Jessica Simpson found one brand new activity besides
singing: promoting healthy beer! If you thought that healthy is an adjective
that doesn’t work for beer, think again! The country star says she liked
Stampede Light Plus beer from Dallas-based Stampede Brewing Company so much
because it “consistent with her healthy lifestyle and values,” her publicist
said. More exactly, Stampede is full of vitamin B.
Jessica first tried Stampede in Dallas and liked it so much
that she wanted to meet the owner and she currently owns a 15 percent share in
the brewer, her rep told the Daily News on Wednesday. Simpson will also appear
in ads for Stampede Light Plus.
As the beer’s name suggests, the drink aims at helping girls
maintain their bodies, while being able to enjoy a beer instead the usual tonic
water with lemon.
“Yes, I work out and take care of myself, but I also like a
cold beer once in a while,” Simpson said, trying to address any possible
negative rumors.
Lawrence Schwartz, Stampede's president and chief executive,
told E! Online he was proud that Jessica Simpson was the face of the brand now,
as she was “America’s sweetheart and an internationally known entertainer who
takes care of herself.” He said Jessica’s health can be seen both in her smile
or skin, as well as in her confident attitude and “her obvious physical
fitness.”
So far, Simpson has promoted zit creams and her hairdresser’s
hair extensions and thinks of herself as a good entrepreneur.
“As an entrepreneur, I am always looking for ways to
diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people,” the native Texan said
in a statement.
