Jessica Simpson has said several times that she wants to follow Angelina’s lead and adopt a child, and it sounds like she’s getting ready to do so any day now. The NY Post’s Cindy Adams says that Jessica told her she wants a child pretty soon, and not a biological one:

JESSICA Simpson, jealous of An gelina and Britney and Mrs. Ben Affleck and Christina Aguilera and Brooke Shields and Liv Tyler and maybe Demi Moore and Seal’s wife and Reese Witherspoon and Ann Heche and all the movie mommies who are parading babies, says she’s getting there. Getting ready. Getting set. Not that there’s necessarily a donor all primed – other than maybe Larry Birkhead, Howard K. Stern and Zsa Zsa’s frog prince. She says what’s getting her ready for motherhood are her dogs. They’re putting her into the maternal caregiving mode. Gorgeous Jessica, who’d have no trouble with volunteers to make a baby in the old-fashioned way, says she’ll first adopt. So look for another designer kid to come down the pike.

And reader Clarimonde points out that there’s a gift registry at high-end boutique Petit Tresor in Jessica Simpson and John Mayer’s name. If it’s not an easily-created fake, it might signify that Jessica wants a baby girl, as it includes “Cassie bedding” in pastel pink.

I’m surprised Jessica and John have lasted this long. She seems to hang all over him when they’re out together and he looks like he’s annoyed. If she adopts a baby it might guilt him into staying or he might want to get out of there immediately just like Billy Bob did to Angelina.

Jessica and John just enjoyed a romantic trip to Italy, and despite vowing never to be caught out without her panties, Jessica’s buttcrack was on full view at the airport.

Here are pictures of Jessica and John, taken March 1st. He looks so into her. There are pictures of them normally embracing while in Italy, though, I just thought these were interesting. [via] and some of her on the Blonde Ambition set, also from earlier this month. [via]
