Jessica Simpson is Big in the Ukraine

I Like It I Don't Like It
Although Jessica Simpson’s acting career is faltering in the US, people in Eastern Europe apparently love her shitty acting skills. Jessica’s film “Blonde Ambition” failed miserably domestically, earning a paltry $1,771. However, it managed to debut at number one in Ukraine, grossing $253,008 during it’s opening weekend.

“The former Soviet nations have a sweet tooth for straight-up comedies,” Conor Bresnan, editor in chief of Box Office Mojo International, tells People. “When these comedies have big name celebrities like Jessica Simpson’s, that’s all that’s needed to sell the movie. Russian and Ukrainian audiences have an even bigger urge for escapism than Americans. So, films like Blonde Ambition will gross more than No Country for Old Men.”

Maybe Jessica should take a hint and move to Eastern Europe.
