Jessica Simpson took her vegan fiancé to a steakhouse

These are photos of Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson out and about in LA on Friday. The agency says they are leaving the club Trousdale. You can tell, because Jessica looks toasty – and we know how she loves to get drunk. However, The Daily Mail reports that before they even went clubbing, Jessica at least had a big meal. Jessica took her VEGAN fiancé to BOA Steakhouse. Um, I guess they have salads there?

Jessica Simpson’s fiancé Eric Johnson took a firm grip on his lady as they took a stroll out for dinner last night in West Hollywood. The newly engaged couple laughed and smiled and seemed delighted to be together after enjoying a meal at BOA Steakhouse.

The restaurant was quite clearly Jessica’s choice, given her partner of seven months is a staunch vegan.

The 30-year-old singer looked casually chic in a monochrome outfit for her date night with her man. She wore a black and white chequered mini-skirt and paired it with a black blazer. Her black Louis Vuitton bag accessorised her outfit perfectly.

Promoting her new album Happy Christmas she said: ‘We have not started planning. I’m trying to get through all this promotion. Who knows what will happen? I personally have no idea. I have not set a date and I can’t even think about putting together like table settings and all that. We’re just going to enjoy the engagement and we’ll get married the moment we feel like it.’

However, the star revealed she hoped the marriage to the 31-year-old American footballer would take place within the next year.

‘By next Christmas, hopefully,’ she said. ‘We don’t have any plans but I’m pretty sure by next Christmas we’ll be married.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Yeah, I think they’ll be married on or by New Year’s, so what do I know? I don’t think this “whirlwind” romance is going to have an extended engagement. As far as the whole vegan thing, jointly with the steakhouse thing… I honestly don’t think Jessica understands what “vegan” is. Eric probably told her that he couldn’t eat turkey because he’s vegan and Jessica is like “Oh, but he can eat steak, right?”

    She put the poor guy through dinner surrounded by people eating meat…I mean, for a vegan that has to be… unpleasant.

    Heh, sort of like that ‘chicken of the sea’ thing, eh? *sigh* He has to listen to her prattle on the whole evening, he should at least get to pick the restaurant. >.<

  2. brin says:

    Maybe she thought that was his nationality…lol.

  3. Chris says:

    Well since it was said they were attending her friend Cacee’s birthday dinner I doubt she and Eric dictated where they were having it. But whatever.

  4. devilgirl says:

    Ugh! No matter how expensive her clothing and bags she wears/carries are, she manages to make them look cheap.

  5. gaugustaus says:

    It looks like he spilled steak sauce on his shirt despite being a vegan. His pants are dirty to.

    How embarrassing. If I spill on my shirt while eating I’d hate to have my photo taken afterwards.

  6. LindyLou says:

    Oh he’ll make her pay for the steakhouse visits in the divorce – don’t worry about that lol. This guy is such a blatant golddigger and no one seems to even care. As long as “Poor Jessica” has a man in her life then all is well I suppose???

  7. Po says:

    Kaiser said, “Oh, but he can eat steak, right?” Ha Ha Ha

  8. Jasmin says:

    eww why does her hair look like she just rolled out of bed?

  9. gillociraptor says:

    I went to plenty of steakhouses when I was vegan, because most of my friends and family were not. If you severely restrict your diet like that, but still want to have a social life, it’s something you should expect to do. Plus, in my experience, steakhouses have some.of the best baked potatoes (just make sure they can prepare them without butter).

  10. bluhare says:

    #( Gillo: Was just going to say the same thing. Steak houses are much easier than a fish restaurant. Baked potatoes and veggies and you can load up the tater. I’m not vegan, though, but I’d rather do the steakhouse than a fish place any day. And I’ve had someone say “you’re a vegetarian . . . so chicken’s OK?”

  11. jen says:

    He’s got matching alcohol bloat-how cute!

  12. guesty says:

    she is such a mess. still wearing the red nail color to match her fug ring. that color has gotta be getting old.

  13. melangie says:

    Shoe alert. Check out the first pic. Is Jess wearing those pumps with the fur on the heel? Fur heels can’t sit well with a vegan….

  14. bellaluna says:

    With her, the jokes just write themselves!

    She’s just saying they’re going to “enjoy the engagement” because she’s mimicking what Nick said in his latest interview.

  15. dholmas says:

    I agree that you can find plenty of vegan food to eat in a steakhouse. Have a few vegan and veggie friends and they all seem to just fine going out restaurants.

