Jessica Simpson: Thinner, More Health-Conscious
Whether it’s food or Eric Johnson, Jessica Simpson is very thoughtful about what she puts into her body. As a result, she’s looking a lot better lately!
The popular 1990s/early 2000s singer appeared thinned out on the new cover of Lucky magazine, and she is opening up about struggle to stay fit.
“I think a woman always stresses out about their weight,” she says.
“It’s just a woman thing - unless you’re the women we don’t like that are supermodels that are just naturally fantastic. But I’m a curvy girl. I have to always be conscious of everything I’m putting into my body, if I’m going to be working out.”
Jessica Simpson now and early last year. Nice!
Jessica also set the record straight about rumors that she’s been asked to become a judge on American Idol. Shocker alert - that was just a rumor.
“I mean, I don’t think so,” she says. “I haven’t gotten a phone call.”
If she were to become a judge, though, how would she react to it?
“I’m not a very judgmental person, so I could probably stick my foot in my mouth a couple times,” she says, though she does have something to offer.
“I am a singer and I do know if it’s going to happen for someone or not.”

Eric Johnson Drops Out of Business School to Date Jessica Simpson Full-Time
Jessica Simpson and new boyfriend Eric Johnson are spending plenty of time together, as evidenced by their Twitter kiss and all that good stuff.
How serious are they getting? More than you might think. People says that Johnson has ditched plans to attend business school in Pennsylvania.
Is that so the former NFL player can devote more time to dating Jess? Is he just using her, as some sources have suggested in the past month?
A friend of his says no … but confirms he did put off grad school.

Eric Johnson had planned to attend the prestigious Wharton Business School’s MBA program this month, but “decided against it,” says the friend. “There were a lot of factors that went into his decision.” We can think of two big ones.
“Jessica supports whatever he wants to do. He has a lot going on.”
She won raves for her Entourage cameo, is reportedly in the running to become an American Idol judge, and has a new VH1 project in the works.
“She is in pre-production for a new show,” a TV insider says without elaborating. “It will be the next step to her VH1 series, The Price of Beauty.”
No word if the show will be called The Price of Hotness.
Jessica Simpson Kisses Boyfriend For Twitter
Jessica Simpson is getting a little desperate for attention these days if you ask us isn’t afraid to show the world her love for new beau Eric Johnson.
The one-time singer and actress posted a shot of her smooching her latest squeeze (a Yale graduate AND former NFL player) on her Twitter page.
“Romance 101… getting kissed by my Yalie… me not lookin’ so smart… :)” she wrote. “but YUM!” Pretty much sums it all up right there …
Jessica Simpson is in love - and wants the world to know!
It’s good to see her happy, but should we be concerned?
Fueling rumors that Eric Johnson is just using her, rumors surfaced this weekend that he pulled out of the two-year business program at the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton school to remain in L.A. with the star.
Even though they’ve only been together eight weeks, a source says: “He doesn’t want to move to Philadelphia and leave her so soon after they got together.”
Plus, living with/sponging off Jessica Simpson has to beat an MBA in market value, are we right? It doesn’t take a Yale degree to figure that out …

Jessica Simpson Considered as American Idol Judge?
Will Jessica Simpson replace Simon Cowell on American Idol?
It’s possible, according to Life & Style!
So is Mel Gibson winning Humanitarian of the Year honors, but hey. Anything’s possible! Why not run with it for some quick hits if you’re a third-rate magazine?
According to the celebrity gossip rag, Jessica is in negotiations to become the newest judge on American Idol! Sources say that she has already met with the producers and everyone really “likes” her. Now, it’s just a matter of fitting her in.
Riiiiight.
BAG IT: Whatever “source” planted this story must be closely tied to Jessica, whose career loses relevancy by the month. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
Had this news surfaced a year ago, with Jessica’s name thrown around as a possible replacement Paula Abdul, that would at least make some sense.
They have similar a “temperament,” you could say.
Jessica replacing Simon Cowell, though? We don’t see it happening, although maybe we’re wrong. Compare her to some of the other rumored replacements whose names have surfaced in recent weeks and vote in our survey below …
Jessica Simpson to Mourn Dog on Entourage
Jessica Simpson’s dog Daisy was snatched by a coyote last year.
Ari Gold will try to smooth things over on Entourage next week.
Earlier this season on the HBO series, viewers were informed that the singer’s dog died, which of course happened in real life. On the show, the singer was also upset over her lack of face time with the man in charge of Miller Gold.
Jessica and Daisy in happier times.
At the time, Ari tried to get back on Jessica’s good side using another adorable little dog in the process. Things don’t go well. This time, Simpson curses Ari off and also teases a transfer to new representation … in the form of Lizzie.

