Jessica Simpson is featured in the new issue of Marie Claire and opted for the zero retouching and zero airbrush look…and it continues to work /I love it. The writer from Yahoo OMG! really nailed it with this, so I’m just gonna repeat what they said: To me, Jess looks far more beautiful when she’s snapped at the airport sans makeup, in casual jeans, and with her hair loose and wavy than when she’s all dolled up for a premiere in an uncomfortable-looking gown. Here’s some highlights from that interview and a few snapshots. I think Jessica looks great without makeup (and I’ve thought that since Newlyweds).

On not having anything to prove: I don’t have anything to prove anymore. What other people think of me is not my business.

On the media frenzy that was “mom jeans”: After everything I’ve gone through this past year with people just being fixed on me gaining some weight, that was really hard on me to be in the media all the time and to be … scrutinized like that. I was paranoid. Everywhere I would go, people would say, ‘Oh, you’re not that fat!’ That was a very difficult time for me.

On how her new show, The Price of Beauty, helped her: I really found confidence within myself. I do think we put too much pressure on women to be beautiful, and to be perfect. The show was my own search to find my own beauty within.

How she likes her hair: If I’m in a mood to go out and feel hot and sexy, I want long hair that I can feel on my back. But I also like bed head.

One of my favorite Jessica Simpson songs of all time. I’ve seen her perform this song live twice (Allure concert in central park and then it was the opening number of Jessica’s Reality concert tour). One of the greatest feel-good songs ever. Definitely a throwback, but worth it nonetheless. Enjoy. Anyone else want Jessica to go back to her pop vocal days? YES. YES. YES.

I dunnooo what’s gotten into meee but I kinda think I know what it issssss, I think I’m in loooove

Where are my Nick & Jessica fans at? I ate that shit like it was Popeye’s (why did I do that to myself at 2 am, when I know it’s closed). But for real, I’ve been a Jessica Simpson fan since the “I Think I’m In Love With You” days and more recently (5 years ago) during the “In This Skin” album and reality TV show/tour days. I’ve been looking forward to this new show, The Price of Beauty just because I love Jessica on the screen just being herself. She’s not a great actress, but she’s a great Jessica Simpson. I say so many weird things in a day.

Here’s Jessica Simpson’s interview with Oprah, where she talks about that dumpster John Mayer, her new show, life in the public eye, and more. Enjoy.

Jessica Simpson – Irresistable

-Jessica Simpson talking in the March 2010 issue of Allure magazine (they have a really good relationship).

-Jessica Simpson talking about never willing to go completely nude for a movie role, even if it’s Oscar-worthy. At least she’s positive about the future it sounds. Also, Jessica Simpson is the hottest.
