Jessica Simpson Babies

Jessica Simpson, who confirmed her pregnancy Monday, is happy with her body, according to the new issue of Lucky magazine. That is a very fortunate thing.

"Everybody fluctuates, but I'm open about my weight and confident," the 31-year-old mom-to-be with the cute baby bump says. "I don't cry about it too much."

Expecting her first child with fiance Eric Johnson, she adds: "I like the way I look."

Jessica Simpson's frame has gotten thicker over the years.

According to the str, who has to be fairly well along at this point (we knew Eric got Jessica Simpson pregnant in September), being curvy is good for business.

YA THINK?

"I got so much scrutiny for putting on extra pounds ... but I think that the decision not to make myself anorexic was actually great for branding," she explains.

She's referring to her billion-dollar fashion and beauty empire, of course, adding, "'Cause when you're really, really skinny, not everybody can relate to you."

SO true. Jessica Simpson is nothing if not a role model.

We've known for several weeks that Jessica Simpson is pregnant.

The story broke in late September, and photos taken this past weekend showing her baby bump (and her flipping off the cameras) made it increasingly obvious.

Now, any doubt has been erased, since she confirmed it on Twitter:

"It's true ... I"m going to be a mummy!" Jessica wrote, posting a spoooky picture of herself in a mummy costume (get it?!?!) and holding her already visible baby bump.

Gotta give her credit for the play on words and timeliness.

This will be the first child for Jessica Simpson and fiance Eric Johnson. They got engaged earlier this year but have not set a wedding date that we know of.

Congrats to the parents-to-be, even if that huge tabloid payday never materialized! Guess even the world's hottest mummy couldn't scare up $500 grand ...

Good thing Jessica Simpson's future son or daughter isn't around to see this yet. The alleged singer/actress flipped off photographers at the airport Saturday.

Sporting a loose leopard print dress, the 31-year-old was evidently very far from pleased by the swarm of paparazzi that greeted her as she arrived at LAX.

The irony, of course, is that they're only there because Eric Johnson got Jessica Simpson pregnant and she won't admit it publicly, fueling the speculation ...

The following day, she was in better spirits, walking hand-in-hand out of a Beverly Hills office building, rubbing her growing belly above a loose-fitting top.

Eric, her fiance, was protective as he walked with his arm around Jessica, gently helping her into their car. Their wedding date has not been scheduled.

For over a month, Jess has steadfastly declined to what appears to be a very obvious pregnancy in hopes of earning a big payday in a celebrity magazine.

As far as we're concerned, Eric Johnson made Jessica Simpson pregnant and that's a fact. She has not denied this report, and all signs point to its accuracy.

She hasn't officially confirmed anything, however, and reportedly will not do so until she secures a magazine deal for at least $500,000, Page Six reports.

Somehow not surprising in the least.

With the help of her father/manager/pimp Joe Simpson, Jessica refuses to say she is expecting until she had a deal in place. But will she be able to get one?

This isn't exactly 2003 here. While still a celebrity by any measure, Jess is no longer all the rage these days. Her last movie and album were ... we forget.

Plus, how many gossip mags are going to drop half a mill just to "break" this news ... especially after In Touch already did a month ago? Quite unclear.

The longer she walks around hiding her obvious bump (see Jessica Simpson photos) and saying nothing only diminishes the chances of a big payday too.

You can admit it, Jess. Share the joyous news. Then you can stop walking around in black, baggy clothes looking ridiculous with giant bags in front of you.

NOTE: Jessica Simpson's pregnancy is not actually confirmed by the star herself in this article, but you gotta love OK! trying to piggyback on recent rumors.

In classic celebrity gossip tabloid fashion, all this cover does is recycle other rumors, mixed with some actual news, to convince you something big is afoot.

And it may be. Eric Johnson totally got Jessica Simpson pregnant if you ask us. But there is nothing new or confirmed by the "singer" in this story. Nothing.

Hey, after In Touch scooped the first pregnancy report, OK! had to try something!

Instead, we got to hear all about the recent celebration at the Ivy at the Shore restaurant in Santa Monica, Calif., with her mom, sister Ashlee and friends.

“Jessica is so excited,” says a conveniently anonymous close friend, who confesses that Jessica has been slowly telling all her pals she's been knocked up.

“She joked, ‘Well, now I can eat anything I want and no one will care. It’s just sort of a rule.’ But it was typical Jessica that she was making a joke of it.”

One thing's for sure. At 31, Jessica has learned to take life’s twists and turns in stride ... like getting pregnant by mistake and having to postpone her wedding.

