Jessica Simpson: Pregnancy in Crisis?

After confirming she is pregnant just before Halloween, Jessica Simpson has been on cloud nine. After years of romantic woes, a lifelong dream is coming true. But is it all on the verge of crashing down? As Jessica grows bigger with every day, so do emotional and medical crises that are ruining what should be an ecstatic time, according to a report in OK! We know, we know. They claim the strife over her now-delayed wedding to Eric Johnson, and medical problems, are threatening her health and her child. Not every day to you see a tabloid make up a miscarriage threat . “She’s said it’s been a difficult pregnancy, she’s been dizzy and nauseous,” a pal says. Adds another insider: “She was unprepared for how hard it would be on her body.” We’re sure she’s fine, physically. As far as her supposed betrayal by Eric Johnson , that’s another story. Their relationship was fast track, and their pregnancy likely unplanned. Their wedding date had to be scuttled, and now there’s reportedly tension over a prenup. Are they still happy? Will they tie the knot next year? We hope so, but time will tell.

Drew Ryniewicz Makes Like Demi Lovato

Note to L.A. Reid: the song “Skyscraper” was written and originally performed by Demi Lovato . She’s 19 years old. What would you like Drew Ryniewicz to cover, a track from Sesame Street ? Following this 15-year old’s emotional performance last night, Reid contrived an argument with Simon Cowell by somehow claiming he continues to select singles for his pupil that are not age-appropriate. Why are you doing songs for old people? he asked in one of the more insane assessments of the season. Simon responded that his fellow panelist was coming up with “stupid, pointless criticism” and he’s right, but there’s also little doubt he encouraged this outburst beforehand. Can the judges please stop making this show about them? Take it away, Drew… Drew Ryniewicz – Skyscraper

Rush Limbaugh Defends NASCAR Fans’ Booing of Michelle Obama, Calls First Lady "Uppity"

Rush Limbaugh does not like Barack and Michelle Obama, particularly their desire to lower carbon emissions and the First Lady’s crusade against obesity (that hits too close to home, clearly, for the radio pundit). Which is fine, he’s entitled to an opinion. Sometimes his points are clouded by obvious hatred and racism, however. After Sunday’s NASCAR race at which Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were booed , Limbaugh defended the fans who did so, while calling the First Lady “uppity” … Rush Limbaugh Bashes Michelle Obama Rush’s argument was, by and large, legitimate and directed at media figures outraged and confused by the booing: It’s not a crowd predisposed to like Obama anyway, he’s at 44% approval, and people go to sporting events to escape politics. Fair enough. But then he went overboard bashing the First Lady, who he terms “Moo-Chelle” and tears a new one for (gasp) using a private jet: “I’ll tell you something else,” he said. “We don’t like paying millions for Obama’s vacations. A NASCAR crowd doesn’t quite understand why, when the husband and the wife are going the same place, the first lady has to take her own Boeing 757 with family and kids and hangers-on four hours earlier than her husband, who will be on his 747.” “NASCAR people understand that’s a little bit of a waste. They understand it is a little bit of uppity-ism. First ladies have not been known to hop their own 757s four hours ahead of their husband when they’re going the same place.” The L.A. Times defines “uppity” as self-important or arrogant, historically to describe “blacks whom white people perceived as trying to rise above their station in life.” Just saying. Not the greatest word choice. Is Rush Limbaugh racist? Booing Michelle Obama :

Pregnant Jessica Simpson Already Planning Post-Baby Weight Loss Endorsement Deal?

Since news broke that Eric Johnson got Jessica Simpson pregnant long before she went and confirmed it, she lost out on the whole tabloid exclusive deal. But, since the pressure’s on celebs to shed the baby weight they inevitably gain as soon as possible, she may have a backup plan up her sleeve to cash in. If Us Weekly is to be believed, then Jessica is already planning for just that, and is in talks with Weight Watchers to be their newest celebr pound-shedder. Once baby makes three, Jess will make four. Million. All she has to do is lose “a significant amount of weight” on the points-based plan, and shill for it. While it would be a bit surprising, even in this day and age, for a star known for promoting body acceptance to be in negotiations to make her pregnant body the new face of weight loss, her camp is already shooting down the rumor. So false! And order is once again restored to the universe. “There is no Weight Watchers deal,” a source told E! News , claiming that Simpson planned to sign on with the company to lose the weight she’d gained over the past few years, “But then she got pregnant” and there is currently no plan to do so. Funny, the same has been said of her wedding to Eric. [Photo: WENN.com]

Michelle Obama, Jill Biden Booed by NASCAR Fans

First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of the Vice President, served as grand marshals yesterday prior to a NASCAR race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. They were on hand to promote the military family-based project Joining Forces, starting the race along with a wounded veteran named Andrew Berry and his family. And the famous wives were audibly booked upon being introduced to the crowd. Hear for yourself: Michelle Obama Booed by NASCAR Fans The sports governing body downplayed the response via a statement by Marcus Jadotte, NASCAR vice president of public affairs. It reads: “The NASCAR community and the vast majority of those attending our race Sunday welcomed the first lady and Dr. Jill Biden and the military families in attendance. We are proud to support military families across the country and proud to support the Joining Forces initiative.” But, come on, we have ears. We can hear the negative reaction of many in attendance. Which leads us to ask: Booing the First Lady during a non-political appearance? Right or wrong?
