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 30-year-old singer/actress/designer greeted Marines during their 2010 deployment! Eight lucky sailors and Marines also auditioned for the chance to duet with Jess at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting in November!
“I’ve been on many USO trips,” Jess said, “and I always enjoy sitting and talking with service members. To be on board Truman has been a blessing.

Jessica Simpson Scouts Singers at Sea

October 05, 2010 - Jessica Simpson visited U.S. servicemen aboard the USS Harry S. Truman last Friday to support the troops – and she was looking for a singing partner!

Simpson auditioned eight Truman Sailors and Marines for a chance to perform a duet with her at New York's Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting in November, according to a report on the Navy's website. 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.

"I've been on many USO trips," she said, according to a United States Navy report, "and I always enjoy sitting and talking with service members.

To be on board Truman has been a blessing. I've met so many amazing people, and everybody has been so welcoming and made me feel like I'm at home. I can't express enough how much I appreciate the sacrifices you make for our country."

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!"

Jessica Simpson: Ritz Carlton Cutie

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."

Jessica Simpson Wears Little Black Dress to Launch New Collection

Jessica Simpson squeezed into a little black dress Wednesday to launch her new Jessica Simpson Collection at Macy's in NYC.

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.”

Jessica Simpson Says No More Barbie Figure

Aug 10th 2010 - Jessica Simpson may soon be eating her words. Though the 30-year-old singer tells Lucky she is finally at "peace" with her fuller figure and curves, the magazine's photos of its September cover girl have apparently been heavily airbrushed to make her appear magically slim again.

"We all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that's not always what's beautiful," the pop star says. "It's about making peace with yourself."

Is it? Then why does the magazine cover and, to a much greater extent, the inside photo spread feature the star looking exactly like the perfect Barbie type? Could it be a case of "Do as I say, not as (Lucky and) I do"?

The Conde Nast magazine didn't respond to a request for comment from PopEater. But its seemingly photoshopped pictures have created a mini-uproar in the blogosphere.

Some Lucky-bashers point to the singer's disproportionate head and body in the shots. Others remind us of pictures snapped only a few weeks ago showing a still-rounder-looking Jessica, who has noticeably gained weight -- and taken heat for it -- in recent months.

"While I appreciate the comments [Jessica Simpson] makes about loving and accepting her body, I would find them more believable if she did not allow the magazine to airbrush her until her body looks nothing like the 'real' Jessica," writes one Lucky reader. "These are the ways we could actually induce change rather than just giving it lip service. The body in these pictures is NOT the body we see in candid shots. I doubt it could hold up the head on top of it in real life. Come on Jessica!! Take a REAL stand!"
The magazine is also accused of being "insulting," "sickening" and deceptive in comments posted on its website.

"Can we get real here?" fumes a reader. "Jessica Simpson has a beautiful body -- but it looks nothing like this!! She is healthy and has curves -- it is nothing to be ashamed of and airbrushed away. I'm disgusted."
The Simpson spread is timed to publicize the new VH1 series she filmed called 'The Price of Beauty,' for which she traveled the world to witness crazy things women do to look pretty.

The blurb with the photos says she has undergone a change in her own style and fine-tuned her ideas about what is beautiful "by coming to terms with some serious body issues over the course of the last year."

"She stopped fighting her hourglass silhouette," writes Lucky.

And the star echoes those sentiments in interviews she's dosince she's returned from shooting, telling Us Weekly that stressing out about weight "is just a woman thing -- unless you're the women we don't like that are supermodels that are just naturally fantastic."

"I'm a curvy girl," Simpson said. "I have to always be conscious of everything I'm putting into my body."

Jessica Simpson Invented Her Personal ‘Therapy’

Nietzsche said, what doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger. Jessica Simpson has decided to follow this idea.

We know that Simpson has recently turned 30 and she is currently dating Eric Johnson, former NFL player. According to her, after some tough patches, in the end she feels on top of the whole world.

Jessica sincerely revealed to PEOPLE this week at a private dinner held in Los Angeles dedicated to the celebration of her appearance on Lucky magazine September cover that she was very happy. Right then she was the most confident of everything she had ever done in her life.

Of course, the star has had a range of ups and downs, however, she has managed to cope with all negative issues that plagued her before. We should say here, that Simpson has also introduced her personal clothing line known as the Jessica Simpson Collection.
The star believed that it was a good idea to sit in front of the best friend and let the friend ask absolutely any questions, including offensive ones. According to her therapy, she was supposed to answer all of them. In other words, she had to tackle all worrying problems inside and out.

Jessica Simpson "Overshares" Smooch with Beau Eric Johnson on Twitter

Singer-actress Jessica Simpson may be happily in love, but some on the Internet are crying "overshare" in the "Public Display of Affection" department.

