Jessica Simpson's wedding is off

Last month a source told Us Weekly that Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson were postponing their wedding ("Everything is up in the air"). Apparently "postpone" has been upgraded to "cancel." A family insider told the National Enquirer:

"This should be the happiest, most joyous time of Jessica's life, but instead she's miserable. She and Eric are just not happy together, and they've agreed to put off their wedding. Eric's feeling like an outcast with Jessica, and her family fears he's using her as a meal ticket. Jessica's parents, Tina and Joe, are worried she'll wind up like her younger sister Ashlee -- a single mom raising a child in a broken home.

"Jessica cries at the drop of a hat, and when he tries to soothe her, she pushes him away and says she doesn't want to be touched. They've been putting on a brave face in public, but the relationship is falling apart." (Print Edition - 10/17)

It sounds like Eric may have finally come to grips with the famous words once spoken by the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius: "胖女孩都喜歡輕便摩托車。他們乘坐的樂趣，但你不希望你的朋友看到你" ("Fat girls are like mopeds. They're fun to ride, but you wouldn't want your friends to see you on one") . . . or maybe it was Plato that said that. Either way, one thing's for certain: If Jessica's family think Eric's using their relationship as a "meal ticket," Jessica's apparently using it as an "all-you-can-eat buffet."
