Earlier this month, we saw paparazzi photos of Jessica Simpson making out in Capri, Italy with her still married but legally separated new boyfriend, former 49ers tight end Eric Johnson. It was suspicious considering that the two had been dating just over a month, were more than happy to pose for photographers and more than likely tipped them off, considering their location.
This month’s Star Magazine outlines Johnson’s probable motivations for hooking up with Jessica “I fart in bed and never brush my teeth” Simpson. There’s the fame aspect and the urge to find an eager woman to control aspect, as evidenced by the fact that Johnson (allegedly) put Simpson on that cleansing diet she was tweeting about. Now money is coming into the picture too. In that Johnson, a free agent and unemployed former NFL star, needs some and is staying with Jessica rent free, letting Simpson pay for everything and buy him clothes. Could Jessica Simpson be so dumb? I guess we already know the answer to that.
Here’s part of Star’s report, which is full of so many details that it sounds pretty legit. (It’s always hard to tell with Star, although they’ve been hitting the mark much more lately):
One insider tells Star. “She’s been paying for everything in their relationship, and it doesn’t seem like Eric intends to stop that anytime soon.”
In just two short months together, Jessica has already done countless favors for Eric and splashed out tons of cash on him. And that suits him just fine. The still-married former NFL tight end hasn’t held down a steady gig since he was dropped by the New Orleans Saints in 2008 - the 30-year-old has even admitted that he isn’t cut out for a tough job. “I saw how many hours my mom worked and didn’t want to get caught in that cycle,” he has said about his mother, Mary Jo, a Boston-based attorney.
Now Eric’s even weasled his way into crashing rent-free at Jessica’s Beverly Hills mansion! According to a divorce court filing, he once owned a home with his wife, Keri, in Richmond City, CA, that had to be sold, leaving Eric without a permanent place to live. “He isn’t making money, and he’ll lose half of what he does have when his divorce is final,” dishes the insider. “He’s pinching pennies wherever he can.”
But he doesn’t mind if Jessica spends big bucks! To celebrate her birthday, Eric joined Jessica on a luxury trip to Italy, where she treated him to the good life, including staying at a $3,000-a-night suit at the Hotel Hassler in Rome, lounging on the Mediterranean aboard her $5,000-a-day chartered yacht. Nafisa, and eating and drinking at only the finest restaurants…
Once back in L.A., Eric’s money train just kept chugging along. On July 15, Jessica made a pricey pit stop in the men’s department of Bloomingdale’s, where she stocked up on Khakis and other clothing for Eric. She then hit Foot Locker and snapped up men’s sneakers.

Is it sexist to report it this way? Like if this was George Clooney outfitting his latest cocktail waitress/aspiring actress and paying for everything no one would say that he was an idiot getting used, because it’s traditional for men to pay and Clooney uses women in his way too. I don’t fully believe this, but I’ll play devil’s advocate here and say that Jessica is using this guy Eric just as much as he’s using her for money. She arranged those makeout pictures to give the tabloids the impression that she has a loving boyfriend on her 30th birthday. That’s using the guy even if he was a willing participant. If he’s game I think she’ll marry him and try to attain another superficially “happy” marriage if possible, but that doesn’t mean she’s still not using him. Is she into him as a person or is she just looking for some kind of stability and a family life? It’s like men are a means to an end for her and she’ll do whatever it takes.

Jessica Simpson has found her first wrinkle and she wants us all to know about it. The 30 year-old singer and reality star tweeted “It is official- I’m 30 and found a wrinkle. Damnit!!” My heart bleeds for her and her single wrinkle. What’s next for Simpson, a little fillers and botox to even it all out? Is she going to sport cat-eyes and puffy cheeks like Kim Kardashian?
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jessica Simpson should get together and swap stories about how to love yourself so you’ll attract a better “caliber” of man. Those two would make a great pair. They could do an “empowering” reality show about improving self esteem through fad diets and extreme beauty rituals while telling us that we should be happy the way we are - so that men will like us better.
Jessica is pretty much already doing that. VH1 confirmed earlier this month that they’ll still be working with her despite the colossal failure of her beauty travelogue show, The Price of Beauty. The show will no longer focus on Simpson and her buddies traveling around the world to mock other cultures. It will instead involve them giving women makeovers. That’s so empowering! That way, the lucky makeover recipients can land boyfriends and eventually husbands to show the world how happy and fulfilled they are.

