Jessica Simpson Attempts to Suck it in at Good Housekeeping's Shine On Celebration

A swarm of beauties descended on City Center for the Good Housekeeping “Shine On” celebration of 125 Years of Women Making Their Mark.  Among those in attendance:  a chubby Jessica Simpson – trying to suck it in while on the red carpet, radiant Anika Noni Rose, elegant Hilary Duff, acting chameleon Meryl Streep, translucent Michelle Trachtenberg, eternal beauty Cheryl Tiegs, stunning Marlee Matlin, thespian Laura Benanti and icons Marlo Thomas accompanied by husband Troy Donahue.  All gathered to – well, I don’t actually know what the hell the internal program consisted of to be honest, cept that they were to enjoy a performance by the queen of soul herself – Aretha Franklin!

I’m all about celebrating the power of the opposite gender – especially when in stilettos!  So my coverage was a given.

Next stop?  A woman in The White House!
