On Wednesday (January 29, 2020), Jessica Simpson walked Jimmy Kimmel through her new memoir Open Book on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she revealed that ex Nick Lachey wasnโt the only famous boy bander sheโs kissed.
While reminiscing about her failed Mickey Mouse Club audition in the โ90s and recruiting Chuck Norris to help improve her acting skills, the โWith Youโ singer shared that she had a brief fling with Justin Timberlake after she and the 98 Degrees frontman divorced in 2006.
โAfter divorce and he was out of a relationship, he was, like, over at my house, we shared a nostalgic kiss, but I thought, โOh, this is interesting,'โ she recalled.
โAnd he took his phone out and started typing. And I was like, โOkay, I hope thatโs not, like, another girl. Like, did I, like, stick my tongue out too much or, you know?'โ

Just wait, the story gets even better. โBut apparently him and Ryan Gosling had a bet on who would kiss me first when they were 12-years-old,โ she continued. โAnd so, he texted Ryan and said he won the bet. And I was like, โOh, okay. UmโฆSo we donโt kiss again. Thatโs done.'โ
But, if 12-year-old Simpson had her way, she would have chosen the La La Land actor instead. โRyan was the one that I was, likeโฆwhen I was 12, I was, like, โThis guy is so cool and heโs from Canada,โ she dished.
โI donโt know where that is on the map, but I really think that thatโs amazing.โ And there was something so cute about him. But Justin won the bet.โ
Simpson also revealed that she studied with Chuck Norris as an acting coach. โHe was a little tough,โ Simpson remembers. โHe told me I moved my eyebrows too much, so then I had to do all of my lines with my eyebrows taped.โ

Simpson added that Norris encouraged her to โchannel her inner Denzel Washingtonโ even though, as a 12-year-old, she didnโt know who Washington was. Now as an adult, Simpson says that the experience โruined every Denzel Washington movieโ for her. โAll I do is watch his eyebrows.โ
In an excerpt from Jessicaโs book obtained by Radar Online, the former Newlyweds star admitted that she became emotionally involved with Johnny Knoxville while filming the Dukes of Hazzard movie with him in 2005.
Jessica was near the end of her marriage to Lachey at the time, while Knoxville was married to Melanie Cates. In her book, the mom of three admitted things began to get flirty with Knoxville as they filmed the action movie on location in Louisiana nearly 15 years ago.
โIt was like Johnny and I were prison pen-pals, two people who wanted so much to be with each other but were kept apart,โ Simpson wrote, in reference to their spouses.

The actress, who played Daisy Duke opposite Knoxvilleโs Luke Duke in the hit film, revealed that as her marriage to Lachey was crumbling, she and her co-star Knoxville started sending โlove lettersโ to one another. Their emotional bond proved to be stronger than a sexual one.
โItโs funny, I know, because I placed such an emphasis on sex by not having it before marriage,โ Jessica wrote in Open Book. โAfter I actually had sex, I understood that the emotional part was what mattered. And Johnny and I had that, which seemed far more of a betrayal to my marriage than sex.โ
At the time they were filming the Dukes of Hazzard film, tabloid rumors swirled that Jessica and Johnny were having an affair.
This is doing to definitely be one juicy tell-all book!
