Jessica Simpson has “been sick to her stomach for nearly two months,” an “insider” tells Star magazine, which characterizes her pregnancy as “Jess’ Baby Blues.”

Her alleged illness is “definitely putting a damper on Jess’ pregnancy,” reports the tabloid, which says Simpson’s been suffering from nausea “all day, every day.”

The Star insider claims, “She’s upset that she’s been so sick. She feels like this should be the best time of her life.”

But it turns out Simpson’s supposed morning sickness misery – like so many stories about her pregnancy – is mostly tab exaggeration.

A source close to the singer tells Gossip Cop she’s doing great, and that she’s endured no prolonged illness while expecting her first baby.

We’re told she and fiancé Eric Johnson are as thrilled as ever about their impending arrival.

In other words, while Simpson has experienced the same bouts of nausea faced by most pregnant women, Star is trying to make “baby blues” news out of nothing.

Jessica Simpson is “warning friends and family not to cuss anywhere near her womb because she’s convinced her unborn kid can already hear and comprehend mega-filthy words,” begins a piece from the National Enquirer, in what has to be the most ridiculous story of the week.

A supposed “source” close to the singer claims, “Jessica is adamant that the baby sitting in her womb can hear everything around her, and she doesn’t want her tyke learning any curse words at such an early age!”

Wow.

The tabloid adds, “Anytime someone even so much as mutters a naughty word anywhere near her. Jessica fires a furious glare and screams: ‘Don’t swear in front of my baby!’”

Just… wow.

Where the @#&%?! did this nonsense come from?

In any case, a source close to Simpson tells Gossip Cop the report is just as “absurd” as it sounds.

“Jessica Simpson has dropped out of school — Lamaze school, that is,” begins a piece from In Touch, which says the singer is now planning to have her baby via Caesarean section.

According to the mag, “She was taking the classes with her fiance, Eric Johnson, but after a few lessons, she decided to skip natural childbirth and schedule a C-section instead.”

In Touch claims Simpson made the decision after the Lamaze classes supposedly “reminded” her of sister Ashlee’s difficult birth to Bronx in 2008, quoting a so-called “friend” as saying, “She wants to skip the pain.”

“Jessica can’t wait to become a mother, but she quickly decided that giving birth the old-fashioned way just wasn’t for her,” the supposed pal explains, noting, “She is planning a C-section in late April.”

The insider adds that Simpson has “already booked a $2,800 suite at Cedars-Sinai hospital in L.A.”

OK…

Now, here’s what’s right about the tabloid’s story: Jessica Simpson is pregnant.

Here’s what’s wrong: EVERYTHING ELSE.

Simpson “was never in a Lamaze class!” a source close to the singer assures Gossip Cop, nor did she did reserve a suite at Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

Moreover, additional sources tell us there’s NO scheduled C-section.

So In Touch managed to get three facts wrong within one story… impressive!

Neil Lane designed Britney Spears’ engagement ring, the jeweler confirms to Gossip Cop.

He tells us he worked with her fiancé Jason Trawick for “a while” to design what he calls Spears’ “dream ring.”

The bauble reportedly features a 3-plus carat round stone and pave diamonds.

Lane has worked on a number of high-profile engagement rings, including the diamond-and-ruby sparkler Eric Johnson gave to Jessica Simpson last year.

As Gossip Cop reported earlier today, Spears and Trawick became engaged on Thursday after two years of dating.

“Jessica’s Wedding War!” blares a headline from Star magazine, which goes on to claim that Jessica Simpson’s father is ordering her to marry Eric Johnson before she gives birth.

An “insider” for the tabloid says Joe Simpson, a Baptist minister, is “very upset Jess would want to have a child out of wedlock,” and is “trying his best to convince her how important it is to him and her mother that she get married before bringing a child into the world.”

Simpson’s dad is allegedly “pleading with Jessica non-stop” to let him officiate a “small backyard ceremony” like he did for Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz in 2008, one week before the younger Simpson announced her pregnancy.

