Jessica Simpson’s ‘The Price of Beauty’ Fails

3/17/2010 by

Despite heavy promotion, the ratings for Jessica Simpson‘s VH1 reality show The Price of Beauty were, well, pretty ugly.

Monday’s premiere attracted just 1 million viewers. Around 487,000 people tuned in for the encore later in the night.

The show got beat by a rerun of NCIS on USA, a TruTV series called Operation Repo and History Channel’s Pawn Stars. Yes, she was beat by Operation Repo… have you seen that show?

Even former American Idol Fantasia Barrino had a stronger debut for her VH1 reality show, Fantasia For Real. (Her show premiere nabbed 2.3 million viewers.)

Reviews for The Price of Beauty — which featured Simpson, 29, and her pals traveling around the world to learn how other cultures define beauty — were mixed.

A VH1 rep said: “We’re very pleased with the show. A million-and-a-half viewers tuned in that night to see the first episode. We expect that audience to build even more.”
