Jessica Simpson to Offer New Lingerie Line

Jessica Simpson and her puppetmasters are set to expand her fashion line to include intimate apparel. The new skivvies and boulder holders will be available in spring 2009.

On the upside for Jessica, this will fatten her pockets so that she can continue to drop bank at La Perla, since I doubt she would buy lingerie anywhere else. On the upside for us common folk, Jessica's status as a well-endowed woman might make for some sensible bras for those of us with big breasteses. On the downside, as Jezebel noted yesterday, "This will provide yet another opportunity for Papa Simpson to make creepy comments about his daughter's considerable assets." Ick. I guess it would be a huge departure for her to add like...I don't know...pink duct tape or something to her fashion line. Anything to cover up Joe Simpson's enormous and always inappropriate maw and prevent him from speaking ever.

Somewhat unrelated, in my internet travels while researching for this story, I found out that Ms. Simpson has embarked on a career in country music and has a new single. I wouldn't be surprised if she is wildly successful in country. It seems to be a less fickle market than pop.
