Jessica Simpson reveals the sex of her baby! “She.”

On hopes for her daughter’s sense of style:
“Ah swear, ah will croak if she asks me for a pair of Nikes instead of Christian Louboutins!” she blurts out, her Dallas accent swooping back in this moment of heightened anxiety. “Eric is so athletic. We’re gonna have this ath-a-letic girl and I won’t even be able to take her shopping.”

On taking tabloid brutality in stride:
“I’m still standin’,” she drawls. “I grew up very strong! You know, my father used to be an adolescent therapist. I remember sitting at his office, watching the girls walkin’ in and out. Kids doin’ coke at 16…heroin. Pregnant at 14. I could see what I didn’t want to be.”

Jessica Simpson is on the December 2011 cover of Lucky Magazine. Check out some high lights from the expecting mother below:

On her feelings toward her recent weight gain: “Everybody fluctuates, but I’m open about my weight and I’m still confident. I didn’t cry about it too much.”

On how her altered figure has affected her brand: “I got so much scrutiny for putting on extra pounds, but I think that the decision not to make myself anorexic was actually great for branding. Because when you’re really, really skinny, not everybody can relate to you.

Nicole Richie Joins NBC's Fashion Star

Nicole Richie will join Jessica Simpson in the role of mentors on the upcoming NBC reality competition Fashion Star.

"Jessica, Nicole, John and Elle make the most exciting team we have ever worked with on a reality television show and we are thrilled to feature such an extraordinary group of mentors and designers," said Ben Silverman, executive producer of Fashion Star and CEO of Electus, one of the show's production companies.

Hosted by former supermodel Elle Macpherson and produced by former Project Runway producers Jane Lipsitz and Dan Cutforth, Fashion Star will feature 14 unknown designers competing in a series of weekly fashion and business challenges that will end with one of them being crowned the next "Fashion Star" and winning a multi-million dollar contract to launch their own line in three of America's largest retail stores.

Unlike Project Runway, which focuses on high-end women's fashion, Fashion Star will target a variety of casual fashion including dresses, suits, lingerie, denim, bathing suits, shoes, and accessories. Home viewers will also have the ability to purchase each week's winning designs both online and in stores the day after each episode airs.

Famous designers and buyers from American retailers will serve as judges for the competition, which will also provide the contestants with fashion industry experts to guide and mentor them.

Jessica Simpson Joins NBC's Fashion Star

Jessica Simpson is taking on the role of mentor to aspiring designers for a new NBC reality series.

The network said Monday that Simpson will help guide contestants in the series "Fashion Star" as they compete for a multimillion-dollar contract to launch their own brand.

Elle McPherson will host the show, which NBC promises to be a "true spectacle" taped in front of a studio audience and featuring music, dancers and models along with weekly challenges for the contestants.

Simpson, 30, ("The Dukes of Hazzard," TV's "The Price of Beauty") is a fashion mogul as well as entertainer, with a line that carries her name and includes 22 product categories.

"NBC is delighted to work with singer, designer, actress and pop culture icon Jessica Simpson," said Paul Telegdy, NBC and Universal Media Studios executive vice president. "With an almost billion-dollar lifestyle brand under her belt she is sure to be an excellent mentor to our up-and-coming designers."

The contestant who best combines fashion and business gets a contract to launch a line with three major retailers, which are yet to be announced. Buyers from each chain will serve as judges, keeping contestants in the competition by buying their designs.

Viewers won't have to wait to shop for what they see: Each week's winning design in categories ranging from suits to lingerie to accessories will be available for immediate online purchase.

Producers of "Fashion Star" include former NBC executive Ben Silverman, and Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz of Magical Elves, original producers of "Project Runway."

"Project Runway," hosted by Heidi Klum, was a hit for NBC Universal's Bravo channel before a legal clash ended with the series moving to Lifetime.

The debut date for "Fashion Star" was not announced.

Jessica Simpson Confirms 'X Factor' Talks

Jessica Simpson has confirmed Internet reports that she has been approached for a judging position on Simon Cowell’s upcoming Fox singing competition show The X Factor.

“They have definitely talked to me about X Factor,” she tells Women’s Wear Daily. “I think it would be a lot of fun. It’s definitely my life. To be a mentor for up-and-coming artists is right up my alley. I would have loved to have a mentor. I love watching people’s dreams come true.”

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Cowell has snapped up L.A. Reid, former chairman of Island Def Jam, as his first judge. “Even though a lot of people won't know who he is, he is actually a fascinating guy and I think a lot of people will like the fact that they're discovering him on the show,” Cowell recently told the Huffington Post of Reid.

As for casting the other judges – former American Idol judge Paula Abdul and George Michael have all been rumored additions — Cowell said it’s been “an interesting process.”

At the end of the day, Cowell told HP, “you trust your gut feeling to put together a panel that's going to work, and the most important thing is, people will decide, once they watch the show, whether we've made the right decision or the wrong decision.”

The other judges are expected to be announced within the next few weeks. The X Factor debuts on Fox in September.

Jessica Simpson Wants to Work with Katy Perry

Jessica Simpson is planning to get her music career back on track — and she’s convinced that pop tart Katy Perry is just the woman to help her do it.

The actress/singer abandoned her pop career in 2008 for greener pastures in the country music market. After a flopped album and a series of chitlin’ circuit performances at state fairs across the US, Jessica is eager reinvent herself.

She’d love to work with the Grammy-nominated Perry on her forthcoming new album.

“Jessica is busy working on new songs and a new direction and has a number of names she would love to collaborate with and Katy is at the top. She’s hoping she might be able to work with her in some way and maybe even perform with her.”

Katy Perry’s summer anthem “California Gurls,” featuring Snoop Dogg, is No. 1 on the U.S. record chart for a fifth week, Billboard.com said Thursday.

Jessica Simpson Launches Third Fragrance

Jessica Simpson launches the third fragrance in her perfume line -- and ET has a sneak peek at the video.

Following up Fancy and Fancy Love, Jessica will be introducing Fancy Nights, which will be in stores by July 1.

"The inspiration for Fancy Nights was one of my favorite movies of all-time, 'Great Expectations,'" she says. "It is just one of those movies that has you wanting to feel love … and then you finally find it and it embraces you. I thought that the next fragrance should do that."

"Fancy Nights is all about expecting to fall in love with the aura that you are giving off … that seductive beautiful romantic side of you," Jessica says. "You can't ever let it go … kind of like love."

The singer-and-actress is releasing her third scent, entitled Fancy Nights, and says it is the perfect perfume to wear on an evening out.

She said: “It is a deeper, richer scent – more provocative.”

Jessica Simpson Working on New Album

And by the looks of it, it's not going to be Country. According to some tweets sent out by music producer Tony DeNiro, he has been in the studio recording songs for Jessica Simpson's upcoming album. For those who might not know, DeNiro produces Hip-Hop, R&B, and Pop. He has worked before with Usher, Brandy, Missy Elliott and Ashlee Simpson. Here are some of the tweets:

"Whoa!!! U guys aren't gonna believe how hot the song is I did with @JessicaSimpson last nt... I'm still in awe with her gift!"

"Another session with @JessicaSimpson last nt...2 hits & a 3rd on the way! U guys r gonna Love her music!!!"

BUT, is anybody really looking forward to this? I feel like Jessica's music career is dead and gone. I do have high hopes for her though, hope she does well.
