Jessica Simpson has ostensibly and not so subtly 'announced' her pregnancy with fiance Eric Johnson simply by showing off an ever-growing bump. And really, its hard to ignore the prominent baby bump she's been sporting, with or without a confirmation of the happy news. Rumor has it that papa Joe Simpson has been shopping around asking for $500K for the exclusive on Jessica's baby announcement and the first shots of her child to various celebrity weeklies. And way back when, as little sis Ashlee Simpson was pregnant with then-fiance (now ex-husband) musician Pete Wentz's child, Joe was said to be working a $1million deal for Ashlee's pregnancy reveal and pics. But back to today's baby bumps: recently, Beyonce and husband, Jay-Z, announced Beyonce's own pregnancy simply by showing the world an early baby bump on the VMA red carpet and center stage during a tell-all performance. And Jessica Simpson, as of late, is doing nothing to hide her own bump (a...

Jessica Simpson ignited more pregnancy rumors on Friday when she stepped out of a photo shoot wearing a sequined gold mini-dress -- and a baby bump? It certainly looks like the singer and actress has a bun in the oven. The rumors started a few weeks ago when Simpson sported a tight beige dress that showed off her ample mid-section. "She certainly does look like she's about 25 weeks along," Boston OB-GYN Dr. Dave David told OK! Magazine after looking those photos. However, Simpson's rep said there's no truth to the rumors. "This photo agency is full of malarkey," Simpson's publicist clarified. "She is not pregnant." We have to admit, it does look like Simpson is sporting more than a food baby in her stomach. It's definitely not a bad thing if she is pregnant -- after all, she is engaged to be married to former NFL player Eric Johnson. The "are they, or aren't they" dance is quite common in Hollywood. Many celebrities r...

Jessica Simpson looks undeniably pregnant and experts say she appears to be about six months along. "She looks to be 26 weeks, which is around six months," OB-GYN Dr. Dave David told Radar . "It is definitely a pregnancy and not weight gain. You can by the shape of her abdomen. Her belly wouldn't be that rounded if it was just fat." While Simpson covered her belly with a red coat last night while heading to dinner with friends in New York, it was too late -- her photo was snapped in a tight-fitting shirt earlier in the day, revealing a very rounded stomach and protruding belly button. But she is still not addressing the issue with the press because, as Page Six reported , she was holding out for a magazine deal of $500,000. Christopher Peterson/BuzzFoto.co Jessica Simpson is pregnant, experts said. Instead, Simpson tweeted on Monday "Short girl problems," along with a strange image showing a woman -- presumably her -- sitting on a commode with her feet...

The singer and designer Jessica Simpson sported an obvious baby bump, when she left her New York city hotel and headed to Broadway on Oct. 25 morning. When Simpson was caught on camera, she was wearing loose-fitting jacket and a tight top, showing off a pronounced bump that couldn't be hidden anymore. According to the looks of her popping belly, Radaronline.com estimated that the singer might be pregnant for more than three months already. Likewise, OK! magazine also agreed that Simpson's pregnancy isn't just a rumor and the magazine claimed that the star talked about her pregnancy and eating whatever she wants. Well, now I can eat anything I want and no one will care. Its just sort of a rule with pregnant women, Jessica reportedly told the tabloid. However, Simpson has not confirmed her apparent pregnancy - her first child with fianc Eric Johnson - publicly, unless she is paid $500,000 for the confirmation, according to Page Six.

Deborah Kim Is Jessica Simpson trying to distract people from those is-she-isn't-she pregnant rumors? Or maybe she's trying to attract more attention? Either way, tweeting a photo of a bathroom floor is a bit odd. Contact Music reported the billion dollar business owner tweeted a photo Tuesday of bare feet dangling off a toilet, not able to touch the floor with a caption that read, "Short girl problems. " According to E! Online , the photo was taken in a women's bathroom of a Bergdorf Goodman store in Manhattan. While some speculate Simpson was having a Britney Spears moment with her naked feet, E! reported she most likely just took her shoes off to better illustrate a point. Simpsons reps have yet to respond to the weird tweet and no one has completely confirmed that the feet even belong to the 31-year-old. She is currently in New York with younger sister Ashlee and mom Tina to work on her Jessica Simpson Collection denim line.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson (Pacific Coast News) Jessica Simpson : Cancer, born July 10, 1980 Eric Johnson : Virgo, born September 15, 1979 When Jessica Simpson first hooked up with Eric Johnson it felt like a rebound.

