Jessica Simpson After Early Show Exclusive Engagement Interview

Singer and entrepenuer Jessica Simpson seen leaving CBS 'The Early Show' studio in New York, NY where she reportedly talked exclusively for the first time about her recent engagement to former football player Eric Johnson on November 22nd, 2010.

Jessica Simpson Speaks Out About New Boyfriend

Though she often finds herself the subject of the latest celebrity gossip, Jessica Simpson is speaking out herself about her relationship with her new boyfriend Eric Johnson, who used to play in the NFL. Dailystar.co.uk quoted her as saying, “He's my dude! I love him.”

Simpson, who has a line of shoes and other fashion accessories plus a career in music, also said, “If right now could last forever, I'd take it.” She used to be married to Nick Lachey, and had relationships with John Mayer and quarterback Tony Romo that were closely followed by the tabloid press.

Jessica Simpson, Eric Johnson Closer as Ken Paves Distances Himself

It was recently determined that singer and celebrity fashion trend setter Jessica Simpson was no longer hanging out with once-BFF and hair stylist Ken Paves, with whom she designed a collection of hair pieces. When asked about the situation at an Operation Smile event in LA, Paves was vague, but indicated that he is no longer taking care of Simpson's locks. The only comment he would make concerning his long-term friendship with Jessica was “We're both busy and busy is good."

Meanwhile, Simpson's romantic relationship with pro football player Eric Johnson is freer to go forward now that Johnson's divorce has been finalized. He and now ex-wife Keri had been married for five years.

Jessica Simpson Enjoys Time With Eric Before Fashion Week!

Singer turned designer Jessica Simpson mad her way out with her former NFL player boyfriend Eric Johnson enjoyed an evening out in New York City, New york on September 8, 2010. Jessica will be very busy this up coming week with the launch of her jeanswear line and her spring 2011 collection during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week events.

Jessica Simpson Paid a Witch to Curse Tony Romo

Jessica Simpson visited a woman she met on the internet to help her put a curse on ex-boyfriend Tony Romo so that he will not find love again. The football star dumped Jessica last month on the night before her 29th birthday.

“Jessica is normally a really sweet girl, but she still can’t believe Tony callously dumped her," a source told the National Inquirer Magazine.

“She found a woman in California. The two met at the star’s Beverly Hills home where they lit a candle, burned some incense and performed a couple of incantations.”

The scorned singer-and-actress hopes the curse will also affect his career and is waiting to see the outcome of his next game on September 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Meanwhile, Jessica has been seen getting friendly with football star Colt Brennan – a Washington Redskins quarterback and rival of Tony’s. She has even been sent one of his team's shirts to wear.

Jessica Simpson's new reality TV show

Jessica Simpson is set to star in a new reality TV show about women's body issues. The show will potentially be called The Price of Beauty and Simpson along with a friend will travel the world to discover different standards of beauty. The star was criticized for wearing unflattering jeans earlier this year, but she knows that being judged on her looks is all a part of her career. "It comes with what I do, and I know that every day the media's going to challenge me," Simpson said.

She plans to be very hands on with the show and will even try out some of the various things women do to make themselves beautiful. Nothing has been finalized with the show so far, but Simpson's rep has confirmed that she is working on a new show.

Jessica Simpson's Mayer Meal

Jessica Simpson reportedly enjoyed an intimate lunch with ex-boyfriend John Mayer.

The singer-and-actress, who is currently dating American football star Tony Romo, secretly met John for a meal in Calabasas, California, recently and onlookers claimed they couldn't contain their joy at seeing each other.

One source told gossip website X17Online: "They were keen not to be seen together but they looked so happy to be in each other's company. It looked to me like they were more than just good friends!"

Musician John - who has been single since breaking up with Jennifer Aniston earlier this year - split from Jessica in November 2007. Friends claim the blonde beauty was left devastated by the end of the relationship.

Last year, it was claimed Jessica went on a drinking binge to drown her sorrows after learning John was dating Jennifer.

However, the 28-year-old beauty has always insisted she is happier than ever with Tony as he "saved" her.

Jessica - who is divorced from Nick Lachey - said: "I would always fall for guys I wanted to save. For the first time, I fell in love with someone who saved me."

Jennifer Love Hewitt: Do as I say, not as I do

I love Hollywood. It's predictable and today's world, we need to know some things will never change. Enter Jennifer Love Hewitt. She made a name on her sexy slim body and I think -- her acting skills.

Then she plumpted up. Nice and shapely of course unless you are the ever watching gossip world that builds you up, and tears you down, then builds you up and tears you down again. It's a cycle. Of course I know some gossip writers that just tear down.

