UPDATED!
[BlindGossip] This female star has certainly had her ups and downs. Her career has gone up and down and has expanded over more than one creative medium. She has dated at least three or four famous guys, has been married to and divorced from another celebrity, and is a tabloid staple. Depending on who you talk to and which day it is, she is either gorgeous or ugly. Well, we know one thing for sure: she is pregnant! She is seven weeks along, and you should expect the announcement within the next couple of weeks. She could wait longer, but she wants to avoid the criticisms about her fluctuating weight. She thinks it will be good for people to know that she “has a baby on board, rather than a burrito on board.” Both she and her partner are very happy about the pregnancy. Oh, and they will be getting married, although the wedding will now happen after the baby is born.
SOLVED!
It’s Jessica Simpson! Source: BG
We told you that the announcement would come within two weeks! Don’t you feel smart that you knew about this before everyone else?
Blinders were evenly split between Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston, so half of you got it right! Libby480 was first, and Miss Chernobyl 2011 did a good job dissecting the clues:
At first I thought Aniston but the clues fit Jessica Simpson 100%
-”career ups and downs”…went from cover of Rolling Stone to getting booed at her “country music” concerts to being lauded for her successful fashion line
-”career expanded over more than one medium”…music (two genres!), tv, movies, reality show, fashion designer
-”dated atleast 3 or 4 famous guys”…John Mayer, Bam Margera, Dane Cook, Tony Romo, and Billy Corgan
-”depending on who you talk to and which day it is, she’s either gorgeous or ugly”, “wants to avoid criticisms about her fluctuating weight”….she’s ALWAYS being criticized about her weight. One day it’s “Jessica is looking svelte” and the next time you read about her, she’s being called a fat pig.
-”oh and they will be getting married…” Well the tabloids haven’t mentioned her engagement and upcoming wedding to Eric Johnson for some time so even I was wondering if they were still getting married. I guess they are!
Add in her marriage to Nick Lachey, her mysteriously delayed wedding to Eric Johnson, and the photo of a pregnant woman in jeans (a nod to her infamous Daisy Dukes and Mom jeans photos), and you’ve got a winner!
Here’s the announcement from InTouchWeekly:
The Is She? or Isn’t She? speculation is over. In Touch Weekly can exclusively confirm Jessica Simpson is pregnant!
The 31-year-old singer recently attended the 32nd birthday party of her fiancé, Eric Johnson, where she sent back her glass of champagne for a birthday toast. As it turns out, the pair has something even better to celebrate. A source close to Jessica and Eric tells In Touch the couple is expecting their first child.
“She’s already having kooky cravings!” a friend shares, especially nacho chips dipped in chocolate — “which satisfy her urge for salty and sweet” — cheese-flavored popcorn and non-alcoholic margaritas.
Now, despite the fact that there will be one more “guest” (and that “Jessica might have to take out her dress a bit”), their plans to marry in November haven’t changed.
While it’s true that not everyone would consider the timing ideal, the friend says the couple considers the baby to be “the best wedding gift ever.” Luckily, she’s not due ’til spring, leaving them just enough time to be newlyweds before new parents.
UPDATE!
Jessica Simpson has officially announced her pregnancy! She wanted to do it earlier, but Papa Joe just couldn’t cut a deal for her to get paid for the announcement. Jessica chose to break the news on Halloween, accompanied by the headline “It’s True! I am going to be a Mummy!” and the photo of her in a mummy costume holding her belly. Cute.
We we told at the time of the original blind that she was seven weeks along, so, according to our calculations, she is a little more than 12 weeks pregnant as of the official announcement, which puts her just inside her second trimester.
From Reuters:
(Reuters) – Singer, actress and fashion mogul Jessica Simpson has finally put baby rumors to rest by confirming Monday that she is pregnant with her first child, in a statement posted on her official website.
“It’s True! I am going to be a mummy!” the singer wrote, alongside a photo of her dressed in a mummy costume for Halloween.
Simpson, 31, is currently engaged to former professional football player Eric Johnson, 32, whom she has been dating since May 2010. This will be the first child for the couple.
Simpson first rose to fame at age 19 with her debut album “Sweet Kisses” in 1999. She married singer Nick Lachey, of boy band 98 Degrees, in 2002 and the couple were the stars of MTV reality series, “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.” Simpson and Lachey divorced in 2006.
The “Dukes of Hazzard” actress has had a number of high-profile relationships including U.S. football player Tony Romo and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan.
