Jessica Simpson received "vintage cars" and "leather jackets" for her son at her baby shower.

And Jessica can't wait to have a little boy in her house because it will be a totally new experience for her as she grew up with a younger sister, pop star Ashlee.

The blonde beauty - who is engaged to former NFL star Eric Johnson - told People magazine: "I'm so excited to have a son. He got all these cute vintage cars and I got a lot of little leather jackets I can't wait to try out ... I didn't grow up with a brother and I think the unknown is really exciting. I can't wait to have that connection with our little man."

Jessica and Eric's daughter Maxwell really enjoyed herself at the party and was "taking over some of her little brother's gifts".

The Tom Sawyer-themed shower was hosted by Jessica's mother Tina, organised by celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss and was held next to the pond at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles.

Guests were treated to a Southern comfort food inspired menu and there was even a grilled cheese station making toasted sandwiches for the kids in attendance.

Jessica did indulge in the calorific treats but insists she hasn't gained anywhere near the 60 pounds she put on when pregnant for the first time.

The singer - who has been working out three times a week with trainer Harley Pasternak - said: "I always love some fried chicken. This pregnancy I'm active. I've only gained half of what I gained in my first pregnancy."
