Jessica Simpson Retires From Hollywood! ’She's 100 Percent Done With Acting,’ Insider Reveals

Jessica Simpson never wants to act again and would love to leave Los Angeles!
But the mother-of-two stays in the sunny entertainment capital — because her husband Eric Johnson loves to play golf, a source revealed.
"Jessica has told friends that she's 100 percent done with acting and never wants to read another script," the insider explained of Simpson.
"Although critics laugh about her 'acting,' the truth is, she could make a couple of million dollars a year just with the network guest starring roles she's offered as well as TV commercials, which she doesn't enjoy.
More than ever Jessica is strictly a businesswoman — with such lucrative ventures as her shoe line — and a mom and she just doesn't care at all about being an entertainer or part of the social scene of film making in L.A."
But now, the source explained, "She really keeps L.A. as their home base for Eric -- his closest friends live there and he's so addicted to golf that the weather makes it one of the best places to live.
"Jessica loves New York City but they don't live there full time because Eric needs to be out on the golf course even in the winter."
