[edit] New Album??

i think that there needs to be more info about her new ablum. Is it really being released? what kind of music? approx. date of release? i think any info would be good if its possible! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.169.216.39 (talk) 12:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC) Nope, there isn't going to be one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.138.47.74 (talk) 01:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image

i think the picture should be changed. i love jessica but i dont really like that particular photo. its the side of her face! i think a more frontal shot and longer shot would look wicked!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.210.38 (talk) 10:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

ok i might be being abit picky but i dont really like this picture either its way to dark! besides it has damien lieth in it aswell. it should only be of her —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.169.216.39 (talk) 12:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I think a citation is needed about the Cherokke Indian Descent. It is very doubtful. 203.171.95.32 10:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I added citation to that text. I'd actually seen the video where Jess explains her background. So I cited it, though not well, someone might want to do a better job. I dont usually edit articles.

What do you mean it is doubtful? We are not going to list what we think they are...we are going to list what they claim they are. You may not see Cherokee in Jess, but i dont think its impossible...but still, what comes from her mouth is the best source to rely on. --Raux 04:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

thats not always true. Take for instance Vanessa Minnillo she claimed in a magazine she was Polynesian instead of Filipino because she did'nt want people associating her with being Asian American.

Conclusion

OK, I'm taking it on myself to bust this one. I'm not sure that Jessica herself knows that the word "Cherokee" means American Indian. But I know, and I know Jessica, so here is my justification:

I married Ivonny Elva Mauboy (06/07/1959) in 1985 in Sydney. Ivonny is Jessica's father's little sister, ie her auntie. Jessica's mother, Therese has both Aboriginal and Indian (ie Indian from the sub-continent) blood but no American Indian. On her father's side, Jessica is pure Timorese, that is West Timorese, from Kefamananu, NTT, Indonesia.

So, as I said I will take it on myself to update this topic.````Baxter de Wahl````