  16. devilgirl says:

    @Jasmin- She doesn’t have Paves keeping her well tressed any longer. Even that greedy ho had enough of her clingy ways and moved on to another needy woman, who isn’t as clingy and needy.

  17. guesty says:

    she such a mess. & that nail color has got to be getting old by now…

  18. Louise says:

    I don’t know why people are attacking Jessica for taking a vegan to a steakhouse. Not the same thing but I know a few vegatarians and I don’t let them dictate everywhere we go. Also considering it’s California, there’s probably a lot of options to select from.

  19. MissyA says:

    Watch out my vegan friends – I can’t eat most steakhouse baked potatoes (or veggies for that matter) because a majority of them baste their taters in bacon grease. Maybe it’s just a western/mid-west thing though.

  20. Abby says:

    He kind of looks like a younger papa joe in some of those pics. *shiver*

  21. Cakes says:

    Jasmin- There are a few articles on here about how her personal hygeine is a little…..lacking. So no surprise here she looks like a sloppy hot mess.

    As far as the vegan at a steakhouse thing: I bet she did think that if he couldnt eat turkey then steak was probably ok. LOL Kaiser!

  22. HakuraChii says:

    @Abby (#20) – Omg, you’re right O_o I didn’t even notice that. Blegh… Someone looks even *slightly* like my dad (or my stepdad) and it sends me running…

    @Chris (#3) – When was it said that it was someone else’s Bday party? I must have missed it. Unless it was written somewhere else. (I could only go from what was given on this page.)

  23. Henriette says:

    Oh, who cares that she took him to a steakhouse? She ate tofurky for Thxgiving; he goes to a steakhouse… it’s called compromise. I actually think it’s surprisingly healthy that Jessica isn’t just dropping everything she might want to do in case Eric doesn’t like it. I hope she continues.

  24. Eleonor says:

    She accepted to have a vegan thanksgiving,now he accepts to go to a steakhouse.They probably are working on this thing. And unless she has put a gun to his head, I suppose he accepted to go there, so if it’s ok for him I don’t see the problem.
    I am vegetarian, my friends know, and when I go to someone’s house for dinner I usually have my veg dishes, but I am also surrounded by people who eat meat, It’s not unpleasent for me. It’s normal, I don’t agree with them, but it’s their choice.

  25. gabs says:

    @devilgirl shes better off without paves. He made her look even tackier.

    Ugh now I want steak

  26. lachica says:

    i love how she always carries a huge bag to hide her fat belly/gut spillage.

  27. Anna says:

    And that right there is why divorce number 2 is coming up fast. There’s not a snowflake’s chance in hell that she’ll give up meat and I doubt he’ll give up veganism. Now it probably seems cute to both of them, but as soon as routine sets in, that’ll be one of the dealbreakers.

  28. Arvedia says:

    He looks eerily like a young John Travolta in these pictures. I give them a few months.

  29. LittleDeadGirl says:

    Ummm isn’t he only vegan recently and only so he can be healthy cause some health guru told him? I dunno how “staunch” that makes him. I got the impression his whole veganess was a temp thing to get healthy not like a moral choice he took seven years ago.

  30. Jessica says:

    Has anyone else noticed that Eric NEVER smiles when he is with Jessica?

  31. prell says:

    I am a vegetarian and it is no NO WAY a deal breaker for my very happy and healthy long-term relationship. My guy actually enjoys that he eats less meat with me, but if he wants meat, whether at home or out to dinner, it is quite simple. He eats it, I don’t. I will even cook it for him occasionally. Yes, sometimes cooking it is unpleasant for me but it’s really not that big a deal. Vegetarianism is a choice some people make, and most who make that choice are well aware it is not for everyone. We veggies are fine going out to a steakhouse. I cant speak for vegans, tho, because I am not one.
    I love Jessica, and all the more because she is picked on for no good reason.

  32. Jennifer says:

    Oh dear
    i have never really liked this girl from the first time i saw her catterwaling about 10 thousand life times wearing leather pants and using a windmachine……….. however while she is a trainwreck that enthralls most of us she really needs help. Not sure what kind of help is needed first just help in general. Perhaps emancipation from her father would help

  33. Bitter fruit says:

    He’s gay, right?

  34. Camille says:

    She looks like hell and he is so unattractive. Yep, Nick sure had her in her best days lol.
    These 2 are not going to last.

  35. BRE says:

    this is small I know but his shoes don’t match is outfit!!! I am so glad my guy knows how to match, that would drive me crazy

  36. Melanie says:

    I’m a Brit and I know very little about Jessica’s career, but is she really worth $100million?

