Video: Jessica Simpson on the Rachel Ray Show

Jessica Simpson was on the Rachel Ray Show yesterday morning making chicken and dumplings. The segment starts off kind of odd, with Rachel washing her hands and Jessica just kind of standing there. Then Jess decides to wash her hands, too.

Jess says the recipe is supposed to be a lowfat version, which Rachel kind of poo-poos. Rachel says, “Eat a salad and it will all even out.” (True enough.) Jess admits that she’s kinda lazy when it comes to cooking but she uses short cuts that help her out, like using already made chicken.

The segment is rather uncomfortable because at first Jessica doesn’t seem to know what she wants to say, or if she’s supposed to be really pre-making the dumplings. But then she seems to get going and it runs a bit more smoothly. Jess talks about Tony Romo, and she adds that he lives with three guys. (Which made me think: Does that mean she isn’t moving in with him?) Jess admits that Tony is a pizza guy so she doesn’t really cook for him.

As a side note, isn’t Rachel Ray’s hair adorable?

Before the cooking segment, Jess and Rachel sat down and talked about her new album and fragrance. In typical Jess fashion, she talked about burbing and farting. (Why does she always have to do that?)

Before Jessica left, she got to hold some baby lions. So cute.
