November 27, 2006 -- JESSICA Simpson could have been the face of Miu Miu instead of Lindsay Lohan, if it hadn't been for her slavish devotion to her hairdresser, Ken Paves. Insiders say Simpson was on a short list of celebs Miu Miu had in mind for its next ad campaign being shot by famed fotogs Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. But when the snappers learned Simpson was on the list, they nixed her. "They felt snubbed by Jessica because they were set to do her Vanity Fair shoot several months ago," says an insider. "Being the professionals they are, they wanted to bring in their own hair and makeup team, but Jessica said if they didn't use Ken, then she wasn't sitting for the shoot." The shoot and cover story for Vanity Fair were canceled amid false rumors that editors spiked them because Simpson refused to dish on her failed marriage to Nick Lachey. Our source insists it was the hair issues that ruined the spread: "Most fashion photographers use their own people - and they certainly don't use Ken Paves, who is considered tacky and amateurish for high-fashion shoots. He's very 'Texas pageant hair.' " A rep for Simpson said, "She could not have done the campaign anyway because she has her own clothing and shoe line."
I read this, too. I think Jess did Miu Miu a favor. Not like Lindsay is not that much better of a choice but at least she dresses a little edgy. Jess does not look like a Miu Miu girl at all! I'm sad that they're not going with Camilla Belle again for next season. I thought she was lovely.

I do agree that sometimes Ken Paves makes her hair look tacky.
I also agree with Liz - LL is more edgy than JS. I think she'll be better for the campaign.
I love her too! I don't know what's the matter with me
I secretly want to go rent "Newlyweds" and watch it all night long, but I'm afraid of being laughed out of the movie store...plus now that they're divorced it'll be less fun because I know here it ends....
Still! I love her.
