Jessica Simpson shut down rumors that she drops some serious cash to maintain her sun-kissed glow. Simpson, 45, opened up about always having the perfect tan in a new Elle interview published on Thursday, April 2. When asked about the age-old rumor that she used to spend $1,000 weekly to keep her skin freshly bronzed, she laughed and said, "No, $1,000? Gosh. I'd rather have lain out in the sun." "Maybe it depends if you're going to factor in a vacation with that budget," Simpson added. Now, she views a vacation as an opportunity to get a "healthy" tan.
