Jessica Simpson has warned fans not to expect any new music from her in the near future – because she’s focusing all her efforts on turning her reality TV show “The Price Of Beauty” into a successful series.

The program follows the singer/actress on her travels across the globe as she learns about local beauty regimes and glamor culture in different countries, documenting the ideologies of African tribeswomen and Japanese Geishas.

And Simpson, who stars in the show with her longtime hairstylist Ken Paves and pal Casey Cobb, is hoping VH1 network bosses give her the green light to proceed with a second series.

She tells MTV News, “Right now, I’m promoting this (show), and hopefully we’ll be doing a season two and hopefully just travel more.”

Simpson coyly reveals she’s also working on a number of other TV projects, the content of which may come as a surprise to her fans: “I’m putting my hands in different things, trying to executive-produce some show ideas. I think people will be very shocked to see what might happen in my life next.”

Despite heavy promotion, the ratings for Jessica Simpson’s VH1 reality show The Price of Beauty were, well, pretty ugly.

Monday’s premiere attracted just 1 million viewers, UsMagazine.com has confirmed. Around 487,000 people tuned in for the encore later in the night.

The show got beat by a rerun of NCIS on USA, a TruTV series called Operation Repo and History Channel’s Pawn Stars, The Los Angeles Times notes.

Even former American Idol Fantasia Barrino had a stronger debut for her VH1 reality show, Fantasia For Real. (Her show premiere nabbed 2.3 million viewers.)

Reviews for The Price of Beauty — which featured Simpson, 29, and her pals traveling around the world to learn how other cultures define beauty — were mixed.

The New York Post called it “dopey and clueless,” while the San Diego Union Tribune said it was “sweet on the outside and a little empty on the inside.”

A VH1 rep tells Us: “We’re very pleased with the show. A million-and-a-half viewers tuned in that night to see the first episode. We expect that audience to build even more.”

Jessica Simpson’s perfect guy?

“I want a confident man,” she said Monday evening on Barbara Walters’ SIRIUS XM Radio show, Here’s Barbara. “A man who understands me and can deal with my life and is not embarrassed of my life. And can support my life. And allow me to be a powerful woman. And allow me to be powerful in the relationship. I’m not going to give up my role in this life to just be a housewife.”

Despite a slew of failed relationships, Simpson — who recently admitted that Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo dumped her on her 29th birthday — says she still loves men.

“What is attractive to me about a man is a man’s spirituality,” she says. “Just the way that he carries himself. I kind of like a rough man a little bit. A man’s man.”

Simpson turns 30 this year. What happens if she doesn’t find The One by the time she’s 40?

“I’m going to have Ken’s baby,” she said, referring to her hairstylist-BFF Ken Paves.

Added Paves, “I think we’d actually have a cute baby.”

Kidding aside, Simpson – who split from husband Nick Lachey in 2005 – said: “I hope to fall in love and do it the picture perfect way.”

Jessica Simpson faced the ladies of The View this morning while promoting her new show The Price of Beauty, but there was a different hot topic the ladies wanted to focus on — John Mayer’s recent Playboy interview. As for being called his “sexual napalm,” Jessica said, “Well, he’ll never have this napalm again.”

“My phone has been ringing,” Jessica explained to the ladies of The View. “It’s more embarrassing because I’ll walk into a restaurant and I’ll notice that more men are looking at me and I feel like they’re undressing me.”

Say ohm!

In her upcoming reality show The Price of Beauty, Jessica Simpson traveled the world with BFFs Ken Paves and Cacee Cobb to learn “what defines beauty” in different cultures.

In this clip, 29-year-old Simpson and her two pals visit a Buddhist temple in Thailand. As a Buddhist monk teaches the trio how to meditate, Jessica can’t help being Jessica.

The single singer visited a “fattening hut” in Uganda, munched on fried cockroaches (they’re hair-healthy!) in Thailand and chatted with super-skinny runway models in Paris.

Can Simpson find her center and keep a straight face?
