Is Jessica Simpson A Functional Illiterate?

The New York Post reports behavior by Jessica Simpson indicates the singer may be functional illiterate. On the ‘Newlyweds’ recent season finale hubby Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees gave her a Valentine’s Day card, which she gave back to him, saying that she couldn’t read his handwriting and that he should read it to her – which he did. “She claimed that the writing was too sloppy, but the excuse was straight out of some After School Special,” says Stephen Falk, who recaps the series for the Web site televisionwithoutpity.com. “While watching all 10 episodes this season, it became clear that Jessica can’t read. While I’m being a bit facetious, there are tons of examples of Jessica pawning things off to other people for them to read.”
