Jessica Simpson is rich

Jessica Simpson has been offered $35million to stay with Columbia Records, her label since 1998. The deal will pay her for four original albums and a Greatest Hits album, and make her the youngest recording artist to ever recieve such a lucrative contract. A spokesperson for Columbia told the Hollywood Reporter:

“Jessica Simpson is one of the most consistent, hard-working artists we have on our roster. She really has earned this deal.”

When asked for a comment, ex-husband Nick Lachey mumbled something incoherent because of the shotgun in his mouth. Then he took it out and cried for a while, but that didn’t makes things clearer at all. What a dick!
