Just the front of the bikini bottom area. The material doesn't look like it matches the top. And I know people think she's completely daft, but nothing about her in the past has shown her to be the kind of person who would wear something like that in public so casually.

True, it doesn't seem like she would wear that, but the bottom is wet and the top is dry!

Funny how that happens when you're sitting up.

Very true, but it just doesn't even look like the same material. I could definitely be way wrong, but I don't think that top would suddenly be completely transparent if it got wet. Either way, I'm still not hating that picture.

Well, I figured she'd be worth something due to her dad being such a stage presence in her life. Itr also doesn't hurt that much of the stuff that's being licensed in her name is being marketed to middle America and that her stuff looks reasonably good. Not necessarily dissing Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, but a lot of their fashion designs are straight ghetto, so even in spite of their names being attached to their merchandise, they have limited appeal.

In that vein, I have to give big ups to Kris Jenner. Her kids may have no discernible reason to be famous, but she is making huge money for them as their manager.

eh, it's just a name on a product. If any of these celebs actually created the perfume or designed the clothes it might be different. Jacklyn Smith, Kathy Ireland, Jessica Simpson...it has nothing to do with them.

It is not like she is Stella McCartney who as far as I know, actually designs clothes

I'm talking about how is it possible for her to be PERSONALLY worth that much just from licensing her name on these low-cost products.

they must sell them everywhere, like Target or Wal Mart

It was true of Kathy Ireland, too, whatever she sold, I forget

Thats USA for ya

I thought the Mary Kate & Ashley line was more bankable. Amazing.

Yeah, I did a double-take when I read that news story.

The apocalypse truly IS upon us!!!

I just can't believe I live in a world where Jessica "I know it's tuna but is it chicken" Simpson is worth a billion dollars.

I saw this comming way back when her daddy was tryna rush that divorce to Nick. She was already racking up endorsement deals and her weave line was about to take off.

I confess I find her shoes really cute and they're easily affordable. Not a fan of her handbags or beauty products though. Merchandising is the way to go. That's why those Kardashian bitches are rolling in the dough. Jessica just took a cue from the Olsen Twins playbook.

yep, some of her things are quite popular in spite of the buyers not even caring about her. It's the designs and price.

yes, true, I doubt George Foreman really designed that grill either

I love that grill! It's like my own ghetto panini maker. And i have a panini maker too. The foreman grill is for the holidays cuz folk aint steppin nowhere near my good shit.
