I?m going to tell you something shocking: Jessica Simpson?s memoir, Open Book, came out THIS YEAR. Doesn?t it feel like a lifetime ago? It came out pre-pandemic, and we got about ten stories out of it, which is pretty good for a celebrity memoir. Jessica spilled some vintage tea about her marriage to Nick Lachey, her relationship with John Mayer, her alcoholism and tons of other stuff. The memoir was well-received and I really respected Jessica for putting so much of that out there. Jessica recently spoke to SiriusXM?s The Jess Cagle Show about her pandemic life, sobriety and lots more. Some highlights:
Why she wrote her memoir, Open Book: ?I did make a huge shift in my life?. I was at that point in my life where my kids were growing older and they were watching every move that I made. I just really wanted clarity. I wanted to understand myself cause I didn?t even realize how much I was drinking and how much I was suppressing. I thought it was making me brave, I thought it was making me confident and it was actually the complete opposite, it was silencing me?.
On her sobriety: ?It?s almost been three years which is crazy, I mean it?s pretty, its awesome. People are like ?don?t you want to drink during this pandemic, oh my god aren?t your kids driving you crazy.? I?m like no, I do not want to drink, like, I have not wanted it, I feel like that?s a big blessing. Once I surrendered and gave it over I never looked back and my husband did it with me so that support was amazing.?
The pandemic journal: ?Through the pandemic every morning I journal and I haven?t done that in forever. Normally it was to do song writing or something like that. But now every morning I sit with my journal, I confront myself before I confront my family.?
How she hit rock bottom with her alcoholism: ?It just ended up coming to a surface. I knew a lot of it was coming up, coming up and I couldn?t suppress it any more. The alcohol was not numbing anything. It wasn?t numb anymore, I was just numb. I couldn?t even understand stuff that was coming out of my mouth, it didn?t sound like me. So I really had to get back inside the person that I am. When you do that self-reflection its very empowering. It takes a lot of courage. I can promise anyone on the other side of that fear, that courage is so beautiful and its one of the most rewarding things and decisions I have ever made in my life. And I never thought I would have to make that decision.?
On turning 40: ?I am, like, embracing the quarantine life. I freaked out two months before I turned 40, not knowing that that age would even mean anything to me but then its like 41, 42?. I?ve never calculated my age until now?. I am accepting it slowly [laughs] I just think I am such a person that reminisces, I hold on to so many memories, I am tragically romantic like that about my own self?.. Thank god I put a memoir out at 40 because if not it would have been 800 pages if I waited any longer.?
[From SiriusXM?s The Jess Cagle Show]
?I am tragically romantic like that about my own self? is such a surprisingly self-aware comment and it also made me laugh! And now I?m wondering if I am tragically romantic about myself too? Am I? Anyway, turning 40 is no fking joke and it does make you take stock of your life and what?s going right and what?s going wrong. I actually appreciate that Jessica?s alcoholic bottoming-out wasn?t some huge crime or drunken arrest or anything she was just self-medicating and her husband was tired of it and her friends were tired of it and she was tired of her drunk self. I would love to read her journals!

On Monday, which would have been Met Gala Day, Vogue published an ?oral history? of the gala. The gala was postponed indefinitely this year, and while we haven?t heard anything about it possibly going on in the fall, I think the chances are pretty good that there simply won?t be a Met Gala this year. Still, we got to enjoy some vintage drama from the Vogue oral history, including this story from a Vogue staffer named Sally Singer. Singer told a story about Jessica Simpson and John Mayer at the 2007 Met Gala:
On Monday, Vogue published a comprehensive oral history of the Met Gala, which includes a series of excerpts written by celebrities, designers, models and more. In the post, former Vogue creative digital director Sally Singer recalled witnessing a surprising exchange between Jessica Simpson and her then-boyfriend John Mayer in 2007.
Singer revealed that at the Poiret: King of Fashion-themed ball, Simpson?s breasts maybe fell out of her plunging, beaded Roberto Cavalli halter-neck gown while she was on the red carpet. And, according to the fashion editor, the wardrobe malfunction only got worse when Simpson, now 39, and Mayer, now 42, took their seats inside.
?At dinner it was suddenly like, whoa, Jessica Simpson?s breasts are across from me at the dinner table and they are on a platter and I?m looking at them,? Singer said in the Vogue piece. ?And John Mayer was putting his hands on them at the dinner table. He kind of reached down and I just remember thinking, ?Oh, celebrities, feel free to play here. That?s what?s going on?.?

