Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson has reportedly signed an incredible multi-million deal to sray with her recording label. Simpson signed an astounding $35 million deal to remain with Columbia Records, the label she’s been with since 1998, according to the Toronto Fashion Monitor.
“Jessica Simpson is one of the most consistent, hard-working artists we have on our roster,” a spokesman for the label tells the Hollywood Reporter. “She really has earned this deal. But this wasn’t an exchange of money for guaranteed anything.”
 

“I am so excited with this new deal and I’m looking forward to finishing my upcoming album,” Jessica Simpson said in a statement. “Columbia has been my home since the beginning of my career. I am happy to be continuing the relationship and I look forward to working on new things with my extended family.”

Jessica Simpson’s enormous contract now makes her the youngest artist ever to have such earning power.

Simpson will reportedly release four new albums and one greatest-hits compilation, and according to the contract, will get $8 million up front. However, since her divorce with Nick Lachey is not finalized yet, he could end up with half of that dough.

Who can understand the value of each word more than a singer? Hot pop star Jessica Simpson has come up with a unique arrangement with the makers of her new comedy film, ‘Employee of the Month’, which says she will charge $1,240 for every word in the film. According to In Touch weekly, the actress will be paid $1 million for the film in which her character will speak a total of 806 words. In addition, she will collect $267,000 as perk package.

The Film, directed by Greg Coolidge, is currently being shot in New Mexico. People magazine reported that Gov. Bill Richardson and his wife Barbara of New Mexico hosted a dinner for Simpson and her parents, Joe and Tina, on Thursday at the New Mexico governor’s mansion. Jessica’s costar, Dane Cook also joined in for the dinner.

Though Jessica’s character in the new comedy is not as sexed up as that of Daisy’s in ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’, she does appear in one scene clad in a bikini. Jessica, plays the role of a new hottie cashier in a Costco-like store who has two of her co-workers, played by Dax Shephard and Efren Ramirez, battling to win her affections.