Simpson launched her “Jessica Simpson Collection” of clothing, handbags and shoes in 2007. The clothing line made $750 million in 2010, according to New York Magazine, and is projected to break the $1 billion sales mark this year, making it one of the most successful celebrity fashion brands.

Jessica Simpson.
why?
At first I thought Aniston but the clues fit Jessica Simpson 100%
-”career ups and downs”…went from cover of Rolling Stone to getting booed at her “country music” concerts to being lauded for her successful fashion line
-”career expanded over more than one medium”…music (two genres!), tv, movies, reality show, fashion designer
-”dated atleast 3 or 4 famous guys”…John Mayer, Bam Margera, Dane Cook, Tony Romo, and Billy Corgan
-”depending on who you talk to and which day it is, she’s either gorgeous or ugly”, “wants to avoid criticisms about her fluctuating weight”….she’s ALWAYS being criticized about her weight. One day it’s “Jessica is looking svelte” and the next time you read about her, she’s being called a fat pig.
-”oh and they will be getting married…” Well the tabloids haven’t mentioned her engagement and upcoming wedding to Eric Johnson for some time so even I was wondering if they were still getting married. I guess they are!
Besides Jen Aniston is at an age where she’s probably gonna need an assist to get pregnant if she can manage to get pregnant at all.
Yikes. She’s already pretty big to only now be three months along…
J simp!!!! I hope it’s her!!
Jen Aniston. Mazel tov!
of course now that i read this again, (not in bed falling asleep like i did the first time), it sounds more like jessica simspson. well done libby!
hellooo dahl….i got it first!!! not libby!!!!
def jess simpson….
Thank you
This sure makes it sound like Jen Aniston
Jennifer Aniston has never had public issues with fluctuating weight. This is Jessica Simpson.
Agreed – no weight issues there. Also, I’m pretty sure if it was JA the blind would have referred to an “actress” because that’s what she’s supposed to be.
supoosed to be! put your claws in Okayeah. The woman’s made some fine contributions to the sub-genre of dog / ferret centred rom coms.
not to use the answer to every blind item, but jennifer aniston?
Jennifer Aniston?!?!?!
Jessica Simpson?
Sexual Napalm herself…Jessica Simpson
Britt Britt Spears?
She was never married to a celebrity…my guess Jessica Simpson…Probably gonna have a baby
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson FTW!
Jennifer Aniston
Maniston. Yawn.
Gag me on the inevitable over coverage.
Sounds like Jessica Simpson.
I’m going to say Jen Aniston.
Hi BG, first time poster!
Jessica Simpson- lots of weight issues and engaged to Eric Johnson, now postponing the wedding.
Hi, Buck! Love, BG
britney??
Aniston
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson?
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson
Only someone who is brain dead couldn’t figure this out. Not exactly happy for her because I know for the next thirty years there are going to be ‘Baby Wars’ on the tab covers.
Can we all just lead our lives now that she ‘finally over Brad’???
Well, it’s obviously not Beyonce…
Christina Aguilera? God, I hope it’s not Xtina.
Can’t be Xtina. She was not married to another celebrity.
Didn’t really date anyone famous either.
God, could this be Britney?
I would bet it’s going to be Jessica. lol
Jessica Simpson
Congratulations, Janthrax! If it’s them, it is truly a happy ending/beginning.
Jessica Simpson. and the “although the wedding will now happen after the baby is born” sounds like someone we already know is engaged
jennifer aniston?
I don’t know too much about her dating history but maybe Jessica Simpson? Designs, sings, acts.
Congratulations to whoever it is!
Jessica Simpson, for the win!
Aniston?
This is so Jennifer Aniston.
Jessica Simpson
Jennifer Aniston
Jessica Simpson
Divorced from Nick Lachey
Dated: 1. Tony Romo, 2. John Mayer, 3. Adam Levine .
Known for fluctuating weight
Partner- can be a clue because they are not married yet..and there’s always been questions as to when are they going to get married.
Hi BG…long time lurker, first time poster!
guessing….Jessica Simpson.
Hello, Neli! Love, BG
The former Mrs. Pitt.
Aniston?
Jessica Simpson. At least I hope so, she deserves happiness.
Jessica Simpson. Has already announced that her wedding is postponed.
Aniston?
Totally Jessica Simpson.
..or maybe it’s Renee Zellweger because of the fluctuating weight part
Jennifer Aniston is always skinny..
What about Jessica?
Rachel Karen Green
Britney Spears?
