Celebrities as parents....

My recent readings of gossip regarding celebrities, courtesy of MSNBC's scoop today:

"More details are coming out about Jessica Simpson’s plans to adopt. The recently separated ex-reality star has said she wants to adopt needy children like Angelina Jolie. Now, In Touch Weekly is reporting that Simpson hopes to open an orphanage in Mexico and adopt two children. . . . "

First let me just say. There was time when I thought Jessica Simpson was cool. But that was back when she didn't say much, looked pretty, and wore clothing without her breasts almost falling out of them.

And then she got married.

And it was like... it gave her free reign to toss away her clean image and show the true pornographic side of who she was... because after all, she's married now. It didn't help matters that her dad would talk to the press about how sexy she was and how huge her breasts were.

I mean I can't bring myself to buy lingerie for my cousin's wedding shower because I don't want to know about any aspect of that side of her relationship with her husband to be.

Now, she is talking about adopting needy children? Using Angelina Jolie as her inspiration?

First of all, Angelina may have been a little off kilter - what with making out with her brother and wearing Billy Bob's blood. But you know what, I always liked her. Despite her oddities, there was something about her that just said to me, "she's just looking for meaning in her life." She never sounded nuts in her interviews or drugged up. She was perfectly cognizant of what she was doing and she didn't care because she makes her decisions on her own terms. That's why people admire her. That's why Brad has trailed her everywhere. She's about as real as you can get in Hollywood. Do I think Brad is good enough for her? No. But I don't think anyone could be. She's too much of her own person. I admire her becuase if I were in her shoes, I'd have probably liked to think that I'd have acted the same way. Although I'm still pretty wussy.

Having said that.

Jessica Simpson is too full of herself to be a mother. I saw the first season of Newlyweds. It was like watching a train wreck. I couldn't believe Nick Lachey fell in love with her. They really must not have spent very much time together prior to getting married. The girl can't do laundry? She doesn't pick up her clothes? I suppose I have to give her kudos for trying... but... seriously... for being a over publicized B list celebrity... I really think she thinks too highly of herself.

Jessica Simpson is no Angelina Jolie and adopting a couple of "needy" children is not going to fix her image. I don't know her personally. But I find it appalling that she feels she needs to publicize this - if it really mattered to her, she wouldn't need so much attention.
