Jessica Simpson Collection to Include Childrens Line

Jessica Simpson’s clothing line is set to design children’s footwear. Stride Rite Corp. announced Tuesday that they entered a global licensing agreement with Camuto Group, which distributes Simpson’s collection. The footwear company says a new line for children will be designed and ready in 2008. Stride Rite officials say the line will be available in major department stores, specialty retailers, and Stride Rite stores nationwide beginning in 2008’s holiday season.

Simpson’s clothing line maybe a success but her latest film is not. ‘Blonde Ambition’ was put on limited release in Texas theaters only. The film, which also starred Luke Wilson, is said to have brought in less than $400 its opening weekend. Meanwhile, the singer is dating Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. She recently accompanied him on a radio interview in Texas. The pair were first linked when Romo spent Thanksgiving with the Simpson family.
