Jessica prepares for Maxim shoot

Jessica Simpson is reportedly set to try her hand as a sexy yet classy pinup, as she prepares to pose for the upcoming cover of MAXIM magazine, according to published reports. Simpson, 25, has reportedly shot what is being called "a tasteful magazine spread for MAXIM" with photographer James White. The newly single Simpson picked a cover of Esquire mag with Jennifer Lopez in which she looks like a classical pinup girl, curvy and playful as an example. "This will definitely be fun, playful and sexy," a source tells Life&Style, "JLo's shots are gorgeous." In the meantime, preparing for summer's lightweight fashion looks, Jessica Simpson got rid of her blonde extensions, revamped her du and now sports a wavy layered bob. [PC]