The mag’s so-called insider says Joe will “keep pushing Jess to let him marry her and Eric right up until the day she gives birth in the spring,” and that his interference in her wedding plans is putting an awful “damper” on Simpson’s baby joy.

Of course, this is the same publication that wrongly reported Simpson was starving herself to get thin for her nuptials; paying Johnson to marry her; and that she stole him from his previous wife, so it’s a bit difficult for Gossip Cop to believe anything they claim to know about the singer-actress.

Regardless, we checked in with a source close to the family, who tells us no one is trying to interfere in Simpson’s wedding plans, which are still slated for after she gives birth.

Following the inexplicable tabloid trend of fabricating danger to pregnant women and their unborn children, In Touch reports this week that Jessica Simpson is on an “emergency baby diet” because she’s putting on far too much weight during her pregnancy.

The mag claims Simpson is “struggling to cope with her rapid pregnancy weight gain,” quoting a so-called “friend” as saying, “Jessica is only in her second trimester, but she already feels uncomfortable.”

This supposed “insider” tells the mag that she’s “already packed on 30 pounds by indulging in salty foods like chips with extra guacamole,” and notes, “At this rate, she could wind up gaining 70 pounds before she gives birth.”

In Touch then consults a doctor, who has never treated Simpson before, and knows nothing about her pregnancy other than the supposed facts the mag supplies.

According to the physician, “Women with Jessica’s pre-pregnancy body type should gain approximately 25-35 pounds throughout the entire nine months — with the majority in the second or third trimesters.”

Another alleged Simpson pal says the singer is therefore “making big changes” to protect her and her baby’s health, such as hiring a chef  ”to help her cut calories and make sure she’s eating the right foods.”

Hmm… that last detail sounds a bit familiar.

That’s because it was Gossip Cop who reported weeks ago that Simpson had hired a chef to make healthy meals, something which has absolutely nothing to do with her supposed abnormal weight gain.

Simpson has been eating healthy throughout her pregnancy, and is gaining a perfectly appropriate amount of weight.

In Touch‘s entire story is just a big fat lie.

“Pregnant Jessica Simpson is eating for two — and then some — prompting her fiance to cruelly joke she could become the new Kirstie Alley,” begins a piece in the National Enquirer.

According to the tab, Simpson “loves to eat and favors fattening dishes” so much that her fiance Eric Johnson “taped a picture of Kirstie at her fattest to their refrigerator to inspire his wife-to-be to watch her weight.”

A so-called “source” claims, “Eric has even called her ‘Kirstie 2.0.’”

For real?

Fat chance.

A source close to Simpson tells Gossip Cop it’s “not true,” and even points out that “Eric is always saying how incredibly gorgeous she is.”

“She may be pregnant now, writes Star about Jessica Simpson, before asking how did she used to “keep a once flabby tummy down?”

According to the tabloid, Simpson “would shove a piece of cardboard up her top to give the illusion of a flat stomach.”

Uh, huh…

The mag then quotes an unnamed “fashion insider,” who supposedly worked with Simpson, as saying, “It was a very strange thing to do.”

Not nearly as strange as Star‘s claim about the singer-actress-entrepreneur.

Anyway, since it’s Thanksgiving, and we’re always looking for ways to not look big after our annual feast, Gossip Cop reached out to a mutual pal of ours and Simpson to see if it was true.

Nope.

A Simpson friend completely laughed off Star‘s cardboard stomach flattening assertion, and told us it was “absurd.”

Guess we can now throw out all those cardboards boxes we’ve been keeping for days like this.

(OK!)

Of all the shameful things tabloids write – and it’s a long list – maybe nothing is as bad as fabricating danger to babies and children.

That’s exactly what OK! does this week.

The magazine’s cover story is all about Jessica Simpson‘s alleged “baby crisis,” including her “doctor’s shocking warning.”

According to OK!, “medical fears and emotional turmoil are spoiling what should be the happiest time” of Simpson’s life.

Wow, so what’s supposedly wrong?

The tab quotes a “friend” as saying Simpson has been “dizzy and nauseous” during her pregnancy, while an OK! “insider” contends, “She was totally unprepared for how hard it would be on her body.”

So… she has morning sickness?

