Jessica -- "I Wish I Was in Love"

Jessica Simpson: Click to watchJessica just wants to be loved. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Nick Lachey's ex confesses she's ready for a serious relationship, telling the talk show host, "I wish I was in love, I need to be in love."

Though many men may feel inclined to disagree, Simpson admits she's not exactly ideal girlfriend material. "I think I'm too hard to be in love with, it ends up on the cover of every magazine. I scare people away."

Just last week Jessica made the cover of PEOPLE for her alleged romance with singer John Mayer -- something the she emphatically denied on "The View."

For a good laugh, also check out Simpson doing a dramatic reading of her new single, "A Public Affair," while Ellen does an interpretive dance.

The full interview airs on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Monday.

46. Money is the root of all evil! Did she sell her high standards and values for fame and money?

47. Her expression of desiring to be in love reminds me of an old song I heard on CBS FM called "Foolish Little Girl". She didn't want Nick when he wanted her, now he's moved on and she wants him back again. That's what all the crying and whining is about. I think Nick would be crazy to go back, although I thought he was crazy to marry her in the first place, their relationship was always on the rocks and daddy was a meddling A$$ hole then.

48. dude you guys are all frickin horrible. You don't even know her or what really happened. None of you were there. All you know is what you've read from all those full of crap magazines. So unless you know Nick, Jessica, and their situation first hand, do everyone a favor and shut the hell up!

53. Seems Jessica is really in bad shape; her life is a mess. She doesn't need to be looking for another love until she learns what true love is all about. Another person made a comment about Jessica not being like Paris, Nicole & others, who seem to be tougher and have the stomach for the fall out after their relationships end. Those girls have been running in the big leagues for much longer than Jessica has. Jessica, you are not going to find normalcy & real love in Hollywood; everything there is FAKE!

54. i agree with ollie, like i once say that jessica have it all and everybody was so jealous that they made it seem like what she have was wrong.now look at all of them, they are all trying to get marry some who say they will never will are.now she piss causes she try to run with the pack and they turn around and did a 360 on her. even her own sister is trying to look for what she have.and what was that line on the vma that jess sent a mess to nick that i still love you and her dad still cares about him.i love nick express like ok.when he was thinking yeah right,and laughing his ass off. and to tell you that i'm proud of nick i think that vanessa is good for him you saw all the females he dated after jess they where all like her,but vanes. is different she like everything he's like and is willing to do alot of things he want to do cause she like it to. she a complete 180 from jess.but i don't think it will last i think that vanes. is looking for what nick have with jess, but i don't think he's ready and she might leave cause she sick of waiting for nick to get over jess and move on with her all heart and soul.but i don't feel sorry for jess cause why does it take her to long to figure out what she has losts. and you can tell from her performance on mtv that she isn't over nick and she upset that she did what she did.look you all have to agree with me that jess need to stop everything and think about everything she wants in life and more and where she see her self cause intill she do by the end of 2010 i know for a fact she will end up with nothing.and she try to pull a britney spears. cause we all no that britney is still in love with jt and he is to.cause if he wasn't he would of stop mention her and his feeling for her by now. and we know kf knows it everybody knows it but them.i bet this is going to be another britney spears things with nick and vanes getting marry and having children and jess all by her self in a love less but lust relationship try to compete with vanes and nick. hey think about paris did it when nic was about to get marry. and you see that after nic and adam broke it off so did she.everybody in hollywood is just competing with each other on everything.

55. Grow up Jessica! Before you can love anyone else, you have to love yourself and that means standing on your own two feet, not relying on publicists, Daddy or even your hairstylist! Remember, they cut the umbilical cord at birth for a reason! You need to cut yours again and be an adult. In case you haven't noticed, relationships take a lot of work.

56. I think all of you people need to get a life and stop judging Nick and Jessicas marriage. No one knows what goes on behind close doors, who knows it could of all been poor nicks fault, after all his career was such a failure in court he wanted half of jessicas money..poor pitiful nick diched by one of societys most famous woman of today. So he has to cry on telivishion to get some attention hoping his album will go somewhere. Grow up Nick get a life and stop that crying and move on. Depend on your own money not Jessicas.

57. #15 You are very scary! Get a grip.

58. Eeeew, she's such a loser and so easily displays just how much she's tanked post-divorce; we always knew there was no substance to her, but marketing, good styling and being married to Nick actually contributed to her success and appeal - what goes around comes around and her career is back where she started before Nick...nowhere and talentless, acknowledged by all industries.

59. Jessica Simpson reminds me of an ex-girlfriend of mine. We started off great and then she got a big ego, treated me like crap, (unfortunately I took it for too long), and then at the breaking point SHE ended it. I grieved for a few months, moved on, had lots of fun, and then met the girl of my dreams.

She, on the other hand, felt lonely shortly there after and tried (unsuccessfully) on several attempts to try and get back with me. Get lost girl! I wish my ex well, but unless she changes her bi-polar like behavior she'll never keep a good man.

Jessica Simpson is the same way and that's where that analogy was going. She's beautiful, no denying that. But men won't put up with a girl's crap like that for long. We prefer a girl who sees a relationship as a partnership, not as a dictatorship.

Jessica thought there was more out there for her and that her star would just keep on rising. However, reality is setting in and more people side with Nick.

Good luck Nick! And Jess, well you asked for it!

And tell Dad that you're a "big girl" now, and although there's no denying he helped your career take off (you have to give Joe credit for that), he has to know when to butt out of his daughters' personal lives. He's way out of line for that.
