I was standing in the checkout line yesterday at my local supermarket when I saw a very nude, very pregnant Jessica Simpson staring at me from the cover of the April issue of Elle magazine. She should be ashamed of herself. The 31-year-old songstress, actress and fashion designer is celebrating her impending motherhood for the whole world to see. But it is no cause for celebration when a baby is born out of wedlock – even to a rich and famous mom like Simpson. That’s not to suggest that Simpson should be punished with an Old Testament stoning (or be...

Former Democratic Sen. John Edwards is facing “imminent” indictment relating to his use of campaign funds to cover up an extramarital affair during his 2008 presidential run, according to The National Enquirer. A grand jury has been investigating the North Carolinian's use of the funds since April, and the Enquirer quotes a friend of Edwards saying that, although the former candidate does not believe he did anything wrong, he is “terrified” that he will be made an example of in this case. And in a soap opera twist, Elizabeth Edwards may in fact testify against her estranged husband, The Hill...

A report that Jessica Simpson and Tiger Woods once flirted is a complete lie, the singer says. "Can't believe that I'm on the cover of star magazine with Tiger Woods, what a JOKE! 'The Shocking Inside Story' is (insert drumroll) A LIE!" Simpson, 29, Tweeted Wednesday. According to the Star magazine report, the two exchanged e-mails and phone numbers after clicking at the AT&T National Pro-Am golf tournament in Bethesda, Md., in July. Woods had been partnered with Tony Romo, who split with Simpson later that month. Kenny Chesney has shot down similar rumors of a flirtation with Simpson that...

If Obama, Jessica Simpson, and Wolf Blitzer were contestants on Jeopardy! this is pretty much how the show would play out....

Apparently, President Barack Obama thought that Jessica Simpson's weight was something he needed to make fun of during his pre-Super Bowl interview with Matt Lauer on NBC Sunday. Seriously. Obama called Jessica Simpson a fatty on national TV. Lauer displayed for the audience the cover of a recent issue of the tabloid entertainment magazine US Weekly that featured the President's wife and daughters and also had an insert photo pushing a story about singer Simpson. As he viewed the cover, Obama decided to smack the singer down for "losing a weight battle."

The price of meat, milk and other British farm products will have to rise to reflect the environmental cost of producing them, a Government study has concluded.

Sorry, Giants fans: According to new reports, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have punted their romance. Sources told TMZ.com that the couple, who have dated since November 2007, quietly called things quits. Romo was also overheard by an Us Weekly spy telling friends that he's single again. That same night, the mag says, Simpson went on a binge-drinking session with pals.

Jessica Simpson apparently is working it to keep the magic in her relationship with Tony Romo. Star magazine reports that the singer and reality show veteran gives her Web cam a workout for the benefit of the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. When they're apart, she will be - to quote Tina Turner - his private dancer, and she "isn't shy about her body - or her dance moves," Star said.

IRVING, Texas - Jess win, baby! Even a fake Jessica Simpson was good enough to throw off the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, as Big Blue took a Giant step toward the Super Bowl. The Giants, who notched a stunning 21-17 victory over Dallas in the NFC Divisional Playoffs, had a good-luck charm in the stands - in the form of Simpson lookalike Lynsey Nordstrom. The real Simpson was the subject of great hand-wringing in Big D all week because of her budding romance with Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and his habit of falling short on the field when gal pals are...

Irving, Texas (AP) -- Terrell Owens has a message for Jessica Simpson: Stay away. Simpson has become Public Enemy No. 1 among Dallas Cowboys fans because of a link being made between her appearance at Sunday's game and the poor performance of her new boyfriend, quarterback Tony Romo. "Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite — in this locker room or in Texas Stadium," Owens said Wednesday. The Cowboys lost 10-6 to the Philadelphia Eagles and Romo had what was statistically the worst game of his career, all while Simpson sat in a luxury box wearing a pink...

