Jessica Simpson watches TV… religiously?

From Kabbalah to Scientology, celebrity spirituality often errs on the side of the unusual. But now Jessica Simpson has drawn divine inspiration from… TV?

The Dukes of Hazzard star has told Marie Claire about her keenness to get theological.

“I’ve been contemplating taking a college course in religion. I love religion,” she said.

Jessica’s sudden enthusiasm for faith isn’t the result of her talking to the likes of Madonna, Tom Cruise or even Buddhist Richard Gere. Instead, it’s all thanks to a documentary.

“I remember whenever the book The Da Vinci Code came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I TiVoed and then watched eight times.”

Perhaps Jessica’s reality TV series Newlyweds inspired someone to study marriage counselling.
