Recently on the rumor mill is the nugget that Jessica Simpson will be hosting her own reality show, where she explores the [perception of beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-are-amazing) and tackles [body image issues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doves-super-bowl-ad).

Clearly this is a reaction to the media frenzy over Jessica Simpson's recent weight gain. I have to give the girl credit for finding the good in that awful situation. I hope that the show works out. It sounds like a good thing.

**Implications** - Consumers embrace products and services that are endorsed by a [notable celebrity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/og-influencers). They recognize these figures from the media, and grow to respect their opinions and ideals.
