'10
Soon after Jessica Simpson announced her engagement (on the heels of Nick Lachey’s announcement), Todd at IDLITW had an interesting scoop – his source claimed that Eric and Jessica had gotten engaged on November 11th at 11:11. Many of you were all “that’s so dumb” and “I don’t believe you, Stupid Bitch.” But I thought there was something to it – and Jessica just confirmed the 11/11 connection in an interview the other day, telling a radio interviewer: “We were at my house and he wanted to do it at 11:11 a.m. on 11/11 because 11 is very significant to us.” Now The Enquirer has an interesting theory as to how this “11” fetish might play into the wedding date:
Jessica Simpson will start 2011 as a new bride! Jess will marry fiance Eric Johnson at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Day (1/1/11) – bowing to their shared dedication to numerology.
The couple got engaged at 11 pm on November 11 after a numerologist informed Jessica that the number “11” will be important in her future. Jessica is already knee-deep in wedding planning, a friend told the Enquirer. The ceremony and reception will be a small intimate affair at her parents’ California home. And the couple have already agreed they’ll immediately try for a baby.
“It’s been a whirlwind, but the holidays are Jessica’s favorite time of year,” said the friend. “Jessica can’t wait to be a New Year’s bride.”

I totally think this could happen. I’ve been thinking for ever since they got engaged that Jessica would find a way to rush down the aisle. Lainey theorized that Jessica would wait until Nick Lachey announced his wedding date – but I think Jessica will want to be “the first” down the aisle, before Nick. Plus, Nick and Vanessa seem to be doing an old-fashioned long engagement, and the whole 1/1/11 thing is too good to pass up. I mean, who really thinks Jessica would wait until 11/11/11? Not me.

Poor Jessica.

Actually, in numerology (if I’m not mistaken) 1/1/11 adds up to 4; 4 doesn’t signify the beginning or completion of anything. Unless we’re talking the completion of the beginning or the beginning of the middle. (I know, I know, but I’m sleep deprived and still sick. Please don’t judge.) Really, sometimes I wonder about this chick.
Yes, she totally wants to be “Firsties!” down the aisle! Girlfriend is at a full-bar run (typo, and it stays).

Maybe they just want an anniversary date neither of them will forget.

Nick & Vanessa can have a long engagement since they are mature enough to wait. Jessica probably has high heeled sneakers so she can run down the aisle.

The numerology story was concocted by the Simpsons as damage control to try to change the public’s perception that Jessica’s engagement was a pathetic attempt to one up her ex husband. I’m not buying it.
I will buy that Joe had already hired Eric Johnson to pose as Jessica’s fiance for a pr stunt to promote her album before news of Nick’s engagement hit, but just hadn’t unveiled him yet.
Maybe they were going to unveil him during the Macy’s parade. The contract stated that Eric was to ride the float and “propose” while reminding the parade goers to purchase “Happy Christmas”…on sale now, everytime her Macy’s float stopped for her to lip sync.
It’s either that or a pathetic attempt to one up her ex. It has nothing to do with the number eleven.

I like the grey sweater dress and the fuzzy pink coat. She looks great when she’s not stuffed into her clothes.
A little less orange and she’d be fabulous!
I love it- she’s all into numerology now and the number 11- and the magic date happens to be coming up in one month!
She seems sooboooo sweet, but soooooo dumb.

hope they do get married in january so she’ll step off for at least a little while & just give it a rest.

Ummmm, you know, I don’t care when or if she gets married. The more she is shoved in my face, the more I grow to dislike her.

…And she will announce her pregnancy on 1/2/11. I’m willing to bet on it…

“Our wedding is much louder – ’cause it goes up to 11…”

1/1/11 = wedding
11/11/11 = divorce
She’s so pregnant she’s practically crowning. Since “11″ is so numerologically important (the numerologist would know that 11 = 1+1 = 2), I can just picture everyone at the wedding wearing those giant #1 fingers on both hands. They’d be Cowboys hands b/c Papa Joe would make sure Eric knows he’s not the first pick.

Judging by the way she’s licking her chops in that first pic I’m guessing the Gingerbread Man in the last one is history.

@ Nudgie & dread private cuervo – Too funny! X^D
I question this story, cos let’s just say Simps just doesn’t strike me as someone who does well with numbers (unless it’s a 5th of something; gin, whiskey, etc).
BUT, if married on 1/1/2011, the date would equal 6, and on 11/11/2011, it would be 8 (add all of the numbers). Both “good” numbers, according to my psycho friend who researched this kinda stuff (and astrology, and a psychic!) for potential wedding dates.
And I said in a previous “link” post she would “go down” on 11/11/11, depending upon her ex’s date…or just because it’s “cute” on invitations. Nothing much deeper.

The only thing I got from this story was the reminder my 1 year wedding anniversary is on 1/1/11
Jessica annoys me terribly. So vapid.

My best friend’s going to be in a wedding on 11/11/11… so I can’t have mine that day. I’d wanted to for years and years, though. So I kind of do understand the significance with “11″… it isn’t “stupid” if it means something to the couple involved.

I tend to think she was planning on 11/11/11 for the wedding date. But too many smart people’s speculations have gotten back to her by now and she probably wants to do this sooner rather than later and is thinking “hey 1/1/11 is the same thing, sooner and therefore more better!”
@Dread Pirate Cuervo, I was thinking more ….
1/1/11=wedding
11/11/11=birth of first child (the timing couldn’t be any more perfect (doesn’t it take 10 months in all?)

It really just bugs the heck out of me when people talk about Jessica being fat. The girl is not FAT! She looks like a healthy young woman,many of us would absolutely kill to be her size, so it’s really ridiculous to call her fat. If you think she’s an airhead , she might be. But fat she is not!
