“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.”

Really?

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.
