Despite having lived a good deal of her life under the scrutiny of photographers and TV cameras, Jessica Simpson confesses that she felt so nervous walking the runway at a Paris fashion show last fall that she nearly spilled the contents of her stomach right there and then.

“I almost puked,” the Texas belle revealed at a press conference on Friday morning to promote her upcoming VH1 show, The Price of Beauty, for which the runway segment was filmed. “I was so nervous to walk out there and be judged,” especially with “people who just eat salad.”

And while Jess didn’t upchuck in that particular instance, she confessed, “I throw up in a couple episodes.”

Jeez… We can’t wait.

Said Jessica of the personal journey she takes during the first season of Price of Beauty, “it changed me completely. I didn’t always have the inner confidence. The journey was finding what was beautiful inside me.”

And after her experience on the show, which looks at how other cultures view beauty, Jessica declared, “any man I find — they’re going to be darn lucky!”

On the general obsession with appearances, Jess said, “beauty is an easy thing to be obsessed with in our society [because of] the pressures put on women.”

And when asked her thoughts on cosmetic surgery, the singer diplomatically explained, “I’m not against plastic surgery if it’s for a woman to have confidence. We learn a lot about surgery in Brazil — the largest for butt implants, definitely for plastic surgery.”
