Everyone has their problems - even celebrities! Life has been tricky for many A-listers and it is all too easy to relate to many of their issues. So we enlisted the help of a panel of experts to give their opinions on the stars' problems and give their advice on how you can get your life back on track if you find yourself in a similar situation... In Part 1 we'll take a look at Jessica Simpson

Since splitting from her husband, former 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey, in 2002, Jessica Simpson has rarely been linked to other men. And all of the short-term relationships she has managed to sustain have come to an untimely end after just a few weeks.

The 27-year-old looked like she had it all when she married Nick in a stunning ceremony in October 2002, and shortly afterwards the couple starred in their own reality show detailing their first tenuous steps into marriage.

But Jessica and Nick split in 2005, with their divorce finalized less than a year after their show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica concluded.

Since they went their separate ways, Nick has been dating TV host Vanessa Minnillo and the couple moved in together in April 2007. And despite being linked to a variety of men including Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, a short-lived romance with singer John Mayer, and her current fling with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Jessica doesn't seem to be completely happy in her romances. The blonde beauty is all too aware of her unsuccessful love life and has often complained about being single.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, she says, "I'm tired of being alone. I have no one to call at the end of the night. I'm traveling all over the place by myself. There are moments when I would love to fall asleep with my head on somebody's shoulder just because I was used to that for so long. I miss that."


Expert Opinion: Kate Taylor, Relationship Expert for dating website Match.com: "If like Jessica you have just come out of a serious relationship, you need to take a dating break for at least six months. Until you learn to enjoy your own company and have fun as a singleton, you are going to be a boring partner.

At the moment, Jessica is not being a fun date. She complains about not having anybody's shoulder to fall asleep on. If you find yourself feeling the same you have to take a step back - you are idealizing being in a relationship massively. Many married women would happily exchange their partner's dandruffy, drool-ridden shoulder for the chance to travel the world by themselves, so lighten up, girlfriend!

Jessica is also expecting every new relationship to begin with the same level of intimacy she shared with Nick - it's easy to forget that it took years to build up to that level. You must remember that you can't start calling new boyfriends every night and using them as a sounding board for your problems. They'll quickly get bored.

Instead, try rounding up a pack of fun girlfriends and celebrating your own freedom and success. When you have built yourself a life that is fully complete without a partner, then Mr. Right will appear. And you'll be able to stand next to him as a self-assured equal."
