Jessica Simpson SHAKES 'em in LIFE & STYLE WEEKLY

What do Jessica Simpson and a certain novel (let's call it, SHAKING HER ASSETS) have in common--aside from the fact that Jessica shakes 'em like crazy in her new video "These Boots Are Made For Walking"? If you said, "why, they both appear together in this week's edition of the amazing magazine, LIFE & STYLE WEEKLY, don't they?" you'd be totally right!

On the Style Scope page (p. 96), there's a picture of Jessica, who turns 25 on July 10th, and who I know from my "I can't turn away from this train wreck" viewing of Newlyweds has enjoyed receiving a chunky diamond bracelet as a present in the past, FYI. But directly underneath her--LOOK--it's Marilyn Manizer, flexing her bicep and showing off another impressive set of Assets. Each star sign is paired with a book this week (Nick Hornby's A LONG WAY DOWN is the book assigned to this little Scorpio). But SHAKING HER ASSETS appears at twice the size since it's paired with Cancer, the star sign of the month!

I don't know *exactly* how the editorial decision was made to attach "Shaking Her Assets" to Jessica Simpson (one is tempted to draw an easy conclusion... though if this were solely the case, another one of the books listed, THE TWINS OF TRIBECA, could have worked pretty well, too.) But I think it more likely that the editors of that magazine are just geniuses, and since part of the horoscope for Cancer is "...Have a job interview? Exploring raise possibilities? Now's the time to go for it! For inspiration, check out Shaking Her Assets, a hilarious novel about pursuing a dream job," I think it was just an inspired choice!
