Following a year of dodgy performances, Jessica Simpson picked up the mic again to perform the National Anthem Wednesday at the opening ceremony of the Tiger Tourney. She wore a hip-hugging red-and-blue striped dress.
The singer - whose beau Tony Romo participated in the Tiger Woods event - “eventually left the first green before any of her body parts managed to escape,” notes the Washington Post.
Simpson was greeted by a slew of photographers when she first arrived in Washington D.C. Tuesday.
She was jokingly asked if she’s waiting for Romo to win a Super Bowl before she agrees to marry him.
Simpson (who turns 29 July 10) replied, “He’ll win. Tony is playing with Tiger tomorrow. That’s all I’m thinking about.”
Romo recently addressed marriage rumors.
There are “none that I can think of,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “I’m sure you guys can tell me something new here soon enough, though.”
Last week, Simpson confirmed Us Weekly’s original report that she is doing another reality show. The Price of Beauty, which will follow the singer as she travels around the world in search of what people find beautiful, debuts on VH1 in 2010.

Let the pregnancy rumors begin!

No matter where you are in the world, chances are, you know that Jessica Simpson is no stranger to the spotlight. Her hit pop and country songs, movies, television and eponymous collection of shoes, clothes, bags etc. have helped to keep her in America’s eye, but we all know Jessica for more than just her career achievements. Jessica has been followed, studied and scrutinized since she released her first hit single at the age of 19. Now, Jessica turns the tables on our culture and cultures all over the world to find The Price of Beauty, her new original series on VH1.
The new VH1 docu-series takes Jessica all over the world to meet every day women. She may also discover some local pop culture icons on their own quests for beauty along the way. Jessica will study the local fashions, dietary fads and beauty regimes and even participate in some of the extreme practices she discovers.
“When Chris approached me with his idea for a show about true beauty, I was immediately intrigued,” Jessica stated. “I have always believed that beauty comes from within and confidence will always make a woman beautiful, but I know how much pressure some women put on themselves to look perfect. I am really looking forward to discovering how beauty is perceived in different cultures and participating in some of the crazy things people do to feel beautiful. I know we will all learn a lot on this journey and I am so excited that VH1 is coming along on what I’m sure will be a wild ride.”
Chris Coelen, CEO of RDF Media USA, said: “In this series, Jessica will tackle a serious issue with her unique and relatable blend of humor and heart. We’re thrilled to be in business with Jessica, Joe and VH1 on what we know will be an exciting and eye-opening show.”
“Perhaps more than any other pop culture figure on the radar today, Jessica Simpson has been the target of our obsession with beauty on both sides of the equation. She is a woman who can set trends and create firestorms with a single photo,” said Jeff Olde, EVP, VH1 Original Programming & Production. “We could not be more thrilled that Jessica now gets to take control of that conversation and take a look at the idea of beauty through her own unique, unfiltered lens. And we at VH1 are excited to be in the passenger seat next to her as she begins this fantastic journey.”
The Price of Beauty is set to begin shooting in mid July. Executive Producers include Jessica and Joe Simpson as well as Chris Coelen, Claire O’Donohoe and Greg Goldman for RDF USA (Wife Swap, Secret Millionaire). The show will be produced by Jeff Olde, Jill Holmes, Alex Demyanenko and Sean Boyle for VH1 to air in 2010.

The new issue of Us Weekly reports that Jessica Simpson — who endured much body bullying in January for performing in a pair of unflattering high-waisted jeans — recently visited some TV networks to pitch a reality series about society’s scrutiny of women’s bodies.
The premise of the program, titled The Price of Beauty: “She and a friend set off on a road trip around the world in search of what people find beautiful and why,” says a source.
(In a recent Vanity Fair cover story, Simpson talked about criticism of her figure: “It comes with what I do, and I know that every day the media’s going to challenge me.”)
The insider continues that the onetime Newlyweds star, 28, will be hands-on with the show — and will even try some of the “shocking things that women do to make themselves beautiful. Picture Fear Factor.”
The singer’s rep tells Us, “Jessica is indeed working on a new show, but network details have not been finalized at this time.”
