Simpson Watch

Last Thursday, Jessica Simpson was a guest on The View. Below are some clips from that show, featuring Jessica discussing airport security:

Jessica Simpson is going to have a chance to show off her more serious side when she co-hosts The View - and for those of us who know her only for her Chicken of the Sea quandry, this is exciting news! (And somewhat scary, because: DON’T MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF, JESSICA!) (more…)

Now that Jessica has finished filming “Major Movie Star”, she’s got more time for the important things in life. Well, important to her, anyway.

She’s been seen lunching with her sister, showing off her Valentino bag and (lest your forget her origins) singing! I can’t confirm the rumor, but I hear that she’s working on a country album. With Willie Nelson. In Nashville. (more…)

The way Jessica Simpson has been on the cover of magazine after magazine after magazine (wait, there’s more), it’s almost like she’s promoting herself or something. Like she has a movie coming out sometime soon. Like…oh, wait. She does. And here she is on the cover of yet another mag. It’s a publication I’ve never heard of, but whatever. I’m sure someone, somewhere, does read it. (more…)

Jessica Simpson’s dad Joe talks about the many “interesting” roles Jessica has been offered over the years:

She’s always been herself on camera, but Jessica Simpson isn’t ready to show all of herself on camera.

“The last script that came to us was for Jessica to be a porn star,” Jessica’s father and manager, Joe Simpson, told PEOPLE at Thursday’s ABC Television Critics Association party in Beverly Hills.

“We were promised we would win an Oscar with that,” says Simpson, 49. “I was like, ‘Eh, we’ll just buy a [statue of a] little man and keep our clothes on.’ ”

Since she shot to fame in 2003 with ex-husband Nick Lachey on MTV’s Newlyweds Jessica Simpson, 27, has been receiving quirky TV-show proposals “every day,” according to her father.

“We’re pitched those a lot,” he says. “There are a lot of cool ones, and a lot of really strange ones.”

Currently, Papa Simpson is promoting ABC’s fall series The Women’s Murder Club, which he is producing with Rush Hour director Brett Ratner. No plans are underway for Jessica or her younger sister Ashlee Simpson, 22, to appear on the show.

“They’re very busy, and they’re happy,” Joe Simpson says of his daughters. “Jessica has three more movies to shoot; she has a new record coming in September. If the right role came up, of course, we’d never turn that down.”

Ok, poor Ashlee Simpson has rumors flying everywhere at the moment about her. Here’s another one. She might be engaged to Pete Wentz!

Nothing’s been confirmed, so hold off on having your head explode for now, but sources tell Pop Crunch that Wentz proposed to Simpson backstage at Live Earth before he performed with his Fall Out Boy bandmates. “Ashlee wasn’t expecting it at all; it was a total surprise,” says the source. “Pete whipped out a big engagement ring, dropped down on one knee and asked Ashlee to be his bride. Ashlee says it was romantic, sexy - and that she said ‘yes’ right away.”

“Ashlee and Pete are desperate to keep the engagement quiet for as long as they can so they can make wedding plans in peace,” says a pal of Ashlee’s. “All she wants is a simple ceremony with her family, his family and a handful of people.”

Jessica Simpson just released her new swimwear line, which she helped design. At her fashion show, models paraded the catwalk wearing Jessica’s designs, while Jessica watched them closely. She seemed absolutely delighted - and she should. Some of these swimsuits are actually cute - I wasn’t sure what to expect!

Tons of pics after the jump.

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?