But is K-fed a celebrity? If he is, she might be the reason why. And Besides Justin Timberlake two or three more celebrities?
Jennifer Aniston? but what else has she done other than act?
The Cheetoling, Britney Spears!
Has a song called “Up and Down”
Dated a few famous guys and married/divorced a “celebrity”.
Tabloid staple for sure!
Jessica Simpson. FTW
Jessica Simpson.
Oh god! If it’s Jennifer Aniston we will never hear the * end of it!
Not Britney. She wasn’t married to another Celebrity (at least i don’t count K-Fed).
Wanted to say Jennifer Anniston but I don’t think her career has expanded over more than one creative medium…I’m stumped…
Unless that could mean tv and film?
that’s how I read it.
Aniston
If this isn’t Jessica Simpson I’ll eat my hat!
I just read something about them postponing their wedding, hence…”they will be getting married, although the wedding will NOW HAPPEN after the baby is born.”
Jessica Simpson FTW!!!
Jessica Simpsons. No question. Very happy for her!!
Jessica Simpson.
Jessica Simpson.
Jessica Simpson?
Gotta be Jessica Simpson.
BRITNEY SPEARS
Jessica Simpson?
Jessica Simpson
So totally J essica S impson
This explains all the wedding-is-on-hold/bride-has-cold-feet rumors flying around right now.
Jessica Simpson?
Jessica Simpson.
Jessica Simpson?
Jennifer Aniston, finally.
Is Jennifer Aniston too obvious??
britney?
she did the song “up n’ down.”
has been public just recently about being on 1600 cal diet and exercising a lot, so would have concerns about weight-related criticisms.
“…she is gorgeous or ugly…” — there was that 2006 home vid of her calling herself “ugly.”
and there were very recent sightings of a engagement ring on her finger and then denials from her peeps that she’d be marrying jason trawick. the fact that they’ll be getting married suggests that the ring wasn’t a mistake.
whoever it is, glad they’re happy about it.
Sounds like Jessica Simpson
I’ll jump in with the obligatory Jennifer Aniston guess. But I hope it’s someone juicier.
Aniston
I thought Britney before I even finished the blind.
Easy one, Jessica Simpson. She is a singer, fashion designer, reality star. Was married to Nick Lachey, a former popular singer. She has had ups and downs in her singing career. Dated John Mayer, Tony Romo and probably another dude, I can’t keep track with this girl =). There are always suspicions about her weight and since she isn’t seeming to lose any with the Tracy Anderson method for her marriage with Eric Johnson, I suspect she just wants to get it out so the “fat” or “pregnant” suspicions will stop. Guess we now now why she isn’t “sure” of marrying and postponed it. Well, I saw this coming. Eric is the new K-Fed, boy doesn’t work, just lives off her money so I suspected a baby in 2012. Maybe another in 2014. Britney 2.0. Poor naive girl. First time poster btw, hi BG =)
Hi, NM! Love, BG
Jennifer Aniston? it’s obvious for me
Jessica Simpson.
There was a report about her delaying her wedding.
This has to be Jessica Simpson – she fits all the clues and there are always rumors she’s pregnant. The only other person it might be is Jen Aniston but I don’t think she wants kids.
Jessica Simpson
JENNIFER ANISTON
It’s Britney, *!
Sorry, couldn’t help myself. But I DO bet that it’s Britney Spears. She’s been up and down in her career (and how!), taken tons of flack in the press for her weight and her appearance in the past, and has dated several famous ppl (J.T., Fred Durst….). The only thing is that she was married to Keven Federline– does he count as a celebrity? Does the fact that i know what someone is talking about when they say “KFed” mean that he’s a celebrity?
OR JESSICA SIMPSON
First thought is Drew Barrymore..
Mine, too.
Good guess, I second this
Britney??? I hope not! She was never married to a celebrity though. Kevin became known because of her.
Jessica “mom jeans” Simpson ftw!
Jessica Simpson. She’ just put back her wedding, was married to another celeb and has had a lot of press about her weight.
Eva Longoria?Though I’m not sure whether she has dated many famous guys.
Jessica Simpson!
Was married to (and divorced from Nick Lachey); linked romantically to John Mayer, Tony Romo, et al; she’s always ragged on about her fluctuating weight; and there’s been recent talk about her upcoming wedding being called off, although if this blind is about her, it could simply be them postponing it.
clearly this is Jessica Simpson.
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson. Good for her!
