" Cosmo: Does the popularity of Newlyweds surprise you? Jessica: It did at first, but now I understand that couples go through similar things that Nick and I do. It&amp;#039;s great because people love us for being us. When you grow up in the music industry, trying to be Britney Speas because that&amp;#039;s what sells records and then you realize, All I have to do is be myself.? I should have thought of that a long time ago, it feels good to have success come from what&amp;#039;s actually inside of you. C: Is Nick your muse for writing your songs? J: I definitely use Nick as an inspiration. He is the reason why I write about love. He&amp;#039;s what I have to think about; he is my music. C: Would you guys ever do an album together? J: We actually almost did, but record label politics got in the way. It&amp;#039;s silly. But eventually, that&amp;#039;s something we would really like to do. C: You have two singers in one house. Is there ever any competition between you two? J: Our competition is healthy. We&amp;#039;re each other&amp;#039;s biggest critic and biggest fan And God bless Nick right now, he&amp;#039;s the best husband in the world. Everything that&amp;#039;s going on in my career is so incredibly positive and he is having to deal with crappy this and crappy that. But Nick is a man of character, and he roots for me no matter what. He wants me to succeed. C: What can you tell us about your reality show on ABC this fall? J: It&amp;#039;s script meets reality. My name will be Jessica Sampson, and I play a singer and a spokesperson. I&amp;#039;m single, but I will hae the same ditsy personality. In the first episode, I&amp;#039;m late for this 20/20-type interview. I end up taking over the interview and they hire me to be a host. That&amp;#039;s where reality comes in. I&amp;#039;ll do interviews with real athletes, celebrities, and politicians. Some of it will be scripted, but a lot of it will be me making a fool out of myself. I don&amp;#039;t know how to interview a football player. C: And you&amp;#039;re okay with making a fool of yourself? J: Absolutely. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you. I&amp;#039;m very ditsy and a klutz. I&amp;#039;ve been known to walk on stage and fall over my dress. But I used to run off out of embarrassment. Now I laugh my butt off and hope everyone in the audience will laugh too. C: What&amp;#039;s been the most surprising thing about marriage? J: That it&amp;#039;s hard. There&amp;#039;s a lot of compromise involved. It&amp;#039;s totally not a fairy tale. I cherish the arguments we get into sometimes though, because it ultimately makes us a better couple. C: One of the arguments you got into on the show was when Nick said there wasn&amp;#039;t enough sex in your first year of marriage. How do you deal with that? J: I don&amp;#039;t think guys can have enough sex period. Nick and I would watch Sex and the City, and I am not Samantha. But I&amp;#039;m not conservative in bed either. Let&amp;#039;s put it this way: Nick is taken care of. C: A huge deal was made about how you waited for marriage to have sex. In retrospect, are you glad you held off?, J: I was a little over-the-top on that decision, but I don&amp;#039;t regret making that vow. Even when I met Nick and I knew that he was going to be The One, it was like, I&amp;#039;ve come this far. Even if I was tempted, which happened a lot, he would be like &amp;quot;No, you will regret it.&amp;quot; C: What&amp;#039;s the most misleading thing for fans on Newleyweds? J: They&amp;#039;d never show me having an intellectual conversation. You see a lot of depth in Nick. And me, it&amp;#039;s just spending too much money and not knowing how to do housework. I&amp;#039;m actually a good cook. I may be a mess with flour on my nose, but I&amp;#039;m a good wife. C: Your dad is the producer on the show. Does he edit stuff out? J: If I&amp;#039;m gossiping big-time, he&amp;#039;ll take it out. And he took on a fatherly role in an episode when I&amp;#039;m sunbathing. My top was undone, and they shot me from the side, focusing on my boob 10 times. My dad was like &amp;quot;Okay, I know I&amp;#039;m being a father, but cut that.&amp;quot; Other than that, nothing&amp;#039;s really edited out. C: Why do you think it&amp;#039;s so important to let it all hang out\u2014the burping, the farting? J: Because it&amp;#039;s going to happen, and I think it&amp;#039;s funy when I have an incredible burp or when I clear out a room because I farted so bad, it&amp;#039;s horrible. I think if you can laugh about that, you just have more fun in life. C: Is there anything that you think is important to keep from your man? J: Receipts. C: Do you hope to go into movies eventually? J: Absolutely. I have had tons of movie offers lately, and I&amp;#039;ve turned down every one of them. I want my first movie to jump-start a huge acting career. I don&amp;#039;t want it to be some horror movie just to watch myself on the big screen. It&amp;#039;s about developing myself into a Julia Roberts, so I don&amp;#039;t take anything that I don&amp;#039;t think Julia Roberts would take. C: That&amp;#039;s a pretty lofty goal\u2026 J: Yeah, but there are a couple movies scripts right now that I absolutely love. I&amp;#039;m in love with Dukes of Hazzard. It&amp;#039;s the funniest script I&amp;#039;ve ever read. I&amp;#039;ve taken some meetings on that, and I know I&amp;#039;m being considered for Daisy Duke. And I really want to do I Dream of Jeannie. I would love to wear the ponytail and the outfit and bling my head. I just think that would be a natural role for me.
