Jessica Simpson Gratuitous Pregnant Nude Magazine Cover

Former “singer” Jessica Simpson is out pimping her new reality TV show and pregnancy. And since the reality TV doesn’t look all that interesting, Elle Magazine is showing off the only thing semi- interesting about her, that pregnant belly.

Elle Magazine gave her the cover and a very flattering vanity piece on the inside, all focusing on her daughter to be, and her boyfriend what’s his name Eric Johnson.

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.”

On her body subconsciously telling her she was pregnant: “We were goin’ to have an all-day drinking binge,” Simpson says, not shy about saying so. “Gonna ride our bikes, hang out…do naughty things. But I started feeling this overwhelming guilt. Why would I feel guilt at the idea of going out and having cocktails with my friends?”

So  yeah, there’s nothing new.  She’s just knocked up, her dad is great, and she wants a very girlie daughter.  Oh and her baby daddy is an athlete. And don’t you forget it.

I wonder if she will tell her daughter that daddy was still married when they first hooked up…

Michael Pitt Celebrates Style with Esquire and Tanqueray

Earlier this week (Wednesday October 26)  Boardwalk Empire star Michael Pitt joined Esquire and Tanqueray to celebrate the launch of the 5th anniversary of Big Black Book. Pitt mixed and mingled with VIPs of the fashion world to celebrate style as they enjoyed signature Tanqueray cocktails.  Marky Ramone, and Jamie Bochert were also on hand to help celebrate Esquire’s Big Black Book.

Esquire’s Big Black Book is currently on shelves – check out Pitt’s Tonight We Tanqueray spread on page 57.  As the face of Tanqueray’s new brand platform, Pitt joins Tanqueray to celebrate the excitement and intrigue that evenings can bring.

Check out the below video for Pitt’s take on style (1:30 mark) - “You put on a suit and people look at you differently.”  – Michael Pitt

I just picked up  Esquire’s Big Black Book yesterday, and I love a good men’s lifestyle read.  But this, is just beyond.  If you know any men that need some help, or just want to be a little more polished, this is the magazine this month to give them.  VERY helpful, and beautifully shot, too.

Canucks' Ryan Kesler Gets Spoofed For Naked ESPN Shoot

You and I may be quite pleased to see the outcome, but Vancouver Canucks hockey player, Ryan Kesler, has already received a good natured ribbing from his team mates for his naked photo in ESPN’s Body Issue.

“I think everybody has seen it by now,” defenceman Kevin Bieksa(notes) said. “It’s on the wallpaper on one of the computers in the [players'] lounge, so it’s out there now. I don’t think he is ever going to live this one down.” [yahoo]

And now, Kesler is the brunt of Vancouver based women’s yoga clothing giant LuluLemon’s spoof. Ambassador, Erin Anderson, stripped down to do her own spoof of Kesler’s ESPN pose and it’s all over the LuluLemon website.

I really hope he has a good sense of humor about this, because it’s kind of awesome.

Christina Hendricks In Playboy

No joking here.  This is Mad Men‘s Christina Hendricks in Playboy!!!! The famously curvy redhead was less curvy, and donned a platinum blond wig for this 1999 shoot about… shooters (drinks that is).  Christina is the girl all the way on the right if you couldn’t tell.

Even dressed up as a naughty cupie doll, she’s still the HBIC.

I don’t know what I find more disturbing, that whacked out clown, or the guy’s “tan”?

Shape Magazine REGRETS Having Leann Rimes On Cover

Oooh dear. It’s never a good thing when the editor of a magazine has to apologize for putting someone on the cover. But that is just what the editor of Shape Magazine, editor-in-chief Valerie Latona, is doing. It seems that many of her readers did NOT think that LeAnn Rimes was appropriate to be their cover girl.

“You are all in good company…as you all agree Shape has made a terrible mistake in putting LeAnn Rimes on the cover,” Latona explained. “Please know that our putting her on the cover was not meant to put a husband-stealer on a pedestal-but to show (through her story) how we all are human. And this woman in particular found strength in exercise in what she said was her most difficult personal moment.”
“it did not come across that way…And for that I’m terribly sorry. I hope that we can do better the next time for those of you that will give us another chance.”[via US]

So, just what got Shape readers’ panties in a twist?  Maybe it was LeAnn talking about just why she had an affair with fellow married actor,Eddie Cibrian, and then left her husband.

“My relationship with Dean was great, but ultimately it wasn’t a fulfilling marriage for either of us,” Rimes, 28, told the mag. “I understand why people are disappointed in me, especially since I grew up as America’s sweetheart.”

I find it interesting that LeAnn gets rejected, but Angelina Jolie still sells magazines.
