It’s pretty obvious that a famous person’s celebrity has far outweighed their talent when all their buzz is about a potential wedding and/or pregnancy. Okay, that was mean of me to say, for Jessica Simpson also carries around very large purses too, which should count for … something. Anyway, Jessica is still playing the wedding game, and the rumors have carried on since at least May when we heard that she was splashing out over a million dollars on Hawaiian nuptuals on November 11. Then, Jessica told us that we were all full of crap because the date was wrong, and the stories continued with no visible progress towards actual matrimony. First, Jessica was postponing the wedding because of weight gain and then for a boob reduction. Shortly thereafter, Jessica started looking pregnant, and In Touch added its ten cents while Jessica allegedly freaked out while taking ten pregnancy tests and Life & Style added that she was definitely knocked up and eating for two.

As time wears on, one wonders exactly why she hasn’t married Eric Johnson yet when she previously seemed so excited to do so for at least a year. Now, the Enquirer sticks with the pregnancy story but adds a new angle; that is, that Jessica realizes her relationship is doomed but has resolved to carry on as a single mother. This account comes from a “family insider” — could it possibly be Papa Joe who leaked this story?

Jessica Simpson’s joy has turned to heartbreak with the ditzy blond’s relationship with fiance Eric Johnson falling apart — and their wedding is off.

Her nearly year-long engagement to the handsome former NFL player had already run into trouble when the beauty began telling pals in mid-September that she could be pregnant with her first child. Now the couple are so overwhelmed that they’ve postponed their Nov. 11 wedding indefinitely — and friends say the relationship is doomed.

“This should be the happiest, most joyous time of Jessica’s life, but instead she’s miserable,” confided a family insider. “She and Eric are just not happy together, and they’ve agreed to put off their wedding.”

“Eric’s feeling like an outcast with Jessica, and her family fears he’s using her as a meal ticket. Jessica’s parents, Tina and Joe, are worried she’ll end up like her younger sister Ashlee — a single mom raising a child in a broken home.”

Sadly, the sexy performer, 31, is already experiencing mood swings and lashing out at 32-year-old Eric, said a close source. “Jessica cries at the drop of a hat, and when he tries to soothe her, she pushes him away and says she doesn’t want to be touched.”

Although the two have been all smiles at recent promotional appearances for Jessica’s new ready-to-wear clothing line, the source confirmed: “They’ve been putting on a brave face in public, but the relationship is falling apart.”

Well, I hope that Jessica isn’t pregnant at all, for she doesn’t strike me as the type to embrace motherhood for more than the cute clothes and booties. If she is pregnant, then it would truly suck for her to have to raise this child on her own. Of course, she’s got the money to hire people to do it for her. With that said, I think there’s something to the fact that Jessica and Eric have apparently postponed their wedding date. Cold feet often happen for very good reason.