Tony Romo Didn't Impress New Flame Jessica Simpson NEW YORK (CBS) ― You could say that Jessica Simpson wasn't a good luck charm for Dallas Cowboy star Tony Romo. Simpson, Romo's new girlfriend, was sitting in a luxury box with Romo's parents rooting for her man while wearing a pink Dallas Cowboy's jersey with his number (#9) on it. Romo, whose ex- girlfriend is Carrie Underwood, played terribly in their final home game before the playoffs, a 10-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Romo was 13-of-36, for 214 yards, with a career-low passer rating of 22.2. Ironically, Romo's worst rating...

If you think veterans groups are disgruntled with John Kerry, imagine how poor Jessica Simpson feels. Before the senator was trashing the troops, he was on the stump belittling everyone's favorite blonde bombshell. "Attacking Patrick Murphy for his [military] service is a little bit like Jessica Simpson attacking Albert Einstein's IQ," Kerry told an audience in Philly in defense of a Democratic House candidate there. We're not sure if Simpson was a Kerry supporter before, but she isn't now. Seems the senator's widely quoted comment didn't sit so well with the singer. "Obviously, it's stupid, and we don't agree with...

Adding to Jess's troubles is news that she and her sister Ashlee have been attacked by a Christian minister for using sex to sell their CDs. Although Jessica's and Ashlee's raunchy film clips and photo shoots are no sexier than the work of their pop peers, the Reverend Bob Harrington has singled the girls out for criticism because their father and manager, Joe, was once a Baptist preacher himself. "They don't represent American standards and certainly not Christian standards," fumes the Texan minister. "Their father has replaced his faith in the Lord with the love of money, which is the...

Jessica Simpson has developed an illness affecting her vocal cords. As a result, she cannot sing. This comes just as Simpson was preparing to kick off the tour promoting her latest album, "A Public Affair." Simpson's publicist, Rob Shuter, stated that "She sounds a little off, but, you know, she can't sing." Well, yeah, but what has being sick done to her voice? I have heard Simpson's singing. I have even sat through the painful ordeal of watching her "A Public Affair" video on the Fan. I thought it was one of the most inane and vapid things I had...

..... "I'll tell you how I knew my marriage was over," he continues flatly, tugging at his black T-shirt. "I was told." .... Before his wife's revelation, Lachey believed they were working through "a tough phase." Simpson had her own agenda, which may or may not have been orchestrated by her father, Joe, a man so displeased with his daughter's marriage to Lachey that he could barely smile at the wedding.....

When last we left “American Idol” loopy lady Paula Abdul, she was blaming her fellow judge Simon Cowell for whispering silly things in her ear that made her appear dazed and confused. Apparently, the “American Idol” producers weren’t buying her explanation and were this close to firing the diminutive ditz earlier this month. “Paula was being very difficult,” an “Idol” source told US Weekly. “(She was) crying all the time and arriving late for meetings.” The set spy reported the show’s execs discussed dumping Abdul and replacing her with a fresher face. “(They) liked Jessica (Simpson) a lot,” the spy...

WASHINGTON (March 17) - Jessica Simpson loves President Bush. She's just not a big fan of Republican fundraisers. The Hollywood starlet and tabloid cover girl was in Congress on Thursday to lobby for Operation Smile, a nonprofit organization that provides reconstructive surgery to children with facial deformities. Everyone was asking, however, why she turned down an invitation to attend a Republican fundraiser with Washington's top star, the president. "We went back and forth, and we could never get the details worked out," said her father and manager, Joe Simpson. "When it became obvious that it was not just a state...

Jessica Simpson has fired back at press reports she snubbed a meeting with President George W. Bush, insisting he ran out of time to sit down with her. Simpson insists she is not among the celebrities who are keen to attack the US President - and she's still hoping the pair can reschedule their meeting. Simpson was set to meet the leader Friday, during the pop star's visit to Capitol Hill in Washington DC, where she'll address congressmen about charity organization Operation Smile. She says, "I'm just so excited because the President asked for a special meeting. We're going to...