Jessica Simpson? I know people have talked her weight in the past. And her that Eric (?) guy are engaged. The only thing that I can’t place are the three celebrities she’s dated. Of course John Mayer’s one, but are there others?
Jessica Simpson!!!!!
My guesses are Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
This has to be Jessica Simpson.
Nevermind, I take back Jennifer Love Hewitt, she was never married. I will replace her with Eva Longoria.
Jessica Simpson
Long time lurker, First time poster!
This shouts Jessica Simpson to me. Singer/actress, weight up and down, married and divorced Nick Lachey – celebrity in his own right – she always has the tabloids commenting on her weight anyway! And they were due to be getting married
Hey, Kool! Love, BG
Jessica Simpson. Career ups and downs, acts as well as sings (it doesn’t say she does them well…). Was married to Nick Lachey and has dated John Mayer etc. She has fluctuating weight which seems to facinate the tabloids. And I believe she’s currently engaged?
Oh and I guess for “creative mediums” she also has fashion/perfume lines.
Jessica Simpson?
Jessica Simpson
Aniston
How has no one said Jennifer Aniston yet. Saw some pics of her recently with (seemingly) slightly more in the boob & hip areas, flats & a closed black jacket accompanied by a fresh looking glowing face, she looked wonderful! I do hope it’s her, after all these blinds.
Jessica Simpson for the win!
Jessica Simpson for me.
100% Jessica Simpson: expanding into Fashion, movies etc. Was married to Nick but also dated John Mayer, Tony Romo etc. Always in the tabloids and there has been rumours recently that her wedding is going to be postponed…
Plus that photo and the way the hands are holding the beltloop on the jeans reminds me of her in her daisy dukes.
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson…
it’s Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston. Obviously.
Aniston
First time posting -woop!
My guess is Jessica Simpson.
Ascendo…woop! Love, BG
Thaniston are having a baby! Take that, the Brange!
jessica simpson?
It can only be Jessica Simpson:
Creative mediums – “singer” and actress
Married to another Celeb – Nick Lachey
Dated three or four famous guys – Tony Romo, John Mayer etc etc
Burrito Belly – has been pictured looking more rotund of late
Jessica Simpson
Jessica?
I’m going to say Jessica Simpson. She was married and divorced Nick Lachey. Plus she’s always in the tabloids due to her weight. She also has dated some other celebs: Adam Levine, John Mayer, Tony Romo.
It’s Jessica Simpson!
It is Jessica Simpson. She has done music, movies and has a fashion line. She has dated plenty of other celebs and was married and divorced from Nick Lachey. Good for her! First time poster
Jessica Simpson? Could mean she is going to postpone the wedding now.
Jennifer Aniston
Jessica Simpson
Maybe Jennifer Aniston, finally?
First time poster! And this is obviously Jessica Simpson, right?
Hi, Maxi! Love, BG
I actually change my guess. After reading it again, the use of the words “expanded” and “up and down” plus the concern over weight, makes me think Jessica Simpson. It has to be her.
my first thought was Drew Barrymore as well.
Jessica Simpson.
the up/down and ‘expanding’ make me thing of weight and jessica simpson, who has been given a hard time for her weight before. plus i recently read that she had stopped planning her wedding, presumably over cold feet.
Easy…. Chestica Simpson
I’m thinking Jessica Simpson.
Jessice Simpson! Lots of comments recently about her weight & she was married and divorced from Nick Lachey.
More than one creative medium – Singer & reality TV.
Duh Aniston. But that kid is going to be really short. Just sayin. Neither of those 2 can be over 5’6.
Jessica Simpson
So, lets figure out the timeline – if she is 7 weeks along and you usually wait 3 months before announcing, would that put it at about the first week of November? God remind me to stay far far away from any media outlet around this time. Its all we’re gonna freakin’ hear about for the next 5.5 months. Must turn the TV and internets OFF!! And then we can start looking FW to all of the “family movies” that Aniston will be doing… yeah, that will just great. She can take her lackluster acting skills and make a boatload of money by changing genres at least. On a positive note, it will make room for younger more talented actresses to start getting romcom ‘single girl’ roles now. Anistons been miscast for about the last 6 years – and she probably knows that.
Jennifer Aniston?
jessica simpson…
Renee Zellweger
What about Jessica Simpson?
Jessica Simpson?
-she dated John Mayer, Tony Romo, Adam Levine
-Divorced from Nick Lachey
-Her weight is always fluctuating
-She has been a singer, reality star, clothing designer, actress.
Only 4 comments? I guess everyone is in moderation… so I will be too.
