JESSICA SIMPSON SHELLED OUT $100K FOR HER OWN ENGAGEMENT RING. LOL!

Posted by Adam

Jessica SimpsonJESSICA Simpson is desperate to be loved!

Sources say the singer — who recently announced her engagement to boyfriend Eric Johnson — probably paid for her $100,000 ruby-and-diamond Neil Lane engagement ring.

“No way could Eric, who doesn’t have a job at the moment, afford to purchase such an expensive ring,” a source told the PopEater website.

“Yes, he made a little bit of money in the NFL and is from a wealthy family, but unless his parents helped him out, Jessica must have paid for it herself.

“First, we find out that Jessica doesn’t want to have a prenup, and now we find out that she might have paid for her own ring. It just doesn’t feel right to me.

“We all want Jessica to be happy and finally find true love after all she has been through, but she doesn’t understand that in the long run if she pays for everything it will hurt her relationship with any man.”

Meanwhile, Jess is reportedly planning to walk down the aisle over the festive period because she doesn’t want it to be overshadowed by the nuptials between her ex-husband Nick Lachey and his new fiancee Vanessa Minnillo.

“She wants to beat Nick to the altar. She knows that it is going to be tough to pull everything together on such short notice, so it might have to be a New Years wedding,” a source said.

“In any case, she wants the focus to be on her wedding. She doesn’t want her wedding to be the aftermath of his.”

Sources also claim the Come On Over singer will spend a fortune on her big day as she doesn’t want to be upstaged by Nick and Vanessa, who announced their engagement two weeks before Jessica and Eric.

“It will be big and elaborate,” said the source. “She’ll spare no expensive for fear that Nick and Vanessa will outdo her. She’s already starting planning everything and has every family member working on her big day.”

    This article is vicious & speculates that she bought her own ring. Readers will read the caption in capital letters & will think it is based on truth, that is until you read the article & there is no concrete proof who bought the ring or where the money came from. He has earned money and who’s to say he didn’t invest his money or that he doesn’t have a trust. A source says blah blah blah. Let the source put their name in print if they’re that sure it’s the truth. I’m not a Jessica follower, but I hate vicious unkind rumors.

      Finally someone standing up for the stars. People who bash celebrities: YOU live a day knowing everything you do will be criticized and publicized. Distorted and made to make you look like a horrible person. I didn’t care about the article but I liked the gull on this person’s comment.

    • Jeff

      This has already been debunked elsewhere. He bought it, not her. Could have been financed if he didn’t have the money and/or didn’t borrow it from his parents. That’s very common for expensive jewelry, especially engagement rings.

  • L.S.

    Very speculative! Maybe it’s a family heirloom.

  • michael herring

    jessica i hope you read this dont marry him. it will only bring you more pain marriage is a sacred thing for love not as a competion sport. i know you love nick but you need to let him go. if you marry you caould marry me i love you im a big fan. i live in wichita,ks look me up jessica simpson and i work at too, at walmart 6110 w kellogg

    • Tom

      hehe Don’t get your hopes up. They NEVER marry big fans, and this guy is tall enough to keep her interested for a while. If you’re less than 6’3″ I’d say you wouldn’t compare very well…performance-wise. Know what I mean?

      Don’t feel bad though. 100 women who are younger, prettier, and nicer for you will come in to your store this week. ;-)

    “Come on Over” singer from 2nd to last paragraph. That would be Christina Aguilera. Nice try though. A better reference might be “Betcha she Don’t love you”, “I Belong to me”, “It’s Christmas time again”, “I can, I will”. Just pick a song from the correct artist next time!!
    Here’s a list:

      Duh! Come on over is on the list, look again!

    • idiotpatrol

      Hey idiot! Jessica Simpson did sing a song called “Come on Over”. How about researching a little more before posting next time toolbag!

    • KMR

      Jessica’s song is “Come On Over”. Christina’s is “Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)”.

      I like Nick much better than Jessica (she seems rather shallow and selfish) but she sure makes better romantic choices than he does! He keeps falling for shallow, phony women who just wanna mess with him!!!

  • LB

    Yeah, this is a bit mean. Honestly, I did think about how this man supports himself but…so what? Just let this girl be happy.

  • Think

    Why desperate. Who don’t want to be loved and get married. We all do! Stupid comment…

  • DENA

    I SAW THE RING. LOOKED LIKE A COSTUME PIECE OF JUNK, NOT THE REAL DEAL. IF ANYONE PAID $100,000.00 FOR IT, I HAVE A JEWELRY BOX FULL ID BE GLAD TO SELL.

    • John

      They have to pay a lot more for almost everything, remember. Businesses see celebs coming a mile away, and unless it’s something that gets them free advertising (like dress/jewelry for an awards show), they jack their prices accordingly.

  • Jess

    Omigosh you guys are all pathetic wishing Jessica the worst blessings. Like honestly you all need to get a life and stop reading this crap. We don’t know them so we shouldn’t be judging everyone makes mistakes just because they have money doesn’t mean that they are perfect. get a life people and stop critisizing. Jessica I wish you the best and your fiancee. Don’t read what people say who cares make your own life you don’t own anything to the jerks that hate you. They are jealous and also NEED A LIFE!!

