Jessica Simpson has been the victim of abuse.
The country bumpkin makes the startling admission in the September issue of Elle magazine, where she reveals a song written for her forthcoming country album was based on her own experiences.
When asked by the interviewer if she has ever been physically abused, she replied: “I don’t want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run.”
In one of the tracks, Remember That, Jessica sings:
“It doesn’t matter how he hurts you
With his hands or with his words
You don’t deserve it
It ain’t worth it
Take your heart and run.”
As for Jessica’s beau Tony Romo? She says they’re a match made in hillbilly heaven. “Most of the guys I dated were captivated by my heart, but they had different ways of trying to get to me. Tony understands me,” she says. “He appreciates my talent. He’s the first person I’ve spiritually connected with.”
Jessica’s first country album, Do You Know?, is slated to hit shelves on September 9. Her issue of Elle hits newsstands August 11.

Jessica Simpson paid her quarterback boyfriend Tony Romo a visit at Dallas Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, CA yesterday.
Tony rushed back from practice to pick up his lady love at her hotel for a romantic dinner date. Jessica seemingly had trouble with her long maxi dress as she had to hold it up and try not to trip over her platforms. Eventually, she gave up asked Tony to hold her hand to help her walk and the two lovebirds had a good laugh about it.
As for whether Jessica will continue to distract her football player beau during the season? “She’s coming to the games this year, so you better get ready,” said papa Joe Simpson during an afternoon practice on Sunday.
He also offered a quick scouting report on Tony, the inspiration for the song You’re My Sunday on Jessica’s upcoming country album.
“He better have the year of his life,” he said. “I hope he does. He works hard – always working his game, always thinking about it.”

Jessica Simpson intended to awe but managed to shock in a below knee length charcoal Ikat print silk dress on a visit to a night spot in the Flatiron District, NYC, with friends last night.
She paired the dress with matching colour gladiators revealing her fuchsia toes. She used a natural look make up and her two tone blond hair was swept up on top with the long wavy tresses falling over her shoulders.
Jessica’s attire, a cross between a cocktail dress and a gown, did well to accentuate her well groomed feet and gladiator footwear but made her look formless and stocky.
Though she is a fashion designer, Jessica’s sartorial sense has been suspect. So far she has confined her creativity to designing footwear and handbags, and has done pretty well.
In Spring 2009 she plans to launch a contemporary line of dresses. Let’s hope she has some better luck!

After arriving late last night in New York City (and then clearly getting her roots did), a glammed up Jessica Simpson was seen leaving the Ritz Carlton Hotel today en route to the Steiner Studios in Brooklyn.
The marketing magnate is currently shooting the new holiday television ad campaign for Macy’s department stores.
As FYB first reported, Jessica just inked a deal for a full line of dresses slated to launch in Spring 2009 in department and specialty stores.
Says the budding designer: “I’m extremely excited. I plan on creating beautiful dresses in distinctive fabrics and silhouettes that are reflective of my personal style.”
Miss Simpson already has successful lines of purses, jewelry, clip-in hair extensions, outerwear and footwear. Her shoe line alone is estimated to rake in over a $250 million this year!
With a cashflow like this, who cares if she knows the diffence between tuna and chicken?

The paparazzi played the role of Jessica Simpson’s personal welcoming committee as they snapped the blonde beauty leaving LAX in Los Angeles then arriving at JFK in New York City yesterday.
Joined by her trusty travel companion Daisy, the young country bumpkin was all smiles upon her arrival in the Big Apple despite a delayed flight.
So, what’s Jessica doing in NYC anyway? She’ll be shooting the new holiday television ad campaign for Macy’s department stores bright and early Thursday morning.
Jessica just signed a license deal with G-III Apparel to create a line of contemporary dresses. And before you scoff, peep this: the Camuto Group (the folks who hold the master license for Jessica Simpson brand products) also call Tory Burch, BCBG Max Azria and Nicole Miller their clients. In other words, they know what they’re doing. It isn’t going to be “just another celebrity vanity project.”
Stay tuned for a sneak peek of Jessica’s hot new line!

Pup Daisy and her beau Tony Romo were on hand backstage yesterday to lend some support after Jessica Simpson finished her first live performance in 3 years debuting music from her forthcoming country album at the 16th Annual Country Thunder USA in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin.
Attempting to chip away at the country music faithful, the former pop and reality TV star’s set was sandwiched between American Idol reject Kellie Pickler and Dancing with the Stars alum Sara Evans.
Once Jessica hit the stage, she declared: “I don’t know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy, but I just want you to know that I’m just a girl from Texas; I’m just like you. I’m doing what I love and dating a boy.”
And it doesn’t sound like Miss Simpson is treating country music like a momentary diversion; before exiting the stage she announced she has no plans to produce a pop album again.

The
Simpson sisters’ Lake Tahoe festivities continue!
Jessica and Ashlee were snapped relaxing on a luxury yacht yesterday after watching Jessica’s beau Tony Romo play golf on the 17th hole of the Edgewood course from the lake during the American Century Championship.
Pregnant Ashlee rubbed her stomach while attention-loving Jessica held up her dog Daisy for photographers to see.
As for how Tony did in the tournament? He shared third place with former NHL goaltender Grant Fuhr. Former major league pitcher Rick Rhoden came on top for the seventh year in a row.

Joined by sister Ashlee and her hubby Pete Wentz, a dolled up Jessica Simpson added some star power to Tony Romo’s cheering squad as he played at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe on Saturday.
And while Jess may be all but a curse for Tony on the footbal field, it appears she’s quite the good luck charm on the golf coarse. Tony is currently in second place only next to six-time champion Rick Rhoden.
After a long swinging and putting and whatever else it is that golfers do, Tony and Jessica ditched the old married couple (a.k.a. Mr. and Mrs. Wentz) and headed straight to Harvey’s Lake Tahoo Outdoor Amphitheater to catch girl band Heart live on stage.
We’re gonna go out on a limb here and say that Tony is likely the first and only professional athlete who has ever seen a live performance by Heart.

Jessica Simpson was spotted arriving in Lake Tahoe on Friday where she’s set to join beau Tony Romo at the American Century Championship Celebrity Golf Tournament.
After spending the entire week celebrating her birthday with friends and family in L.A., the 28-year-old country bumpkin and her knocked up sister Ashlee headed north for a little R&R.
Meanwhile, CLICK HERE to check out Jessica’s brand spankin’ new video for her new single, Come on Over.
The Liz Friedlander-directed video was shot in L.A. last month. Jessica is seen in her signature cowboy boots belting out her sure-to-be sit in a makeshirt outdoor studio.
Our thoughts?
