Mr. Nasty Takes Aim At Simpson Sisters

The New York Daily News reports that when ‘American Idol’ judge Simon Cowell was the fill-in co-host for Regis Philbin opposite Kelly Ripa on Friday, the music guru was talking about the lost whippet when he held up a photo of Jessica Simpson. “It looks a little bit like that, but with a collar,” Cowell said. Ripa pasted a shocked grin on her face. “Joke, joke, Jessica,” Cowell backtracked. “Jessica, you do not look like a whippet. At all. But your sister! …” At which point Ripa advised, “You need to resuscitate your image.”
