Jessica Today

I read that she at 19 married a 32 year old man. Umm, ya that sounds like a great relationship right there. Great for him because when she is 25 she'll get the almost 1 million dollar trustfund from what happened to her. Pretty sad, she's been reported to be a quiet girl and hounded by the press, to bad she can't grow up to discover who she is and see the world instead of being married before her adult life really starts to a man too old who will benefit from her one million. I truly hope there was a pre-nup! Poor Jessica!

Hopefully she's in a happy and good marriage that's all that counts. I can't say nothing about the age difference cause their isn't much difference between her and her husbands age then with my parents. My mom just turned 18 two days before she married my dad who was 29 1/2 at the time. This commin Jan will be their 30th Annivarsary. I was born 8mos after they married.

Just an FYI-she has an 11 month old baby and has said that she will sign the trust over to him when she turns 25. Whether this happens or not, I don't know. I can just hope that she will do the right thing.

I was watching the "Bart Radio" episode of the Simpsons, Season 3, when Bart tricks everyone into thinking a boy fell down a well. Then, in fact, Bart becomes trapped in a well. It made me think of this movie. I was about 6 when it came out, but I still remembered it quite vividly nearly 20 years later. It's really wierd to reflect on your childhood after so many years and so much has changed. Anyway, the point is I found this online. It's from 2007...

Trustfund? For what happened to her? The government pays it?

I think she got that money through donations
