Jessica Simpson is pregnant. Rumors about the stars pregnancy have been circulating for weeks, but Simpson was waiting for a lucrative magazine deal before she made the official announcement. She got that deal last night. Simpson was reportedly paid a half million dollars to break the news to OK Magazine. 

OK Magazine, you know, could have just waited a few more months until the baby bump was undeniable, but I guess that doesn’t sell magazines.

Simpson told the magazine:

“Well, now I can eat anything I want and no one will care. It’s just sort of a rule with pregnant women.”

OK Magazine will release all the details when the magazine hits shelves next Thursday.

But what’s there to know? Life and Style Magazine reported earlier this month that Jessica Simpson was having a baby girl, that her and her fiance Eric Johnson were getting married on November 11th in Hawaii, and that Simpson is ecstatic, saying that having a girl is “like winning the lottery twice.”

Of course, those facts were taken from one of Jessica Simpson’s friends and not from the star herself, so they may not be completely accurate.

Simson was quoted previously, saying:

“We’re enjoying our commitment to each other. We want to take our time … We might elope if it gets to that point.”

So maybe OK Magazine will be able to report the exact wedding date, but is that really worth $500,000?

If you’re dying to know the details of Jessica Simpson’s pregnancy you can pick up a copy of OK Magazine this Thursday.

OK Magazine is in some well deserved strife for putting Michael Jackson’s dead body (death photo) on the cover.

The “last photo of Michael Jackson” exclusive is said to have cost the magazine a cool $500,000.

Jackson’s family and friends are said to be outraged by the cover, and there’s an unconfirmed report that one of Jackson’s relatives has lodged a petition in court to have the sale of the magazine stopped.

Personally I’m just stunned they paid $500,000 for a blurry picture

Page Six has reported that some unlucky son-of-a-gun will be getting axed at OK! after they destroyed Ashlee Simpson’s name on the mag cover announcing her new baby boy with Pete Wentz. Susan Toepfer was named the new Editor-in-Chief just a few weeks back, and now? Oh, the agony:

“[...] The glossy had its first big bungle. [OK!] somehow managed to misspell Ashlee Simpson’s name as “Ashley” – on the cover, no less. A rep for the magazine told Page Six, ‘It is highly embarrassing and, sadly, someone will probably be fired.’”

Imagine the finger pointing! I’m sure it was brutal. Of course, said “source” could just be lying to keep Papa Joe at bay. Any bets on whether or not someone will actually be asked to leave?

Jamie Spears spoke to OK! yesterday about acting as Britney’s conservator, and even though his intentions were questioned in the beginning, he does have Britney’s best at heart. Plus, he doesn’t want to stick around any longer than needed, saying that he’s “hopeful that his daughter will reach a place where she no longer needs [his assistance].”

“I would hope that it stands until the end of the year, and then we’ll sit back and evaluate where we are at the time, where Britney is at that time. It’s wonderful. It’s new for both of us. She sometimes calls me 50 times a day and asks me things that light my life up.”

It sounds like Britney’s got a new crutch now– her dad! Here’s to a dependency on the acceptable side– and a not-so-scary rest of the year. (Let’s just get past those VMAs, shall we?)
