Jessica Simpson Wants to Share Her Dessert
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Despite ABC passing on her comedy pilot for its fall schedule, Jessica Simpson is still having a very good week.

First, she and sister Ashlee kicked off the launch of Hershey's new Liquid Ice breath mints in New York City. Jessica spoofed her classic query to husband Nick Lachey while eating a can of Chicken of the Sea, "Is it chicken? Or is it tuna?" with the pitch, "Whether it's liquid or it's ice -- Ashlee seems to think it's both -- Liquid Ice does the trick."

Then, her new line of body products "Dessert Beauty" premiered on QVC, the cable home-shopping channel that did wonders for Joan Rivers' jewelry and Marie Osmond's dolls.

 
Consisting of 13 products, the fragrant, tasty Dessert line comes in three primary flavors: Creamy (vanilla and caramel), Dreamy (chocolate and coconut) and Juicy (strawberry and raspberry).

"I was especially interested in delving into this new project because every time Nick would kiss my lips or skin we would taste my lipstick, body lotion and perfume -- and hate it," the famous "Newlywed" Simpson says.

The usual suspects are present from lip gloss to bubble bath, sugar scrubs to body mists. However, for those looking for something new to slather on themselves, there is a roll-on fragrance for the much neglected belly button region and a whipped body cream that comes with a small container of candy sprinkles that can be applied to (and presumably licked off) your skin, or saved for your next batch of cupcakes or middle of the night sundae fix.

A couple of items fall out of the basic trinity, with a shimmering body gloss available in Chocolicious (think chocolate pudding spiked with vanilla) and a "hot body topping" that melts into the skin with the help of your -- or the applier's -- body temperature that comes in Slip (cherries and mixed berries) and Slide (caramel).

  • In addition to QVC, the Dessert line will be available exclusively online at www.dessertbeauty.com Sephora stores across the country through June 2004.
