Jessica Simpson comes back to reality TV tonight, this time with a more serious mission in "The Price of Beauty" (VH1, 10 pm).

And it makes sense. Goodness knows she was beat up way too much for those unfortunate high-waisted jeans and double belt. Bad fashion choice aside, the real crime seemed to be that she had a fuller figure than we thought she should. Just crazy.

That might send anyone on a journey to explore issues of beauty around the world, which is what Simpson does with pals Ken Paves and CaCee Cobb. Simpson says she hopes in the end to define beauty for herself. Yet based on two episodes, I'm not sure she gets there.
