Jessica Simpson gets cold feet about her wedding to her “annoying” K-Fed

fp_6928483_ang_simpsonjessica_paris_01_08

This one story has made me respect Jessica Simpson. It’s probably not true, as it comes from In Touch Weekly, but I really, really hope there’s a grain of truth in here. According to ITW, Jessica Simpson’s dong-haze has worn off and now she’s looking at Eric Johnson and thinking, “Gee, I wonder if I could do better than this K-Fed mofo.” Apparently, Jess hasn’t set a wedding date, and she changes the subject whenever the wedding is brought up, all because Eric has been annoying the fart out of her.

Jessica Simpson didn’t hesitate before saying “yes” to her boyfriend of barely six months, Eric Johnson, when he proposed in November. But four months later, she still can’t commit to a date.

“I don’t think she’s in any hurry,” her father, Joe, confirms to In Touch. And that could spell big trouble for the couple.

“Whenever her wedding comes up, she changes the subject,” says a friend.

What has caused her to hit the brakes?

“She feels stressed and overworked,” an insider close to Jessica tells In Touch. “She travels almost every week and has a lot of people who depend on her. She is not feeling as excited as she should be about getting married.”

But the more Jessica stalls the wedding, the more needy Eric seems to get. Every time they’re out in public lately, he holds her as close as possible. And while Jessica was once more than happy to lean on Eric, his clinginess is now killing their once-hot romance.

“She used to be so into Eric,” notes the insider. “But they are together all of the time, and it’s starting to annoy her.”

I would love it if Jessica turned to Eric and asked, “Dude, why don’t you have a job?” But she won’t. She’s already put him on her payroll and he travels with her constantly. I’ve begun to think of Eric like I think of Matthew Rutler, Christina Aguilera’s “handler/boyfriend”. Both Eric and Matthew are basically just their ladies’ assistants, go-to sexual partners and designated drivers. I think their main job description is “don’t let the girl get too wasted, and when she does get blitzed, take her home.” Ah, romance.

I like to think that Jessica’s thought process, below, is “Bitch, did I say you could speak?”

    I dunno, I think she is in permenant “dong haze”…lol.

  2. Dirty Martini says:

    I hope its true. As annoying as she is, its hard not to have a tiny speck of sympathy for her……………’cause in lots of ways, she’s just like the rest of us.

    But we dont have DDs.

  3. Quest says:

    I think the best thing to ever happen to Jessica was Nick and she blew that.

    Jessica seems really clingy and niave…don’t know if there is much hope left.

  4. EllenP says:

    Freeloader and Leech, I say.

  5. aenflex says:

    ‘just their ladies’ assistants, go-to sexual partners and designated drivers’.

    – sounds good to me?

  6. bex says:

    How can she or her sister ever have a healthy relationship with any man when their father has basically prostituted them out since they were children?

  7. brin says:

    @Quest…ITA. Ther’s an article on People site about Nick & Vanessa. They are so opposite of Jess, they just seem down to earth & mature. I think they have a really good relationship.

  8. Marjalane says:

    Meh. Stay, go, marry, don’t. It’s Jessica Simpson- who cares?

  9. Sue says:

    The fact that she may be getting cold feet says that maybe she rush in to it trying to one up Nick and didn’t really thinking thing through.

  10. Delta Juliet says:

    They were together 6 months when they got engaged and now he’s annoying her? Who hasn’t had a relationship that seemed great at first and then you got tired of them? It’s happened to me a lot. It’s normal. The solution though, is don’t get engaged to someone you barely know….

  11. guesty says:

    Brin…lol! Imo it would be awesome if she didn’t marry him. Maybe she’d like the Jen Aniston lifestyle better.

  12. Hautie says:

    Well if ITW got a direct quote from Joe … that Jessica was in no hurry to marry… then Eric better start packing up his sh*t.

    Cause the countdown has started. Joe is prepping Jessica to dump him.

    Eric might look slow, but I bet he has had a plan for a long time. And having to deal with her father in their personal life is a deal breaker.

    And until Jessica can learn to say “no” to the mooches, she is not going to find a nice man. She is supporting herself, her parents, that sister, most likely offering financial support to other family members… plus Eric.

    Her father is not going to let anyone marry her, that would put a stop to it.

    And I bet Eric would be the guy to move Jessica away from financially supporting a dozen family members if he has enough time. And charm.

  13. FatJenny FromThe Block says:

    You would think she learned lessons from a first failed marriage….like don’t rush into a marriage. I believe her father is the catalyst of her success/empire, because clearly she’s not that bright.

  14. TG says:

    Kaiser you are on today. This story was too funny and @Hautie – I didn’t think it could get any funnier and now I am laughing my head off. You are so right though about her disgusting father. Hope Eric gets your memo about needing to pack up his stuff. God I am laughing too much. But, it is sad that they are probably all leeching off of her. How disgusting.

  15. Betsy says:

    “…Eric has been annoying the fart out of her.” Hahahaha!

    Well, girlfriend does love to fart.

  16. samihami says:

    I think it’s foolish for anyone to get engaged to-much less marry-someone they’ve known for such a short time. It takes time to really get to know someone and decide if you are going to be compatible in the long run. I would think at least a year, or even two would make sense. (Nevermind that my parents, who just celebrated their 50th dated for 2 weeks, or that my brother who just celebrated his 25th met and married his wife in five months-they are obviously exceptions!).

  17. TeeTee says:

    if this is true, good for her…but I doubt it, she seems to NEED a man around her 24/7..

    her father irks the heck out of me.

  18. whitedaisy says:

    Not that you can tell by looking in from the outside, but Nick seemed to be the right man. He loved her, there was no gold-digging, (he had all the money then), and he looked out for her in a loving, protective manner.
    Joe Simpson is a pox on his daughters. Dysfunction will rule their relationships unless they get some insight from therapy.

