When it comes to Jessica Simpson, Ken Paves is the ultimate insider: one of Simpson's best friends, the celeb stylist was her companion (along with Cacee Cobb) as she traveled the world to film the docu-series The Price of Beauty.

So how does the 29-year-old singer deal with scrutiny on her body? "She's the the kind of girl who barely looks in the mirror," Paves told UsMagazine.com in Miami Beach Tuesday at the Unite Unveiled event at Skybar at Shore Club.
"She has such a huge conscience," Paves said. "When people call her fat, she worries about the women who are her size or greater and the effect it has on them."

He added: "I don't want anybody saying bad things about you or about me or my friends."
Paves claimed that he's been pigeonholed himself because of his famous BFF. "People always relate me to Jessica," he said. "They think she gave birth to me or something. So they think my whole identity of beauty is blonde, but my mother is Filipino-Portuguese and my father is Romanian Jewish."

Filming Price of Beauty, he said, "was a validation that beauty is diverse and unique and individual." As previously reported, Simpson and Cobb spent some time in a Ugandan "fattening hut."

"I even got waxed in Brazil!" Paves boasted. "It's embarrassing, frightening, painful, and I don't understand, but I had to. I had to walk the walk."
The VH1 show debuts March 15.

34Ok a little late to this but is it me or does she look like a younger version of the woman that spins the letters on Wheel of Fortune?
So, how cute is that - Jessica doesn't brush her teeth. No wonder she can't keep a man! Seriously, someone needs to educate this dummy that not taking care of your teeth will lead to heart disease. She is not a kid any more. At thirty, one should know these things.
rajebs girl, are you so bitter about your life and awful appearance that you have to post a negative comment about every single article. you need therapy, and desperately or just get your huge butt out of that seat more!!
I may not like her music (or acting), but Jessica is absolutely gorgeous. And she seems genuinely sweet and very real, which is quite refreshing for someone in Hollywood.
ok..ok..enough about jessica looking this way or that way...Is she on a road to destruction or something? Just be yourself and stop all this nonsense!
teri - works for Joe
Jessica barely looks in the mirror. Because for a fact,she knows how ugly and fat she is.
love jessica--she's the only celebrity to be halfway normal--i have all of her cd's--she has the best voice--and all of her movies--sure she isn't an oscar actess, but the people who win 99% shouldn't be actors either. love jessica-she is doing great making 50+million a year and doesn't care what pathetic/jealous comments people make about her, it only makes her stronger-- a sweetheart and hello she has been on the cover of how many magazines--including numerous most beautiful--so she is better without her mutt faced ex and his fame chasing floozie--keep holding your head up jessica and i'll keep buying your clothes/makeup/bags/shoes/hair/music/movies/mags/ect.......love ya--keep smiling
she is cute.
Why didnt you start now SD and not write anything? She hurts no one. he's even saying how nice she is . Leave it up to a hater to say something rotten about an article about how nice someone is . Amazing.
Why does she keep making that face? I think i'm going to start boycotting all the articles on every freaking gossip site. join me and she will go away.
Jessica, you're beautiful!! Don't let anyone tell you that you are not!
She's pretty though not the sharpest tool in the shed. I like her better than some celebs, but I have to admit she can also be annoying. I know nothing about this Ken. I still don't know why people keeping saying her jeans aren't as small as she says. They may not be but even so they aren't that big. Some people talk like she's the fattest woman to walk the earth which is unrealistic. Take a walk through a local mall and you'll see a lot of people way bigger than her.
If you watch the new video of Jessica on Letterman, it might just be true that she doesn't look in the mirror. She looked like someone's grandmother!
For the love of all that's holy, please stop with these idiotic articles. Jessica's comments are bad enough, but this guy? Give me a break. Csn we not go one day without this cr@p?
thank you soo much jessica for telling us that there are different levels of beauty, and we are all different. Wow I never would have known. to Quote Judge Judy.. Beauty Fades, Dumb is forever.
This has got to be the most pointless story. Guess what people, Jessica and Ken want the whole world to know that Jessica doesn't look in the mirror. OMG! This certainly is earth shattering news. I have got to tell everyone. OMG! OMG! OMG! According to Ken, Jessica isn't shallow and conceited anymore. Now my day can continue happily that I know this news. Everyone follow Jessica and put down your mirrors. Jessica and ken have spoken. All lovers of Jessica on this site rejoice, For her gorgeousness has spoken. NOT!!!!
Another dumb story about Jessica to plug her show again. I don't believe Ken Paves for one second. If Jessica lied on televison about the size of her mom jeans ( size 4 please, not even in her nightmares,) then how can she be "true to herself". If you people want to believe these liars, thats your business, but don't put people down just because they don't like Jessica. She is the most over rated person since all she is about is her weight. She's not about anything else. Sad and Pathetic
Paves claimed that he's been pigeonholed himself because of his famous BFF. "People always relate me to Jessica," he said. _____________________________________ Gee Ken, I wonder why they do that, is it because you're always up her a$$ when the cameras are around, or because she pays for your company because she can't keep a decent man around?
what do you people have against her?? I wasn't a fan initially, but up till now, i've never heard her bad mouth ANY of her ex's, her interviews are classy and she's a great example of beauty inside & out.