Well Jennifer Love-Hewitt, God bless her. She put on some weight and was miserable about it. Why? She found out that Hollywood is superficial. No really! It is.

What's a girl to do? Well when my girl Jessica Simpson followed suit and became wide around the middle, Jennifer came to her rescue voicing to the press to leave poor Jessica alone. Again, let's get this straight folks. In Hollywood, when you make a name for yourself based on your beauty, you need to recognize that the vultures will pounce once it fades. Jessica was getting slammed for not just losing her sexy Daisy Duke Jessica Simpson bod, but for losing that bod in what appeared overnight.

Back to our story... Jennifer was so kind. She asked gossip writers to lay off Jessica for getting fat. Then she did this... Bam!
Go figure. Or should I say... Go figure! Welcome back to the spotlight Jennifer. Let's see how long you stay slim. The tear down will begin again. You know I said Hollywood was predictable. I should add, it's also hypocritical. Think Jessica will trot out a new look in weeks to come?

Jessica Simpson Getting Golf Lessons

Jessica Simpson has asked Tiger Woods for golfing lessons.

The singer-and-actress - who has been sporting a seemingly fuller figure of late - wants to embrace a healthier lifestyle and so asked the US sportsman for tips.

A source said: "Jessica is taking it seriously. She even asked if Tiger Woods would give her some pointers, but he's been busy with his new baby."

As well as helping her to get in shape, Jessica, 28, thinks learning to play golf will bring her closer to her American football star boyfriend Tony Romo.

Jessica is taking it seriously. She even asked if Tiger Woods would give her some pointers, but he's been busy with his new baby.
Tony is a huge fan of the pastime, so Jessica thinks it could be the perfect way for them to spent time together.

She has already signed up for a set of lessons, and has splashed out $8,400 on a Louis Vuitton golf bag and clubs to ensure she looks stylish as she learns.

Jessica Simpson Desperate To Wed

Jessica Simpson is worried her boyfriend will never propose.

The singer-and-actress has been dating American football quarterback Tony Romo for around 16 months, and is becoming increasingly frustrated at his unwillingness to commit.

A source claims Jessica said: "I know Tony loves me, but I don't know if he'll ever propose."

Jessica, 28, was convinced Tony, also 28, would pop the question on Valentine's Day (14.02.09) and was left devastated when he failed to do so.

A source said: "Jessica was really hoping she was going to get an engagement ring. She wanted one for Christmas, then she thought maybe New Year's Eve (31.12.08). Her last hope was that Tony would propose on Valentine's Day - but he didn't."

Jessica was not happy. He just wasn't picking up on the fact that she was starting to lose her patience.

The star was also said to be furious after Tony took her for a meal at exclusive New York restaurant The Waverly Inn but spent much of the evening texting on his phone.

A witness said: "Jessica was not happy. He just wasn't picking up on the fact that she was starting to lose her patience."

Jessica has been discussing her relationship woes with her 24-year-old sister Ashlee - who has three-month-old son Bronx Mowgli with her husband Pete Wentz - and her friends, who are also concerned Tony will never make her his wife.

A source told America's OK! magazine: "Ashlee has always been the more realistic, the more practical of the two sisters. And Ashlee knows how much her sister wants to be married and have a baby of her own. But as wonderful as Tony is, he is not the marrying kind - probably not for years."

Maybe She Just Needs A Better Stylist

Okay, perhaps Jessica Simpson just needs to choose a better wardrobe stylist and find someone that get pick out flattering clothes for her figure. Yes, the high waisted jeans and leopard belt attire at the chili cookoff in Florida was disastrous and didn't accentuate anything good on Jessica's body. But look at this recent picture - she looks fine! Healthy!

Simpson performed at a Charleston, W.V., concert in tight jeans, high black boots, and a scarf around her neck, hanging down to her thighs. She looks much better than that horrible outfit she was spotted in last week. We approve, leave poor Jessica alone. If she wants to eat a hamburger, let her. Ha!

What Men Really Think: Is Jessica Simpson Fat?

I'd like to kick off a new column of mine, What Men Really Think with the topic of Jessica Simpson.

It appears PCM was on the front end of the news this past week readers when we posted the story about Jessica Simpson being fat: Jessica Simpson Eats Tony Romo. I myself took the position that Jessica Simpson got fat. Now the latest rage is to catch more photos of Jessica Simpson looking fat.

Many other bloggers and gossip sites ran with it, and will continue to run with it.

