Kelli: ARe you Serious?
Jessica: well, she’s like on a phone *mumbles something*
Jessica: If i have like 20 interviews in one day, and i don’t get around to one we don’t want to make anybody mad
Jessica: so my moms like “Hey Yaawwll!!”
al: Oh MY god!!
Kidd: thats hilarious!
kelli: thats funny that you say that. because last week, we had “Britney Spears” call in and I’m sitting up there fussing at that girl “you are not Britney Spears”
Kelli: I chewed her up one....it ws terrible
(kid: it was set up and everything)
Kelli: it was terrible

Scott: and then her mom called back and blasted us for makin’ fun of her
Kelli: and said it was Britney
Jessica: nuh uh
everyone: Yeah!
Kidd: but we still know it wasn’t
Jessica: well, i'd never do that to you guys
Kelli: I know but, see even when they got caught, they still wouldn’t admit it ws true
(al: yeah)
Kelli: and we were just wondering if anyone else tried to pull that prank and i can sort of see overseas, i mean they don’t speak the language anyway, you have Kelli: to have a translator anyway right?
Jessica: yeah you do
Jessica: I’m talkin’ about like Japan where you have to have a translator and all that stuff
Al: We don’t know for sure 100%, positive
Kelli: it was not her. Al stop it
Kelli: anyway
Kidd: hey! lets talk about your pedicure party
Jessica:the pedicure party
Kelli: thats what you’re comin to town for right?
Jessica: yeah
Kelli: With Seventeen?
Jessica: Seventeen magazine just opened a salon. It’s like a teen like spa.
(kid:what a great idea)
Jessica: It’s very cool. i went there actually, i actually went there at like 2 0’clock in the morning so I could see it before i talked to you guys.
Kidd: really?
Kelli: you poor thing. Always workin’. Well, you know, teen spas are really a trendy thing. USA Today yesterday had an article about how teens are starting Kelli: to get in on the skin care and pampering a lot earlier. They go to camps for a week of pampering and skin care routines.
Kidd: What? What kind of teenage girl needs a week of pampering?!
Kelli: well they can use a day of it at the Seventeen Spa at least. YOu know there’s skin problems and things they need help with.
(kid: I guess so)
Al: So 17 year old girls can have jacked up feet like everybody else
Kelli: thats right
Kidd: I know boys go to the baseball game
Jessica: it's really cool like, even to take your friends and like, you know,maybe get ready for prom and homecoming. It’s like this Jessica:huuuge salon. They can do everything. You can get your eyebrows waxed. you can get massages. You can get pedicures.
Jessica: The pedicure room is the coolest. it’s like, it’s like, it’s really cool.
Everyone: laughs
Kelli: it’s like cool
Jessica: The whole room shuts off and you could have like 10 of you guys in there or something
Kidd: Wow
Al: Do you have those big chairs that i’ve seen? I’ve never sat in one of that big chair that big one where like everone
(Kidd: it’s a throne)
al: is like working on a limb
Kidd: it’s a “toe throne”
Al: Oh man, that just looks so cool
Kidd: we’re talking to Jessica Simpson. ummm...she’s doing a little thing for Seventeen Studio Spa on Dallas Parkway in Dallas, Texas. I hope I’m not asking Kidd: about something you don’t know about, the “interactive computer bay?”
Jessica: yes
Kidd: What do they do there?
Jessica:ummm...just like if their waiting to get their hair done or whatever. It’s really cool. they can send their friends messages. it’s like this whole computer thing.
Kidd: oh its, I thought....

Kidd: Good for you.
Jessica: umm...its not ummm
Kidd: Not like Jewel?
Jessica: Yeah. It’s kinda like jewel
Kidd: kidna like Jewel
Jessica: yeah, its kinda like jewel meets Shania Twain kinda thing
Kidd: so there might be some country stuff?
Jessica: not country, its just.... i'm writing it this time and i'm southern. You know what I mean? So it just kinda felt that way
(Kelli: Southern Rock)
Jessica: a little bit
Kidd: when you say going back to your roots, I think we all remember even those who weren’t there and heard about it. The showcase that you did, in Dallas Kidd:befroe anyting really happened for ya and this was a time when everyone was lip-synching and it was all boybands and stuff and you came out there, did a Kidd:ballad and just blew everybody away.
