Jessica Simpson traded in hot and sexy for comfy casual yesterday at lunch at Dos Caminos with her mom before heading to La Guardia Airport and out of NYC. It's always great to see a smile on our new country singer's face, even when handling criticism. Jess said, "A lot of people have listened to 'Come On Over' and told me, 'I really wanted to hate it, but I like it.' [It] is a backhanded compliment, but I'm glad it's that way and not the other way around." Most of you liked her first country tune, so maybe now the praise of her new songs will be more straightforward.
Katherine Heigl flashed a smile on her way into the wrap party for The Ugly Truth in LA last night. While that movie doesn't sound like much of a departure for Katherine, who is a romantic comedy veteran at this point, her next project is a weighty one. The actress will star in and produce the adaptation of Carolyn Jessop's memoir Escape. Jessop's story and testimony played a big part in the recent polygamist sect scandal and the book is about her time on Warren Jeffs' compound. It's a far cry from what we've seen from Katherine so far, but considering she was raised Mormon the topic must hit close to home. Meanwhile, Heigl doesn't want acclaim for this season of Grey's Anatomy — she officially pulled her name out of the running for an Emmy.
Kate Hudson looked gorgeous and giggly leaving her Soho apartment today to make an appearance on The View. Her mood stayed bubbly on the show promoting her new hair care line with David Babaii, but we're more interested in her flustered response on the subject of her new man Lance Armstrong. Check it out after the jump — when Barbara asked Kate to confirm that the two are dating, Kate acted like a giddy schoolgirl, saying "um" about ten times, but managed to avoid answering yet again.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban headed to the gym today for what seems to be their daily family workout time. One place we won't be seeing Nicole's bump is on the July Vogue — apparently Nicole will be fully clothed and barely showing on the cover shot by Annie Leibovitz. Oh well, at least soon enough we will get to see the new baby dressed in cute clothes thanks to gifts from Keith's fans.
Celebrity Style: Jessica Simpson
Doesn't singer and now lingerie designer Jessica Simpson look so fun loving in NYC? Her legs look sizzling in a pair of Frankie B. cuffed shorts and lace-up Prada platforms. I love the playfulness of her chain-link necklace and the green Tempest bag from her Fall collection. Like always, we have a black Alexander McQueen blazer to thank for tightening the look and giving it some polish.
Kate Moss was all smiles leaving the SingStar Take That Extravaganza in London. She took a casual approach to the night, opting for patent leather flats and mismatched blacks.
