Jessica Simpson is the cover girl for Marie Claire. The singer may not sell records, but she sure can sell a magazine. Check out pictures and bits from her interview here.
Jessica Simpson hasn’t had a successful swimsuit model record in quite a bit, but the girl is a fashionista and people still are interested in her, as long as she’s not singing. Jessica is graces the magazine for the January 09 issue, and gives quite an interesting interview.
Jessica reveals that she may be heading back to school to study religion. Apparently after seeing a Discovery channel special on The Da Vinci Code, Jessica was fascinated.
“I’ve been contemplating taking a college course in religion. I love religion. I remember whenever the book The Da Vinci Code came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I TiVoed and then watched eight times.”
She must have watched it eight times to understand what was going on, cause I don’t think anyone in their right mind would watch something eight times. But this is why we love her; she is a true blonde right down to every last brain cell.
Jessica also reveals that she is “the first person to go to Barnes & Noble and buy the new self-help book.” She also likes to do magazine surveys. “I like to fill out the surveys, then I get my friends’ opinions on how I answered to see if I was being honest with myself or not.”
For more on Jessica in Marie Claire, check out the issue which hits stands Dec 9.

Heidi Klum gives Victoria's Secret models a lesson
Heidi Klum gives Victoria's Secret models a lesson in racy red carpet style as she dazzles in a VERY little black dress. She may be a decade older than most of her counterparts, but Heidi Klum still reigns supreme among the Victoria's Secret troupe of models for swimsuit models and for bikini model also.
The 35-year-old upstaged the next generation of lingerie stars as she rocked the red carpet in a micro black dress in New York City.
The supermodel was out to celebrate the opening of the Victoria's Secret flagship store in Lexington Avenue.
Still super: Heidi Klum looked a knock-out in a micro black dress at a cocktail party to mark the opening of the Victoria's Secret flagship store in New York last night.
Here come the girls: Heidi was joined by Selita Ebanks, Doutzen Kroes, Victoria's Secret CEO Sharen Turney, Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio and Marisa Miller
Marisa Miller, Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr, who are the newest models to be given their wings by the lingerie giant, also turned out for the affair.
The brand's other top models Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Selita Ebanks rounded out the VIP guest list.
Despite the gaggle of gorgeous women it was Heidi, who is married to singer Seal and has three children, that managed to steal the spotlight.
The German blonde is one of the most recognisable and in-demand models on the international circuit.
As well as her Victoria's Secret commitments, she hosts popular fashion show Project Runway and recently filmed a Risky Business inspired ad for video game Guitar Hero.

Heidi Klum Says Her Honeymoon Is Not Overz
Super female model Heidi Klum isn’t just lucky because she has one of the biggest modeling careers ever, she is also lucky in love. Married to singer Seal for the last three years, their relationship isn’t slowing down in the romance department one bit.
“Sometimes I lay in bed and I’m like, ‘Oh, my god, there’s Seal lying next to me. What’s he doing there?’ I get a smile on my face immediately. Our honeymoon period is definitely not over.”
The couple keeps it alive by having frequent dinner dates and going to the movies. Klum also says she has stepped up her style because Seal always looks good. Klum said she makes fun of him because of his leather coat and shoe collection but then in the next breath talks about how hot he always looks. So thank goodness for his shopping obsession - we all reap the benefits.
Heidi and Seal are raising their young sons Henry and Johan and Klum’s daughter Leni, whose father is Formula-1 mogul Flavio Briatore.
Last weekend Klum was in Miami Beach strutting her stuff for the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. We have great pictures of the event here where many bikini models are doing bikini modeling, fashion model.

