Great news, guys! Jessica Simpson‘s gone and set her wedding date! I mean, we don’t know when it is or anything, and for her sake, it’s probably better off that way, but hey – progress!

She and Eric Johnson, ex-NFL player to whom she was engaged earlier this year, are said to be in the planning process of their wedding, though Jess herself has no idea what she’s going to wear:

“I’m still trying to figure out what to wear! I don’t know if I want the big boom, or the curvy thing, but it will be something beautiful … I kind of have a couple ideas in my head, and I have a date; I’m really excited!”

And I’M still sitting here trying to figure out what ‘the big boom’ is. Um, anyway, Jess also claims that she won’t be doing any kind of crazy crash dieting for her wedding, ’cause she just doesn’t give a fuck about that kind of stuff:

“I just have to work out on my own. There is no regimen I need to follow. There’s no diet I need to follow. I just need to do some things for myself and that’s it. And that will make me feel the happiest. No exercise is fun! I am going to dance around my bedroom and hopefully lose some weight — and lift some weights and do what I can!”

And you know what, honestly speaking? I think that’s the thing I like the most about her: she truly DOESN’T give a fuck. Maybe if less people started not giving a fuck, the world would be an easier place to be. Maybe we should all take a page out of Jess’s book and see how things turn out, huh?

The tattoo reads ‘Thank you.’ And says the actor, it’s there “in case I forget to say it,” he says with a wink. Oh my.

Here’s your hints:

1. He also has the initials ‘ER’ tattooed on his wrist, from back when he briefly dated Emma Roberts.

2. He’s got a reputation for being a ladies’ man and lost a different girlfriend over it.

3. He’s a UK-born actor.

Jump in for the answer!

Are you as excited about this as I am? Because I am PRETTY. DARN. EXCITED. As I’ve told you plenty of times before, I am a hardcore Harry Potter fan. I’ve, like, even gone as far as to look up some of the cooler, more delicious-sounding recipes that are featured in the series and MADE THEM. (Butterbeer? Um, amazing.) I have no doubts that when I hit the theaters for this movie, that the tears’ll be flowing. Totally. Harry Potter has been so much more than just another movie franchise to its fans, and you can bet that these movies will be of – dare I say it – Star Wars-type fame in the coming decades.

Before I say a bunch of really petty stuff about Lisa Loeb, allow me to say that she totally killed it on the Reality Bites soundtrack in 1994 and that I think I owned a CD of hers when I was in sixth grade. Fine, I know I owned a CD of hers. Also, I feel really badly that she dated Ethan Hawke back in the day because I feel like she’s a really sensitive lady and he’s probably a major satchel of dicks. OK? We square? I got the nice shit out of the way?

ALRIGHT!

You guys, when I saw today that the chronically bespectacled Lisa Loeb is releasing a new line of eyewear and then cross referenced a calendar and realized that it’s definitely, 100% 2011, I laughed my ass off. Did someone wake this chick up from a coma and tell her about endorsement deals or something? Why wasn’t she on this like, 15 years ago when she had a drop of relevancy?

The only thing that’s funnier than the idea that anyone would actually purchase these glasses is the mission statement on the line’s website:

The Lisa Loeb Eyewear Collection offers comfortable frame styles for every look and occasion. The collection includes classic pieces in black and tortoise shell, as well as embellished options accentuated with rhinestones and etchings. Colors range from neutral tones to eloquent bursts of rich turquoise, lavender, lemon ice and cherry red. Each frame is named after one of Lisa’s songs and some delicious colors are inspired by Lisa’s love of food. All frames include a designer hard case and custom Lisa Loeb cleaning cloth.

Her love of food? A Lisa Loeb cleaning cloth? You’ll have to excuse me, I think I’m having a seizure.

In all seriousness, though, I do need a new pair of glasses and I don’t totally hate her designs. I’ll be willing to try them on at the optometrists office as long as I can think of a way to cover my ass if anyone ever asks me who designed my second set of eyes.

Wanna see pictures of the glasses? They’re after the jump, my honey babies…

Sarah posted a link to a story about Blake Lively‘s new hair color in one of today’s link round ups, but I think this radical change is worth a little more than a link, right? Blake Lively not being a blonde anymore? Yo, I could write a book about all my hair feelings.

I don’t think Blake looks any better, but I also don’t think she looks any worse. I recently dyed my naturally dark brown hair red, and after about a month and a half of attempting to keep it up, I went right back to my natural shade. Dyed red hair is hard to keep bright and shiny and I was spending about fifty bucks every month on getting my roots touched up. The change was a lot for me, but I’m sure that a celebrity like Blake doesn’t have to worry about the amount of money she drops at the salon.

Also, now that we’ve seen her pull off the red, I want to see her do something dark. It seems like she has that skin tone and eye color that can pull off any hue, which makes her pretty darn lucky.

Do you like Blake’s red hair? Vote in the poll and feel free to elaborate in the comments section.

What happens with the “hardest” and “most rockin’” teen in rock n’ roll history stops by the set of the brassiest woman in show biz‘s late night talk show? Talk about childhood orgies, cigarettes and how hard Taylor rocks, of course.

The two got along pretty famously, which is surprising considering the fact that both ladies and kind of confrontational and known for running their mouths. Perhaps they were both just afraid they’d finally met their match?

Either way, I found this interview pretty fun to watch and was kind of blown away by how pleasant Taylor seemed. Like, shoot… maybe she’s not all that bad.