But what of the mainstream media? Like E! and Entertainment Tonight. They took the so-called high road and defended Jessica. Well, here is the truth. Not really. Let's face it. Jessica Simpson put on weight and it is news. It's news because she has marketed herself as a vixen. When she loses that shape, men will notice. Editors and writers that are men, will comment. Even female editors that have it in for beautiful women that fall from grace will run with it; I believe you women have a term for that type of woman. Some of you are even foolish enough to be proud of it. I digress.

And what of E! and Entertainment Tonight? Oh... they notice too. They want to ride the wave of Jessica's increased size and proportions. They mask their goal of milking this news by playing the "good guy" card. In this case, trying to say that Jessica is not fat or finding other celebs to say Jessica Simpson is not fat. Of course they are obviously going to sympathize and say nice things!

But readers... if you want the truth, you don't ask any celebrity to tell the truth unless it paints them in a positive light. That is why E! and Entertainment Tonight didn't ask Howard Stearn for a quote. Nor did they ask me. But that is why you are here reading my column.


Here is the truth. Is Jessica Simpson fat? Well, but a man's standards she is not obese. But men are critical. On a whole. And while some men like women that are bigger or fat, most men look for a woman that has curves in the right places. Big chest, small waist and curvy bubble butts. Jessica lost that. For now. Maybe for good. But she is NOT the slender Jessica that was in the Dukes of Hazard. She isn't even the one before she met Tony Romo (QB Dallas Cowboys). Why she is bigger is her business. I really don't care. I never listened to her sing, and I don't know why she is even a celebrity other than her looks. The woman has been a stunner for years. It shows the level of mediocrity of what we Americans accept for entertainers in that we put more merit on looks than substance. There are great bands out there with no air-play while radio hands us music with no soul from pop divas.

Jessica Simpson got fat. And fat is a relative term here. Is she huge? No, of course not. But ask any guy at a water cooler if she is fat now and they will say yes. She was slender, now she's not. The short answer you'll get is, "she's fat" but it's meant as a relative term. It's how men's minds operate. Ask them in the presence of any woman, and they'll lie just like we do to our wives when they put on weight and ask is if they look fat in a dress.

But if you want the truth, you found it here. Men do think she got fat. And for her, that is her every reason for being on a stage or in front of a camera. With no dopamine triggering in our brains, we are more prone to actually expecting to be entertained. Dukes of Hazard defines that point. I mean tell me one song of Jessica Simpson's that has made top 40? Hell, tell me one song of Jessica Simpson's?

Do you expect me to brow beat this woman for putting on weight? No I won't. I'm just calling it like I see it. And to all you celebrities that are on camera and video defending poor Jessica, I get it. But don't think I don't know the truth. You will be at a party among friends saying the same damn thing as everyone else... "I can't believe it, Jessica got fat!" Hypocrites.

The only thing this type of news really does is pave the way for the next Jessica Simpson. So who is going to step up and take center stage? Lady GaGa? I hear she had a nose job. Pick, pick, pick.

And of course readers, if you want the truth you'll find it here at PCM. I for one won't run down celebrities without cause and will tell it like it is. Remember the name, Kitt Badlove. Stop back soon for another column of: What Men Really Think.

Jessica Simpson ignored critics by performing in figure hugging clothes

Jessica Simpson ignored her critics by performing in a figure-hugging jacket and skin-tight trousers last night.

The singer's apparent weight gain was criticized when she sang in Florida last weekend.


And she made a thinly veiled retort to the jibes at a concert in Charlottesville, Virginia.

'Please remember, no matter what you go through in life, somebody else might have it harder,’ she told her fans.

'I feel like in our world today we focus on so many things that are completely pointless.

'Thank you for your support. Stay positive, and pray out loud.'

Meanwhile, TV star Kim Kardashian has defended Jessica: ‘Call me crazy, but when I saw the picture, I was like, "Oh my God, Jessica looks hot!"’

Jessica Simpson faces cheat claims

Jessica Simpson's boyfriend has been accused of cheating on her.

American football player Tony Romo reportedly visited Hollywood hotspot My House on January 16 - hours after the 28-year-old singer has flown out of Los Angeles - and then invited a group of people back to the home he shares with Jessica.

With the party in full swing, it is alleged Tony - who has been dating Jessica since November 2007 - disappeared upstairs with a stunning brunette for the rest of the evening.

A source told America's Star magazine: "Everyone was talking about it downstairs. The girls were saying it was so wrong and shady of Tony to cheat on Jessica - especially in her place! I just can't believe he would hook up with another woman at his own girlfriend's house."

