Jessy Simpson is Over the Rainbow

Here we go again. Jessy Simpson will not let this mess die, and I really wish she would. In addition to what was posted in Page Six, she has taken to her website to talk about the "epiphany" she had while she was visiting African children, bringing smiles to their faces by handing out free samples of vanilla flavored lip gloss, and presenting all of the mothers with stilleto heels and matching handbags from her very own line, proclaiming, "You do so much for your children and your village and you deserve something nice...Merry Kwanzaa!" which translates to...nobody in America wants to buy this crap and I can't even give it away at the local TJ Maxx, so here ya go...Happy Christmas! Coincidentally, they are the same shoes and bags that the mothers' kids actually made for pennies on the dollar. She says:

"I went there on our three-year wedding anniversary. He stayed home. On that day, everything became so clear. "I was in hospitals with all these sick kids, and I was looking at the beauty of this whole different world. I just knew I needed to find something more in my life - on my own. "I prayed, then looked up at the sky, and I'd never seen this before - it was a double rainbow. It was the most gorgeous thing ever. "From that moment on, I've listened to Judy Garland's Somewhere Over The Rainbow every single day."

I begin to wonder if she also thought she could double her money by finding BOTH pots of gold at the end of those rainbows? And I have to say, as a gay man, when I come to the conclusion that there is a different world out there every five minutes, I do not listen to Ms. Judy Garland. No I don't. I actually hear the theme song from "A Different World" starring Lisa Bonet and the multitalented Jasmine Guy, because it really is "a different world than where you're comin' from" okaaay. Granted, my different world is nothing like that of a rich black girl who went to and failed out of a mostly black college that somehow admitted Adam Sandler as a student, but like I said...I am gay and that's different too...but not Ken Paves gay. Also, the divorce is tired news. Clearly Nick has moved on with a cardboard cutout, and I think Jessica needs to move on too. I mean...her dad has been waiting in the wings for so long, you would think he would have made his move by now and asked her to be his date to his high school reunion. ENOUGH! [sk]
