Jessica Simpson: Early life and Career
Jessica Ann Simpson (born July 10, 1980) is an American singer, actress, and television personality who rose to fame in the late 1990s. She has achieved seven Billboard Top 40 hits, and has three gold and two multi-platinum RIAA-certified albums. Simpson starred with her then-husband Nick Lachey in the MTV reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. She ventured into the country music market in 2008 and released Do You Know.
Simpson was born in Abilene, Texas, the daughter of Tina and Joe Truett Simpson, who was a minister and psychologist. As a child, she began singing at her local Baptist church. At age twelve, Simpson unsuccessfully auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Club. While attending J.J. Pearce High School, she signed to Proclaim Records, a minor Gospel music record label. She recorded an album, self-titled, "Jessica", but Proclaim went bankrupt and the album was never officially released except for a small pressing funded by her grandmother. This small funding however gained her minor attention and she gave concerts with other acts such as Kirk Franklin, God's Property, and CeCe Winans. Simpson left high school at age sixteen (she later earned her GED), and after Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola heard "Jessica", she was signed to the label.
Madonna
Controversial Madonna has etched her mark in music's history. She has achieved remarkable fame during the past 20 years of her career by dominating the music charts, hitting the silver screen and entering the publishing industry. Madonna established herself early as a pop icon and loved being the center of attention.
Being damned and banned by many people and institutions for her shameless self-exposure and naked ambition did little to slow down her album sales. The "Boy Toy" appeared in albums, videos, movies and books with an image of a sex-crazed woman. Often the public preferred discussing her lifestyle and personal life rather than discuss her music. Although Madonna's image today seems to have gone through a metamorphosis, she continues to keep complete control of her music and image.
