Become A Mogul, Like Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson's music career may have died following her divorce from Nick Lachey, but she went on to build a fashion empire approaching a worth of $1 billion — which is the kind of business mega luxury label Michael Kors does. The cash didn't stop flowing: Simpson got pregnant, used the press about her never-ending pregnancy to launch a maternity line, and forge a reportedly multi-million dollar Weight Watchers deal. And apparently, you don't even have to be pregnant to get a Weight Watchers deal: the company told Us Weekly they had been talking to Simpson since before she was pregnant.
KATIE'S TAKEAWAY: Focus her post-divorce "sadness" into her work, like the Holmes & Yang line she launched with her stylist last year. Grow the business while settling down with a new romantic partner — someone attractive and known but definitely not more famous than you — gain ten pounds, get Jenny Craig's interest, get pregnant, sign a multi-million deal, then have the baby after an unusually long pregnancy. Everyone will be riveted! Oh also, tweet your way through it to show you have personality. OPTIONAL: acquire mummy costume for said tweeting.
