PEOPLE - Touchdown! Jessica Simpson and free agent NFL player Eric Johnson are getting married, a rep confirms to PEOPLE...As for Johnson, who's played for the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints, the 6' 3" Needham, Mass., native has excelled at sports since he was a kid. At 13, he hit a hole in one on the golf course, and he broke 11 school records while playing wide receiver for Yale University. He's also a former academic All-American.
This poor thing. Who would have thought 5 years ago that Nick Lachey would win this break up, the guy does nothing as far as I can tell and still bagged a hott chic (announcing his engagement to Vanessa Minnillo earlier this week). But Jessica, good God, have some respect.
Her career and anything to do with her personal life has been in free fall ever since her divorce (everything except her waste line I guess). From Pop Star and Married with reality show, to divorcee with somewhat of a country career (we can be honest, its a big step down from pop), to dating NFL qb's, to making appearances after apparently eating an entire Thanksgiving dinner (picture above), and now to this. Engaged to a former back up NFL tight end? That's as slumming it as it gets for a former Hollywood Pop-Star. Never thought she'd become more of a train wreck than Britney. Just a strange weird world Hollywood is.
