Jessica Simpson: So Inspired By Eric Johnson

Eric Johnson is just too good to be true.
That's Jessica Simpson's take on her former NFL player beau. "I've never really been in such a healthy relationship. I'm like, 'Something's going to go wrong. Is he going to trip me or something?'" the alleged singer said Tuesday.

Eric Johnson used to play for the 49ers. Now he plays with Jessica Simpson.

"I'm waiting for something bad to happen," she said during a panel discussion at Maria Shriver's Women's Conference in Long Beach, Calif., on Tuesday., "but then I have realized that I actually do deserve an understanding relationship."
Simpson, who refers to her boyfriend of six months "a hottie," said that Eric Johnson "has been a true inspiration. He really knows himself."
The same can be said of Jess ... in a manner of speaking.
More than four years since her divorce from Nick Lachey in 2006, she's not only found love with Eric, but also a new level of hard-fought confidence.
She can thank little sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz for that.
"My sister and I, through my divorce, became so much closer than we'd ever been growing up," Simpson said during yesterday's panel discussion.
"She would always give me music to get me through."
The sisters often cranked up the Sister Act soundtrack and Lauryn Hill's "His Eyes on a Sparrow" as well as Patty Griffin's "Let Him Fly", Simpson said.
"'Fly' is about that moment where you learn to fly and live on your own and that's what I was doing through my divorce, learning to live on my own."
While Jess cherishes being an aunt to Ashlee's son, Bronx, she said, "I always thought I would have children before her since I was married first."
But Simpson has taken away life lessons from hard times.
"Another thing that can strip you of your self-esteem is a divorce and you have to start over and find out who you are all over again," she said.
"I was on a little bit of a detour but I finally went back on the path that I was supposed to be on," she said, "I grew from that experience and it made me a better lover, and hopefully a better wife one day and an incredible mother someday."

Charlie Sheen on Hotel Incident: Totally Overblown!

New reports confirm that Charlie Sheen had cocaine in his system early yesterday morning, while sources estimate the damage the actor did to his hotel room in NYC while high is around $7,000.
But what's the big deal? That's what the sitcom star texted today, as he made his first public comments since being discovered by police at the Plaza.
I’m fine,” Sheen wrote to Radar Online. “The story is totally overblown and overplayed as far as the reality of the scenario.”

Sheen would not elaborate on what actually went down, and ex-wife Denise Richards - who accompanied the actor to the hospital - is also remaining quiet.

Sources say Sheen will get back to work on Two and a Half Men this week, while a Colorado judge is unlikely to revoke his probation because he wasn't technically caught committing a crime.

Guess that pretty much wraps up this sketchy incident. Until Sheen's next one, that is.

Kristen Stewart: I learnt how to pole dance

Twilight star gets bruised learning to pole dance for her next film

Kristen Stewart was worried that her pole dancing bruises would look fake

Kristen Stewart got in character for her latest film role by learning to pole dance.
The Twilight actress shed her inhibitions to ensure her scenes as a 16-year-old sex worker in Welcome To The Rileys were realistic.
'I learned how to pole dance even though you only see it for a second in the film,' says Kristen, 20.
'I got bruises in rehearsal. It really hurts.'
In fact, Kristen wanted the make-up team to cover up some of her scrapes and bruises in case they looked fake.
'There were so many that I wasn't sure, like, do you keep all of them - or is that too much - or is it going to look hokey?'
Kristen also researched her role by visiting strip clubs with the film's director, Jake Scott - even getting offered a job in one.
'I went to my first strip club and the guy was like, "You have to come back later if you want a job",' she recalls.
'It was shocking to find myself in situations like that and just being completely fine with them.'

Audrina Patridge Eliminated in Dancing With the Stars Shocker: WTF?!

There were a few competitors we could have seen being voted off Dancing With the Stars this week. Audrina Patridge was not on that list, but she's headed home.
As such, Rock Week left the field all shook up.
With 24 points in her individual routine and another eight in the group marathon, Audrina's total of 32 was the second HIGHEST of the week behind Brandy.

Audrina and Tony are out. Go figure that.

Despite besting Kurt Warner (22), Bristol Palin (28) and even favorite Jennifer Grey (29) fell from grace, the former Hills star apparently didn't do it for voters.
Too bad, because she's actually one of the better dancers this fall. What she lacked in passion, she more than made up for in technique, effort and consistency.
"I've had so much fun this entire experience," said Audrina Patridge. "Tony has been such an amazing teacher ... Thank you for all the comments and support."
Judge Len Goodman was less diplomatic.
"I'm almost at a loss for words," he said of Audrina and Jennifer landing in the bottom two. "It's ludicrous. For one of these two to be going home is absolute nonsense. We like the underdog but we like justice more, and there is no justice here."
What do you think? Pretty hard to argue that the voters got this wrong. How do you not send Kurt home after Monday night? How does Bristol outlast Audrina?

'Katie's really self-obssessed. 
She knows she's not going to 
win so for her the more exposure the better.'
A friend of the blonde wannabe tells Now: ‘Matt was furious with her and won't speak to her at all, but that's revved Katie up even more. She thinks he's just playing hard to get and told me in no uncertain terms: 
"I always get what I want."
'She really likes him, but sadly the feeling isn't mutual.'
