Jessica Simpson to wed 'before end of year'

Jessica Simpson has revealed that she will tie the knot with fiancé Eric Johnson before the end of this year.
The star, who was previously married to Nick Lachey for nearly six years, became engaged to the former NFL tight end last autumn.

While speaking to Extra at a Denver event to honour military families, Simpson teased that she and her beau hope to holding their wedding in the coming months.

"My wedding, I still have no date but it will be by the end of the year," she claimed.

Simpson also suggested that she plans to be very involved in the customisation of her wedding dress.

"I think every bride wants to design [her] own dress or at least have a part in it," she added. "It won't be a Jessica Simpson Collection dress, but I will have major say in that."

Last November, Simpson professed that her ruby engagement ring "represents love" and even recently teased that the pair may elope rather than hold a lavish gala.

LAX Lady

She’s always on the go, Jessica Simpson was spotted arriving into LAX International Airport.

The “With You” songstress looked cute and casual in a denim jacket, black t-shirt, and olive green Capri shorts as she made her way through the terminal.

Ms. Simpson was returning to SoCal from New York City where she gave a sneak peek of her new denim design line.

The Jessica Simpson Jeanswear collection is Jess’ latest foray into the fashion world- she already has handbags, swimwear, and fragrance items on the market.

I will never do nudity. That's only for my husband

Nudity in Hollywood has been variously described as beautiful, creative or explicit. But lately many famous actors have been vowing never to bare it all.

Oscar winner Kate Winslet, who showed off her bare body in a series of films like "Titanic", "Hamlet", "Iris", "Holy Smoke" and "The Reader", has said no to nude scenes.

During an interview, Winslet said: "I can't keep getting away with it and I don't want to become 'that actress who always gets her kit off.' "

Another celebrity to join the bandwagon is singer-actress Jessica Simpson.

Simpson said she will not take her clothes off for a film even if it wins her an Oscar. She admits nothing will force her to get completely naked on the sets.

"I will never do nudity. I don't care how dark and intellectual the role could be, you know, " she was quoted as saying. "I don't care if I frickin' could get an Oscar for it, I'm not going to do it. Those accolades mean nothing to me. I don't think people deserve to see what's under my clothing. That's only for my next husband."

Ever since "Pretty Woman" Julia Roberts embraced motherhood, she has refused to go nude onscreen for the sake of her kids. The original script for her 2009 film "Duplicity" involved a raunchy sex scene, but she insisted it be toned down.

"I refuse to do nude sex scenes, now that I'm a mother, " she said during the film's London premiere.

Israeli-American actress Natalie Portman, who played a stripper in "Closer" and appeared nude in the short film "Hotel Chevalier", now says she won't strip because she doesn't want her bare images floating on the internet.

"Fantastic Four" star Jessica Alba too has refused to bare all, insisting she can handle being sexy with clothes on but not without them.

The 28-year-old admits she's happy to take on raunchy roles and don revealing clothes in movies, but not more.

"No, I'll never do a nude scene. I can act sexy and wear sexy clothes but I can't go naked.

I think I was always very uncomfortable about the way my body developed, and I remember my grandmother would freak out and throw a towel over me if she saw me wearing just a bra and panties, " she said.

"I come from a very Catholic family, so it wasn't seen as a good thing to flaunt yourself like that. I can handle being sexy with clothes on, but not with them off, " she added.

It's not just female actors taking the pledge, even heroes are gradually joining the trend. Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt has also pledged never to strip.

"I don't want to be embarrassed when my kids get old enough to see my films. I can't see any more nude scenes (in my career), " he said.

"Twilight" star Robert Pattinson was uncomfortable doing a photo shoot with nude models.

Recently actress Demi Moore got upset with husband Ashton Kutcher's naked pictures with another woman, which were released to promote a film.

Kutcher, 31, who stars alongside 40-year-old actress Anne Heche in the new movie, plays a shameless man who hits on rich, older women in the new film "Spread".

Moore was unimpressed with the steamy pictures of him and another actress that have been released to promote the movie.

"Demi doesn't mind cinema fans ogling her hubby but she doesn't want these pictures in the press forever reminding her he got so hot with someone else. But after all his usual goofy roles, Ashton wanted to show there's a lot more to him, " said a source.

My reaity show made me sick

The 29-year-old singer, who had also visited India to film some episodes with Bollywood beauty Neha Dhupia, while promoting Vh1's 'The Price of Beauty' on a Television Critics Association panel, said she was freaked out by the thin models, Us magazine reported.
"Going to Paris, I had to walk a runway with all these tall skinny models and I almost puked I was so nervous," Simpson said.

The 'Price of Beauty', a show about what people find beautiful and why sees Simpson travelling to Japan, Thailand, France, Brazil, Uganda, Morocco and India to study what constitutes beauty.

"I mean, I can walk a red carpet but walking a runway, I will be the first to fall on my face. And thank god I didn't. But I was so nervous to walk out there and be judged. To just put myself out there like that. Especially next to people that eat just salad," she added.

However, the 'Dukes of Hazzard' star said she was able to get some much-needed perspective about herself shooting for the show which completely changed her as a person.
