OK! is definitely a step above, say, the Enquirer, or worse, Star, but a tabloid is still a tabloid no matter what you call it and how professional your layout looks. But hey, by the looks of things from our end, Jess is definitely pregnant, and OK! is the first almost-magazine to publish the story. From OK!:
Dressed in a flowing striped maxi dress, a beaming Jessica Simpson smiled as she arrived for a baby shower at the Ivy at the Shore restaurant in Santa Monica. The performer, along with her mom, Tina; sister, Ashlee; and 2-year-old nephew, Bronx, was at the restaurant on Oct. 15 to celebrate childhood friend Stephanie McGuire Terblanche’s impending motherhood — but that’s not the only baby the Simpson clan is getting ready for! “Jessica is so excited,” says a close friend, who confesses that Jessica has been slowly telling all her pals that she and fiancé Eric Johnson, 32, are becoming parents.
OK! also claims that Jess is doing the full-on eating-for-two bit, too:
She joked, ‘Well, now I can eat anything I want and no one will care. It’s just sort of a rule with pregnant women.’ But it was typical Jessica that she was making a joke of it.”
So can we officially do this already? Will People get up off their dead asses and pick this story up for their cover so we can finally put all of the obvious non-speculation to bed? What’s your call, is Jess going to have a boy or a girl?
