British music mogul Simon Cowell believes Jessica Simpson owes her recent pop success to the fact that she "pretended" she didn't know the difference between chicken and tuna.

Irresistible singer Simpson is enjoying her most successful musical period to date, following the huge popularity of her and husband Nick Lachey's reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.

Simpson instantly became a household name for her many ditzy quips, including her failure to identify chicken from tuna - which American Idol judge Cowell believes was staged.

He says, "The odd thing about the music industry is that here's a girl who's career wasn't exactly on fire and then she goes on television, pretends that she thinks that Chicken of the Sea is actually chicken and on the back of that sells two million records. It's weird, isn't it?"

yeah, but jessica's album didn't start doing well after that, it didn't start doing well until 'with you' came out.

But with you came out and poked fun at herself for all her "faux paus" from season 1 - so in a way - it did correlate ;)

Simon is an IDIOT. The only reason Jessica's album did so well was because of the exposure, in addition to the song "With You" which she wrote about Nick. Jessica is doing what most of Hollywood does, and that is to make money anyway they can. And there is nothing wrong with that. The only reason Nick's album did not do well, was because of mis-management, and that stupid record label called UNIVERSAL. If Nick's had done as well as Jessica's, trust me, Simon would be critizing NICK too. Simon just want to be seen and heard, p-l-e-a-s-e, we should all just ignore him. He is a nobody who just flirts with Paula each week.......
