Jessica Simpson

Give Jessica Simpson credit.  She's become a mogul.

Sure, her career as a singer, actress and reality star has pretty much come and gone, but her growing stature in the fashion sphere is nothing to sneeze at.

"I never thought I'd be some fashion mogul!" she tells New York Magazine of her increasingly huge fashion line, for which successful is an understatement.

$1 BILLION: That's the projected sales for Jess' line this year. Really.

Simpson's manager says the appeal of her clothing line is as simple as branding the star's image at affordable price points and appealing to all ages:

"A girl could go to the shopping mall with her mom and she'd have a great new outfit and still have some money left for lunch at McDonald's. She can look like Jessica Simpson, smell like Jessica Simpson, and she can afford it."

"I put everything in the line and then it just blows out," Simpson says.

Sometimes, good celebrity fashion statements can happen to bad people. Wait, reverse that. These are some good people with questionable style.

Jessica Simpson's sparkly dress clings in all the wrong places while concealing her best assets, bringing back memories of the chili cook-off days.

Meanwhile, Michelle Trachtenberg's dress adds width to her midsection and the too-tight pencil skirt draws attention to her hips. Kind of rough!

Jessica Simpson loves Twitter. And gushing about her man on Twitter.

The alleged singer praised Eric Johnson's ass-ets in her online prayers Saturday.

"Saying my prayers before bedtime. Thank you Lord for blessing me with a Man that has the perfect Tush," she wrote. "Laying my hands upon it with peace :)"

THE TUSH: Jessica is loving life with that piece.

Jessica began dating the former NFL player in May while he was estranged from his first wife, Keri Johnson; their divorce was finalized months later.

The rest is history. After the holidays, she Tweeted, "Eric is the perfect addition to our family…We are lucky to have 3 new studs: Pete, BX, and EJ!"

Simpson and Johnson became engaged days after her ex-husband Nick Lachey, popped the question to Vanessa Minnillo, his love of five years.

Glad everyone moved on and is happy with their current booty.

Did Jessica Simpson break up Eric Johnson's first marriage before getting engaged to him? No, but why let that get in the way of a good headline.

Right, Star? The fact that Eric was still married, but getting divorced, when he started putting it to Jessica Simpson is old news ... and non-news.

It happens all the time, and E-dawg didn't cheat. Nobody cares. Nobody really cared when Jessica got engaged, either, but that's another story.

Jessica Simpson actually didn't steal anything.

Don't ask us why Jessica continues to dominate tabloids at all, let alone when the "shocking" subject matter is the same old recycled non-stories.

Expect Star to run it back with the other popular angle - that she has been betrayed by Eric - next week, and for no one to care about that either.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are deeply in love. But that doesn't mean there won't be a prenuptial agreement in place when the two tie the knot.

"There will definitely be a prenup" for the pair, a source reveals. "Jessica wants one. She and Eric have talked about it." Still, let's lay off Johnson, okay?

Slamming the tabloid reports that Johnson boned up on snagging rich girls, a source close to the engaged couple says that Eric "is not a gold digger."

Jessica Simpson will guard Eric Johnson's heart. And her own fortune.

It's easy to spin this and say she doesn't trust him, but it's just smart. The star is absurdly rich. We kid about her terrible album sales quite frequently, but Jessica Simpson's fashion and accessories brands grossed $750 million in 2010.

Yes, million.

"[Eric] understands that there needs to be a prenup," the insider explains. "He's supportive of it. He really loves her and wants her to be happy. He's low key."

"He's not into the glitz and materialism of Hollywood at all."

Life & Style is turning back the clock to 2005.

Having built quite a reputation shredding Jessica Simpson and her ex-husband Nick Lachey back then, imagine how pumped this tabloid is to have her engaged again! Imagine what shocking betrayals they can have Eric Johnson commit!

If a star is betrayed, and no one buys the issue, is it even true?

Despite the dramatic headline that makes you think Eric cheated, the meat of the story (very lean meat at that) is that she's just "discovered Eric’s secret past." 

This runs counter to the main headline, but whatever. The details of what he did that's so bad? He studied how to snag a rich woman. He's a freeloader. Snooze.

Also, she's hot if nothing else, and this is one of the worst Jessica Simpson pictures ever. Why not show some cleave? Or a picture with the betrayer himself?

After they tried to make Jessica pregnant last week, this is two straight bombs, L&S. Do us a favor and step it up next week. Third time's the charm, baby.

Jessica Simpson's holiday season is off to a rough start.

At least professionally. Her latest Christmas CD, for which she has done many media appearances, debuted at #123 on the Billboard 200 charts with a modest 10,000 in sales. Pretty bad. It's almost like her singing career ended in like 2002.

Anyway, at least she's still engaged to Eric Johnson!

The future Jessica and Eric Simpson roll to the airport.

“I’m Having a Baby.” - Jessica Simpson to Life & Style

Of course, this is the star (if she's even quoted) talking about future baby plans, rather than a story about Eric Johnson actually getting Jessica Simpson pregnant. If that happened, the headline would read "Jessica Simpson: Pregnant!"

You don't fool us, second-rate supermarket tabloid ...

MORNING SICKNESS: She was actually just sick one morning. Really.

A couple of side notes on top of the blatantly misleading headline:

• That's one of the worst Jessica Simpson pictures ever. The girl is hot, if nothing else. Show it ... or at least use a pic of her with Eric.
• If Jennifer Aniston is really "baring it all," why is there a stock photo, circa 2002, on the cover? Not exactly a compelling teaser.
• We already saw the first Breaking Dawn photo. Come on guys.

Blake Lively and Jessica Simpson both sported a similar style trend recently. Analyze these photos below and tell us who you think wore it best!

As you can see, the Gossip Girl star and the newly-engaged singer gave their long sleeves some serious sex appeal with peekaboo openings.

Usually, they are known for showing skin in other areas, so you can respect leaving something to the imagination. Who looked better? Vote:

Can't people give Jessica Simpson some credit?

From the moment she got engaged to Eric Johnson, rumors began flying that she bought her own ring and is only trying to keep up with Nick Lachey.

Then, peeps assumed she must be knocked up, a story gaining traction today when she appeared on The Early Show and admitted booting earlier.

Jessica Simpson is not with child. Just with the flu.

Talking to CBS' Harry Smith, she admitted throwing up right before the interview: "I've had better mornings, I admit. I won't let you smell my breath."

It turns out it was just the flu, however. A source close to the newly engaged singer says "She's not pregnant." Explains the insider: "She was just sick."

So, there you go. Her breath is awful, but she's very happy and can't stop gushing over the proposal by Eric Johnson, who loves her anyway. The end.
