Today the world celebrates 28 years of being graced with Jessica Simpson's intelligent presence. The pop-turned-country singer celebrated last night in California with Tony, Pete, Ashlee … and Vivica Fox?

Ashlee Simpson's baby bump is growing bigger by the day, which leads me to wonder when she's going to retire the uncomfortable-looking skinny jeans and start sporting some maternity wear. Sure, she and husband Pete Wentz probably have closets full of skinny jeans in every brand and color, but those things are painful when you're sporting a food baby, let alone a real fetus. Or maybe that's just me.

PAPA JOE IS SURE TO BE DISAPPOINTED "Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are expecting a baby boy, a rep from the baby boutique Petit Tresor tells CelebTV.com. The couple, who married in May, filled out a registry for their baby in June and our source says, 'almost everything is blue.'"
Pete Wentz's latest venture, FNMTV, was tainted by Ashlee Simpson and Snoop Dogg in a hilarious sketch where Snoop gives the couple parenting tips. Oh, did we say "hilarious"? We meant "uncomfortable." Or, you know, any other adjective that comes to mind when you think of a root canal.
Ever the media-savvy businessman, Joe Simpson has publicly responded to the same rumors we hear about him every week (he's a creepy control-freak), and his defense isn't helping. "The media says that I try to plan everything," Joe says. "If I had half of the power they give me…" Um, then what? Do we want to know?
He then went on to address reports that he's jealous of the men in his daughters' lives:
[Tony Romo]'s a great guy. I love Tony to death. He’s just a good kid.
I love Pete [Wentz] to death. He has a patient spirit and a kind heart. I’m honored to have Pete as my son-in-law.
Key word, of course, being "death."

• The Sex and the City women have competing Marie Claire covers. We smell yet another catfight. [PS]
• Pete Wentz says he felt "content" once he heard the heartbeat of Ashlee and Joe Simpson's unborn child. [Us]
We already knew Joe Simpson was the main reason behind Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo's breakup, but now more sources are coming forward to reveal exactly how bad things got with Papa Joe. Rumor has it he advised Tony to drop his agent so Joe could take over his NFL career and contract worth almost $70 million. How Tony managed to turn down that offer is beyond us. But it gets better: Joe then informed Tony that if he proposed to Jessica, Joe could "do the same that [he] did with Ashlee." Meaning he could whore out their precious memories.
But media-savvy Papa Joe fired back, releasing a statement that just makes him sound as ridiculous as ever:
It’s unfair to criticize me for what every manager does for his or her clients. And in this business, where people can quickly turn on you, who better than a parent to be working for his children?
Preach it, Joe! Parent managers are definitely the way to go, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just look at Dina Lohan.

DID ANYONE BUY TICKETS IN THE FIRST PLACE? "'After careful consideration, Ashlee Simpson has decided to postpone her summer tour,' the singer's publicist said. … 'She is committed to giving her fans the best show possible, and will be back better than ever and ready to rock in the future.'"
John Mayer's blog always makes an interesting read because the stuff he says is just so off the wall, like his latest post revealing his man crush on Pete Wentz. In his ramblings, John reports that Pete is "one of the best eggs in the music industry," which … is stretching it. But love is blind, so we'll excuse the over-the-top declarations.
The full proclamation, after the jump. CONTINUED »
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz finally — finally — confirmed via blog that they are expecting a child together:
While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.
They went on to announce that the sky is blue, we're living in the year 2008 and two plus two equals four.

So apparently the Jessica Simpson-Tony Romo relationship is really back in action, but only on Romo's terms. According to a friend, for some bizarre reason, Tony thinks Papa Joe is too involved in the relationship. That really came out of nowhere.
He did agree to go to [sister Ashlee's] wedding — keeping his promise to Jessica. But he made it super-clear that if they were to give it another go, her dad had to seriously back off.
So the showmance will continue — but only as a trial run — as long as Joe no longer tells Romo "how to run his life, career and endorsement deals." So, in other words, they're already broken up.
