Jessica Simpson believes she deserves a good relationship

HollywoodNews.com: Jessica Simpson can’t stop talking about how wonderful her current relationship with Eric Johnson is and she strongly believes that she deserves something this good right now.

The singer feels that she has never been in such a good relationship, so she sometimes finds herself waiting for something bad to happen, states People. “I have realized that I actually do deserve an understanding relationship,” Simpson admits about realizing she has been through a lot so good things should happen to her.
And not only is he apparently a good guy to her, but she also calls him an “inspiration” because “[h]e really knows himself.”

Do you think this is a good relationship for Jessica Simpson?

Jessica Simpson Camp Accused of Snubbing US Troops

A group of singing soldiers say they were disappointed to learn that Joe Simpson and his team of producers had cut them from a planned performance on Jessica Simpson’s PBS holiday special.

4Troops, a musical quartet made up of four former army soldiers, told “Fox and Friends” that they were set to perform “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” with Simpson on an October 14 taping before they were told that their song performance had been cut.
“We had planned to do our song ‘I’ll Be Home for Christmas’ with her on stage, we flew our families in for the event and were very excited, [we were] fans of Jessica’s,” singer Meredith Melcher said. “And then, closer to midnight, after a couple hours of waiting, we found out that our initial song had been cut.”

Producers then asked the group if they wanted to sing a new song they had never rehearsed, to which the group declined because they had no chance to prepare.

“They suggested we do a new song, but that was one we had never rehearsed before and in the army we sorta have a thing where you train as you fight and we didn’t really feel prepared to do that so we opted out of that,” Melcher added.

Jessica Simpson: "Many Times I Wanted to Surrender and Give Up"

Can you blame Jessica Simpson for wanting to pack it in now and then?

"Many times I wanted to surrender and give up," said the star in an interview with USA Today that touched on subjects such as love, self-esteem and the endless scrutiny surrounding her weight.

"But I have a calling in my life," she said. "And if I have to go through that scrutiny, I will."

Acceptance is good, because the spotlight isn't going anywhere.
"I went through a really hard time a couple years back with people just harping on the pressure of how to look perfect, obviously using me and my weight. It was a tabloid frenzy," Simpson recalled, most likely referring to the infamous mom-jeans photo and the grief she took for it.

"I feel like people are constantly curious as to how much I weigh or what I look like or what I wear...There's no way you're not going to be affected by the ugly things people say about you. It's very hurtful. It definitely brings up a lot of your own insecurities. It takes a great family and wonderful friends—and love definitely helps, too—to get through it."

Speaking of love, since divorcing Nick Lachey in 2006, Simpson has had quite the weird run, from her "sexual napalm"-producing liaison with John Mayer to her ill-fated relationship with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, which culminated in a breakup right before her 29th birthday.

But now the 30-year-old is getting along just fine with retired NFL player Eric Johnson (and the Cowboys are 1-5).

The winner will also sing with Simpson on her upcoming Christmas album. The famous blonde spent her time aboard the ship signing autographs and enjoying meals with the crew.

Jessica Simpson's LAX Landing

Finished up with a promotional stop in her home state, Jessica Simpson was spotted arriving at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Saturday (September 25).

Fresh off of a short flight from Houston, Texas, the "Dukes of Hazzard" hottie trekked through the terminal with security by her side as she hopped into an awaiting car en route to her west coast abode.
Prior to flying back to Cali, Miss Simpson tweeted throughout her Houston visit, writing, "Love being in my home state! Come meet me from 1-4 at Dillard's in Friendswood, TX and see all the new cute @JSCollection fashion for fall!"

Just prior to heading to the airport, Jess added, "My BFF and I in Houston after an amazing in store! She rocked my hair out! Feelin' sexy! Love u ladybug!"

Making her rounds in New York City, Jessica Simpson was spotted leaving the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Wednesday (September 29).

The “Price of Beauty” babe looked gorgeous in jeans paired with a short blue blazer and shades as she made her way out of the swanky hotel.
Rumors have been swirling around Jess and her BFF/hairstylist Ken Paves after a source told E! News the two had a major falling out.


Earlier this week, Ms Simpson did not help her case - she posted a picture of herself and a girlfriend followed by a message reading, “My BFF and I in Houston after an amazing in store! She rocked my hair out! Feelin' sexy! Love u ladybug!”

On the contrary, on Monday of this week, Jess wrote a message to Mr Paves, saying, “Holy Dexter!!!!!@kenpaves our show is back on in full force.”

