You know how you can say a word or a phrase or something over and over and over, and then eventually, much like Jessica Simpson‘s upcoming wedding, it just doesn’t make sense? Weird, right?

Despite rumors to the contrary, Jessica and her fiance, Eric Johnson, are sailing along happily, and come November, they’ll declare their everlasting love with an extravagant wedding in Hawaii.  Cue Eric high fiving his bros for scoring the best meal ticket ever.

Here’s some more wedding details from In Touch via Celebitchy:

After months of stalling, Jessica Simpson has finally agreed to an “I do” date – 11:11 a.m. on November 11, 2011- and she plans to ensure that her nuptials with Eric Johnson, 31, become the new wedding of the century!

“Jessica will be spending upward of $1 million, easily,” a source close to the singer, 30, tells In Touch of the splashy affair, which will take place on the romantic Hawaiian island of Kauai.

The surprise announcement is a huge relief to Jessica’s friends, who as In Touch previously reported, had all but given hope that the couple would ever make it to the altar. The reason for Jessica’s sudden wedding fever? It’s a last ditch attempt to revive her career, says another insider. “She was devastated when she didn’t get hired to be a judge on The X Factor….”

Now… inspired by the hysteria surrounding the royal wedding, Jessica has hired [planner] Mindy Weiss to oversee a headline-grabbing event that will help her reclaim the spotlight. “She’s flying more than 50 family members and friends to spend a week partying with her and Eric in Hawaii,” a friend of Jessica’s tells In Touch.

Between Weiss’ fee ($150,000), guests airfares ($50,000), rings ($100,000), hair and makeup ($25,000) and flowers ($10,000), the costs are already staggering. “She’s picking up the tab for everything,” says the friend, who notes that Eric is currently jobless.

Jessica refuses to spare any expense – least of all when it comes to her gown. Referring to the now-iconic Alexander McQueen dress worn by her bridal competition, Kate Middleton, Jessica has thrown down the gauntlet, declaring, “I’ll outdo her!”

Oh, girl.  There are so many reasons why I worry about Jessica Simpson.  Do you think she’s actually going to go through with this ridiculous wedding (of course she will), or will she wise up before it’s too late?  Another option:  I’m completely wrong about Eric’s character and these two are going to end up together forever with all of the babies she can handle.  Psh, as if.

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?

Sources at In Touch say ‘fuck yes she is.’ Granted, In Touch is only a few baby steps away from having credibility like Star or The Enquirer, but hey. Maybe all of this positive thinking will kick girlfriend’s ass into gear and drop the dead unemployed weight known as Eric Johnson or, at the very least, sign a prenup if she does end up marrying this assclown.

According to close friends of Jess, she’s beginning to see the light and thinks, like a lot of others before her, that Johnson’s been using her for a free ride and a free ride all this time:

… Jessica recently requested a breather from her clingy beau.

“She told him to get lost for a few days,” the friend reveals. “They were spending every waking minute together, and Jessica had finally had enough.”

It was a classic case of too much togetherness, the friend explains.

“Jessica usually likes being with other people, so initially she loved that Eric didn’t have much going on.”

Eric was initially what Jessica needed after being dumped by Tony Romo in 2009. But lately, Jessica has grown tired of unemployed Eric’s constant presence, and she asked him to give her a few days alone so she could focus on something other than him.

“He was getting on her nerves… now she wants time away from Eric every month.”

Jessica is also growing weary of financially supporting the former NFL player, who hasn’t worked since 2008. Jessica recently bough Eric a car, but now she’s decided she’s the one who deserves a hot new set of wheels.

“She traded in her Range Rover for a $120,000 BMW X6M,” the friend says. And Jessica wants to make it clear to Eric that the luxurious car isn’t their family vehicle – it’s for her and her only (like a growing number of things lately).

So wait a second. Jess is just now realizing that being together with someone 24/7 isn’t the best thing for a relationship? After a marriage and a few long-term relationships, this idea is JUST DAWNING ON HER? What, is she eighteen or something? Jeez, Jess, get a clue. And promise me, when you get it, you’ll tell hubby to get a damned job, too. This could be a two-fer here, you guys, and amazing things just might happen.

Good ol’ Jessica Simpson spent her New Year’s Eve afternoon wandering around Aspen with her one true love, Eric Johnson, and this is what she chose to wear.  I’m of the opinion that fur, fake or not, rarely looks anything other than ridiculous, but those leggings?  I would get pregnant, wait nine agonizing months, have the kid, and then give it to someone in exchange for those leggings.  Granted, that’s coming from a girl whose shopping consists of searching Amazon for things like “Jesus unicorn shirt” (got one!) and “rainbow jumper” (making one!), so I’m probably not the best judge of classy clothes.

What do you guys think?  We can also discuss Eric Johnson’s stupid scarf if you’d like.  This is a safe, open environment for you to share your innermost thoughts and feelings.

According to sources close to Jessica Simpson, girlfriend’s in such a frenzy to tie the knot with her boyfriend – the one that I still have not remembered a name, nor do I feel so inclined to Google it right now – before ex-husband Nick Lachey marries Vanessa Minnillo, and she’s willing to rush to fit everything in before Christmas in order to ‘win.’

We’re looking at a dual Christmas wedding here, guys.

According to friends of the blushing bride-to-be:

“She wants to beat Nick to the altar. She knows that it is going to be tough to pull everything together on such short notice, so it might have to be a New Years wedding. In any case, she wants the focus to be on her wedding. She doesn’t want her wedding to be the aftermath of his.”

Not only is Jessica allegedly pulling out all the stops in order to beat Nick and Vanessa to the altar, she’s also looking at dropping quite a considerable sum on the wedding, too, in an effort to upstage her ex’s nuptial plans:

“It will be big and elaborate. She’ll spare no expensive for fear that Nick and Vanessa will outdo her. She’s already starting planning everything and has every family member working on her big day.”

… This sounds like it’s going to end well. And incidentally, if you haven’t heard, Jessica is currently refusing to sign a pre-nup agreement with her boytoy, because it’s just not all that romantic, I guess. (And for all of you caught unaware of her previous marriage and it’s intricacies, she didn’t sign one with Nick Lachey, either, and he took her for 15 million.)

I hope none of this is true, and I really hope that Jess is smarter than most people give her credit for, but I’ll lay it down for you: the pre-nup thing really has me concerned, I’m not gonna lie.

Star claims to have the inside scoop on Jess’s love life and also says that she’s over the moon over her latest boyfriend, the sometimes-football playing Eric Johnson, so much that she bought her own engagement ring and claims that she’ll “take care” of Johnson if that’s what it comes down to.

Uh, girl? Why don’t you go and talk to Britney about this one? She had a pretty similar situation, where she started dated this douchey-sounding guy (lookin’ at you, K-Fug) and bought her own engagement ring ’cause the guy hadn’t really worked for awhile, and a few years later, two kids, a divorce, several mental breakdowns and lots of cheap nylon wigs later, Britney’s, uh, “back.” “Bitches.”

Truth? Lie? Somewhere in between? You decide.