Kelli: and was sick to death. Thats when she had all those cyst troubles.
(Jessica: oh my God, I was so sick)
Kelli: You were so sick
Kidd: At the showcase she was?
Kelli: You don’t remember that?
Kidd: No, I don’t
Jessica: I had to sit on a stool
Kidd: is this gonna be more of what your doing on the record? It’s gonna be more about your voice.
Jessica: i'm singing, you know what I mean? theres gonna be no dancing, at all. You know.
Kidd: I think thats good
Jessica: No choreography for me. I’m over it*laughs*
(kidd:are you really?)
Jessica: it just takes a way from singing and thats why I got in this business in the first place. You know?
Jessica: when i dance i don't sing as good. you know and i'd rather just sing my butt off err ...or sing my pants off
everyone: laughs
al: you know baby, you can’t sing enough to sing your butt off. You got plenty booty
everyone: laughs
Kelli:thats a compliment
al: yeah thats a compliment. I mean it with love. I mean it with love
Jessica: Oh i’m not, I’m not mad
Kidd: are you at the point now, have you’ve gotten there where you’re sayin “Hey guys, I appreciate all your input, but I know how I wanna do it?”
Jessica: i have totally taken this entire record into my own hands
Kidd: Good for you.
Jessica: That last record, I mean, it wasn’t me
(kidd: yeah)
Jessica: Like my last record, even Irresistible. It was a great song and it was a great song for me, but, you know, I don’t think Jessica: that most of that record, if the label wasn’t telling me that i needed to do it, I wouldn’t have done it.
Kidd: Was doin’ FHM you? or was it Stuff? what was it?
Scott: maxim
Al: whooo
Kidd: Was Maxim you?
Jessica: uh uh
Kidd: Do you regret it?
Jessica: i don't regret it, because, it was good for all of the sailors when I went overseas.
everyone:*laughs*
Jessica: When I went to Afghanistan for Christmas, I got to give it out and sign it and to see the guys faces they were all just really excited. Thats one good thing that came out of it.
Kidd: But people talked you into that though didn’t they?
Jessica: it was a moral booster
Al: You were the reason we won the war, girl!
everyone: *laughs*
Kidd: But people did kind of.....
Jessica: FHM was a different story than Maxim. I think FHM, was a look. It was a little edgier but uh, but maxim
Kelli: I didn’t see the FHM. I just saw the Maxim
(Kidd and Al: making “whooo” noises)
(Kidd: Kelli, oh my God)
Kelli: Freddy kept that issue of Maxim for a very long time.
Kidd: Is it the FHM Jessica, you’re in with some other stars? Is that the one.....?
Kelli: I don’t know. I didn’t even see it
Jessica: i don't even know, i don't even have them
Kelli: Now that you’re an engaged woman, has nick said “No more of that. No more of that” ?
Jessica: umm yeah
(Kidd: What are you talking about? He’s makin’ out with chicks in videos!)
Jessica: he didn't want me to do it in the first place
al: If anything happens, and I know you gotta go. If anything happens and things don’t work out between you and Nick, please give a brother a call, girl
Kidd: Al
Jessica: I think you’re gonna be out of luck on that one
Kidd: Call you for what?
Jessica: i think one break was enough for us. I think we know now, that it’s forever
Kelli: I’m glad that it worked out. I know you’re happiest with him, so I’m glad that worked out
Jessica: how are you and your man?
Kelli: We’re fine. He’s sitting right over there behind me
Kidd: No difference Jessica. No difference
Kelli: We’re still dating
Kidd: She’s still just spinning her wheels you know
Kelli: I know
Kidd: Waiting for something better to come along
Kelli; I guess September 11th didn’t teach him anything
Kidd: hey Jessica?!
Jessica: yeah
Kidd: right now we’re gonna give away a chance to have a pedicure party with you
Jessica: yeah me and the girls can go back in the room and have a little party