Eric Johnson: Just Using Jessica Simpson?
Is Jessica Simpson being used solely for money by new boyfriend Eric Johnson? That’s what sources reportedly close to the star say, but we highly doubt it.
Having sex with her probably plays a role in his thinking as well.
In any case, Jessica has been involved in some crash-and-burn love affairs since divorcing Nick Lachey, and pals fear she’s headed down that path again.
She been dating Eric Johnson for only two months, but sources say that’s been plenty of time for the former tight end to swoop in, move in and cash in!
Jess’ friends fear that her unemployed new boyfriend, who hasn’t held a steady gig since he was cut by the New Orleans Saints in 2008, is using her.
Eric Johnson can’t wait to tackle Jessica Simpson … but is he motivated only by dollar signs? The photo above hints at some other sources of interest, most likely.
On top of living in her $5 million Redwood, Calif., mansion, he accompanied her to Italy for her 30th birthday where he lived it up in a $3,000-a-night suite.
The pair lounged aboard her $5,000-a-day chartered yacht and dined at only the finest restaurants, including Monzù in Capri’s five-star hotel Punta Tragara.
Not a bad life, although he is a Yale graduate and former NFL player, not some deadbeat with no money or potential job prospects … in theory anyway.
“Jessica is so starved for love, she just doesn’t see any of Eric’s faults,” an insider reports. “She’s totally been paying for everything in their relationship.”
“It doesn’t seem like Eric intends to stop that anytime soon.”
Celebrity Hairstyle Showdown: Jessica Simpson vs. Carrie Underwood
Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood both have some great hair.
Both stars recently made a French connection of sorts, with plaiting just at the hairline to keep their waves beachy. It’s a look that works best on both Jessica, who recently started dating Eric Johnson, and Carrie, who just married Mike Fisher.
Which Tony Romo ex-girlfriend looked best, though? Vote below!
Who has better hair?
Spotted: Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson!
Jessica Simpson touched down at LAX from Munich last night and was seen with Eric Johnson, her new boyfriend and former San Francisco 49ers tight end.
The singer is seen wearing a maxi safari print dress and a denim jacket, with several Louis Vuitton bags and roller suitcase … and looking far from pleased.
Come to think of it, they both do. Probably just because they got off a flight from Germany and were greeted by celebrity gossip media, but you wonder.
Is there trouble in paradise already?

Simpson, who just turned 30 over this past weekend, has been canoodling with the Yale graduate and former football star for the past couple of months.
The fact that she’s dating a married man (he’s separated from his wife) hasn’t seemed to faze her, as Jessica herself is divorced and they seem happy.
Mostly.
Here’s hoping we see these two out in public more when they’re not doing their best impression of Britney Spears and Jason Trawick. Smile, guys!

Happy Birthday, Jessica Simpson!
Jessica Simpson is 30 today. Happy birthday, baby!
The singer-actress’s career is definitely on a downward trajectory - there was a time when she produced multi-platinum pop albums, now we get The Price of Beauty.
But at the very least, it’s unlikely she’ll get dumped on her birthday two straight years. Unless Eric Johnson takes his cues from Tony Romo. You better not, Eric!
In any case, we salute you, Jessica Simpson. We can’t wait to cover you for another year, provided you find new ways of staying relevant enough. Good luck!!
