Jessica vs. Jessica

Posted Jul 27th 2006 3:10PM by TMZ Staff

With only a month to go until the release of her new CD "A Public Affair," Jessica Simpson has already switched the cover picture of the album.

Last week the cover art for the CD surfaced showing a sultry Jessica with her hair down, sporting a strapless dress. But it looks as if the Simpson camp changed its mind and decided to go with more of a girl-next-door look. Jessica's rep Rob Shuter tells TMZ the final decision on a cover had not been made by the time one had to be provided to Jess' record label, so the first cover option (of three choices they had) was given. That cover was ultimately not chosen and Jessica went with the cover shown here.

The new album cover has a casual looking Jess with nothing but a T-shirt on, her hair pulled back and wearing a ring on her right index finger.

Coincidentally, Simpson's latest cover pic looks particularly similar to her Sony Music label mate Jennifer Lopez's cover for her 2002 album "This Is Me ... Then" -- even down to the handwriting. And that isn't the album's only comparison to another pop diva. Her first single has already been compared to Madonna's '80s hit "Holiday."

1. Girl next door look...give me a break. It's going to take more than a cover change to achieve that look.

2. Wow, don't her eyes look freaky!

3. Either way, she looks like a hardened, overly-tanned piece of leather with a masculine face. She should stick with the "slutty" cover. It's at least distracting from her face.

4. I agree, Jessica hasn't been the GND for some time now! She believes in the "less is more" theory. The less part being the use of less material to cover her body.

5. She didn't want to come across looking to sexy so the more casual look makes her appear approachable.

15. There is something manly about her face if you've ever seen the DVD cover of the Dukes of Hazzard her face is very strange looking her eyes are way to far apart she does look like an alien. Her music is awful she ruined the Berlin song I can't believe she had the nerve to remake it. She can't come up with her own music so she's always doing remakes. Her music just reminds me of tacky commercial music.
