Jessica Simpson wears unfortunate leggings in Aspen, didn’t get married

Posted: 02 Jan 2011 08:38 AM PST

Here is the fashion industry's billion-dollar baby, Jessica Simpson, and her paid escort Eric Johnson in Aspen on New Year's Eve. Don't ask me what Jessica is wearing. I mean, I get that it's really cold in Aspen and that Jessica's center of gravity is off because of some weight gain (thus, the boots), but there is absolutely no excuse for those leggings. There's no excuse for the entire outfit combination, but the leggings in and of themselves make me wonder if Jessica should perhaps be institutionalized. Surely, she's trying to look bad, right?

Anyway, it looks like I was wrong. It looks like Nick Lachey's Jedi mind trick didn't work. Jessica Simpson did not get married on 1/1/11. Instead of getting hitched, they spent New Year's Eve at some kind of dinner, which probably involved the consumption of a whole lobster, a ham, and an entire bottle of Jack Daniels.

Did John Mellencamp dump his wife for Meg Ryan?

Posted: 02 Jan 2011 08:12 AM PST

Last week, John Mellencamp and his wife of 20 years, Elaine Irwin, announced their split. I honestly didn't remember that they were still together, so I greeted the news with a solid "meh." According to Us Weekly's source, "They are both devastated and upset about it, but it was really her decision." Their official announcement came via John's rep, though, and it was: “John and Elaine Mellencamp are proud of their 20 years together and are very happy with their accomplishments both as parents and as a family. They will continue to raise their two children in Indiana but have decided to all it a day as a couple." BUT - what looked like a not-that-scandalous split is starting to look more interesting. A few months ago, there was an odd photo of John and Meg Ryan, sharing a laugh together in New York City (photo here). Now Page Six has brought it up, wondering if Meg is "the other woman" here:

John Mellencamp, who split with his wife of 18 years, has recently made himself a new friend — Meg Ryan.

A source tells us the 59-year-old rocker, who this week announced he and his model wife, Elaine Irwin, are splitting up, has struck up a friendship with Ryan, 49. He and Ryan, who had their biggest years in the ’80s, were photographed arm-in-arm walking in TriBeCa in late October, and she has since been spotted backstage at dates on his tour. A source told us, “Meg has been to a couple of recent shows.”

Mellencamp’s publicist, Bob Merlis, announced on Thursday that he and Irwin had split after 18 years of marriage. He declined to say if they’d filed for divorce, but did say, “They will continue to raise their two children in Indiana but have decided to call it a day as a couple.”

Merlis, who last month denied to Page Six that Mellencamp was splitting from his wife, last night said he had no further comment. Ryan’s rep didn’t return calls or e-mails.

Mellencamp became famous in the late ’70s under the stage name John Cougar. His hits include “Jack and Diane” and “Hurts So Good.” He’s now in the middle of a US tour to promote his new album, “No Better Than This,” which continues until April.

He recently said he was working with producer T Bone Burnett on a musical, “Ghost Brothers of Darkling County,” and Ryan was voicing one of the characters.

He told the Chicago Tribune: “If you could imagine Tennessee Williams meets Stephen King. They’re recording the dialogue now, and we’re putting out a record of the entire show before it comes out. Right now, Elvis Costello, Meg Ryan, Kris Kristofferson and Matthew McConaughey are doing table readings like an old radio play . . . The CD will come out ahead of time, and then Liv Ullmann will be directing the play.”

Hm. Sounds like Meg and John are friends. Look, I'm the first one to jump on some piece of juicy "homewrecker" gossip, but I'm just not feeling it with this one. One candid photo a few months ago and some reports that Meg has been to John's show does not equal an affair, in my opinion. Of course, it could be that I just don't see what any man sees in Meg Ryan anymore - she looks like twenty kinds of plastic surgery hell. If you're John Mellencamp and you're married to a lovely model-type who hasn't carved up her face, why would you start screwing around with some chick who looks like Meg these days? Ugh.

Shania Twain married Frédéric Thiébaud, her ex-husband’s mistress’s ex-husband

Posted: 02 Jan 2011 07:53 AM PST

That was fast! Shania Twain announced her engagement to her ex-husband's mistress's ex-husband just a few weeks ago, and now they're married. Shania and Frédéric Thiébaud got hitched on Saturday in Puerto Pico, and it looks like only TMZ got the photos (here) and a short video (here). Both the bride and the groom wore white. According to People Magazine, Shania and Frederic invited 40 family members and friends to the beach ceremony:

Shania Twain has gotten hitched! The country superstar and Frédéric Thiébaud got married in Puerto Rico on New Year’s Day, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“They were married at sunset in Rincon, Puerto Rico, in front of 40 of their closest family and friends,” says the rep.

The couple, who confirmed their engagement last month, became romantically involved in 2009, finding solace with each other after their spouses allegedly had an affair, breaking up both marriages.

In a letter to fans she posted on her Web site in December, Twain wrote, “In the last two and a half years of adjusting to life after separation and divorce, I needed to lean on others more often than I was accustomed to. These people have been gifts, and I am fortunate to have so many of these beautiful people – friends, family and beloved fans, [whose] support I cherish more deeply with each day that passes.”

“Talking about love,” she continued, “I am excited to share some personal news with you; I’m in love! Frédéric Nicolas Thiébaud has been a true gift to me as a compassionate, understanding friend and over time, an amazing love has blossomed from this precious friendship.”

I wish Shania and Frederic all the happiness in the world, I really do. If the official story is anywhere close to the truth - that Shania's ex-husband Mutt Lange was boning his secretary, and Mutt left Shania for the chick, while Shania consoled herself in the arms of the chick's ex-husband, who is now Shania's current husband, while Mutt is currently engaged to his jumpoff… well, God bless. However, I'm starting to wonder - Crazy Days and Nights has done a series of pieces about how sketchy this whole thing is, and they even wonder aloud if it was Shania who had the instigating affair.