Nick Lachey Gives Reality TV Another Go!

Sometimes, we flick through the mutiple VH1 endorsed channels, hoping for a glimpse of the show Newlyweds. You remember - Jessica Simpson would be saying something endearingly stoopid, while Nick Lachey would lounge about the house, constipated with jealousy and envy over his wife's success.

It really was a great show. Now, these two fragmented 90s performers are just trying desperately to get back to what they once were. Jessica has done decently for herself, but Nick hasn't done much since he released an album dedicated to hating on his ex-wife, which is the only reason anyone bought it in the first place.
But fear not, because Nick is looking to get back into the reality game. A source close to Nick reveals that VH1 is welcoming him back into the fold with open arms, developing a show based on Nick trying to revive his music carer. The source explains:

”The show will show him getting back into the music industry and feature his former 98 Degrees band mates.”

Sure, why not! The rode his coattails all through the 90s. Why should anything change?!

J'adore Dior

Simpson stepped out in a $2,200 Dior number at a beauty luncheon benefiting Operation Smile in West Hollywood. "We all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that's not always what's beautiful," she recently told Lucky. "It's about making peace with yourself."

During the two-hour store appearance, she signed autographs and greeted fans, whom she had earlier invited (via Twitter) to wear articles from her denim, shoes or accessories line. (She later posted shots of them on Twitter, writing: "Everyone looks amazing in their denim! I'm so proud.")
Simpson, 30, was pleased with the turn-out. "What a great night!!!" she gushed on Twitter. "Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting the line

Jessica Simpson parts ways with hairstylist Ken Paves

Thank goodness summer is over and celebs can get back to work ... by which I mean providing us with shocking tales of their bad behavior. Ashton is cheating, and now Beckham is, too. Kate Gosselin is trying to steal a married man. Angelina is "manipulating" Shiloh. But there's one piece of gossip that's just too horrible to believe. Did Jessica Simpson really have a falling-out with hairdresser Ken Paves? Find out in the 'zines!
Turns out the married man who Kate Gosselin is trying to steal is the same one she's always after: her bodyguard, Steve Neild. The week before last, at a photo shoot in Mexico, she paraded in front of him wearing "a series of barely there bikinis," says Life & Style. Maybe her plan is working because Neild's neighbor tells the mag that Neild and wife Gina "used to be very affectionate," but now they don't even "peck on the cheek." So not only does Neild have a crazy boss, he has a peeping Tom for a neighbor.

Jessica Simpson Dropping Her Friends For Her New Man

Jessica Simpson may have found love with her boyfriend Eric Johnson, but apparently it means that some of her friends are falling to the wayside. Longtime friend Ken Paves is reportedly tired of the fact that every time Jessica gets a man she drops her friends.

"Ken is sick of her cycle of dumping friends when she's with a guy," says a source. "She doesn't care about the world, only herself, All she talks about is men, love and sex."

Jessica Simpson Shows Up to Judge Project Runway Finale

Uh-oh, we could be waiting awhile before we have a verdict on the winner of this season's Project Runway.

Jessica Simpson was in the house today to serve as the guest judge on the finale of the reality show as it showcased its top designers during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. She was psyched for what she called the "big bang," wowing the crowd in a dazzling charcoal Michael Kors mini-dress.
Just don't ask which of the contestants was her favorite...

No Bocelli duet for Simpson

Jessica Simpson's dream of duetting with Andrea Bocelli for her upcoming Christmas album has been dashed - the opera singer will not be part of the compilation due to his busy schedule.

The pop star and actress was said to have recruited the classical musician, as well as pal Willie Nelson, for her festive release.

But Bocelli's representative has moved swiftly to deny the report, revealing the star was never slated to record with Simpson.

The rep tells E! Online, "We were indeed approached by her management a while ago, but Mr Bocelli's current recording and performing schedule does not allow him to add on new engagements.
"We told Jessica's management yesterday that the duet cannot happen. But we all wish her great success with the Christmas album."

Jessica Simpson working on new Christmas album

As Jessica Simpson works on her love life with her new beau, she is also working on her music career and preparing a new Christmas album.

Helping Simpson with the album will be producers The Dream and Tricky Stewart, who have worked with Katy Perry, Beyonce and Rihanna, reports Just Jared. She will also be working with her friend Cacee Cobb who has also helped with Simpson’s two previous records.
And don’t expect all of the songs to be remakes of famous Christmas songs: “I’ve already had a Christmas record so I’m gonna write some new material.”
