Jessica Simpson to Be Fashion Mentor on New Reality Show

Jessica Simpson to Be Fashion Mentor on New Reality Show

Jessica Simpson is heading back to reality TV! This go 'round, the hugely successful fashion maven will be taking her place as a celebrity mentor on NBC's new show, Fashion Star.

Simpson, who famously documented her marriage to ex-husband Nick Lachey on Newlyweds and toured the word in The Price of Beauty, will be leaving her personal life out of this show. That's right, this is not a show about her upcoming wedding to fiance Eric Johnson. Instead, she will be coaching aspiring designers who are vying for a huge contract to launch their own fashion lines.

"NBC is delighted to work with singer, designer, actress and pop culture icon Jessica Simpson," said Paul Telegdy, NBC and Universal Media Studios executive vice president. "With an almost billion-dollar lifestyle brand under her belt she is sure to be an excellent mentor to our up-and-coming designers."

Supermodel Elle McPherson will be hosting the new show that NBC promises will be a "true spectacle." The series will be taped in front of a live studio audience and will feature a slew of music, dancers mixed in with the weekly challenges.

Sounds fun and just up Jessica's alley! We've always found Simpson down to earth and approachable (not to mention goofy and self-deprecating in a cute way) and think she'll be awesome mentor for those trying to break in to the fashion biz.