I’d say Jen A but it sounds like “fluctuating weight” might be an issue for the woman in this blind and I can’t remember the last time anyone said anything not super positive about her body. Also, she only dates famous guys (at least for PR purposes) so the “dated at least 3 or 4 famous guys” is way off. Other than those things (which can be explained away) she fits…
Britney… blinds are loose in their definition of celebrity – KFed could count!
Jennifer Aniston!
Jennifer Anniston.
Definitely jolie-laide (pretty/ugly) and also fits the other clues.
Gotta be Jessica Simpson….
I’d give it about a 5% chance of being right, but I’m going to go ahead and take a big risk and say Jennifer Aniston.
Jessica Simpson
“Burrito” = JLo.
P.Diddy (then). Afleck.
Divorced Marc Anthony.
Career revived recently with “American Idol.”
CD’s, perfume, clothing line, restaurants, etc.
I LOVE this guess, only because of the unavoidable rampant speculation it would cause as to who the father is.
Jessica Simpson!
Jessica Simpson? She’s dated a few famous guys, and her weight has been known to fluctuate. She’s a very beautiful girl, but there are also some very unflattering pictures of her out there…
Jessica Simpson
Obviously Jessica Simpson!
Jessica Simpson?
First time poster!
Yo, Teach! Love, BG
Jessica Simpson…I think her wedding was put off for now.
This screams Jennifer Aniston to me…
Jessica Simpson?
Jessica Simpson – her weight has fluctuated; used to be married to Drew Lehy (sp?). In the spotlight a lot and is currently engaged.
Wrong Lachey brother! She was married to Nick (Drew is his brother).
I’m going for Britney. Kevin may have become famous because of her, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a celebrity now.
Also, her new song is Up N Down, and the blind has it written in there twice.
Jessica Simpson.
Jessica Simpson
jessica simpson?
Jennifer Aniston?
Is there any way this could be Jen Aniston?
JESSICA SIMPSON FTW
Jennifer Aniston?
This sounds like Jessica Simpson… I mean, everyone is always asking if she’s pregnant, before she probably wasn’s, now she is and that’s why they posponed the wedding.
JLo
Jessica Simpson
who’s always eating burritos? hmmm. let me get on this
Jessica simpson. Married and divorced a celeb. Went.out with other famous.guys. And is in the one person the tabloids say is fat all the time and then thin
Jennifer Aniston?
Jennifer Aniston!
must be aniston!
Jessica Simpson
ScarJo?
Jessica Simpson, of course!
Jennifer Aniston, with Justin Theroux as the daddy.
Sounds like Jessica Simpson!
Jennifer Aniston?
All I keep thinking is Jessica Simpson. She was married to another celebrity, Nick Lachey. Sure who gives a * about him now but celeb nonetheless. She has had ups & downs in her weight and is always in the tabloids for either weight gain or loss, or breakups. Lately I remember reading there was speculation about whether she was second guessing the wedding because she thinks she’s gotten too fat. It screams Jessica.
I give a * about Nick Lachey. He is gorgeous!
This has to be Jessica Simpson. That girl is the subject of some of the nastiest weight comments ever. Although I am not a fan, I do wish her happiness.
Long shot, but Jennifer Aniston? That’s the first thing that popped into my mind.
Jessica Simpson!!!!!! Has to be!
Here’s teh fox news slideshow that came to mind with the whole “bay or burrito” clue. Maybe she’s in here? http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/entertainment/2011/05/13/pregnant-ham-sandwich/#slide=1
jessica simposon postponed her wedding, and almost everything about this blind fits her situation. i’m going with her.
Now we know the real reason why her wedding was postponed!
I think this is Avril Lavigne. The only thing I am questioning is the multiple creative media clause… does she do anything other than music?
I’m going to guess Britney as well, BUT the only reason is because of the over-use of the term “up and down”. She has a bonus track on the deluxe edition of Femme Fatale called Up N’ Down… She famously dated Timberlake, and was linked to Colin Farrell. I think calling Federline a “celebrity” is a bit of stretch though!
Could this be Jennifer Aniston? Just confused by the “ugly” part though… don’t think she’s been referred to as “ugly”.
Patricia Arquette
Drew Barrymore or Jennifer Aniston.
Chesstica?
this sounds like Jessica Simpson.
Or could be Angelina or Jessica Simpson.
This just screams Jessica Simpson.
Eva Longoria?
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson!
I’m going to say this is Jessica Simpson…only because I heard about it on the radio this morning.
