Fug the Cover: Jessica Simpson

Wow, since when did Jessica Simpson lose every single line in her face?

Please please please please tell me this is what we old fogies used to call air-brushing (every time I use the phrase “air-brushing,” I get an email which reads, basically, “IT’S CALLED PHOTOSHOP YOU IGNORANT OLD BAG!!!!” and I do understand that almost no one actually “air-brushes” anymore, but it’s just such an evocative phrase that I like to keep it circulating) and J. Simp didn’t get an eyelift and beaucoup Botox. I spent ten minutes at my corner market today staring at this cover, Diet Coke in one hand and a bag of half-off Halloween candy in the other, trying to figure out if she looked good here or not. And then I realized, if I have to think about it, the answer is probably no.
