Jessica Simpson found some time between reportedly reconciling with John Mayer and promoting her "Private Benjamin" rip-off "Major Movie Star" at the Cannes Film Festival to jot down a few ruminations that have been rattling around her noggin.

In a posting on her fansite SweetKisses.net, the rubbery lipped, back-to-blond starlet writes how she spent some time during her recent European sojourn engaged in intellectual pursuits (no, really), going to museums and reading a book about Michelangelo (presumably of Sistine Chapel fame, not "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" fame).

Simpson says two passages in the tome particularly touched her -- "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free," and, "Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage and confidence in the doing" -- and prompted her to pen her own inspirational words of, oh, let's say wisdom.

"Sometimes we are all so afraid to be honest with ourselves because we know that honesty will lead us somewhere off the path of the life we've mapped out in our minds," muses Jess. "Today, I challenge us to ask ourselves this ... What if we allow our fear to provoke us into action? Can facing our fear be what walks us to somewhere better?"

The chicken-and-tuna-confusing former Mrs. Lachey then unnecessarily points out, "I do not have your answers," before going all New Age-y by reflecting, "But in the quest to find my own, I've discovered somewhere worth traveling to ... In my life, I ignore my fears too often, but then I'm left with nothing to challenge the best of me. I just remain cowering from my true identity. There is no discovery."

Speaking of discovery, the New York Daily News has officially proclaimed Simpson and Mayer "back on" after a spy caught the crooner sneaking into his fickle flame's hotel room in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. They reportedly checked out together the next day (Simpson was spotted in Los Angeles Wednesday night).

And finally, it seems Jessica has lived up to her father's infamous proclamation about her double-Ds, namely, "You can't cover those suckers up."

E!'s Marc Malkin says the career and image makeover-needing performer had some trouble wrangling her frequently on-display assets into her gown while working the fest circuit for "Major Movie Star."

"She made a huge scene getting her 'girls' back in her dress," recounts an eyewitness. "She flashed the whole room as she tried to tuck them back in."

Fortunately (or not, depending on whether you prefer your corneas seared), the "whole room" was actually just the ladies' room.