What about the “crisis” that supposedly “could threaten her health – and her child”?

Well, the magazine claims Simpson’s been eating junk food.

“Everything she eats is highly processed with chemicals and preservatives, white flour and sugar,” alleges the “insider,” who adds that Simpson’s sister, Ashlee, and her doctor have both advised her to eat more healthfully.

So… she has cravings?

The OK! article gets even more ridiculous from there, mentioning that “everything on [Simpson] is swollen,” and that she’s “also sleep-deprived.”

In other words, OK! describes the typical experience of pregnancy and sensationalizes it as a medical emergency “baby crisis.”

Because the tabloid has nothing, it then discusses the “emotional angst” coming from Simpson’s purported “bitter conflict” with beau Eric Johnson over a prenup.

“Jessica said she was starting to think they’d never work it out,” explains a “source.”

On the financial stuff, OK! was wrong two weeks ago, and the tab is still wrong.

A source close to Simpson again tells Gossip Cop that it’s “totally ridiculous.”

And the magazine’s trumped-up tales of Simpson eating her way through a dangerous pregnancy are as baseless as they are sensationalized.

A source tells us, “She hired a chef who has been making healthy meals for everyone.”

“Jessica Simpson Has A Star-Studded Baby Shower At Her Hollywood Hills Home,” reads a so-called “exclusive” from X17Online.

According to the news and photo agency, on Saturday “Jessica Simpson had a baby shower and everybody came!”

The blog notes, “Famous friends like Jessica Alba, Gwen Stefani and Ali Larter came out to celebrate, along with Jessica’s younger sister Ashlee.”

What other details you ask?

None.

X17Online has NO information about the gifts Simpson received or what the guests ate, discussed, etc…

Incredibly, the photo agency doesn’t even have any photos of the “famous friends” going in or leaving Simpson’s home.

That’s because, as a source close to Simpson tells Gossip Cop, there was “no baby shower.”

“Jessica Simpson won’t give birth until next spring, but she’s already planning her post-baby slimdown!” begins an Us Weekly piece, which claims the pregnant singer is negotiating a $4 million Weight Watchers deal to shed her baby weight.

The mag says Simpson “had initially intended to sign with the company to lose weight she had gained over the past few years,” but then she got pregnant, so Weight Watchers supposedly came up with the plan for her to drop her pregnancy pounds.

A “source” for Us says Simpson will have one year to ”lose a significant amount of weight” through the point-counting weight loss regimen.

“She’ll then show off her results in ads for the company — much like current spokeswoman Jennifer Hudson,” adds the mag.

Well, someone is certainly getting ahead of themselves here, but it’s not Simpson.

While a rep for the singer wouldn’t comment about the possibility of a Weight Watchers deal in the future, a family insider tells Gossip Cop, “There is nothing in place at this time.”

“Jessica Simpson suffered a terrifying miscarriage scare that left her shaken and frightened that she was going to lose her child,” begins a breathless piece from the National Enquirer.

Quoting a so-called “close family friend,” the tabloid says the pregnant singer “nearly collapsed from a shooting pain in her abdomen” during a North Carolina business trip with her sister Ashlee on November 5.

After debuting their new teen clothing line at a local mall, Simpson returned to her hotel and supposedly “broke out in a sweat and started having trouble breathing,” details the source.

“She was petrified that she was miscarrying,” claims the insider, noting, “She collapsed in a chair and started screaming out for Ashlee.”

And then Simpson got so alarmed that she “sobbed hysterically and prayed to God to keep her from losing the baby.”

Finally, Ashlee calmed her down, says the mag, and when Simpson spoke to her doctor later, it was determined that the baby was just “kicking and moving around.”

Umm, who is this so-called “insider” that witnessed every single moment of Simpson’s alleged crisis in a room where only the singer and her sister were situated?

And if Simpson really thought she was having a miscarriage, wouldn’t Ashlee have called 911?

Not only is this story complete and utter b.s., but it’s also just disgusting.

A source extremely close to the singer tells Gossip Cop there’s absolutely no truth to the mag’s tale, and that Simpson is doing just fine in her pregnancy.