When Jessica released her memoir earlier this year, there was a lot of introspection from various media figures about how they treated Jessica over the years. She was used as a punchline for a lot longer than it was funny, and a lot longer than her ?ditzy America?s Sweetheart? act went on. You know what I mean? She played up the ditzy thing on Newlyweds, but for years after that, people still treated her like she could barely function because she was so stupid. Anyway, Jessica posted this on her IG:

Feeling a little like Jayne Mansfield after reading this (inaccurate!) oral history of the #MetBall where I am body shamed by #SallySinger (https://www.vogue.com/article/the-complete-met-gala-oral-history) ?But in all seriousness I have persevered through shaming my own body and internalizing the world?s opinions about it for my entire adult life. To read this much anticipated article about the classiest fashion event there is and have to be shamed by another woman for having boobs in 2020 is nauseating.

Jessica Simpson gave birth to her daughter Birdie Mae six months ago. Jessica recently posted an Instagram where she talked about her postpartum weight loss journey, where she claims to have lost 100 pounds in six months. A lot of us were like ?huh?? Jessica always gains a lot of weight during her pregnancies, it?s just the way she?s built, but pregnancy doesn?t really explain that kind of weight gain and loss. I think Jessica was saying that she was already carrying around more weight than she would have liked when she got pregnant with Birdie, and then she gained a lot of weight during her pregnancy. Anyway, Jessica?s trainer Harley Pasternak spoke to People Magazine about the program he developed for Jessica this year:
Jessica called Pasternak days after giving birth: Jessica gave her longtime trainer Harley Pasternak a call ?days after she gave birth,? he tells PEOPLE. ?I?ve kind of helped her come back after each baby, and this is a bit different, in that she said she was tipping the scales at 240 [post-delivery]. This is sort of the aggregate of being pregnant nonstop for a decade, and so we had a little more of a challenge between this and the other ones,? he says.
The holistic approach: ?The difference between this and the other times was that she worked out, yes, but her transformation was more about what she did on her own time. She was so motivated and positive. She was saying that her body has not belonged to her for the past decade. Not in a bad way, in a positive way ? her body has been designated to create life and now it?s hers again and she?s going to make it fantastic in a really enjoyable way.?
Simpson had five daily tasks: getting in her steps, unplugging from technology for an hour, getting sleep, eating healthfully and exercising. The first task was easy for Simpson, who loves walking because ?it?s a social thing that she can do with her kids,? Pasternak says. He had her start with 6,000 steps a day for the first few weeks, and then slowly build back up to her usual 12,000.
The diet changes were based on Pasternak?s Body Reset Diet.?It?s three meals and two snacks a day, and each meal has protein, fiber and fat, and snacks are protein and fiber or protein and fat,? he says. ?She?ll have foods that are very flavorable that are healthier versions of things like a tortilla soup or Tex-Mex. And if she has a birthday party one night and a date night another night, she?s going to indulge both of those nights, but that?s it. It?s about balancing in a way that doesn?t make it painful or too much of a departure from your life before that.?
Gym time: And then a smaller portion of the 5-step process was working out. Pasternak says she would hit the gym for about 45 minutes, three days a week. ?My mantra is you get lean in life, and strong in the gym. So the majority of the weight loss actually came from everything she did outside of the gym, and then everything in the gym is about toning and tightening,? he says.
It wasn?t about reaching a number: ?I never work with scales,? he says. ?My work with her is more about the habits she?s created and kept up. Every night before she goes to bed she sends an email showing that she hit all five tasks, so she?ll go to bed feeling successful. She?s hit her step goal, she?s eaten well, she?s balanced her responsibilities ? so she can go to bed with a sense of fulfillment, and that?s everything. And as a byproduct of doing these habits, she lost 100 lbs.?
[From People]
It actually sounds like one of the better programs I?ve read about regarding celebrities. So many celebs go on crazy-restrictive diets or talk about spending hours in the gym, but this program is basically eating healthier (and I would imagine eating smaller portions) and walking a lot and just making sure to get sleep and work out at the gym at a comfortable level. And this was how Jessica lost 100 pounds? I guess.
These are photos of Jessica in New York recently.

