Jessica Simpson Belatedly Wishes You a Happy 4th of July!

The photo came out last night, and showed a glowing and always-lovely Jessica hugging on her fiance, Eric Johnson, and their very large, very serious-looking baby, Maxwell Drew.

And my oh my is that one very large and very serious-looking infant.

Anyway, a lot of you guys were saying that you were sick of seeing the slack-jawed photo of Jessica flaunting her ample cleavage, so I thought I’d dig something new up for you to get sick of instead. Because I love this photo *so much* that I’m probably going to run it with every Jessica Simpson-related post in the coming days and weeks.

Some of you might think I’m mocking this photo, but I’m really not. I mean, yeah, it could definitely be in the running for most awkward family photo of all time, but I’m not poking fun in a mean-spirited way. That’s just one serious-looking baby and dear heart Eric Johnson looks like he’s going to put our girl Jess in a choke-hold if she doesn’t smile big enough for the camera.

Here’s a photo of me with *my* newest baby on the Fourth, so in return for mocking Jessica’s family photo, I’m willing to allow myself to be subject to your mockery, as well. The husband was taking the photo, so he’s obviously not in it.


Pardon the messy (Anne Hathaway) hair and glasses. It was a holiday on which I did not have to work or do much of anything. I had no interest whatsoever in makeup and glitz and glam.

Happy Belated 4th of July from EVERYONE!

  • Yay – I was hoping you’d eventually share a pic of your Anne Hathaway do!
    I like it. I’ve never had the guts to go any shorter than the typical “just above the shoulders with heavy bangs”-do.
    As of right now I’m trying to grow one of those cuts out in favour of long, flowy hair but it’s taking me aaages. Anywho I’ve always loved the super short pixie-type thing and you pull it off nicely.

    See – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love when people share … Turns out your hair is a much more exciting topic for discussion than Jess’ 4th of July photo.

    • You should go ahead and do it! I’d wanted to for ages, but I was so afraid for whatever reason. One day I woke up and said, “Screw it, I’m just going to go and DO it already. Whatever. It’s hair.” And it was one of the most liberating things ever.

      And thank you! :)

  • Yup, my baby is definitely, positively cutter than hers. (She gave birth a day after I did, and we both had a Cesarean, and she’s been ridiculed a bit more than me about how HUGE she had become, but I was a close second)

    But, they look truly happy, which is what counts.

    Sarah, nice hair and a cool looking baby there :)

    • Your son is ADORABLE ADORABLE ADORABLE! I also *love* your blog. It’s just about the sweetest.

      And thank you!

      • Told ya.

        Obviously, I love the blog you write for too. I keep lying to myself that I check out it daily (okay, twice a day) only out of purely scientific reasons – I am an amateur anthropologist and celebrity culture is one of the most curious phenomenons out there – but let’s face it. I am simply addicted to gossip like everyone else here.

        :D

  • I am very mean-spirited. I don’t mock; I scourge. Who wears a big, baggy SWEATER on the 4th of July???? Answer: Someone who wants to hide the load that will cost her 4 million if she doesn’t get rid of it. That baby is huge and looks just like her dad. You would be serious too if your mother was Jessica Simpson…probably tries to figure out how to break out of the crib and crawl for her life. Your baby is way cuter and so are you. I’m not interested in mocking you. I don’t like Jessica Simpson for the same reason black people hate “Uncle Toms.” She’s the walking and unfortunately talking example of every negative stereotype of women. Are we clear on this now?

  • Maybe they wear them in Alaska, but not anywhere else south of the veritable Arctic Circle. July (the entire month, really) is H O T. Maybe there are some people out there who would like a heat stroke by layering up in wool and chenille, but I’ve never even seen one.

    • He IS a ginger! My hair’s naturally auburn-ish on a good day, but my mom’s was bright coppery orange-red, so I guess that’s where he gets it (because my husband’s hair is almost black). LOL Thanks! I love him to pieces.

  • You look so different in that pic than the one you usually post. Like you a lot Sarah. You are honest, brave and true. Do you have a girl and a boy? They call that the millionaire’s family, for some reason.

    Do like Emily too. Big job for just two bloggers.

  • Who is the girl from Teen Mom that’s cute as a button?? Macy? Sarah, you sort of remind me of her! Cute hair & cute little butterbean you have there. ;)