Earlier this week, CB covered some of the photos from Jessica Simpson?s extravagant birthday celebrations in Italy, with her family and her new boyfriend Eric Johnson. Jessica and company don?t seem to mind that they?re getting pap?d at every step of this trip - thus, we have new photos of Jessica and Eric in Rome yesterday, walking hand-in-hand and even mugging and kissing for the benefit of the cameras.
Now, this really does surprise me. Sure, whenever Jessica falls in love (or lust), she falls hard and the world has to know about it. She gives interviews, she gets a People Magazine cover where she talks about her ?love? and immediately tabloids start talking about wedding plans and babies, etc. But I thought Jessica had changed? She is, after all, 30 years old now. Do we have to do this every time?
Plus - there?s still drama with his ex-wife - are they in the middle of their divorce? I don?t know. And everything has happened so fast for Jessica and Eric. By my estimation, they?ve barely been dating a month. Isn?t this new-boyfriend PR roll-out happening very fast? Is Eric the one? He seems dumb as a box of hair, and he seems like he?s just in it for the free boobs and Italian vacation.
Look at some of these shots and tell me this whole thing doesn?t reek of an old-fashioned, old-school, old-Hollywood PR situation. And Jessica’s black-and-white dress is… not good. It’s not a bad cut or anything, the print just makes me think of cows, and that’s not good.

Making for quite the romantic getaway, Jessica Simpson spent her 30th birthday surrounded by family, friends and boyfriend Eric Johnson in Capri.
The "Dukes of Hazzard" darling and her loved ones spent the special night on a beautiful terrace at the hotel Punto Tragara, with Jess smooching her beau throughout the evening.
Sources tell that Miss Simpson and fellow party guests enjoyed a traditional Italian feast before Jess got to blow out the candles on a delicious cake.
Making for a late soiree, the group sat around until 2:30AM, drinking, laughing and telling stories while overlooking the yachts and bay.
As for turning 30-years-old, Jessica previously told press, "I thought I had it figured out; I'm going to be this great pop star, be married, have babies."

Here’s one I’m sure you can relate to — this one time I woke up in a frat house bathroom without any pants on. Now, your initial instinct in that situation is to set a small trash can fire as a distraction and bolt for the nearest exit once people start to panic, but seeing as how my lighter was in my pants, I had no choice but to attempt to fashion a makeshift loincloth out of the toilet seat cover. It wouldn’t stay up by itself, but as luck would have it, I found an old ace bandage under the sink that I was able to use to hold the seat cover in place by wrapping it between my legs and over my shoulders and back around my waist, sort of like a sumo wrestler’s diaper, except with suspenders. So why am I telling you all this? Because I’d rather be photographed in my compression-bandage/toilet-accessory ensemble than in that dress Jessica Simpson’s wearing in these pictures. The only way that thing could be more unflattering is if the word “DUMPY” were also cross-stitched across the bosom.

Knowing that Jessica Simpson was on vacation somewhere beachy, we saw her holiday chubcakes earlier, I was hoping to see her in a bikini horsing around with her new douche. These pictures are a good start. She’s not wearing anything too revealing, but we get a fairly good idea as to what’s

I for one am delighted that Jessica Simpson decided to take her tasty big chubcakes out for a little shopping over the weekend, and I’m sure I’m not alone on this. I like when a woman’s boobs get to the point where she has trouble keeping them hidden from onlookers like me.

