If Demi Moore did it, Jessica Simpson can do it better. The television personality and businesswoman is glowing in all her pregnant glory on the cover of Elle – wearing nothing but oversized earrings and a massive cocktail ring.

Because of the revealing nature of the photo, as beautiful as it is, we can't include it with this article.

However, you can see it over at Us Weekly, which is the same media outlet that also brings the first quotes from the accompanying interview.

As it turns out, Jessica's first child is a girl and she and fiancé Eric Johnson are thrilled about it. They're already keeping busy making preparations for her arrival.

While she's ok with confirming that she's having a girl, Jessica doesn't want to reveal her name – but she does hint that it might be something familiar to fans.

“We're sure,” the mom to be says, asked if there's any chance they might be changing their mind on the name.

She also says that, while it's not exactly a traditional name, it's not too weird either. That means “Chicken of the Sea” is out of the question.

“We're embroidering it on things. It's nothing shocking and nothing you'll have to add to the dictionary. When people hear it, they'll know why,” the star explains.

She also talks a bit about how hard it was for her to ditch some of her favorite alcoholic beverages once she found out she was with child.

“Givin' up my Scotch? My Macallan 18? That was hard for me! Though now being pregnant, you crave other things. A big thing of water sounds great!” Jessica jokes.

For those who don't know, this is the first child for Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson. They will probably be married after she gives birth – sometime this month, according to online reports.
