14 DAY TRIAL // Jessica Simpson stepped out with her fiancé Eric Johnson at the beginning of the week, hitting the Hollywood hotspot Katsuya for dinner and drinks. When she emerged hours later, Jess was barely able to walk on her own.
Sources are telling PageSix that, indeed, Simpson did get a bit intoxicated the other night, but it wasn’t entirely her fault – in the sense that it didn’t happen because she drank too much.
The explanation is actually simpler than that: Jessica has been trying to lose weight. She’s so determined to be her slimmer self again in time for the wedding that she’s regularly going on detox programs.
This is also what happened the other night: the star came off a detox and went out to celebrate, spies are saying for the aforementioned e-zine.
“Jessica Simpson was wobbly at Hollywood hot spot Katsuya after sipping sake following days of a detoxing cleanse,” PageSix writes.
“She was given a helping hand by her fiancé, Eric Johnson, ‘after ordering up the most expensive sake and dancing round the table. She had just finished a cleanse and this was the first meal she had eaten in days,’ a friend told us,” the e-zine reports.
In other words, after some days of probably not eating solids at all and living on juices, Jessica pampered herself with good food and a few drinks – which she found out she couldn’t carry.
“Simpson let her hair down with a group of pals Monday, when spies said she ordered fried rock shrimp, creamy crab rolls, spicy tuna and crispy rice. Onlookers said Simpson was led out on Johnson’s arm and sat in their car’s passenger seat with her eyes half-closed,” PageSix says.
This is not the first time that rumors make the rounds that Simpson is trying to lose her now-trademark curves in time for the big day when she’ll walk down the aisle with Eric, as we noted on a previous occasion as well.