  • Sylvzie

    This goes out to Sunny….. She makes good choices?? OMG!! Every one of her choices have not lasted and now she is engaged to a guy that is not even unemployeed, and after a few months. what are you smoking?? Nick on the other hand has been in the same relationship for years.

  • E.C.

    I don’t know why the media thinks this kind of reporting is respectable. This kind of reporting reminds me of being in Jr.High with these youngsters thinking they are all grown up,gossiping about anybody and everybody. And most of the time trying to hurt people. This kind of reporting is just mean. And I don’t know why the media likes to attack Jessica anyway. She has never done anything to anyone.

  • AJ

    Hey Jessica, I don’t have a job either. If things don’t work out with this loser, try me next!

  • Sherri

    “We all want Jessica to be happy and finally find true love after all she has been through, but she doesn’t understand that in the long run if she pays for everything it will hurt her relationship with any man.”

    What a joke. Yes, of course “you all” want Jessica to be happy —- just as long as she doesn’t mind the snide, behind the hand whispering about her.

  • Mels

    uhhhh…this article screams SPECULATION at its best!!! assuming Sh*T can lead you into trouble >> this goes for politics, your wife and people digging into personal lives of celebrities.

  • Sherri

    Thank You, Googie……

    This article is just cruel
    Jessica just do your own thing
    don’t listen to cruel people

  • http://personalsuccessresources.com/ Lynn

    I hope that she knows what she is doing rushing into marriage with guy. The ink on his divorce papers is barely dry.

  • KMR

    Look, I think Jessica acts a little desperate, but even I am SICK TO DEATH of these stupid articles!! She hasn’t been with Nick in over FIVE YEARS. Trust me, she does not give the slightest sh$t that Nick is getting married.

  • lindsay

    jessica simpson is an idiot. she probably did pay for her own ring. she lives up to every stereotype about blondes. shes a typical airhead, ditzy, ignorant blonde bimbo that hasnt grown up AT ALL in 10 years! im sure its true that she wants to beat nick to the altar. that totally sounds like her. what grown 30 year old woman even thinks like that? since when is getting married a competition? but then again, this IS jessica simpson, the same girl that wanted a barbie and ken themed 30th birthday party. lets hope that she has learned how to make a bed by now because lets face it-no man wants a woman who doesnt know how to do ANYTHING! my sister has newlyweds on dvd and it just amazes me how little jessica knows how to do. the only thing that i saw that she knew how to do was spend money and she better be careful with that too because shes not making money like she used to. everything that shes done in the last 4 or 5 years has been a complete and total failure. and the cutesy act doesnt work for her anymore because shes 30 years old now!

    Lindsay, you are nothing but a HATER. I bet you even stink like one. I can smell you on this computer. You HATERS don’t have the faintest idea of what you are talking about. You will never see any truth because you have HATE in your eyes. It blinds. I actually feel sorry for you. It’s a shame that the tabloids promote hate with people who is in love with hate. Anybody who bases anything on Newlyweds are stuck in a time zone. I really pity your souls because the HATE you exhibit for someone is the HATE for yourself. I feel sorry for you. Aren’t you afraid of burning in hell one day or are you already burning in hell wanting to pull somebody down to make yourself feel better.

    This article was extremely mean. I know the reporters have the “right” to report anything but that doesn’t mean they should. This article is all speculative. Eric Johnson was a pretty good NFL player and as a result made pretty good money, coming up with that ring probably wouldn’t have been a big deal, i mean think about it how many guys get rings for their girl that they can’t afford? Pretty much all of us. Secondly, SHE IS JESSICA SIMPSON! Most guys would give a testicle in order to just go on 1 date with her, can you imagine what guys would give up to marry her? Good gravy, she is ranked consistently as one of the most beautiful women in the world, she extraordinarily talented, good values, and seems to enjoy life when people aren’t ripping on her. Since when did Nick Lachey become the catch between Jessica and Nick? Nick was in a boy band and hasn’t really been relevant since the 90′s when he was 1 of 5 guys who’s goal was to get teen aged girls all hopped up over the fact that they would take off their shirts. At least Jessica had some talent, if you don’t believe me look at the divorce he got awarded money and she didn’t which basically means she was the bread winner, not him. I really hate articles like this and the way the media treats are celebrities. Why is this allowed, they are paid to sing, dance, act, why does that have to mean that they should get harassed on a daily basis by a bunch of people who have no talent other then being able to hold a camera.

  • Keith Grant

    She probably proposed to him also. She is feeling so desperate and old and the spotlight is going. What a pity!! Make hay while the sunshines they say.

  • Keith Grant

    Looks could be deceiving!!She has lost the real man – Nick Lachey. The guy really loved him then. He never cheated and was always calm and respectful to her. We all saw that. Men like that are difficult to find in this era. She is the bad one who text her husband about divorce and allow fame to cloud her sense of judgement . It is a wicked thing to do! now she is paying the price. I think she needs to apologize to Nick and ask for forgiveness. I think if she does that, she will find true love. If she thought this one is the real thing, she is kidding in my view.
