Simpson Watch

Jessica Simpson’s shoe line must be popular overseas: This billboard was recently photographed in Japan. I’ve never even seen her ads in the U.S. - billboard or magazine alike, and when I saw this photo all I could think was: HER HAIR LOOKS UNCHARACTERISTICALLY BIG.

I mean, just how much hairspray do you think they used?

Jessica Simpson is adding another occupation to her resume. She’s already a singer/actress/shoe and handbag designer/hair extension and skincare spokesmodel. And now you can add bikini designer to the list. Jessica’s new swimsuit line will debut next month during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Miami. She’ll have everything from skimpy bikinis to modest one-piece suits. Jessica helped design the swimsuits and she’s hand-picking the models to wear them.

Ashlee’s got a new tattoo, and though we don’t know the catalyst for the ink, we at least know a tiny bit about it. Rumor is that the “3″ inked below the word “Love” represents the number of times Ashlee’s friend/personal assistant kisses her before a show.

Jessica has been working overtime to get in tip-top shape for her latest film, Major Movie Star.

It doesn’t begin shooting until July 16th, but Shreveport, LA is already preparing for Jessica’s arrival. In fact, if you want to try to be a big movie star yourself, you can attend an open casting call for extras on June 30th. They are especially looking for a few great men and women with a military appearance between the ages of 18-50. Click here to learn more.

Are Jessica Simpson and Lane Garrison more than just friends? Just Jared would have you think so, but don’t be too quick to believe ALL the celebrity gossip you read.

Truth is, Jess and Lane grew up together. At age seventeen, Lane left his parent’s rule and moved in with the Simpson clan - Joe and Tina took him in. From that perspective, Jess and Lane are practically siblings. (Of course, the same thing happened with Ryan Cabrera, and that didn’t stop Ashlee from sinking her teeth into him.)

Last I heard, Ashlee was promoting those sassy little shoes made by Sketchers. But Ashlee is the celebrity face behind another brand, too: Stride Gum^®. Stride Gum’s slogan is “The Ridiculously Long Lasting Gum,” and with that tagline in mind, it paid Ashlee to promote the brand on the longest day of the year (the summer solstice).

Is it just me, or are times reealllyyyyyy hard in LA right now? Seems like a lot of music and film artists are using their talent less and acting as a spokesman more. (I do like her dress, though.)

Jessica Simpson was photographed last Friday night while leaving Angolo DiVino, an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. But that’s not the important part.

What’s important is how THIN Jess is looking - in recent photographs she’s been a tiny bit heavier. Well, heavier for her, I mean. Even at her heaviest she’s still much smaller than the rest of the U.S. population.

Despite conflicting reports about the break-up of Jessica Simpson and John Mayer, paparazzi captured Jessica Simpson in Hollywood early Sunday morning, where she visited Sunset Marquis Hotel from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. It just so happens that ex-boyfriend John Mayer is currently staying at that hotel…

A guest at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood tells Celebrity Babylon that singer John Mayer, 29, was yelling into his phone with his head down outside by the pool on Monday morning, June 11. Says the hotel guest, “He said ‘Jess’ a bunch of times, so I would think he was talking to Jessica Simpson. He looked wiped out, circles under his eyes, and some pal was grabbing him coffee while he was having this fight over the phone. There was a lot I couldn’t hear, but at the end before he hung up, he told her to stop calling, stop texting, stop all of it — leave me alone! He was shaking his head back and forth like, ‘God, make her stop,’ and his friend was sort of chuckling at him.” Jessica Simpson,26, is shamelessly chasing her on-again off-again boyfriend John Mayer, and it looks like he’s finally telling her “enough!”

According to a recent Life Style Extra article, Jessica Simpson has been reportedly telling all her friends that she is “totally done” with John Mayer and that the relationship was unhealthy.

“She was telling friends, ‘We were so different, we were fighting so much. I’m really happy to be out of that relationship. This time, it’s totally done.’”

Who do you think Jess will date next?

Jess and Ashlee have been flying under the radar a lot lately, which makes reporting on their whereabouts a little difficult. To that, I say: Good for them. It’s healthy to have a bit of privacy. It’s respectable, actually. In my opinion, at least.

A couple nights ago, Ashlee was working on her album at Record Planet, where she was photographed leaving the recording studio with Jess. Jessica Simpson confirmed to the press that Ashlee is, in deed, working on her new album. No word yet on its style or what types of tracks are recorded, who Ashlee is collaborating with, etc.

Ashlee was recently photographed leaving the recording studio, where she was working on her upcoming album. Her sister, Jessica Simpson, was at the record plant with Ashlee (I suppose for moral support).

What I don’t get: how do the paparazzi know they’re there? Did they follow them in and then hunker down for the evening until the pair came out? Did they just happen by the studio and wait to see if any celebs came out? What is the deal with paparazzi being EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME?

A ton of pics after the jump.

Rumor has it that Jessica Simpson is in talks to be the new Bond girl. She’ll play opposite hottie Daniel Craig. Some have said that playing this role is career suicide, but I think Jess would make a great Bond girl! She’s got all the curves for the role - that’s for sure!

This past Friday night (June 8th), Jessica Simpson headed out late at night (3am) with friend and hair stylist Ken Paves. She was seen leaving Sunset Marquis Hotel - a place where John Mayer used to stay.

Is it just me, or does Jessica Simpson look a bit like Britney Spears in the photo below?

Ashlee Simpson romped with boyfriend Pete Wentz in the bathroom of his new bar, it has been claimed.

Javno Lifestyle reported:

Ashlee Simpson romped with boyfriend Pete Wentz in the bathroom of his new bar, it has been claimed.

The ‘Fall Out Boy’ frontman, who celebrated his 28th birthday party at his newly opened New York hangout Angels and Kings on Tuesday night (05.06.07), reportedly entered a bathroom cubicle with Ashlee for a steamy session.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Ashlee and Pete got a VIP escort to the bathroom and jumped the queue.

“Pete joked, ‘We’re going to puke. Seriously, we’re both going to be really sick’ as they pushed to the front of the queue.

“They went in together and everyone waited patiently. They were in there for a good 10 minutes.”
Ashlee bought her man a very special gift to mark the occasion.

Pete said: “Ashlee got me a Revenge of the Jedi poster. I’m kinky and it’s like, in Star Wars originally ‘Return of the Jedi’ was called Revenge of the Jedi, and then George Lucas decided that revenge was not a Jedi-like trait.

“So she bought it for me. I think it’s sweet. It’s awesome.”

The rocker and friends Gym Class Heroes lead singer Travis McCoy and Yellow Fever clothing designer Jamison Ernest opened the bar in April.

Pete said at the launch party: “It will be a bit of a dive, which we need. We finally have a place where all our loser friends can hang out!

Ernest added: “This will be a place that anyone can go and have sex in the bathroom and not get in trouble.”
