Jessica Simpson Mobile Wallpaper

Jessica Simpson was born in Abilene, Texas and raised in Richardson, a suburb of Dallas, Texas. She is the daughter of Joe Truett Simpson (a former Baptist youth minister) and Tina Ann Drew (a former Sunday School teacher). She has a younger sister, Ashlee, who launched her own music career in mid-2004. Jessica started singing at the age of twelve as a part of her Baptist church choir. At the same age, she made an unsuccessful application for The New Mickey Mouse Club, which starred fellow pop singers Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, among other future stars.

Simpson attended J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas. She was discovered singing at a church camp by a head of a small contemporary Christian record label and recorded an album over the next three years; however, the label folded before the record could be released. She dropped out in her senior year in order to tour and promote her demo album, which was funded by her grandmother, Joyce (thus the reason for the name of her 2004 holiday album, ReJoyce: The Christmas Album); she later earned her GED. During this time, she toured with the Christian Youth Conference circuit performing with Kirk Franklin, God's Property and CeCe Winans. She and her father sold copies of the album after her performances.

Tommy Mottola of Columbia Records obtained a copy of the album and, thinking she had potential as a pop singer, signed her as such. Christian influences can still be found in much of her music.

Jessica Simpson's next album, And the Band Played On, is set to be released late 2006 with Epic Records, ending her ties with co-owned Columbia Records.

She also expanded her market in the fashion world by announcing the release of her shoe collection to be released in major department stores across the U.S. starting in February 2006. She is also featured in a new Pizza Hut commercial for their new Cheesy Bites Pizza, singing a variation of "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" called "These Bites Are Made For Poppin'"

Jessica Simpson has also started filming her second movie Employee of the Month, with Dane Cook, in New Mexico, as well as being signed on to star in her third movie, Major Movie Star.

Simpson was the subject of a controversial payola scandal when New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer filed a lawsuit on March 8 against Entercom Communications, for accepting gifts and payments in exchange for playing songs by Simpson and others.
