CELEBRITY
19. SHE IS LEGEND: “People ought to give her a chance. She’s got a great voice, she’s beautiful - I don’t know what else they want!” - Loretta Lynn
20. TRUNK SHOW: “A few years ago, we were going to Eva Longoria’s house for dinner, and Jess said, ‘I don’t want to go to Eva’s house for the first time and bring the paparazzi with us! That’s so lame!’ I was like, ‘Fine, then get in the trunk.’ I don’t know if her blonde hair was sticking out of the trunk or what, but they followed us all the way from my house to Eva’s. And we were talking back and forth, all while she was in the trunk.” - Ken Paves, hairstylist
21. ALTER EGO: “Her nickname is Angela. It started with Ken when they were in a store and people were pointing her out. So Ken was like, ‘Hey, Angela!’ to make them think it wasn’t her. It actually worked back then.” - Erin Alexander
18. HER SISTER’S KEEPER: “Jessica seems sweet, but she’s very protective of her little sister. I’ve seen her lay it down when somebody was picking on me.” - Ashlee Simpson-Wentz