Kyle Ellison wins Fashion!Dallas / Kim Dawson model search contest
On the runway at Sunday's show at Fashion at the Park, the 10 finalists in the Fashion!Dallas/Kim Dawson Model Search weren't even blinking. Each of them surely hoped Kim Dawson agency director would call their name in male models section. The result? Kyle Ellison, you oughta be in pictures.
“When I was three, I modeled for J.C. Penney,” the Allen-native told us at the finalists photo shoot by model photographer for the Fashion!Dallas/Kim Dawson Model Search. “Maybe that's why it's appealing to me now.” And Kyle was certainly appealing to the judges, who chose him the 2008 winner from a pool of nearly 1,100 applicants. The 6-foot-2 eye technician doesn't just want to be a male model.
“Hopefully modeling will open some doors for me to be an actor, like Shia LeBeouf. I want to do movies like he does.”
Kyle walks away with a modeling contract with Kim Dawson, $1000 in NorthPark Gold — good at any NorthPark Center retailer — and a Toni & Guy national ad campaign. And some serious popularity. He was the runner-up for Reader's Choice winner, pulling in nearly 70,000 votes.
Kyle was the Kim Dawson Agency's winning choice, and readers had theirs. Diaby Mo, Jr. pulled in more than 80,000 votes over the last week from our online and text voting. Diaby is 21 and lives in Fort Worth, working as an Information specialist.
Born in New York City while his West African parents were there on vacation, Diaby came back to the United States ten years ago.
"I love it here," he says. "There's so much opportunity."

Models are too skinny for my size 10 styles, says fashion designer
One of Britain's leading fashion designers has reopened the skinny models debate by revealing she struggled to find models big enough to wear the clothes in her latest fashion show.
When Maria Grachvogel set about preparing her catwalk show at Claridge's this week, she requested size 10 models, only to find that most agencies could only provide models size 8 or smaller.
It was stark proof that in the five years since Grachvogel last staged a catwalk show the accepted standard model size has shrunk from an 8-10 to a 6-8. Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm model agency, said earlier this year:"There is no doubt that in the past few years the girls at the top end have become thinner. You'd have to be a fool not to notice it."
"It was tricky finding models in a size 10," Grachvogel, 39, who has a boutique on Sloane Street, west London, and is stocked in around 15 other boutiques, said this week. "Most of the girls we saw were at least a size smaller than that. I make all my samples in a size 10, and it's nice to be able to show them on a body that fills them out.
"I have always been someone who would request that model agencies send me their curviest girls. But this time even they were too tiny to fill a pair of size 10 trousers and make them look great."
Grachvogel's experience adds a designer name to those of supermodels Kate Moss and Karen Elson as part of a growing number of voices from within the industry speaking out against size zero culture. Commenting on her "waif" years to Interview magazine in August, Moss said she "never liked being that skinny".
The same month Elson spoke out in Vogue magazine about the industry's irresponsible attitude to young models. "I remember I came back from a job in Paris and the stylist said to me, have you been eating too many croissants?" she said.
Model agents have pointed to the shrinking size of catwalk samples as the reason why the girls and women on their books have shrunk.
Most fashion model designers make their samples using a single "fit model" whose measurements tally with the contemporary catwalk model.
"I prefer not to use a fit model, but instead to make size 10 samples and then try them out on as many women as possible. Most of the women I work with in the studio and shop are a size 8, 10 or 12, and they all try the clothes on. That way, I can find the cut that will fit and flatter most body shapes," Grachvogel said.
Retailers who sell Grachvogel's trousers have dubbed them "magic pants" for their ability to flatter almost all women. "I work with the body, not against it," said Grachvogel, who founded her label in 1994 and counts Angelina Jolie and Marie Helvin amongst her client list. She also designs a budget range of clothes and furniture for online catalogue Oli.
At her Claridge's show the "jabot" - a ruffled organza neckpiece which can turn a simple blouse into an evening look - was being heavily promoted as a tool for credit crunch glamour.
At the side of her catwalk, Grachvogel was pointing out the models she had found with what she calls "a bit of shape". A model sashaying in across the Claridge's drawing room in a satin crepe catsuit caught her eye. "She's got a proper bottom, that one," said Grachvogel approvingly.