During all three of Jessica Simpson?s pregnancies, it felt like she was gestating for a full year. Part of why it felt so long this time was because Jessica has been putting a lot of stuff out there on social media, including the time she broke a toilet seat, or the time she posted a photo of her hugely swollen feet, or the time she had to be hospitalized for bronchitis while preg (that happened less than a month ago). She also shared happier moments from her pregnancy on social media, like her baby shower, where she revealed that she and husband Eric had already picked out a name for this third child. And they didn?t change their minds! Jessica has finally given birth to a baby girl named Birdie:
She?s here! Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson welcomed their third child together, daughter Birdie Mae Johnson, on Tuesday, March 19, her rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
Baby Birdie weighed 10 lbs., 13 oz.
Simpson and the former NFL player also share son Ace Knute, 5, and daughter Maxwell ?Maxi? Drew, 6.
[From People]
Out of all of Jessica?s baby names, I think I like Birdie the best. Birdie Mae feels like a Southern nickname for some 1950s housewife whose real name was Barbara Maybelline or something. Jessica always said that Maxwell was a family name, and I?d be willing to bet that Birdie is too, whether it was someone?s real name or a family nickname. Anyway, I?m glad that pregnancy ordeal is over for Jessica and I?m glad she waited a while between Ace and Birdie. Do you think Birdie is the last? I bet she is.
Also Birdie is a BIG baby. Birdie and Prince Lou will meet some day at an all-you-can-eat restaurant and they?ll shut it down.

Jessica Simpson and her husband Eric Johnston have been in New York this week. Sidenote: I honestly had to stop for a moment and try to remember Eric?s name, and I was going to just call him Blargh McBlandFace but then his real name came to me. Every couple of months, Jessica seems to pop up in New York, and I would imagine that it has something to do with her fashion line, but what do I know. What happens is that we get daily pap strolls and ?date night? photos with some regularity. These are just some photos from this week?s pap strolls and date nights.
Can I just say? I hate all of these outfits except for the jeans-ensemble one. I would wear that entire jean-ensemble except for the jacket. I would leave the jacket at home and keep everything else. I actually love those jeans, which I know makes me sound so dated and unfashionable, but I?m still here for gdamn bootcuts and straight-legs. The skinny-jeans and the tapered jeans need to STAHP. The leopard print dress is? too low-cut, or maybe Jessica?s girls just can?t be contained. The yarn-like extensions need to go too.
Some say Jessica is a mess. I say Jess is living her best life. She?s got a ?kept husband? who adores her and is a hands-on dad to their kids. They go on date nights all the time. Jess eats whatever she wants and drinks however much she wants. Maybe I?m actually sort of jelly of Jessica Simpson, who would have thought.

This is just a quick thing, but how drunk was Jessica Simpson last night? You be the judge. Jessica and her husband Eric ?Big? Johnson went to Craig?s in West Hollywood, and these are photos of their exit from the restaurant. Or should I say, falling out of the restaurant. Jessica had that glassy-eyed boozy look that I recognize from my own boozy days (ah, memories). She lost her balance in the few yards it took to get from the door of Craig?s to the door of her car. She also made a perfect drunkface as she got into the car, sticking out her tongue at the paps.
Jessica has always enjoyed her booze, and before she had her babies, she was well-known for liking to down several cocktails with her dinner. She talked about it a lot, how much she liked a Scotch on the rocks, or whatever else was around. I don?t think she?s much of a beer drinker, but she probably drinks wine. And heavy liquor. You know what?s remarkable? Jessica has never gotten a DUI. She gets sh-tfaced on the reg, but maybe she?s self-aware enough to know that she should never get behind the wheel. Good for her on that, at least.
Anyway, are you judging her? I?m not. I have no idea if she?s a raging alcoholic or if she?s merely a happy drunk/social drinker/whatever. I do think she looks like she?s been boozing a lot lately – those are a lot of empty calories in those cocktails, and I guess she?s not under contract with Weight Watchers anymore.

Jessica Simpson may not be the household name she was back in the day anymore, but here’s my former #1 favorite busty blonde posting topless bikini pictures from the pool, just like the good old days. And I’m telling you, if Jessica keeps this up, I think she could make a serious hotness comeback. Maybe […]
