Reading your responses to my colleague Jennifer Armstrong’s inaugural ShePop post on Jessica Simpson (which, as I type this, total 570 and counting), I noticed that while some comments were…let’s say, less than charitable to Ms. Simpson, others were fairly thoughtful and eloquent — and others just evoked possible song:
Kristy: "Leave her alone / She’s a real woman"
cha: "gaining weight = no issue here / hideous mom jeans = unforgivable"
lex: "you people all neeed to get a life / jessica looks better than ever"
Of course, the Adam Green half of Juno duo Moldy Peaches already penned his terrific "Jessica Simpson" ode a few years ago. As I was re-watching the video for it (below), my coworker and EW style guru Meeta Agrawal came in and said: "Why don’t you challenge the PopWatch faithful to write their own?" Good idea! PopWatchers, challenge on! (Note: Be nice, be nice.)

This is lame.
I thought this was going to be a challenge to simply NAME one Jessica Simpson song. In which case I’m stumped!
This is VERY lame.
To the tune of the chorus of “Momma, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
Come on, it’s fine if Jessica’s dating a Cowboy.
So she’s put on weight and some say it’s obscene
But she would look great if she wore better jeans.
Come on, let’s all leave Jessica to date her Cowboy.
The media’s screaming and crying she’s fat.
Just shut up already, there’s no harm in that.
