It’s no news that the actress/singer Jennifer Lopez and Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham are good friends, a reason more for Lopez to dream about a future collaboration with the group. According to the reports, Jennifer wants to share the stage with the girl band during their forthcoming world tour which will start later this year. Victoria and Jennifer share a beautiful friendship and according to Jennifer (who is rumored to be pregnant) the two have a lot in common. For example, as a recall during a interview for Glamour, Do It Well singer revealed they have a nice friendship and they even talk about their typical women issues together; one day the two singers surprised themselves when they both found out that they feel really insecure about themselves sometimes despite their confident appearance.

I’d love to get back out there on tour and I’d really like to perform on the same stage as the Spice Girls. Even before we were friends, Posh was always my favourite.

The Jessica Simpson country project is taking a new level as Willie Nelson has agreed to help write songs for her upcoming album. The wanna-be-actress Jessica Simpson will go country according to her manager-father Joe Simpson, who insists that his daughter is completely serious about making her latest project a big success. It was most probable her dad idea for the change as the singer is not selling records enough. Anyway it seems the idea of working with Willie apparently started when he co-starred with Jessica in the 2005 comedy, Dukes of Hazzard. I found it surprising but if that works for her, why not?
In other Celebrity news, the pop star Jessica Simpson has denied reports she is to have a baby with her gay hairdresser Ken Paves due to artificial insemination technology. Rumours began circulating after U.S. magazine More reported that Jessica Simpson is desperate to become a mother and chose Ken as the father of her first baby.

My next album is probably going to be with Willie Nelson. I’ve been wanting to do a country record because it’s in my roots. I aspire to be like Patsy Cline. Willie actually turned me on to her because he used to be one of her background singers.
