Jessica Simpson appeared Monday as the first guest of Katie Couric on her new ABC talk show ‘Katie’ and revealed to her host that she was so nervous she almost “peed her pants.”
The new mother, wearing a black figure friendly Roland Mouret creation, arrived with a specific agenda during the premiere.
She debuted her post-baby figure and showed a preview clip from a new Weight Watchers campaign that will begin airing tonight. The first ad features Simpson’s face and not her body as she talks about setting weight loss goals and losing weight each week.
In her first interview since giving birth to baby Maxwell in May, the ‘Fashion Star’ talked about feeling a great deal of pressure to shed the baby weight. Though she wouldn’t give a specific weight loss total, she acknowledges that she has shed more than 40 lbs. so far.
Simpson tracks her food consumption and walks 14,000 steps each day, equivalent to seven miles.
Katie wanted to know if Jessica and her fiance Eric Johnson would be getting married in the near future. The fashionista, who oversees a billion dollar business, reports their big day won’t be in 2012 because things are too hectic right now to plan a “big fun wedding.”
