Jessica Simpson: so fresh and so clean?
Not so much.
The singer, 29, admits in an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to air Wednesday that she only brushes her teeth "maybe three times a week."

Why?
"Because my teeth are so white and I don't like them to feel too slippery but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday," she explains. "But I don't brush them every day."
"My lips just slide all over the place....I can't catch up with my mouth," she continues. "I need a little coating...."

Instead, she'll "use a shirt or something" to scrub her chompers clean.
"I know it's gross but I always have fresh breath," she swears. "It's really weird but I have great breath."
Maybe that explains why the Vh1 reality star is still single. Although she says she's actively looking for her next guy on the down low.
"I mingle around very privately," she tells DeGeneres. "I have ways in and out of my house and certain places that I go that are private just so I can have a normal life. I'm still out there and bring normal."

After very public splits with John Mayer and Tony Romo, she still says it "doesn't really matter" if her next guy is famous or not.
Her only requirements: "They definitely have to understand my life and what I put up with and what I deal with. Being scrutinized publicly... [that] can definitely make or break a relationship and you have to have that strong foundation... so I have to have somebody that understands that kind of lifestyle."
Tell Us What You Think
126As a dental hygienist I can tell her that is just plain GROSS! She needs to get the sweaters off her teeth and put over breast! I would HATE to be her hygienist...
When I first read this I was kind like, "ew ok thats gross" but flossing is more important and personally I think that everyone needs to leave her alone. I used to not care for her. But I think she is a beautiful person inside and out and I love what she's doing lately. So as the old saying goes, "if you dont have anything nice to say- dont say it at all." all these ignorant people on here need to practice this. Seriously.
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica...Let the brain start working before the mouth starts moving! Teeth are supposed to be slippery, it means they are clean. Geez, now I'm gonna have to stop carrying my JS handbag that I LOVE!! Some things are better left unsaid.
but she has great legs and nice extensions
does anyone else find it ironic that this story is under the heading "healthy lifestyle"?
m mIKE Says: Does she use toilet paper to wipe her ass. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////LOL! I bet she doesn't. Before she uses her sweater to wipe the plaque off her teeth, she uses it to wipe her ass. She is a disgusting freak.
what's the big deal? she uses listerine, flosses, and brushes 3 times a week. i do that too in the holidays!
She "needs a little coating" on her teeth?? That coating is plaque and film. Ugh, I just threw up in my mouth.
She needs to tuck her Breast in. They are not even attractive. She looks like a pig. Brush those veneers you BIG FAT PIG
I am a Dentist and she definitely it ot headed for problems. By the time she is 40 she will have serious dental problems.
OMG.... She doesn't like her teeth to be "SLIPPERY"??? That's how they feel when you don't have 5 layers of PLAQUE on top of them!!! Gross!!
OMG that is completely disgusting. So unhealthy. Gross! Gosh, Jessica Simpson is so putrid, she makes me want to vomit.
what a career she has now...doing lame interviews and talking about her atrocious hygiene? you can't feel your teeth anyway unless you are licking then non-stop. dummmasss
She just has a very padded push up bra on that doesn't fit right. That is why some of you are saying things about her breasts that has nothing to do with her teeth.. Gheezzz !!! Stick to the teeth subject here.
For Jessica and all women looking; get a MAN WITH A PLAN!!!!
Jessica, TMI! yuk! Brush your teeth, girl. And you should have kept your life together and your marriage together from way back and stayed with your hubby, Nick Leshey(sp?). You have gone downhill ever since. Get yourself together and get back with him, if he will have you now after all this time.
thats just plain out nasty. I bet she still have John Mayer's jizz on her teeth thats why they are so slippery.
DUMB BLONDE, NOT AS BAD AS FAKE KHATE G THOUGH!
PLEASE, keep your "filthy" mouth SHUT! WHY do these fool celebrities think we need to know this stuff? Isn't ANYTHING private to them? What an idiot this girl is for divulging such a personal stupid thing. Eeeeeww, nasty.
Flossing helps with peridontal disease but also gets the plaque from between your teeth were the toothbrush cant reach. So flossing help from getting cavities between your teeth and brushing helps with the surface of your teeth. You can also get periodontal problem from not brushing your teeth. I just dont understand her mindset. She has to have some kind of mental problem.
