Apparently the potential candidates are Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, and Jessica Simpson.  I’m not sure if any of those people sound particularly exciting, but then again I didn’t think Jennifer Lopez would be anything special on American Idol, and she’s turned out to be a pretty good judge, if not a little boring.  Maybe Jessica could bring a little of the ditziness we loved when she was on TV a few years ago.  That was pretty entertaining.

Jessica’s ring is worth an estimated $100,000, prompting many to speculate whether she actually bought it herself.  In addition, even though Jessica and Eric have only been dating for a few months, she’s agreed to marry him without a prenup, and considering that she’s worth more than $100 million, that’s a lot of money that Eric will be getting his hands on soon.  Things that make you go hmmmm.

If the timing of this engagement seems a little bit suspicious, go ahead and place your bets now – Jessica was recently caught in a difficult position when she refused to say whether or not she thought Johnson was “the one” for her, but that he was definitely Mr. Right Now.

However, it’s certainly no worse than having Faith Hill do the job, which is exactly what happened last year. Simpson at least has some sort of style credentials, as she has her own clothing line, but I’m not sure how much she actually has to do with designing the clothing, other than putting her name on the label. It’ll be interesting to see just what sort of things she has to say about this year’s Project Runway collections.

Jessica Simpson on 'Oprah'

“Sexually it was crazy… It was like napalm, sexual napalm,” John Mayer told Playboy of his relationship with Jessica Simpson.  Mayer also compared Simpson to “a drug… like crack cocaine.”

Appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Jessica Simpson said she is “disappointed” in ex-boyfriend John Mayer for dishing about their sex life. “I don’t want people to know how I am in bed,” Simpson tells Oprah.

In the interview, scheduled to air on Wednesday, Simpson also speaks with Oprah about the public response to her weight gain last year. “I love my curves,” Simpson says. “I’m not going to ever be size 0, and I don’t want to weigh 90 pounds.”

Honestly though, after being called “sexual napalm” in bed by John Mayer, we’re doubting Jessica Simpson is going to have any trouble keeping the guys out there drooling over her, no matter how ‘curvy’ she is.

And he did it with such EXQUISITE timing! The day before her “Barbie and Ken” themed 29th birthday!! Way to get out of the gift dilemma AND the certain awkward pics, Tony. It’s hard to find those yee-haw milkmaid dresses that J. Simp seems to be enamored of, and, well…it looks like jewelry was out of the question.

Jessica, of course, is heartbroken. She and Romo have been dating since 2007, and her “concert” shoutouts to her Cowboy are legendary loads of Too Much Information. A snitch friend tells People that:

“She is heartbroken. She loves Tony. But it’s been difficult lately. He’s busy with his career and she’s getting ready to shoot her show. They decided to part ways.”

Papa Joe Simpson is officially getting the blame for the bust-up for his notorious meddling ways. Dallas Cowboy fans everywhere are PUMPED.

Country Music Tattle Tale dished yesterday that:

If you remember – back in December – we told you that rumors were flying that Joe Galante, the head of Sony BMG Nashville was furious with all of her antics. They were threatening to drop her from the label.
Could these rumors finally becoming true after her shaking tour with Rascal Flatts?
Our reader noticed the following:
Today, her name appears nowhere among the artists listed on the web sites of Columbia Nashville or Sony Music Nashville. Even a search of each site finds that any prior mention of her photos, profile, press releases – has apparently been purged.

PURGED. You don’t get more gone than that. Galante apparently had enough of too much onstage yammering about Tony Romo, too much boobage and appearances in bingo halls, too many God-awful He-Haw outfits, and too much Papa Joe Simpson “managing” the trainwreck. Besides, there was no way Nashville would ever take that shizz seriously. I smell a reality show coming!

Stop the pain! Jessica Simpson’s having a run of bad performances…some because she insists upon YAMMERING about her Cowboy Tony Romo. Actually, Jess does this every time. But something else she’s been doing a LOT of, is screwing up onstage.

Last night, Chesty was in Grand Rapids, MI., and Tony missed his flight. So…bipolar meltdown. In between blurbs like “I’m so excited, I get to see my boyfriend tomorrow” and “He’s the person who makes me relax”, she shocked fans with several onstage bloopers, then eventually walked off in tears. Chest was opening for Rascal Flatts, and gave about 40 minutes full of embarrassing crapola.

She kept screwing with her in-ear monitors throughout the show, lost her place in several songs, and totally FORGOT the lyrics to her song “Come on Over“.

There’s more. (I told you it was a bad night.) Jessica stopped during the intro to “Pray Out Loud“, asked her band start over, before mouthing the word “sorry” to the crowd. She told the massive 8000-person audience: “My voice is weak tonight.” In a bizarre introduction to her last song of the set, “Do You Know“, Jess said she wished she could “walk off the stage”.

At the merciful end of the show, she did walk offstage in tears, after thanking her band for “having her back.” One concert-goer told the Grand Rapids Press, “I felt bad for her tonight. It was uncomfortable to watch.”

It’s obvious that Chesty wants to be at home, barefoot and preggers. Married to Tony, of course. She is NOT above throwing hail-marys if she has to, and Snarkista thinks her crappy shows are all a part of her devious plan! You are so sneaky, Chesty.

Let’s see if these high-waisted denim-diapers look any better from the back.

No they do not. A more stumpifying garment has yet to be created. And those suckers are chafing you so bad, you’re gonna be crying in the powder room, if you know what I mean.

Jessica, we ALL know you’re trying your damnedest to set the hook into Tony Romo’s football fortune, because you yammer about it onstage constantly. This is between yammering sessions to the press with TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

You’re probably DYING to be a mom and have a lil’ Tony. But please don’t confuse mom-jeans with motherhood, honey, or you’ll NEVER get there.
