It’s a known fact that Jessica Simpson loves her booze

Anyone who’s seen Jessica drunk on the Home Shopping Network knows that that’s one girl who doesn’t always wait until the working day is done to have her fun.

We say this not to shame Jess, as she doesn’t seem the slightest bit embarrassed about her fondness for the good life, and she shouldn’t be!

In fact, when she got pregnant for the first time, Simpson admitted one of the things she would miss most is Scotch.

The reason Jessica made a great Weight Watchers spokesperson is that she often spoke openly about her love for food.

The implicit message was clear: 

If a booze-swilling, barbecue-loving Texas girl like Jessica can trim down with Weight Watchers, anyone can!

Obviously, the media has turned her into something of a caricature, but if all those Jessica Simpson bikini photos have taught us anything, it’s that the woman really knows how to take care of herself.

Even so, we can’t help but wonder how Jess really gets down on her cheat days.

Given her expensive taste in everything else, we assumed Mrs. Simpson-Johnson doesn’t go in for a Big Mac and a six-pack of Budweiser when she indulges.

So we weren’t completely shocked when a new report from the National Enquirer claimed that Jessica and her husband, Eric Johnson, spend and astonishing $50,000 a month on food and alcohol.

Not surprisingly the tabloid’s source says most of that cash is spent on high-end restaurants and building up one of Hollywood’s priciest private wine cellars – which would explain footage like this:

“Jessica may have money to burn, but it’s gotten a little ridiculous how much they’ve been spending, especially on their wine collection," says the insider.

Reps for Jess have already dismissed the rumor is nonsense, but a part of us hopes it’s true.

We want to live in a world where a person can spend 50 grand a month on wine and steaks and still look like this:
