Confirmed: Jessica Simpson Looks Like Hell in Person Lately, Too

We’ve all witnessed the persistent stream of atrocious, what-was-she-thinking pictures of Jessica Simpson lately, but is it possible the camera just doesn’t do her justice? I mean, how could she possibly allow herself to walk out the door each day looking as bad as we think she does?

E! Online’s Lara Morgenson attended the opening of the newest Hollywood hot-spot, Area (how is a club already a hot-spot upon its opening? How?? (Answer: Brent Bolthouse)), and had a run-in with Simpson and CaCee Cobb in the women’s restroom. Here’s what Lara had to say:

I’m doing my thing in the little girls’ room, when Jessica and onetime BFF Cacee Cobb barge in. I can’t get over Jess’ look: She’s like a younger version of Courtney Love, with smudged red lips and disheveled hair. Seriously, what gives? As Jess and Cacee wait in line, their eyes are literally fixated on their reflections. Jessica starts playing with her short bob, pulling it into a ponytail, while her pal scrutinizes. “No, no–stop it,” Cobb instructs. “Leave it down. It looks much better that way.” With a sigh, Jess purses her lips and complies, letting her fried platinum locks fall back to her shoulders, then trots back out to her table.

Wow, I’ve heard some pretty mean things said about Jess lately, but “a younger version of Courtney Love?” Ouch.