That's because the 30-year-old "Price of Beauty" star posted an up close and personal photo of her getting smooched by her "Yalie" beau Eric Johnson on her Twitter account Saturday and let us all in on it, even down to the location.

In a tweet posted on her profile, she wrote: "Romance 101..getting kissed by my Yalie," Simpson tweeted. "Me not lookin' so smart...:) but YUM!"

Saturday's overshare wasn't the first of its kind for Simpson and her new man. The couple were spotted intimately lip-locking on a yacht while celebrating Simpson's 30th birthday in Capri.
According to Us Weekly, Johnson, a Yale alumnus and ex-San Francisco 49ers tight end and New Orleans Saints football player, left the two-year business program at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School to be with Simpson in Los Angeles.

Jessica Simpson cautious about her weight

Jessica Simpson has revealed that due to her curvaceous body, she’s always conscious of what she’s putting into her body.
The 30-year-old singer has opened up about her struggle to stay fit."I think a woman always stresses out about their weight. It’s just like a woman thing -- unless you’re the women we don’t like that are the supermodels that are just so naturally fantastic," UsMagazine quoted her as telling on E!''s The Daily 10.
"But for me, I’m a curvy girl so I have to always be conscious of what I’m putting into my body, if I’m going to be working out," she added

Jessica Simpson feeling good about herself

Jessica Simpson is feeling assured and upbeat about entering her thirties.

'Right now in my life, I'm the most confident I've ever been. I can make that statement,' she told People.

The Price Of Beauty star, who recently celebrated her 30th with new beau Eric Johnson during a romantic trip to Italy, shared her thoughts on therapy.
'I really believe that somebody should just sit in front of their best friend and have that friend ask any and every question, offensive or not. And whatever it is, answer it.'

Addressing whether personal criticism affected her, the singer said, 'Of course. I'm a woman. At this point, nothing else can be said about me that could be worse than I have already read.'

Pals worry Jessica’s new man only interested in her wallet

10 Aug, 2010 - While Jessica Simpson appears to be having a great time with new boyfriend Eric Johnson, friends are worried he’s just a freeloader, according to In Touch. And the recently divorced Johnson’s ex-wife, Keri Johnson, isn’t helping matters, telling the magazine, “Eric is plain out of money. He was going to grad school because he didn’t know what else to do, and then he just dropped out.”

Simpson has had a string of failed romances, most famously with her ex-husband Nick Lachey, musician John Mayer and Dallas Cowboys player Tony Romo.
The pop star, whose music career has all but stalled, often comes across as needy and cloying in the media, and controlled by her father, Joe.

Jessica Simpson Talks Jeans, Curves, and Brigitte Bardot

Less than a month ago Jessica Simpson's new denim collection went on sale to a rousing response.

The busy singer turned fashion mogul took a few minutes to chat with StyleList about her denim designs, available at Macy's and on her official website.

StyleList: Who is your personal style icon?
Jessica Simpson: Brigitte Bardot is my favorite beauty in the world. Her beauty and style are so iconic, and naturally sexy.

SL: What brand was the very first pair of jeans you owned?
JS: Being from Texas, I think it had to be a pair of classic Levi's.

SL: Do you actually wear the jeans from your collection? What has been the response from your friends and family?
JS: Of course, I wear the jeans -- I love them! My favorite styles are the Malibu skinny and the Sunset bootleg [Simpson is wearing the latter in photo] – they make your legs look so long. What is great about these jeans is that there are no age boundaries... even my mom and her friends wear them!
SL: The silhouettes are kind of skinny -- what are girls with curves to do?
JS: Our four core fits are skinny, jegging, bootleg, and flare, so there's a fit for every body. All of the denim fabric has stretch, so they are super comfortable too.

SL: What's the next category you want to expand into, and what's next personally?
JS: We are busy this fall launching jeans wear, plus, my latest fragrance, Fancy Nights, hits stores this month. I have some exciting projects in the works, personally. I love each facet of my career and every area brings me something new to discover.

Jessica Simpson Challenges Jewel to a Jewel-Duel

OK, we know this clip is old, 6 years old to be exact, from back in 2004. Simpler times, when whales were exploding in Taiwan and Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson were married. Still, we hadn’t seen it until friend Laura Dawn posted it to her Facebook wall…

It’s a clip from the Obie Award winning Nick and Jessica’s Variety Hour, featuring the charming Jessica Simpson welcoming one of her favorite singers in the world, Jewel to the stage for what we can only describe as a Sing-Off.
It’s a Jewel Duel, an attempt to see who can sing and look more like Jewel in the time allotted. By the end of this thing, we seriously did not know which one was Jewel…

Jessica Simpson Could Become an ‘Idol’ Judge

When you think of Jessica Simpson, you may think of many things. Singer, reality TV star, blonde, beautiful; but now it’s rumored that she might add American Idol judge to her list of accomplishments.