Enjoying a lovers? getaway, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson were spotted strolling through Capri, Italy earlier today (July 9).
The ?Come On Over? songstress and the former NFL player looked to be enjoying each other?s company as they hit up a few shops and enjoyed the beautiful scenery together.

As I predicted yesterday, Us Weekly?s Jessica Simpson cover story this week is full of sh-t. Now, I?m pretty much over Jessica because of her powerful stupidity and all, but I don?t really wish her ill. She?s got enough bad stuff going on in her life that is totally up for grabs, gossip-wise, that we don?t have to make up stuff, like phantom pregnancies to explain away her burrito (and tostado, nachos and margarita) baby. But that?s what Us Weekly did, by trying to make us think that Jessica?s romance with former football player Eric Johnson is somehow ?risky?. And once again, Eric is only kind-of married at this point. He and his estranged wife filed for divorce back in January or February, and by most accounts, his wife doesn?t seem to care that he?s off with Jessica. Here?s Jezebel?s excerpt from Jezebel?s tabloid round-up:
Though various sources describe ex-NFL player Eric Johnson as a “hardworking” guy who makes Jessica “really happy,” he’s definitely an a–hole. Consider this evidence:
1) He filed for divorce in January, but it still hasn’t been finalized (though he and his ex are on good terms).
2) He took Jessica home for a family reunion, and meeting his folks for the first time was totally “awkward.”
3) Though he knocked her up five weeks before meeting her (says OK!), he now encouraging her to crash diet.
4) Jessica is inherently incapable of having a happy, stable relationship (according to the tabs, at least).

So, does the guy really sound like a douche? On a scale of Clive Owen (the best, naturally) to John Mayer (The Douche Supreme), I?d say he sounds like a solid Chace Crawford (he might have a few douche moments, but overall, he?s too bland to be either extreme). Oh, and just FYI - Jessica?s new romance has gotten the seal of approval from People Magazine, who ran a glowing little piece about Jess and Eric?s fourth of July:
Jessica Simpson and her new beau, former NFL player Eric Johnson, have been spending quality time together ? including a cozy Fourth of July celebration. Two days after Simpson attended the grand opening of the Casino Club at The Greenbrier Sulphur Springs, W. Va., she was spotted with Johnson at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Florida.
“They were very nice,” says bartender Ben Brewer. “She was wearing shorts and big shades. She did look absolutely stunning.”
The singer, who turns 30 on Saturday, and Johnson, 30, lounged by the pool and sipped fruity cocktails at the resort on the holiday.
But their romantic getaway was short lived: The following morning they had to return to the real world. Although they have kept their romance low-key, they weren’t shy about showing some PDA at the Jacksonville, Fla., airport, where sources say they hopped a flight to Los Angeles.
“They were definitely huggy-kissy at the ticket counter,” says one eyewitness.
“They were holding hands,” adds another observer, “and she was rubbing his back and scratching his head. They were affectionate.”
[From People]
Allegedly, Jessica and Eric have been dating for five weeks. FIVE. WEEKS. And Eric?s already under the tabloid gun to be Mr. Perfect Boyfriend. Ha. So after five whole weeks, they?re still in that stage of just having sex all the time and they probably aren?t having very deep conversations (and they never will). I do think that it?s a little funny after making Nick Lachey wait all of those years that Jessica now gives the milk away for free to any dude who can fumble a ball. HA.
Looking at photos of Jessica standing next to Jennifer Garner and Brooke Shields is like looking at some museum exhibit about the evolution of boobs.

She?s definitely kissed more than her fair share of frogs in hopes of finding her prince, and it seems Jessica Simpson may have finally succeeded.
According to an inside source, the ?Come On Over? songstress? new beau Eric Johnson is definitely a keeper.
?He?s one of the nicest guys around,? said the source. ?I?m surprised he is dating her. She is such a big star and he is so reserved.?
"He is the polar opposite of what you think of when you say 'player.? When I met him, he was driving a Prius when other athletes were driving gas-guzzling cars."
