Jessica Simpson Does Rachel Ray!

On Thursday October 5, singer Jessica Simpson spent her afternoon in New York City taping an episode with Rachael Ray on the celebrity chef's self-titled talk show. During their 45-minutes discussion the girls talked about things like Simpson's new album A Public Affair, her first celebrity crush James Dean and the man who currently sets Simpson's heart ablaze Johnny Depp.

Simpson even gushes to the perky host how Depp struck her like lightening when he made a surprise appearance last month at the Teen Choice Awards, which she hosted with Dane Cook. On the subject of food, a favorite of Ray's, Simpson confesses her favorite comfort treats. "Velvetta." Simpson says. "I had to say that, or chicken fried steak is another big one for me. Anything fried, it's a Texas thing."

The program will air on Monday, October 16.