The Enquirer continues to sink lower and lower.

Well, the “big day” arrived… and In Touch looked totally ridiculous.

Jessica Simpson did not get married on Friday, despite the magazine’s long-ago fabricated 11/11/11 wedding date for her and Eric Johnson.

As Gossip Cop has reported since their engagement, Simpson and Johnson never set a date for their nuptials.

In Touch, however, opted to create a phony November 11 event and then invented a series of phony explanations for why Simpson and Johnson didn’t seem to be preparing for this (nonexistent) wedding.

The tabloid blamed Simpson’s weight, then blamed her pregnancy, and even claimed Eva Longoria had stepped in to talk Simpson out of it.

This week, In Touch insists that it was actually friction between Johnson and his future father-in-law Joe Simpson that derailed wedding plans.

A so-called “pal” explains, “Jessica postponed the wedding hoping to buy some time and mend the fences between the two men. But it isn’t working. If anything, Joe and Eric are more at odds than ever before.”

That’s patently false.

Rather than just admitting there was never supposed to be a November 11 wedding, In Touch continues to toss around faux controversies in order to cover its tracks.

Gossip Cop doesn’t think the mag should get away with it.

“Mom-to-be Jessica Simpson wants to deliver her baby at home, and may even raise the child as a vegan,” reports the National Enquirer.

The mag says the singer “decided on a home birth after watching Ricki Lake‘s 2008 documentary The Business of Being Born,” and quotes a supposed “source”: “Jessica is hell-bent on the idea of giving birth naturally at home after watching Ricki’s documentary.”

“Since both the Texas-born beauty and fiance Eric Johnson are vegans,” adds the Enquirer, ”they’re considering raising their child with the same healthy, no-meat diet.”

“Both she and Eric want the best for their baby, and they believe he or she will be healthier raised as a vegan,” notes the alleged “insider.”

However, the mag’s so-called “insider” is full of bologna.

“Jessica Simpson Pregnant & Betrayed” reads the cover of OK! magazine, which claims Eric Johnson is refusing to marry her unless she throws out their prenuptial agreement.

The mag says Johnson “had agreed to a prenuptial agreement,” but is now “backing out and insisting on an equal share of her fortune.”

According to a so-called “source” for the tab, “Eric knows how important it was to her to be married before the baby was born. She wanted to rush to wedding so that her child wouldn’t be born out of wedlock, and she wouldn’t walk down the aisle with a massive bump.”

“He’s basically using that as a bargaining chip,” alleges the purported insider.

Simpson is considering giving into Johnson’s supposed demands, says OK!, because she’s “a softy at heart” and “doesn’t want to mess up the relationship with Eric.”

Actually, it’s the reporting at OK! that’s soft.

While it’s true the couple drafted a prenup, as Gossip Cop has reported from day one, Simpson and Johnson never had a wedding date set, and so there’s no marriage ceremony from which Johnson is “backing out.”

We’re told both sides are — and have been — on the same page when it comes to the prenup.

A source close to Simpson further tells us, “There was never a wedding date officially set, and now they have decided to put the planning on hold until the baby is here.”

Snooki opens up in the upcoming issue of Parade about being bullied, wanting to be a brand, and the biggest misconception about her.

The reality star, who’s set to begin shooting her “Jersey Shore” spinoff show with Jenny “J-Woww” Farley in January, says she always knew she’d be famous. “I didn’t know I was going to be on a reality show, but I always wanted to be an actress. The fact that it came like this is awesome.”

But with fame comes its downsides.

She tells the mag the biggest misconception about her is that “I’m an alcoholic and I drink and all I want to do is hook up. That’s totally not the case. You have to remember that reality shows capture your worst moments.”

Snooki, however, is used to negativity and how to handle it.

“I got bullied in high school. A lot of girls were so mean to me because their boyfriends wanted to hang out with me and my girls, so they pretty much bullied me to the point where I was crying at night,” says the reality star, adding, “Now, if somebody says something negative to me, I’m just like, ‘Whatever.’ I laugh it off. Nobody can get to me at this point.”