  19. Minx2 says:

    “dong haze”.. ROTFLMAO.. she’s in a permanent dong haze, I agree!

  20. Dolly Llama says:

    Aww. I hope she figures it out. She’s looking great. She looks really pretty in these pics.

  21. Lisa Turtle says:

    Jessica is working out again which means endorphines which means she is probably feeling more confident, than she felt when she quickly got serious with Eric (Nick got engaged, Tony Romo got engaged, John Mayer said nasty things… She had a rough patch)

    She’s realizing she doesn’t need to “settle” for less than she deserves.

    Plus, her sister is getting divorced, which I’m sure brings up her memories of her divorce. And probably gives her a bit of commitment-phobia.

  22. mimi says:

    Yech, that fool is not hot enough to give anyone ‘dong haze’!
    Lol though, imma spread that phrase like wildfire!

  23. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    She’s just waiting to hear what Nick’s plans are so that she can out do HIS wedding, that is why she is annoyed. Nick isnt talking about it!

  24. Harley says:

    Hautie – ITA. Joe is just way too controlling of both his girls. They need to break free at some point. And, like most dong hazes (LMAO – Great term!), they fade after time, and if there’s nothing else there, well…

    She doesn’t bother me, and for her sake, I hope she snaps out of it. Plus, the first couple of shots above are the best she’s looked in a while.

  25. Your mama says:

    Dong haze = Classic!!!

    I really hope the best for her. She looks prettier in these pics (where she does look annoyed w/ him). She can do whatever she wants. If she has doubts now… Just imagine being married to him yrs from now…?

  26. Kaiser says:

    So happy that “dong haze” is so popular! Will use it again.

    Not so sure Jess is really in a dong haze though. More like a donut haze.

  27. hstl1 says:

    F the drama with Eric. Where is Ken Paves when you need him? Her weave is totally jacked. Dump Eric, reconcile with Ken.

  28. Aurelia says:

    I reckon jess just wanted a baby daddy. She hasn’t gotten up the duff and now its time to let it go. She will need to offer k-fed a financial settlement to get lost.

  29. Canuck says:

    I don’t think she ever had any intention of getting married to the guy. Total save-face PR ploy once her ex announced his engagement, she then went out and bought herself an engagement ring (that I suspect might be one of those cheap glass-filled rubies, not a high end stone) and now gets to be the one who dumps the guy, instead of being perceived as the ex-wife who can’t hold a man.

  30. Isa says:

    I have had my moments of doubt, but I really feel like they will not get married.

    If that blind item is about them then I really hope that they don’t.

    Having a long engagement after a short dating period seems like a smart decision to me. Sometimes you just know, but I am not sure about Jessica’s judgement. Especially since I don’t know her 😉

  31. KsGirl says:

    Don’t marry him, Jess!

    We need to find her a suitable husband. I am thinking a Brit for some reason. Some C-List Brit who does TV (over there).

  32. Anon73 says:

    i hope this IS true. oh Jess PLEASE get rid of that KFed copy BEFORE you marry him girl!!

  33. TQB says:

    @Hstl1, Yes!! Bring back Ken!

    It’s important we reserve the “K-Fed” moniker for dudes like Eric. It’s been applied to Natalie’s millionfeets guy and it’s misplaced. That dude is WORKING IT for all he’s got right now. Eric is… the driver.

  34. Caz says:

    Hee hee you’re all right. There’s just something so unattractive about needy dependent people. Yep I think this fake engagement is a PR ploy too. She must still be wild that Nick and Vanessa are happy together. It freaks me out that Jess doesn’t have a strong female mentor to help her with her issues…maybe she really isn’t that intelligent. Either way she should so not marry this loser. Being married to her would really be hard work…who’d want to take that on? Would the money be worth it?

  35. Kim says:

    This only means she is seeing his true colors – he is using her and is a leach. Get a job Eric! Good for her. Hopefully she will see it before she ever marries him and bails sooner vs later.

  36. Henriette says:

    She looks very pretty in those photos with more natural hair and makeup than when she tries to look “fancy.”

  37. Ariana says:

    He’s clingy because he doesn’t want his gravy train to slip away. She’s losing respect for him which is the death of any relationship. How long can you respect a guy who doesn’t have a job or make any financial contribution to a relationship? It is doomed to fail.

  38. bluhare says:

    samihami: I married Mr. Hare after dating him for four months. That was 20 years ago. Oh yes, he doesn’t work outside the home either and we don’t have kids! I get crap all the time about why he doesn’t get a job, and it gets to me. If the situtation were reversed, and I stayed home no one would say a thing. But because he’s a man, people think they can opine about it all day long.

  39. Hakura says:

    I really hope Jess figures out what *she* wants to do before being pressured into a marriage.

    I always felt like jumping into the engagement was brought about wanting to ‘one up’ Nick. (Like… “See?! I’m HAPPY TOO!“) It’d be nice to think she has a brain under all that blonde fluff.

  40. slim27 says:

    @bluhare…..well good for you. Its nice to know hubby and you are doing good with that arrangement. And i do believe time has nothing to do with anything, people have dated 10yrs, 12yrs and still eventually divorce after getting married. Still i do not think i could respect my man if he was not financially independent.

  41. Niner Fan says:

    Dude, Eric Johnson is a Yale graduate who made around $7 million in the NFL. He was an Academic All-American in college. His interest in business and finance was well known during his NFL career. In fact, he rejected his acceptance to Wharton (an elite business school) for his MBA to stay closer to Jess.

    You can expect he lost a few million in the divorce, but regardless the guy’s earned enough that he never has to work again. I suspect that he’s far, far more business savvy than she is.