Neither Jessica or Tony have commented on the claims.

Jessica has recently been the subject of scathing comments about her seemingly fuller figure, prompting her sister Ashlee to leap to her defence.

Ashlee wrote on her blog: "I am completely disgusted. Since when did a woman's weight become newsworthy? How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticise a size two figure?

"I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure."

Jessica Simpson SUED!

Things are really not going well for Jessica Simpson!

Back in 2005, she shot an exercise video for the "Speedfit System." (See above)

She was desperate for work even back then...and apparently suffering from a bit of the Lindsay Lohan because she was reportedly "a mess during the shoot," showing up "tipsy." Or do they mean "ditzy?"

Either way, the company asked for a do-over, which Simpson refused, and now, owner Alex Astilean is suing Jessica for a $10 million breach of contract.

Jessica should do more than reshoot the video, she should sign up for the program - stat!

Leave Jessica ALOOOOOOOOONE!

Razzie nominated Kim Kardashian saw a chance to snatch some publicity, so she piggybacked on all the fat-flack Jessica Simpson's been receiving, defending the "curvier" country singer.

No stranger to curve comments, Kim says, "I actually love the outfit. I think she looks amazing. I love high-waisted jeans, I loved that belt, and her hair looked fabulous," adding, "When I saw that picture, I knew everyone was going to say something. And I thought, 'You know what? Leave Jessica alone!' She's fabulous, she's a really sweet girl, and I admire her for putting up with it."

Jessica Simpson Eats Tony Romo

In a stunning development of bad clothing and hot bodies gone wrong... It appears Jessica Simpson has eaten her Dallas Cowboys quarterback boyfriend Tony Romo.

The real question is, Jessica! What have you done? Not only have you decided you don't love that hot body of yours and let it go to hell, you've gone with some sort of 1980's mom jeans look. Say it ain't so!

Well, at least we still have Jessica Alba. Err... I spoke too soon.

26. INCOGNITO: "Years ago, we went through this poetry phase, so we went to a little bookstore in Los Feliz. She had her hair pulled back, looking like Bookworm McGillicutty, and we were standing in line, and this girl says to Jessica, 'Please don't take this personally, but you look like a really smart version of Jessica Simpson.'

38. MUNCHIES: "Back when we were on tour, she introduced me to her favorite ice cream that's made in Texas: Blue Bell Cookies 'n Cream ice cream. We bought some, ate a little on the bus, and then put it in the freezer and checked in to our hotel. But in the middle of the night, we got the code to get into the tour bus, then went in, sat down, and ate the whole tub." - Jessie Holiday

JESSICA WEIGHS IN
"I collect lucky pennies that I find on the ground. I keep them in a Ziploc bag."
"I wear my grandmother's wedding ring on my thumb. She passed away, and I feel like she is my guardian angel, so I always keep the wedding ring on. Her wedding ring, not mine!"
"I've been contemplating taking a college course in religion. I love religion. I remember whenever the book The Da Vinci Code came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I Tivoed and then watched eight times."

"I enjoy holding on to certain moments in my life. For instance, I found this $9 red iron rocking chair, and every time I look at it, I think of the first time I saw a rainbow: I was sitting on my grandfather's lap in a rocking chair that looked just like it. Or the first time I was onstage with Willie Nelson, he gave me his guitar pick. So I put it behind a black-and-white photo I framed of he and I. People don't know that the pick's there, but I do."

"I am the first person to go to Barnes & Noble and buy the new self-help book. I like to fill out the surveys, then I get my friends' opinions on how I answered to see if I was being honest with myself or not."

Jessica Simpson: Singer wants to become more spiritual

SINGER Jessica Simpson says she wants to take a college course in religion.

The star has been inspired to explore her spiritual side after seeing a documentary on The Da Vinci Code, which claims Jesus married and fathered a child.

"I've been contemplating taking a college course in religion. I love religion," Simpson told Marie Claire magazine.

"I remember whenever the book The Da Vinci Code came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I recorded it and then watched eight times."

Simpson is divorced from 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey and is now dating American football player Tony Romo.

She became famous for her misunderstandings when she starred in MTV reality show Newlyweds with Lachey.

Her most memorable blunders included thinking tinned tuna brand Chicken of the Sea was actually chicken, and believing buffalo wings were made of buffalos instead of chicken.

Simpson is not the only star thinking about going to university. Harry Potter actor Emma Watson has been seen visiting US universities, while Kate Bosworth, who deferred her offer of a place at America's prestigious Princeton University as a teenager, recently revealed she is considering further study.
