Jessica Simpson? Is that you?

Allegedly...this is Jessica Simpson on the cover of Elle magazine. You wouldn't know it though since it looks more like a caricature.
Oh, and apparently she's gone country. What's the deal with downgrading to country? Is it because it's easier to be successful in that genre? Michelle Branch did it a while back once she started going downhill in pop music. Maybe Jessica saw the writing on the wall and decided to jump in the kiddie pool of music. It's like she took her Daisy Duke character from Dukes of Hazzard and decided to make a career of it.
