I think it's sad that women feel they have to use "sex appeal" to be popular.  I would much rather have someone like me for me, not my body.  But hey, I guess sex sells, right?

Call me a bit judgemental but are you SERIOUS???  To quote you... 

  

"i wish i could be so carefree and pretty and have a fun career like she does. i wish i could have so much willpower ......" 

  

Have you read the latest on Jessica???  She is hardly carefree my friend.  All she ever does is cry because of her rollercoaster ride of a marriage or because someone else wants to beat her up.  Her career may be fun but have you seen the stress it puts on her & her relationship???  How can you envy that???  Willpower???  OMG what willpower???  She wanted to pay someone to decorate her house!!! 

  

I'm 27 & believe me I feel for you girl.  But you can't be Jessica Simpson nor will she ever come along & hold your hand & support you on your travels.  It's people like me (& other common folk) that can offer you an ear, advice...  Whatever you need.  I said it before & I'll say it again... 

  

THIS WORLD DOESN'T NEED ANYMORE JESSICA SIMPSON'S!!!!!!!

I've read some of the replies to your message and I'm so sorry these women are coming down on you like this for having a celebrity role model! What is wrong with envying a womens body, career, success, and personality? All of you women know someone(maybe in your group of friends or home town) who you think "has it all" or is "so nice and perfect" and you can't help being a little envious. Sure there lives aren't perfect, in reality they are having fights with their husbands and kids like we all do and struggling with their weight.  When we put people down we are really just hacking away their self esteem and adding to our own.

I am a very big fan of Jessica Simpson, its easy to say "I wish I could be like her", and I think its fine that you want to, but you should be like her for reasons other than because of her body. Its a matter of accepting yourself for who you are, not who you are not. She has worked very hard to get where she is at now, why not be like her in those ways. You dont have to be Jessica Simpson to be carefree or have a good career, you just need to find it in yourself to strive for the things and ambitions you want. Also, its not about getting your body to look like hers, its the notion that you feel good about yourself, or as J.S. would put it, "too feel beautiful in YOUR skin". The better you feel about yourself the more beautiful you are, no matter what your weight.

What you are "obsessed" with is the illusion of Jessica Simpson, not the reality.  She is a marketable package and a tremendous amount of money is spent to present her image to the public so that her investors can earn their profits.  If she is so perfect, why did her marriage fail?  Why has she felt the need to get plastic surgery to correct her alleged flaws? 

  

You talk about willpower, but who is paying you to hire a personal trainer and a chef and get in shape for a movie?  Do you realize that once she signs the contract for the project, the pressure for her to be what they want her to be is enormous.  She can be sued big time if she doesn't comply. 

  

The life of a celebrity is really short-lived.  Jessica is already using up her alotted fifteen minutes of fame and the next "it" girl is waiting in the wings.  Do you not think that she is terrified of losing her edge?  She is well aware that there is no shortage of beautiful young women who can step into her shoes, and her singing voice will not make her a legend.  She is no Streisand!  With a little luck she may be able to follow the footsteps of Suzanne Somers and sell her line of shoes or whatever  on QVC after the spotlight is no longer upon her. 

  

Jessica Simpson will fade into oblivion in time.  Hopefully she will end up happier than a lot of celebrities that have gone before her, but in reality, the odds are against it. 

  

Create a great life of your own.  What you want is atention and recognition.  Do things to get it that are constructive and positive.  We only get one shot at this life and there  will only be one you.

26 Yr. Old Man's Perspective

You are pathetic, how could you buy into something designed as a marketing icon for adolesent girls and/or horny middle aged men.  She represents all that is wrong with our society. You want to be like someone who is mentally dim and materialistic.  Get a real role model and try to be a little less concerned with something so stupid.  She may be a nice piece of ass, but that's it.  She is successful because she had greedy parents who were willing to gamble her life on show business. She is completely isolated from real life and has no clue what real people go through, she is a tool.  I don't care what you look like, being obsessed with jessica simpson or any celebrity is completely unattractive to guys, I am a successful, good looking, college graduate and If you are hot I might spend a night with you, but I would have no interest in every talking to you again.  You should read some books and maybe do some charity work so you can figure out what is really important in life.