In fact, she has a game plan. She tells Parade that in “10 years from now, I would like to see myself successful as a brand, like Jessica Simpson, with babies running around and a beautiful husband and my own reality show.”

She’s already at work on her brand.

“I’ve got my slippers coming out and I’m working on a nail polish that might be out for the holidays. I’m working on my spin-off with Jenni, I’m working on my sequel to A Shore Thing, and I’ve got the clothing line, perfume, eyelashes — you name it, I’m trying to do it!”

And finally, who’s her celebrity crush?

“I like [pro wrestler] John Cena a lot,” says Snooki, who adds, “But he already knows it!”

This one is almost too ridiculous.

According to In Touch, Jessica Simpson “bizarrely pulled the plug” on her November 11 wedding to Eric Johnson just three weeks before the big day.

“It’s a surprising turn of events,” writes the tabloid, explaining, “The reality star/mogul had long been fixated on tying the knot on that date, exactly one year to the day her fiancé proposed.”

Uh-huh.

So what, pray tell, allegedly led Simpson to “call it off” at the last minute?

“Her baby bump popped out very quickly, and she’s much bigger than she thought she’d be at this stage,” explains a so-called “friend,” who says that Simpson went for a wedding gown fitting and “decided she was too big to get married.”

Let’s take a few moments here to report what’s actually going on.

In Touch fabricated the 11/11/11 wedding date months ago after the first fake date the magazine set came and went with no wedding.

Then, as the phony November nuptials neared, it wasn’t Simpson panicking – it was In Touch.

Last week, the desperate tabloid invented an alleged Eva Longoria recommendation for Simpson to postpone the “wedding,” and now the mag is trying to convince readers that Simpson would be so surprised to learn she gained weight during a pregnancy that she’d cancel the ceremony at the last minute.

As sources close to Simpson have told Gossip Cop repeatedly and consistently ever since her engagement, she and Johnson have not planned a wedding date.

In Touch is – once again – woefully out of touch… and unsuccessfully trying to cover its tracks.

There’s been a ton of wrong speculation about his ex Jessica Simpson‘s pregnancy, but what about Nick Lachey‘s current wife, Vanessa Minnillo?

Star magazine claims Minnillo “appeared to reveal a mini baby bump at the Mohegan Sun 15th Anniversary event in Connecticut on Oct. 22!”

“Normally she looks super slim, but Vanessa was wearing a dress that kind of poofed out around her stomach – it was very different for her,” reports a Star eyewitness.

The poofy dress and the fact that Minnillo supposedly “skipped alcohol” that night were enough for Star to suggest speculate that she and Lachey are “bringing up baby!”

“Jessica’s Anxiety: Twins!” reads the headline of the latest OK! story about Jessica Simpson, who recently announced she’s pregnant.

According to the tabloid, Simpson is “ridden with angst” and “concerned” because she “might be carrying twins — at least.”

The mag goes on to say Simpson has begun to “question whether or not she’ll be a good mom… have postpartum depression… get her body back,” and that was when she thought she was having just one baby.

Now with supposedly two babies, she’s “totally freaking out,” reports OK!, adding that when the “doctor said she might be having twins, she had to rethink everything.”

Maybe OK! should “rethink” how it fact checks.

Simpson is not “ridden with angst,” “concerned,” or “freaking out” about having twins because she is NOT carrying two babies.

“Eva Longoria is urging her pal, Jessica Simpson, to change her wedding date!” begins a breathless story from In Touch.

The mag says Longoria, who knows Simpson through their mutual hairstylist Ken Paves, believes her friend is making a huge mistake marrying Eric Johnson on November 11, 2011 (11-11-11), because she and Tony Parker tied the knot on July 7, 2007 (7-7-7), and are now divorced.

We’re not making this up.

The tab says Simpson “feels it’s a lucky day that will get the new marriage off to the perfect start,” but Longoria “couldn’t disagree more!”

A supposed “friend” of  the “Desperate Housewives” actress claims, “Eva’s superstitious and feels her friend chose the wrong date,” noting, “She literally called Jessica and told her to pick another day to get married.”

