Jessica Simpson Confirms Pregnancy After $500,000 Pay Out

Did fashion mogul Jessica Simpson confirm her pregnancy after receiving $500,000 for the deal?!

Earlier this year it was reported that Jessica Simpson’s fashion label was nearing the $1 billion mark not to mention she’s engaged to marry NFL player, Eric Johnson.

It seems a bit odd that Jessica who either put on a few pounds or is doing a poor job at hiding a baby bump would hold out for money.

Granted celebrities have done stranger things. So let’s go with this one for a minute. So for weeks, the day Jessica Simpson would announce her pregnancy was highly anticipated. New York Post revealed that the obvious news wasn’t confirmed because Jessica was waiting for a $500,000 payout.

“We’re told the Simpsons were asking up to $500,000 to close the deal.”

RadarOnline thought the deal wasn’t possible when a PR exec stated,

“The issue with Jessica Simpson maybe is that she simply hasn’t been ‘hot’ lately in terms of relevant, big celebrity occurrences”

“No big movie, hit album or A-list happening, and even though she’s an A-list celebrity…in this economy, media needs to know for $500,000 that something is a sure bet — and Simpson simply may not be seen as that today.”

Well someone forgot to tell that to OK Magazine who reportedly shelled out the $500k with their leading title, “Yes, I’m having a baby!”

Life & Style decided to skip the entire confirmation process and the expense when they stated that Jess is having a baby girl with a wedding date set for November 11th!

What do you think – take a look at some pictures within the last week. Is Jessica Simpson pregnant?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
