Jessica Simpson Becomes Beer Spokeswoman

Jessica Simpson has expanded her business empire once again - the entrepreneurial pop star has been signed up to promote beer.

The singer/actress - who recently launched her own clothing line - has teamed up with Dallas' Stampede Brewing Company to become the new face of Stampede Light Plus.

Although terms of the deal were not disclosed, Simpson is reportedly taking on a 15 per cent stake in the company in return for her endorsement.

And Simpson insists she is delighted with the deal. She says, "As an entrepreneur, I am always looking for ways to diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people. Yes, I work out and take care of myself, but I also like a cold beer once in a while."

Along with her own fashion line, Simpson has also launched her own fragrance, range of hair extensions and a bath and body collection.