  37. meilamon says:

    @Lindy Lou- “Oh he’ll make her pay for the steakhouse visits in the divorce – don’t worry about that lol.”

    Funny!

  38. manda says:

    @ melanie–I’ve heard that figure, 11million, before too, but I don’t know. She does have a pretty successful shoe and purse line.

  39. Stephanie says:

    Her hair looks like ten kinds of hell! WTF?!?! Use a brush, girl.

  40. Liana says:

    my husband being a meat eater wasn’t a dealbreaker for vegetarian me. My dog and cat eat meat, too, I won’t get rid of them, either.

  41. Lrayne says:

    His shoes are much worse than hers.

  42. Hautie says:

    I am just surprise that he is still wearing the old tshirts. Ugh.

    Had he chosen a simple white button down shirt with that outfit… he would have looked great.

    But I suspect he is purposely dressing down to prove that she is not paying for his wardrobe.

    Though I am puzzled by all the screaming here about the steak house visit.

    There are other things to eat there besides a steak. It is called compromise when you date and have a picky as hell dieter with you.

    And lets be honest. Had she suddenly went vegan, the exact same people here would be screaming at her for it.

  43. Whatever says:

    Yeah, more than half my family is vegan or vegetarian. They can find something on the menu. Steakhouses have more than steak. If they can’t find something in entrees, they get a salad and a couple of meat free appetizers. It works. This story sounds blown way out of proportion, as if steakhouses serve only steak.

  44. Weeble says:

    In Jess’s defense, let me say that as I vegetarian ( I do eat cheese and eggs, so I can’t claim vegan), I have often been stuck going to steakhouses with friends who are not vegetarians. It is really easy at even the cheapest most commercialized steakhouse to have the chef either make a special veggie dish or even to create something off menu.

    That being said, please Jess, don’t marry him. He’s awful. If you want to be happy just wait and really see what’s going on before you take that walk down the aisle.

  45. BB says:

    Yup, vegan here too and I’ve been to plenty of steakhouses. It’s no biggie, you can always have a salad and you can ask if their fries are veggie (i.e. they are not fried in animal fats). Most veggies I know don’t mind, heck, if you have omnivore friends, sometimes they come to your type of restaurant and sometimes you go to theirs 🙂

  46. Alexa says:

    Just now I get this feeling that Jess isn’t really that into him. I don’t think they’ll marry, and if they do – it won’t last long. Just this strong feeling I have…

  47. samihami says:

    “nd that right there is why divorce number 2 is coming up fast. There’s not a snowflake’s chance in hell that she’ll give up meat and I doubt he’ll give up veganism.”

    While I have no doubt that this relationship will eventually fail, I doubt that it will have anything to do with their differing choices in diet. My parents have been married 50 years, and for most of that my mother has been a vegetarian. My father, brother and I are not. It has not been a source of conflict for my family ever. It was just normal for us that at dinnertime there was food being served that met everyone’s needs. It was normal for us; we never even gave it a thought, and still really don’t. We just had a great Thanksgiving, and Mom enjoyed all the veggies & rice, etc…she just didn’t have any of the turkey (her loss…it was delicious!)

  48. ams511 says:

    boa is really good-id still go eat there if my bf was a veggie…maybe he eats before? i’m sure they can have the chef make them a vegan dish.

  49. Annicka says:

    I put my hair up neater to wash the dishes. And Jessica is a disrespectful ho. Only assholes take their vegetarian/vegan friends to steakhouses.

  50. Kelley says:

    There she is … again … clinging to his arm … again … and always clinging to his arm. “I’ve got a man!!”

  51. me says:

    What’s up with her handbag? It’s visibly empty and mushed!

  52. LondonParis says:

    PREACH, devilgirl. it’s frickin UNCANNY.

  53. erin says:

    people shouldn’t give her a hard time about bringing him to a steakhouse. i’m sure he was fine with it.

  54. Trippin says:

    Portobello Mushroom!!!! A good one can take the place of a steak!

  55. mimi says:

    I have yet to see a picture of this guy smiling at her or at the least looking like he’s into her. He always has the look of a paid escort more than anything. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and this guy isnt saying much.

  56. sarahbs says:

    A vegan wearing *what appear to be* suede shoes? Really? Fail.

  57. Megatrona says:

    Wow that is some huge face there mr Jessica’s ‘ boyfriend

  58. Anne says:

    As a vegan I wonder how he deals with all of the leather she owns and sells. Most of her stuff is pleather, but LV purses are leather. Or do some vegans not mind the shoe, boot and purse thing?

  59. Diamond belly button rings are fashion accessories on the naval.
