Jessica Simpson toted her big brown bag from night to day having dinner at Beso with Ken Paves yesterday evening before stopping by the tanning salon and off to the airport this morning.

He's not the only smitten kitten, however; as we all read, Jess called him the love of her life last week, and she apparently also refers to him as FBD (future baby daddy) to her friends. Well, at least we know she's good with kids.
