Now that her due date is quickly approaching, Jessica Simpson and hubby-to-be Eric Johnson have been spending more and more time at the doctor's office these days!
We caught up with the happy couple as they made their way to an appointment in Beverly Hills on Sunday, with Jess looking comfy in an all-black ensemble paired with a pink scarf.
The fashion designer appears on the December 12 episode of The Rachel Ray Show with little sis Ashlee, to share some of her comfort food cravings.
"This week it's peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, toasted, and then, I'll put some salt on my hand like I'm taking a tequila shot and then take a bite of the sandwich," she confessed.
Simpson also revealed, "That's the one thing about pregnancy -- I'll cry at the drop of a hat. Even a great souffle would make me cry. I felt [the baby] move the other day for the first time and I had big crocodile tears. It was the coolest thing ever. It did a flip or something. I was like, 'There it went. It's there. It's really there.'"

It's no secret that Khloe Kardashian has babies on the brain, and borrowing her nephew Mason for a fun-filled playdate is definitely good practice for the reality star!
The Kardashian sister and her hubby, Lamar Odom, got a bit of shocking news this week when the NBA player was suddenly traded from the LA Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks.
The LA natives have their entire life -- and reality show! -- set up on the west coast, so packing it all up and moving to Dallas may pose quite a challenge for the married couple, who celebrated their two-year anniversary in September.
But Khloe is keeping a positive attitude about relocating to the Lone Star State, Tweeting Sunday: "I have no doubt about it! I am excited :) I know this is for a reason."
Think Mrs. Odom will leave her fam, and move to Dallas full-time?

The e-ring is officially back on!
Looking every inch the seventies sweetheart in a floppy felt hat, black bellbottoms and a furry vest -- plus Christian Louboutin heels and an Alexander Wang bag -- Kristin Cavallari flashed her 5.2 carat engagement ring as she treated herself to a shopping trip in Malibu, on Sunday.
The Dancing with the Stars alum has had a very emotional year after calling off her engagement with NFL star Jay Cutler, before getting back together late last month.
Now the former Hills star is throwing herself back into the wedding planning full-force, but don't expect the Chicago Bears player to pitch in with any of the wedding plans!
Cutler confessed on ESPN's Waddle & Silvy radio show: "I don't really make a lot of (wedding) decisions. I hear about them in passing, or if I have to possibly write a check or something like that, but other than that, whatever she wants to do, I'm on board."

Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan is ready to speak out against ex-wife Linda Bollea's claims of his domestic abuse and homosexuality, after filing court papers last week for defamation of character.
The 58-year old WWE champ was in good spirits at the Spike TV Video Game Awards in Culver City, Calif on Saturday, telling US Weekly of his legal battles with Linda:
"After the four-year crazy divorce I thought I'd heard everything I could hear in the courtroom. Then, all of a sudden she says I abused her, that I was violent. She told everybody that I was a homosexual. If any of that was true, I would admit it, and if I was a homosexual I would embrace it. It's just so crazy to hear, so I have a real problem with it....If you're going to say I'm something that I'm not to try to ruin my career and my livelihood....I have to answer her back."
Hogan added, "It's so ridiculous. I don't mean to laugh about it, because it's not funny. But it's insane. It doesn't make any sense to me."
In her shocking tell-all memoir, Wrestling The Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes Hogan's ex-wife claims he cheated on her with fellow wrestler Brutus Beefcake, and physically abused her behind closed doors.
The wrestler has since moved on with new wife of one-year, Jennifer McDaniel. "I've moved on with my life, things are great again," Hogan gushed. "I know what it's like to be happy again."