A source close to the show tells EW that Jessica Simpson has met with American Idol producers about joining the show’s judging panel. “I’m not sure whether her people approached Idol, or if it was the other way around,” said the source. It is also reported that Simpson is one of many candidates who’ve been considered as an Idol judge when the show returns in January 2011.

Former Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is set to return to Idol for its tenth season and went on record last spring saying he was in favor for an entire new panel of judges for better ratings for Fox. The network could be looking for more than a Simon Cowell replacement, who left Idol at the end of the ninth season in order to launch a U.S.-based version of his popular British series, The X Factor.
The entire new panel idea could have complications due to the fact that current judge Randy Jackson is signed through next year. “The network’s dream scenario would be to make a splashy announcement at TCA on Monday morning,” said a source referring to Fox’s presentation at the 2010 TCA Press Tour scheduled for August 2.

Jessica Simpson’s Paying for Love

Jessica Simpson has been “dating” a still technically married man. She and former NFL player, Eric Johnson, have been vacationing and making every moment in public filled with kissing and straddling each other. Star is running with a story that might have truth in it.

A few insider-types squealed to the mag that she has been paying for EVERYTHING and is even housing him in her Hills mansion. The article paints Johnson as a Kevin Federline Junior and it’s conceptually believable being that Jess admitted she doesn’t brush her teeth and is a fan of Dutch Ovens.

essica Simpson Does Fall '10 Right'

Jessica Simpson, singer turned savvy business guru, has proved her worth in the retail world with a successful clothing, footwear, swimwear, lingerie, accessories, and, most recently, a denim line, which she promises will deliver great butts to many women. For Fall '10, look forward to dark rinse denim skinnies paired with slick wool coats, cargo pants contrasted with faux fur vests, and dressy jumpsuits. Furthermore, suede wraparound sandals and tough lace-up booties instantly add a modern, tough touch.

Jessica Simpson Found Her First Wrinkle

Jessica Simpson has only been in her 30s for about a week, but she's already feeling the woes of aging. Wrinkles are creeping in, and by the end of the week she'll probably have like 94 gray hairs, at this rate.

"It is official -- I'm 30 and found a wrinkle," the singer Tweeted today (via Us magazine). "Damnit!"

Even though she's pretty much an old lady at this point, her new BF Eric Johnson seems to be smitten. They spent her 30th birthday in Capri earlier this month, and they've been inseparable ever since, we hear.
"Eric clearly makes her laugh and he seems amused in her company as well," a source said. " I know she is really happy."

Summer Shoe Must-Have: Jessica Simpson's Studded Sandal

I really have to tip my chapeau to Jessica Simpson. I am doing that because this girl produces a line of ultra cool footwear that gets better season after season. Today, I walked into my office wearing a summer sandal called "Katee" and besides my ultra stylish peeps here at Us, my Starbucks barista and a few assorted women on the streets of Manhattan, I have been getting nonstop compliments on this towering inferno.
t's simple. These heels look amazeballs because they're a high heel version of a flat summer gladiator sandal. The natural grain of the wood wedge is stunning, and plays so well against the supple leather upper. (The heel makes me insane -- Jess is shorter than you'd expect and always wears a higher heel -- she's my kind of gal). The combination of both circular and faceted square metal studs make it very exotic. The Katee heel has a 4.6 inch wedge with a 1.2 inch platform.

Available in desert sand or waxy black and sized 5-11, grab whichever is still available -- these heels are flying off store shelves now.

Jessica Simpson Gains Weight And A Different Reality Show

8 July, 2010 - Hoping that they pick up a few more viewers, the next season on Jessica Simpson's VH1 reality show, The Price of Beauty, will get a new face lift. Us Weekly reports, to make the show...more interesting...it will focus on Simpson giving people makeovers, like she did on the season finale episode.
Jessica showed us some of her "price of beauty" at the grand opening of the Casino Club at The Greenbrier in West Sulfur Springs, West Virginia on Friday, June 2nd. You can tell Jessica has gained a bit of weight and makeup since the filming of her show. Seriously, what an unflattering dress. Maybe you shouldn't be giving the make-overs next season, Jess.
VH1 says the new show will air in 2011. Simpson claimed she found her life's calling during taping of The Price of Beauty, "I'm not saying I'm changing the world...But...to be able to sit with my dad and [create] Price of Beauty... It's similar to missionary work. It was what I was called to do and called to be."
Hold up, she thinks her reality show can be compared to missionary work? Missionary work involves some heavier stuff than working on how you can feel beautiful. Jessica, try building a house for a family in New Orleans or spend some time with Haitian children then think about the comment you made.
