Is Jessica Simpson using dumbness to get by?

We all know about her brouhaha over the tuna fish controversy on Newlyweds, but since then, she did a spoof about it on her "With You" by eating a can of tuna and just now, a KFC Buffalo wings commercial in which she tells her sister Ashlee that she knows buffaloes don't have wings, but sees a buffalo with wings and tries to get it to flap its wings.

Jessica did indeed get a lot of publicity from the tuna fish incident and, in my opinion, she's playing off of this to keep herself in the spotlight. So far, it's working, with a hit album, variety show (which won't be coming back) and a commercial to show for it.

The entire Newlyweds show was staged, IMO. Jessica pretended to be dumb in those shows to draw a larger audience and keep them interested. I cannot imagine that she is THAT naive and dumb in real life. I think the commercials just prove that point too.

I think she really is that dumb... ever since she came on the scene I have always noticed how dumb she seemed and the show just confirmed it.

People like it when they make a prediction and its confirmed.

She may be dumb, but she's not dumb enough to not know that flaunting it has made her a household name.

She's not stupid, but she's had her blonde moments.  God knows we've all had them.  The difference between us and her is her brain farts were caught on tape.