Hold on.

Simpson’s alleged 11-11-11 wedding date is a rumor started by In Touch (which first wrongly claimed the nuptials were taking place on June 11, 2011), and the star’s rep has repeatedly told Gossip Cop that no date has been set.

Late Monday, Jessica Simpson tweeted a photograph of (presumably) her feet dangling from a toilet, along with the words “Short girl problems.”

It was the type of amusing little moment we see more and more often with Twitter allowing celebrities the chance to share (certain) private experiences.

But then Gossip Cop read Us Weekly‘s take on the toilet tweet… and questions began to, um, swirl.

According to the report, Simpson ”encountered some difficulties in the ladies room at posh department store Bergdorf Goodman.”

To which we responded… huh?

Simpson was snapping photos in a department store bathroom?

And why would she be barefooted in a public restroom at all?

While Bergdorf may be “posh,” we were a little surprised that Simpson would do this. In fact, Simpson never said she was in the Bergdorf Goodman bathroom – all she sent was the pic and the “Short girl problems” joke.

After all, why would there be what appears to be a bidet in a department store restroom?

But there’s an even more important question than where the toilet is, and that’s: Who took the photo?

For that matter, maybe Simpson just found a random funny photo online and sent it out to followers.

Gossip Cop is trying to get to the, um, bottom of it all.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson‘s relationship is “falling apart,” reports the National Enquirer, which goes on to claim that “their wedding is off.”

A so-called “family insider” tells the mag, “This should be the happiest, most joyous time in Jessica’s life, but instead she’s miserable.”

Adds the supposed source, “She and Eric are just not happy together, and they’ve agreed to put off their wedding.”

Simpson is allegedly so “miserable” in the relationship that she “cries at the drop of a hat,” while Johnson continually “feels like an outcast with Jessica,” writes the tab.

Umm… if they’re so “unhappy” with each other, then why are they constantly together?

And if they’ve really called of their wedding, how come they were photographed holding hands in L.A. earlier this week?

Exactly.

Regardless, a Simpson insider tells Gossip Cop the couple is still engaged, adding, “They are very happy.”

“Jessica Simpson wants to elope,” reads the headline of a National Enquirer piece.

According to the tab, a “stressed out” Simpson wants to simply “run away to get married!”

The Enquirer, which week after week after week prints inaccurate stories about Simpson, now says she’s “so frazzled” over her upcoming wedding on November 11, “she’s begging her beau, former NFL player Eric Johnson, to fly away with her so they can tie the knot alone.”

The magazine adds that she recently told a friend that if she “doesn’t act fast, the tension could cause her to scrap their engagement altogether.”

This is all very juicy, except for one, teensy weensy fact… Simpson has NOT even begun planning her wedding.

There’s nothing to “run away” from or “scrap.”

A trusted pal of Simpson tells Gossip Cop, “They have not set a date or a plan for the wedding,” adding they’re just “enjoying being engaged.”

According to the magazine’s “insider,” the two stars of the upcoming NBC reality show “chat only when they need to, and they have wildly different opinions about style.”

In fact, Us Weekly‘s source says, Richie “thinks Jessica doesn’t have much of a high-fashion eye,” and occasionally “makes snarky comments about Jessica’s outfits.”

“Jessica doesn’t really care what Nicole thinks,” says another source, adding that Simpson — whose clothing empire made $750 million last year — “believes she knows how to make clothes for all kinds of women.”

So, how bad is the “feuding” between the two women?

Completely non-existent, according to both their pals.

According to the mag’s supposed source, “Their disagreements have set off a virtual World War III with them screaming at each other in front of underlings.”

“Jessica constantly throws her fashion success in Ashlee’s face,” continues the “source,” who says things have gotten so bad that Ashlee is “threatening to boycott” her sister’s wedding to Eric Johnson.

Whoa!

As in whoa, the mag couldn’t be any further off on this story.

A source close to the Simpson family calls the Enquirer piece “a joke,” and tells Gossip Cop the sisters’ new fashion line is “going amazingly well,” and that “they are having so much fun.”
