Jessica Simpson is a Chess Maniac
Chess
Singer turned actress Jessica Simpson has found a new hobby. The actress has become addicted with playing chess.
 
The 29-year old star who is reportedly dating Billy Corgan became obsessed of the board game after her speculated beau taught her to play it. The recent reports insisted that the Hollywood beauty loves to take on Billy Corgan for the game on a regular basis.
 
A source reported, “He taught her how to play (chess) and was surprised at how quickly she got the hang of it, but she is yet to beat him.”

Jessica Ann Simpson (born July 10, 1980) is an American singer, actress, television personality and fashion designer whose rise to fame began in 1999. Since that time, Simpson has achieved many recording milestones, starred in several television shows, movies, and commercials, launched a line or hair and beauty products, and designed fragrances, shoes, and handbags for women. She has devoted time to philanthropic efforts including Operation Smile and a USO-hosted tour for troops stationed overseas.

She has achieved seven Billboard Top 40 hits, three gold and two Multi- Platinum RIAA certified studio albums, four of which have reached the top 10 on the US Billboard 200.   Simpson starred with her then-husband Nick Lachey in the MTV reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. She ventured into the country music market in 2008 and released Do You Know.

She has sold 20 million records worldwide. Simpson has a total of records sales in Australia of more than 426,000 copies and was ranked in the # 113 on the 1000 artists chart of ARIA Music Decade Charts (1980–2010).   In 2009, Billboard named Simpson as the 95th overall best Artists of the Decade.   Simpson also was ranked at number 86 on Billboard 200 Artists, solely based on album sales.
