Jessica Simpson held onto Eric Johnson's hand as they made their way out of a hotel in NYC today. Jessica was back in her cutoff shorts, which she also wore during the couple's last trip to the Big Apple. This time, Jessica's sister is along for the fun, and Ashlee and Eric were spotted on the streets together earlier this week. Jessica and Ashlee recently announced their plans to launch a teen clothing line as an extension of the Jessica Simpson Collection, with Ashlee acting as co-creative director. Jessica has already found huge success with her design efforts, and hopefully this collaboration will reap similar results. Jessica won't need her sister's help for the other major project in her life, though, since she's hired celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss to oversee her wedding.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner accompanied their oldest daughter, Violet, to a party yesterday afternoon. Jennifer and Violet even coordinated for the occasion in matching stripes. It was their latest outing as a trio, following a lunch date last week for just Ben, Jen, and Violet. Ben was handsome as always in his dark button-down shirt, which coincidentally matched the black eye he was sporting. He's in the midst of prepping to direct the CIA thriller Argo, which doesn't seem like an injury-inducing endeavor. Ben nonetheless smiled as he headed back out to his car with Jennifer and Violet to pack up and meet up with Seraphina. It was another fun city adventure for Jennifer, who has lately been busy doing library runs with Violet and picking up fun, Summer toys like Pogo Sticks for both her girls.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were spotted leaving his family home in Canada this morning before stopping at her hotel to change clothes. Selena switched into a pair of black shorts, while Justin opted for an interesting pair of acid-washed jeans. The young couple have been relaxing close to Justin's hometown of Stratford, Ontario, catching up with his family, friends, and siblings after their romantic trip to Hawaii last week. Both performers are on a break from their hectic schedules, but Selena's prepping to return to the stage next week in Santa Monica. They'll both head south before the weekend as Selena's joining Ryan Seacrest to host his American Top 40 radio show and Justin's expected to make a special appearance at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards — don't forget we'll be there live-streaming from the MTV Movie Awards red carpet!
