~Jessica Simpson on ET Monday,August 5 @ 6:30pm!
ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT: Were you a fan of the show before you were asked to be on it?
JESSICA SIMPSON: I am a huge fan of "That '70s Show." I was so excited when they asked me to be a part of it. I love the show. It is very edgy and hilarious.
ET: Can you tell us a little bit about the scene you are shooting?
JESSICA: I was just shooting a scene with ASHTON KUTCHER (Michael) in which I was telling him we couldn't do it because I was a virgin. Then I have to get up, pour water all over me and make him very frustrated.
ET: What was his reaction?
JESSICA: He said it was a coincidence. He is trying to convince me that he is a virgin, too, so we should do it as first-timers. It's really funny. It's a great scene. You're going to have to watch to find out if we do it or not!
ET: In your life, is waiting a important?
JESSICA: Yes, definitely. I have held on to [my virginity] this long. I only have three more months to go, and then I am a free woman.
ET: For other people who are out there and trying to abstain, do you have any advice?
JESSICA: It really has to be something you want to do. I am a hopeless romantic. That is one thing that I want to share with my husband. If you really want to [abstain], if you want to hold that close to your heart and be innocent, it is definitely possible. And it is worth it, especially when you have somebody like my fiancé. I can't wait to give that to him.
ET: Have you been busy planning the wedding?
JESSICA: I've been making big plans -- 350 people. It's a big expense, unfortunately. This is going to make me go broke, but it's worth it. I've had so much fun. My family has been involved, and I have a wedding planner. It's going to be a big Texas Southern wedding.
ET: Have you chosen your flowers yet?
JESSICA: I am in the process of all that. I didn't know how much was involved in putting on a wedding. There is a lot to choose, from tablecloths to forks.
ET: Have you decided where you are going for your honeymoon?
JESSICA: We have not decided that. We are going to go somewhere far away like Tahiti. We want to be secluded and get away from everything.
ET: I had read somewhere that two guys actually broke up with you because they couldn't respect the boundaries. Is that true?
JESSICA: Yes, that's true. A lot of guys will break up with you for reasons you never thought could be reasons, but luckily I found a guy who respected and adored it.
ET: Have you talked about when you want to have kids?
JESSICA: I always wanted to be a young mom, but we will wait a couple of years. My mom had me at 20. She was married at 18. I've always loved having a young mom because I could totally relate to her, so I want to be that for my children. So, some time soon.
ET: How is the new album coming along?
JESSICA: The new record I am working on right now is very special to me because it is the first time I am writing every song. I am completely involved. I never had that opportunity before. I had to go along with what the record label wanted, do my dance moves, which I am not very good at, and try to sing at the same time. This new album is all live music like a JEWEL meets SADE. It's very romantic with inspirational lyrics for women with self-esteem issues. It is a very positive album, and I am excited to be doing it.

~Nick and Jessica mentioned in August 12th People Magazine:
in the style watch section (under Behind the Seams).
"Singer Jessica Simpson will get hitched to 98* warbler Nick Lachey in early October, an event the couple plan to pull of in high style. I hear Simpson has Vera Wang whipping up her floor-length, cream-colored wedding gown, while Lachey is talking to Hugo Boss about a classic nuptial look of traditional black tux worn with a cream-colored shirt and matching tie. His groomsmen will sport a similar ensemble with black ties."

News to Me
2/28/2002 - 2:38 PM
Hey Everybody,I just want to apologize to you all. I didn't know that we had broken up until I heard it on the radio. If you can't tell, I'm joking. WE HAVE NOT BROKEN UP. I hope that will clear things up. We are however taking a break like I said before. Many doors have been opened up to us over the past couple of years and we want to take advantage of some of those. Don't forget that Universal is releasing the "Collection" CD in May. And the single "Why" officially goes to radio on 3/12. We hope we can count on you guys to support this project with as much enthusiasm as you have in the past. Thanks for everything. I hope you like the new stuff. I do.
Drew

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey engaged! Congratulations to the cute couple!
Straight from Jessica Simpson's Official Message Board:
I have an exclusive Valentine's report just for my friends and fans on the Message Board. Please read...
On February the 10th on a beautiful yacht in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii my life changed in the most incredible way. Nick Lachey asked me to marry him in a very romantic way and I said yeeeeeeeeeeeessssss!!! Nick and I have been back together since September 11th but we did not want to make a big deal about it so we kept it quiet. After 9-11, I knew that I never ever wanted to be away from Nick ever for the rest of my life. He had been patiently waiting for me to grow up a little (which I needed). And I did! Now my life feels so perfect. We have not stopped smiling since that Saturday the 10th. Actually it all feels so surreal and we feel so complete. I wanted you guys to be the first to know. They are putting out a press release about the engagement and I thought it would be special if you all knew a few hours before. Nick and I want to thank you for all your love and support you have expressed towards the two of us. It is such an encouragement to know all of you are behind us. I have dreamt of this moment my entire life and now my prince charming has come. I am so blessed!!! Please keep us in your prayers and thoughts!!!! I love you guys and I hope you had a happy Valentine's day...I did!
Sweet kisses,
Jessica
xoxo
Ps...my ring is gorgeous and so shiny!!!
