Jessica Simpson appeared on Ellen DeGeneres where she made a stunning admission when asked to address the rumours she doesn’t brush her teeth:

“Well, not all the time,”  ”Maybe three times a week.”

Oh my.  That’s a whole lot of disgusting right there.  But she explains, it’s okay:

“Because my teeth are so white and I don’t like them to feel to slippery, but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday. But I don’t brush them everyday. I’ll use a shirt or something.”

“I know it’s gross, but I always have fresh breath. It’s really weird but I have great breath.”

Somebody at Listerine needs to get on this stat.  If you are still reading and aren’t barfing your breakfast into the nearest wastebasket, toilet or whatever, she also talks about dating:

“I mingle around very privately. I have ways in and out of my house and certain places that I go that are private just so I can have a normal life. I’m still out there and bring normal.”

When asked if the guy has to be a celebrity:

“It doesn’t really matter to me,” Simpson responds. “They definitely have to understand my life and what I put up with and what I deal with. Being scrutinized publicly, they can definitely make or break a relationship, and you have to have that strong foundation so I have to have somebody that understands that kind of lifestyle.”

Um, I don’t know what to say.  I still can’t get over the brushing her teeth only 3 times a week.  And the shirt.  THE SHIRT!!!
