   Jessica Simpson talks to Jay Leno about pregnancy, marriage and business career

Jessica Simpson has never been shy or afraid to speak her mind. Her latest interview with Jay Leno, to promote her latest endeavor, a fashion TV show, is the perfect example of that.

Make sure to check out the two videos embedded at the end of the article to see it in full.

As her fans must already know, Jessica is now promoting a new project, one that she describes to Leno as The Voice, except with fashion instead of music.

She's also very pregnant: she and fiancé Eric Johnson are expecting their first child together, a girl, who is due in a few weeks' time.

During the interview, Jessica is very candid about a wide array of topics, including her pregnancy cravings, her decision to bare it all for the latest cover of Elle magazine, her wedding plans, her TV show and, last but not least, the downsides of pregnancy.

The singer turned very successful businesswoman also talks about her love of high heels and how she's still forcing herself to wear them when out in public, even if it's not the most comfortable thing she could think of.

“It’s a tough thing here and I’m wearing six inch heels, it’s a lot of weight to carry on six inches,” she says.

Moreover, she confirms that she'll be having a natural birth, announcing that she's doing prenatal Yoga to prepare, after dropping out of Lamaze classes because she didn't understand the whole breathing exercise thing.

“Labor is really going to hurt, I have so much respect for my mom and all the women across the world,” she says.

When she's not working or enjoying her pregnancy, Jessica is also making wedding plans. She doesn't want to say when she and Eric will be tying the knot, but there's little doubt about it happening very soon.

“I want him to be my husband so bad. I do still want to wear the pretty gown, so I have to wait… Now she’ll just be in the wedding,” she says, adding that she and Eric will now be for ever in each other's life.

As she also told Ellen the other day, Jessica is due in a few weeks. Check out her new interview below.
