Jessica Simpson Hits the Self-Help Section

At right, from the forthcoming Us Weekly, an image of probably-single poputante Jessica Simpson in posession of the international bestseller How to Deal With People You Can't Stand (click to enlarge). From the book description:

With their 1994 international bestseller, Dealing with People You Can't Stand, Drs. Rick Brinkman and Rick Kirschner armed a civility-starved world with no-nonsense strategies for dealing with difficult people with tact and skill. Since then, cell phones, the Internet, voice mail, and other technological wonders designed to bring people closer together have only made it that much harder to avoid "people you can't stand;" even worse, they've also created exciting new ways for annoying people to realize their talent for being pains in the butt.

Updated and revised for the digital age, this new edition of Brinkman and Kirschner's bestselling guide shows readers how to successfully combat the whiners, grenades, tanks, snipers, close-talkers, pedants, and other rude, crude, and inconsiderate people who can ruin your day at work, in stores, on the street, in restaurants, at the movies, in waiting rooms, by fax, phone, and E-mail, and in cyberspace.

Well, at least she's trying.

Once again, Jessica Simpson and her husband Nick Lachey are not, they repeat, NOT getting divorced. This book will be used solely in her dealings with her creepy father.

Poor Jess has a laundry list of people to apply that book towards: - Nick, for being a bore - Ashlee, for being an embarrassment - Her dad, total psycho - Matt Leinart and the Laguna Beach gang, Nick's new playmates - Brad, Angelina, Jen, for costing her publicist so much extra to keep her on the covers of Us and People - Ricky Martin, for having the same weird jawline, chin and smile (ie, plastic surgeon) - The Jackass guys, for making her feel scummy when they laugh it up on morning radio - Herself. Because she's Jessica Simpson
