Access Hollywood has a new interview with Jessica Simpson, She’s promoting the upcoming Project Runway-type show she’s involved in with Nicole Richie and Elle MacPherson called Fashion Star. Jessica talks about her wedding plans with fiance Eric Johnson and says that no outlets have correctly guessed the date of her wedding yet. We’ve heard that it will be on November 11, 2011 as 11.11.11 has some sort of numerical significance for her, and we’ve also heard that she planned to have it earlier this month but decided against it as the date coincided with her ex Nick Lachey’s bachelor party. (I doubt that was true.) According to Jess, those dates are wrong and “not one person has nailed the date on the head.” What an awkwardly creative way to say something relatively simple. (Just in case that’s a variant of the phrase “hit the nail on the head” that I’ve never heard before I googled it and came up with 7 total results, one of which was for this story.) Jess says that only she, her fiance, Eric Johnson, and their wedding planner know the date they have in mind. They’ll probably have to remedy that soon if they plan to invite anyone. She also says that there are a lot of stories criticizing her, but that she doesn’t really care because she’s successful anyway. She seemed pretty happy and upbeat.

On her wedding date
Not one person has nailed the date on the head. Nobody knows yet.

On who knows the wedding date
Me, Eric and our wedding planner. We’re doing it on our own, it’s nice.

On Fashion Star
It is about making every woman feel beautiful whether you’re a size 2 or a size 12. You almost should be able to feel comfortable in the exact same dress and that what this show is about, it’s about selling to all of America.

On the tabloids speculating about her weight
As far as the scrutiny that I’ve gone through, I mean you can say all you want about me, but here I am and I’m still going and I’m still rocking amazing clothes and livin my life extremely happy and I don’t know, if you have something to say about it – look at my brand.

Well that’s a pretty positive way to look at it. She’s like “I’m rich, bitches. I may gain a little weight sometimes, but at the end of the day I look at my bank account, see my painful shoes walking around on everyone’s feet, take a sip of a big ‘ol margarita and laugh my ass off.” I like that she hasn’t turned into a twig on one of Tracy Anderson’s 800 calorie a day diet and that she’s like “whatever.” As for the rockin amazing clothes statement, I would beg to differ given her red carpet style. (It’s telling that she thinks the same dress can flatter all sizes and that’s all I’ll say about that.) Maybe she means that she’s making those rocking clothes, or hiring other people to make them, and then making bank off it. That she is indeed doing.
