Two blonde ex-reality stars turned fashionistas don't see eye-to-eye? Who could've predicted that one?
Nicole Richie and Jessica Simpson are both mentors on Fashion Star, a reality competition for aspiring designers debuting midseason on NBC. But a source tells the new Us Weekly -- on stands now -- that there's "definite friction" between the two women.

"They chat only when they need to, and they have wildly different opinions about style," adds an insider.
Richie, 29, "thinks Jessica doesn't have much of a high-fashion eye" and "makes snarky comments about Jessica's outfits," according to a source.

But Simpson, 31, isn't phased by Richie's digs. She "really doesn't care what Nicole thinks," says an insider. After all, Simpson's fashion empire had $750 million in sales in 2010, while Richie's lines pulled in an estimated $10 million.

"Nicole may know trends, but Jessica believes she know how to make clothes for all kinds of women," says a source. Still, other insiders tell Us the ladies "get along well, and hang out on set."

Tell Us What You Think
13or I mean 750 million..oops!
Jessica does make super cute shoes and cute handbags...the clothes are "okay" but I can imagine she pulled in 75 million
Nicole has great style, Jessica is fat, rich, but fat and she has bad taste in clothes
Jessica s clothes can be bought at Macys and Sears..she also has online ordering along with some home shopping network..she has good stuff and the quality is good as well
I like both of their clothing lines -- but are talented and beautiful. I am sure this "friction" is being hyped up to get attention for the show and that Jess and Nicole are actually friends.
First of all....Where in the world is Jessica Simpson's line sold? I really find it hard to believe it made $750 million.
Jessica Simpson is no dummy. Her fashion empire appeals to MANY types of women and their shapes. To the tune of 750 Million. Nicole is showing a case of jealousy and sour grapes because she is not no where as successful as Jessica. UJessica Simpson rocks it!
Jessica Simpson is no dummy. She far surpasses Nicole Ritchie in sales to the tune of like 750 MILLION! I think this is just a case of sour grapes and jealousy on Nicole's part. Jessica Simpsons fashions are for ALL kinds of women. Not just scrawny size 0 to 2. Jessica Simpson rocks it!
I like both of them...hard working girls and Nicole is doing so much better since she left that ridiculous Reality show with Paris
This should make an interesting show!
I can't wait for this show to start!!
cant say much when their sales have that much difference
