Jessica Simpson is going back to her reality TV roots. But if you think the singer is filming another 'Newlyweds'-type show with fiance Eric Johnson, think again. Simpson has been tapped to bring her fashion sense to the small screen as a mentor on NBC's new reality show, 'Fashion Star.'According to E! Online, Simpson will act as a fashion guru on the reality show, which will follow 14 aspiring designers angling to get funding for their own lines. Elle McPherson will host the program, which will be taped in front of a live audience and allow viewers to buy the winning designs after each week's challenge.
The winner will receive a multimillion-dollar contract to have their designs sold in three large American retailers -- something Simpson knows quite a bit about.
It was recently revealed that Simpson, who is best known for her singing career, is well on her way to making a billion dollars in revenue this year from her own fashion line, the Jessica Simpson Collection.

WOW...What a surprise. One would think with all her talent she'd be doing Shakespeare on the London stage.

She might not be doing Shakespeare but she must be doing somebody to get a job where you have to have at least an inkling of fashion sense. With all the money she has at her fingertips, she always looks like she inherited the contents of a thrift store that went out of business in 1970.
Uuuggghhh! Yet ANOTHER reality show with yet ANOTHER celebrity. YAWN. Can't she just stick to singing?

Reality TV...the last refuge for the tragically untalented.
So now she ranks down there with Tia Tequila and Shnooky.
