Simpson Watch

In Style’s July issue (on sale Friday, June 22) features a music portfolio with seven of the hottest stars in the music industry, including Ashlee Simpson, talking about what inspires their music.

Actress turned chart-topping singer Ashlee Simpson, who is recording her third album due out this fall, tells In Style that she is inspired by the beach. Simpson says, “Being by the water makes me feel so peaceful. Before I head into the studio, that’s where I go to clear my head and write. I wear flip-flops and no makeup. I just take my journal and chill.” Simpson’s favorite songs include music by The Beatles, Steel Pulse, Patty Griffin, Bob Marley & the Wailers, and The Cure.

Watch her on camera interview and shoot now.

Now that Jess is single again, has she found her way back into the arms of her former co-star Dane Cook? The pair were together a week and a half ago at Teddy’s for Prince’s concert, and reports say the two were spotted “dancing and touching each other” all night long!

TMZ reported:

Ever wonder what’s going on in John Mayer’s big ol’ head? As a part of the Live Earth “concert series for a climate in crisis,” Mayer’s been blogging his thoughts on climate change.

Here’s what Mayer wrote about the event a couple of days ago:

“I hope that for all the cynicism that’s existed around this subject, we can all uncross our arms long enough to give this event a chance to impact the world in the way that I’m beginning to feel that it could. Now isn’t the time to dissect the rights and wrongs. (If you’re hoping Live Earth doesn’t work, you have a lot of soul-searching to do.)

With this kind of lineup, there’s no cause or crisis that wouldn’t be positively affected by an event of this scope. Live Earth isn’t a show - it’s a showing, a presentation of an idea. Artists like us don’t just get together to each play 20 minute sets every weekend, you know. We’re also usually pretty sensitive about the order in which we take the stage, and I’ve got no problems with my 5:12 PM set time. The Police, Bon Jovi, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, and yes, myself and my dumb face are all openers for the true headliner - the power to literally change the world’s mind.”

So inspirational! Wonder what John’s ex, Jessica Simpson, thinks about Mayer’s do-good-ing green scene?

Jessica Simpson has been working hard with her trainer - and it looks like her workouts are paying off! Check out her muscular legs in these pics:

This past Saturday night, Jessica dined at Angelini Osteria, an upscale Italian restaurant in Los Angeles, California. She was photographed leaving, and looked as though she was absolutely glowing.

More pics after the jump.

More and more celebrities are confused by their wardrobe (and are desperately in need of a stylist), as Ashlee proves to us this weekend. A wool cap and knee socks? In the hot summer weather?

Maybe there is more in that brown paper bag than just flavored water…
