Cuteness overload! Jessica Simpson decided to share a photo of her 8-week old daughter Maxwell Drew with her Twitter followers. "Howdy friends" Jessica tweeted alongside the photo of her pouty-faced baby girl. The dark-eyed beauty is clad in red and white stripes and her natural hair style seems to be that of a mini-mohawk. Adorable!

Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson chose People Magazine to publish photos of their newborn daughter Maxwell Drew. The proud parents say that "life has completely changed" after welcoming their baby girl on May 1st. Jessica says, "from how I sleep to what I think about, Maxwell has definitely taken over everything!"

Jessica delivered daughter Maxwell via C-section, she's still recovering from the surgery. Nursing has become "a full-on job", but "it's the worst if I have to pump and give Eric a bottle to give her. I miss holding her and having that closeness."

The magazine will feature photos of the new family (with the payment rumours swirling around - reportedly People paid $800.000 - it seems save to say that Maxwell has a great college fund).

Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson have welcomed their daughter into the world, today, May 1st. Jessica, 31, announced the birth of their baby girl on her website. She wrote, "Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson." Maxwell is 21¾ inches long and weighed in at 9 lbs. 13 oz. "We are grateful for all the love, support and prayers we have received. This has been the greatest experience of our lives!!"

Jessica previously announced that the couple were expecting a girl. At the time she confirmed the couple had a name, but didn't want to reveal it. The name Maxwell had been swirling around, because of the ties to Eric's family. Maxwell is Eric's middle name and his grandma's maiden name. Drew is the maiden name of Tina, Jessica's mom.

Jessica and Eric, 32, started dating in May 2010 and were engaged six months later. The couple had been starting planning their wedding, when Jessica found out that she was pregnant. The couple put the wedding plans on ice, so that they will be able to "enjoy that day", as Jessica previously said. As an added bonus, "now I get to have the baby with me."

UPDATE May 30th, 2012: See the first photo of Jessica with Maxwell here.

Jessica Simpon and fiancé Eric Johnson's baby on the way is a little girl! Jessica told Elle Magazine about her fears, "I swear, I will croak is she asks me for a pair of Nikes instead of Christian Louboutins! Eric is so athletic. We're gonna have this athletic girl and I won't even be able to take her shopping, 'cause all she's gonna want is sports bras and Nikes!"

Perhaps she'd better put those worries on the back burner and prepare for the delivery, since her ob/gyn thinks that 5 ft. 2.5/ 1.59 m. Jessica will be delivering a 10 lb./ 4,5 kg baby girl. Jess is hoping for a lighter one, saying, "I was only six pounds. So maybe Eric and I can meet in the middle."

On a more joyful note, Jess and Eric have already chosen a name for their daughter. She doesn't reveal it, but says it nontraditional. "It's nothing shocking and nothing you'll have to add to the dictionary. Still, when people hear it, they'll know ... why." So let the guessing game begin! What do you think could their daughter's name be? Jesic? Ersica? Lemon Verbena?

UPDATE: Jessica's baby girl has arrived! Read about it here.

Jessica Simpson is still 'wedding dress'-less

Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson knows exactly what she wants in a wedding dress, but it seems that it's hard to find. She tells Extra that, "I don't have a dress yet." However, Jessica, who has a billion dollar fashion empire, is going to be involved in the designing process, "The dress is going to be amazing." In regard to her wedding date she keeps mum, "I've heard people throw around dates and not one of them has nailed it. Not even close." About her wedding to Eric Johnson, she says, "It should be a celebration like should all be having fun, every single person there."

For now it seems as if she's focussing on her new tv-show Fashion Star. Jessica's role is to guide and be a mentor to aspiring designers on their quest for a multimillion dollar contract that will allow them to launch their own brand. "It's a fun show to be a part of and we all get to dress up," Jessica said.
