Jessica Simpson named as guest judge for Project Runway finale

Here’s one from the what-were-they-smoking files: the producers of Project Runway have named none other than Jessica Simpson as the celebrity guest judge for the season finale. The queen of the mom jeans is going to be in a position to pass judgement on the style of others, which seems a bit crazy.

However, it’s certainly no worse than having Faith Hill do the job, which is exactly what happened last year. Simpson at least has some sort of style credentials, as she has her own clothing line, but I’m not sure how much she actually has to do with designing the clothing, other than putting her name on the label. It’ll be interesting to see just what sort of things she has to say about this year’s Project Runway collections.
