A much fatter Jessica Simpson made the cover of US Weekly, In Touch, and People. Free media coverage is good, as long as you have a plan.

Watch for Jessica to land a deal as a spokesman for a diet company, and to launch her own fitness video, book, and maybe even her own food service to help people lose weight. All she has to do now is lose the fat, and she’ll be a role model for women who want to lose weight.

Reports say Britney Spears is considering suing In Touch for saying she is pregnant, and even using the pregnancy story on their cover. In Touch in response released the text messages between them and J.R. Rotem. Now Rotem denies he ever said anything. In Touch reports:

Contrary to the statement J.R. Rotem released on November 28, In Touch has documented proof that on Monday, November 26, the music producer did indeed confirm in these text messages that Britney is pregnant and that he is the father. When asked about rumors about Britney’s pregnancy and whether he is the father, J.R. texted "It’s true." And when questioned about Britney’s intentions regarding her unborn baby, he responded, "No clue on what she will do. She is unpredictable."

It looks like Rotem was just playing along, and In Touch got burned, but that part helps because they didn’t print a story they "knowingly" knew was false, right? On the current cover In Touch says Britney had "Ultrasounds…" I want to see those pictures. I could really use a new screensaver. It is entirely possible In Touch simply faked the text messages. Take for example the text message I received from Jessica Alba just this morning.