When life hands you lemons, what can you to but make lemonade ... and a $h!t ton of money by holding out for an "exclusive" pregnancy reveal in Us.

Late yesterday, news broke that Eric Johnson got Jessica Simpson pregnant.

Is it true? The singer's camp has been completely silent on the story so far.

After months of speculation, In Touch broke the story that she is pregnant with her fiance Eric Johnson‘s baby. Her rep has not confirmed the report, but the lack of denial - usually lightning fast - is certainly telling.

As is a report that a major announcement may already be planned ...

According to reports, People is coming out with a special pregnancy announcement within the next few weeks. Could Jessica Simpson be their cover girl?

Again, it's unconfirmed as of now. But that's what we're betting on.

If so, the In Touch source who let the cat out of the bag is probably marked for death at People right now. The anonymous insider dished on Tuesday:

“The 31-year-old singer recently attended the 32nd birthday party of her fiancé, Eric Johnson, where she sent back her glass of champagne for a birthday toast."

"As it turns out, the pair has something even better to celebrate."

Aww. Congratulations again ... probably.

Jessica Simpson is pregnant, according to In Touch!

Eric Johnson totes probably knocked her up! Jessica recently attended Eric's 32nd birthday party, where she sent back her glass of champagne for a birthday toast.

Turns out they had something even bigger to celebrate. A source close to the 31-year-old singer and her fiance says they are expecting their first child.

Jess has sorta looked pregnant for a while. Now she actually is!

"She's already having kooky cravings!" a friend shares, especially nacho chips dipped in chocolate, "which satisfy her urge for salty and sweet." Nice.

Despite the fact that there's one more "guest" (and that "Jessica might have to take out her dress a bit"), their plans to marry haven't changed ... although they reportedly put the wedding on hold "indefinitely." Wonder why.

While not everyone would consider the timing ideal, the pair considers the baby to be "the best wedding gift ever." Jess is reportedly due in the spring.

Congrats again if it's true, which seems fairly likely!

UPDATE: Nearly a month later, Jessica has neither confirmed nor denied the story, but is looking increasingly pregnant in various photos taken of her.

The latest rumor is that she's holding out to make the big announcement on a celeb news tabloid cover soon, if the price is right. So ... there's that.

“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.

Sitting in on an OK! Magazine staff meeting would be so awesome.

There's an element to celebrity gossip that is always, well, gossip. You take what you read with a grain of salt. But there's gossip, and there's deliberately and wholly inventing stories, misleading us with vague text and exclamation points.

Either Jessica Simpson's name came up in the lottery this week, or the darts all landed on her, because she is apparently having a baby! Would you believe that the same bombshell was dropped almost verbatim last week, only about Jennifer Aniston?

It's true! Doubly joyful news!

CONFIRMED! REVEALED! What is? That OK! wrote a cover story? Consider it official!

According to this fine publication, as Jessica nears her 30th birthday this week, she has a new man (Eric Johnson) and a new plan - to become a mother!

The first part of that is true, at least. But then there's this line:

"Enjoying an early birthday celebration at the Greenbrier Casino Club gala opening in West Virginia on July 4, Jess caused a stir with her visible bump!"

No word if they mean a visible bump on her head or knee.

Seriously, time to get a little more creative with your made-up nonsense, guys. You're going to be labeled the magazine that cried fake-pregnant wolf.

Tony Romo is has won zero career playoff games, but dude is dating Jessica Simpson, so the Dallas Cowboys QB has scored one major "trophy" at least.

Entertainment Tonight caught up with the NFL star to talk about life with girlfriend Jessica Simpson, from their perfect date night to pregnancy rumors!

As for rumors Jessica might be pregnant, Tony Romo says there's "not that I know of," but "I'm sure you guys'll tell me something new soon enough."

As for the perfect date night with Jessica Simpson?

"Probably get a little bite to eat and probably watch a football game," he said. "That's our perfect evening. It's exciting for both of us because I found someone I get to hang with, and she embraces the game and wants to see our team do well.

"It's great to have someone like that."

Tony spoke to ET at a photo shoot for the sportswear company Starter, and he remarked on having to get into "model mode" to shoot the new ad campaign.

"I don't think I'll ever be a model; I don't have any Zoolander poses," he says. "But we'll definitely get out here and have some fun with the Starter stuff."

"As an athlete you know you want to feel comfortable when you're moving around, and have stuff on you that feels natural, and they do a really good job."

For something that feels anything but natural, here are Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson pictures from a recent date night. Looks like barrels of fun (not):
