That headline's actually not a joke. Jessica made the revelation in a interview in June's Vanity Fair:
We met in the Polo Lounge, the restaurant off the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel, in Los Angeles. She was wearing a dark, fedora-like hat pulled low. She told me it’s part of her fashion line, which is on racks in Macy’s, Nordstrom, and Dillard’s, and which, she said, is the most lucrative part of her career. "The Jessica Simpson Collection is a $400 million business," she said. "My mom and I are creative directors. We have hundreds of people working, but nothing gets by us. It’s adorable and it’s affordable. What’s amazing right now, during this recession, is that, somehow, the business keeps growing."

I mean, there is a very real possibility that you show up for work this morning only to find out that the entire company was sold over the weekend to Japanese investors for a handful of shiny beads and a talking parrot.
