Jessica Signs 35 Million Dollar Deal

Jessica Simpson has signed an astounding $35 million deal to remain with Columbia Records, the label she's been with since 1998. Jessica Simpson's gigantic contract makes her the youngest artist ever to have such an earning. Jessica Simpson will release four new albums and one greatest-hits compilation, and according to the contract, will get $8 million up front. However, since her divorce with Nick Lachey is not finalized yet, he may end up with half of that money.