(Bauer Griffin) more pics Jessica Simpson (via Twitter) Jessica Simpson refuses to confirm she's pregnant (or deny it, for that matter), but she has been sporting what looks an awful lot like a baby bump as of late. And, yesterday she added fuel to the pregnancy rumors by shopping in a tight top at Bergdorf's in NYC. The starlet was seen leaving the store with a big bag -- perhaps filled with maternity clothes? Baby clothes? A pair of shoes? Who knows. But what we do know is the blonde was too short for the bathrooms at the ritzy department store. She tweeted a TMI pic of her feet dangling off the ground while using the bathroom, with "short girl problems" as the caption. And, she's barefoot in the picture! We're not exactly sure why she ended up without her shoes in the loo... See more Jessica Simpson pics here:

Jessica Simpson didnt actually say, Yes, Im having a baby! (Ok! Magazine) Theres an increasing amount of evidence that Jessica Simpson is expecting her first child with fiance Eric Johnson. Yet despite the gossip worlds feverish speculation, there has been no official confirmation. Simpson was photographed over the weekend at Los Angeles International Airport and in New York City with a heavily rounded midsection that does not appear to be the result of non-baby-related weight gain. In one photo, Simpson is sporting a lycra top that hugs her body. In the other, shes wearing a cape while touching the protruding part of her stomach. This has led many outlets to speculate, once again, that shes pregnant (and a few others to make terrible bump-y, airplane-related puns.) Then theres the OK! Magazine cover that openly declares Simpson is having a baby, despite not having any confirmation from Simpson herself. Her rep has not issued a statement denying the story. In fact, the last time w...

Jessica Simpson has been doing well to hide her pregnancy (well, sort of) until now that is, as she was pictured at LAX airport showing off her bump even though she had tried her best to hide it.

Simpson has not made an official statement about the rumours and reports but, this will be fairly hard to deny as she wasn't able to hold her bag in front of her tummy as she has been doing.

Jessica Simpson Lose Weight 2011 Jessica Simpson Diet Programs - Isn't amazing how all of the celebrities you see have a celebrity diet plan for weight loss to maintain their weight. Some of them are shapely and healthy looking, and look good on camera. Others look like they haven't eaten in weeks, like they just got back from the famine in Ethiopia for a few weeks. Like they had been starving themselves to lose weight, and that is probably what they have been doing. You see it in all the tabloids, this person lost 100 pounds again, this one gained 100 pounds, and then lost 150 pounds. Some are not as dramatic; this one lost 40 pounds and is a television spokesperson, because the previous celebrity diet spokesperson gained the weight back.

Celebrity clothing brands have become a ubiquitous force in fashion, but this wasn't always the case. A decade ago, attaching a famous name to a mass-market brand was still fairly rare and was seen by some as a last alternative when movie scripts and TV offers slowed down. But now it's not only acceptable, it's almost expected. Some celebrities are serious about fashion, such as designer-actresses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen , whose multiple lines include the Row and Elizabeth and James, and singer-actor Justin Timberlake , who has William Rast . Other stars inject their personal pop aesthetics into their brands, including Gwen Stefani with L.A.M.B and Harajuku Lovers , and Avril Lavigne with Abbey Dawn. Get the monthly that has L.A. talking.

The messenger.Photo: Courtesy of Ok! Magazine Jessica Simpson, whose presence in the fashion industry is still (for better or worse) wholly undeniable, confirmed to Ok! magazine that she is in fact pregnant with her fianc Eric Johnson's child. This could mean several things, the most probable being that she'll add maternitywear to her mass-market clothing line. A much more amusing (but less likely) possibility is that her pregnancy will make her cranky while she mentors contestants on her forthcoming show, NBC's Fashion Star . In related news, "Page Six" reports that Simpson was keeping her pregnancy under wraps until she could find a tabloid to pay her $500,000 to break the news and get first dibs on the eventual baby pictures.
