Jessica Simpson’s got a new fiance (Eric Johnson) and now a new job – as a celebrity mentor on NBC’s Fashion Star . Yep, that’s a real show. The 30-year-old’s singing career has petered out and her acting career never really took off, but her fashion line is remarkably successful. With a brand worth an estimated $750 million in 35 countries, Simpson will join Elle MacPherson in a search for the next big fashion brand . “NBC is delighted to work with singer, designer, actress and pop culture icon Jessica Simpson,” the network said in a statement. “With an almost billion dollar lifestyle brand under her belt she is sure to be an excellent mentor to our up-and-coming designers.” “I’m in the workroom in [L.A.’s] Westwood a few times a week from 11 to 7 at night,” says Simpson of her chic but affordable line. “Nothing goes out without me seeing it or my mom [Tina Simpson, Jess’ co-creative director] seeing it,” says the former Nick Lachey spouse. Fashion Star ‘s premiere date is TBA. [Photo: WENN.com]
