Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson "Do You Know" (Epic/Columbia Nashville) 1/2 The moment pop princess/reality TV star Jessica Simpson announced her intention to record a country album, Nashville purists were up in arms. Listening to the result, it's hard to see what the fuss was about: She's every bit as country as Carrie Underwood, and maybe more than Rascal Flatts. The pleasant surprise here is that she's co-written several songs that do indeed probe beneath the cover-girl, tabloid-ready surface of her life.

Jessica Simpson toasted to her unborn son at a Tom Sawyer-themed baby shower over the weekend. "I'm so excited to have a son," the singer turned fashion designer told People, which obtained exclusive access to the event. "He got all these cute vintage cars and I got a lot of little leather jackets I can't wait to try out!" And that's fitting for mommy, who wore a curve-hugging bright blue dress and happens to be a "Fashion Star" mentor.

One chicken, at least, in the form of little Maxwell Drew Johnson.
