Jessica Simpson swooped into New York's JFK airport Friday night with a six-person military escort fit for a visiting head of state. But a National Guard honcho tells TMZ, he's looking into whether the troops were really doing their job -- or just star-struck.
We were there as Simpson touched down and strolled through the airport. We're told the troops got wind Jessica was in the airport and they rushed to search and protect as she walked to her Escalade. The soldiers, outfitted in fatigues, kept photogs at bay.
National Guard Major Angelo Agro tells us he investigated the incident, and says that the soldiers were doing crowd control -- at the request of American Airlines. Asked why six armed soldiers were needed to guard one petite blonde, we're told that it was originally a group of "two or three" soldiers and that the rest of the crew just happened to be walking out at the end of their shift.
Despite the soldiers' efforts, one of the snapper's cameras collided with a friend of Jess' mom, sending her to the pavement, shaking her up badly. None of the soldiers helped the fallen women -- instead they closely guarded their prize.
BTW, the terror alert has been elevated to yellow -- not to be confused with blonde.

Jessica Simpson did a little apartment shopping in New York yesterday, and she'll have plenty of pictures of her prospective choices. There goes the neighborhood!
A veritable horde of lensmen followed as she made the real estate rounds, looking at $2-12 million condos all over the island of Manhattan, prompting her to remark, "This is no way to look for an apartment."
Still, a girl can't live by room service alone, so Jess soldiered on, even donning a hard hat to see one barely built building. She'll have something other than her career to remodel!

Singer turned bad actress Jessica Simpson did her best Courtney Love imitation on Wednesday, by falling down and clutching a champagne bottle while shooting a scene for her (lawd have mercy) new movie, "Major Movie Star." Did she learn nothing from "Dukes of Hazzard"?!
The film is similar to the Goldie Hawn classic, "Private Benjamin." Viewers will need to get a Purple Heart after sitting through Jessica's military "comedy!"

Cameras caught the bustacular blonde sucking in her gut outside of Sur in West Hollywood this weekend. She looks like she's back in red bikini shape, but is Jessica Simpson's rockin' bod an illusion? Does it matter?
Jess just returned to L.A. from the other LA -- Louisiana -- where she's shooting "Major Movie Star," about a ditzy actress turned soldier. Who smells Oscar? Or Razzie?

Creepy stage dad Joe Simpson made skin crawl this past week when he discussed pop tartlet daughter Jessica's pending film choices.
"The last script that came to us was for Jessica to be a porn star. We were promised we would win an Oscar with that," Simpson told People. "I was like, 'Eh, we'll just buy a [statue of a] little man and keep our clothes on.'
Right-o Papa Joe.

The only thing missing from Eva Longoria's big fat French wedding last week was ... good friend Jessica Simpson! Pardonne-moi!
Eva and Jess have been good pals; Longoria appeared in Simpson's "Public Affair" video and both share the same mane man, Ken Paves, but the ex Mrs. Lachey was nowhere to be found on the A-list TV star's big day. Is there trouble in BFF-land?
So why was Jessica absent from the lavish festivities? Were the bridesmaids' dresses that bad?! Was Jess not invited in order to make room for Sheryl Crow?!
Eva'a rep told TMZ, " Jessica was invited to Eva and Tony's wedding. They are really good friends. Unfortunately her cousin was also getting married on the same day!" Jessica's rep confirmed to TMZ that she was unable to attend Eva's wedding due to her cousin's wedding in Texas.
That's the price you pay for getting married on the most popular wedding day in history!

Childhood friends Jessica Simpson and Lane Garrison had lunch together Friday afternoon -- but when it came time to leave, Jessica stayed a few steps behind ... avoiding a photo?
The pals dined at Senor Fred, a trendy Mexican restaurant in glamorous Sherman Oaks. Lane and Jess go way back -- Jessica's dad was Lane's family minister and he even lived with the Simpson clan for almost a year.
Last month, Garrison plead guilty to one count of vehicular manslaughter, one count of felony DUI with bodily injury and one misdemeanor count of providing alcohol to a minor. His sentencing is scheduled for August 2 and he faces five years and eight months in prison.
Let's hope they talked about lighter subject over lunch.

Professional blonde Jessica Simpson is set to star in the movie "Major Movie Star," playing the role of a Marine Corps enlistee. Sounds like it should be called "Private Benjamin 2."
According to Variety, the pic is about a movie star who decides to enlist in the Marines to prove to movie producers that she is the right choice for an upcoming military-themed film. Simpson's character quickly realizes she has made a huge mistake, but decides to power through -- for the good of her country. Hilarity, no doubt, ensues.
After "Employee of the Month," if Jess were really interested in the good of the country, perhaps she would stop making films.

People reported that Jessica Simpson and borefriend John Mayer have split -- again. Shocker.
Mayer's crisscrossing the country on his "Continuum" tour, but it seems that having Jess tag-along has grown tiresome for the Rolling Stone "Guitar God." Paging all groupies! After his tour, Mayer plans to go back to the studio for his next album. Maybe he'll go back to Jess too! Maybe not.
Cameras caught a tight-lipped Jessica last night at Japanese restaurant Celadon in L.A. Mayer will be rocking back-to-back shows at the Hollywood Bowl this weekend. Will Miss Simpson appear to see if Mayer asks her to "Come Back to Bed?"

With John Mayer out of the picture, Jessica Simpson found a new musician to fawn over -- Adam Levine. Again.
TMZ spotted Simpson hitting up the Maroon 5 show at the Troubadour on Saturday night, and while Jess and Levine were rumored to have hooked up in the past, the falsetto-voiced frontman was caught with a different blonde later that evening.
Porn king Ron Jeremy was having some fun with a few blondes of his own when cameras caught him signing the chests of some unlucky ladies on Friday.
Mr. Chow was packed this weekend -- with a somber Jessica Alba, Ryan Seacrest with some hot lady arm candy, the always sexy Kim Kardashian, a chatty Chris Tucker and "Coyote Ugly" hottie Izabella Miko all stopping by the Beverly Hills eatery. The one and only Diana Ross put her chopsticks to work as well, and ran as fast as she could from the autograph seekers who swarmed her on the way out of the restaurant.
Also out were a no-longer-"Hollywood" Frankie Muniz, James Blunt, Snoop Doog and Brandy, who has wisely avoided the club scene since her car crash back in December.
All this and more in today's no-Paris Hilton-for-23-days edition of Star Catcher.

Is Jessica Simpson into black guys? That's what one loudmouthed fan asked the dim damsel at the airport yesterday.
As Jess walked to her terminal, the pop starlet was hilariously cat-called by a snubbed male autograph hound who yelled, "How do you feel about interracial relationships? Can a n**** stand a chance?" as Simpson could do nothing but laugh.
The man's parting words to Jessica as she disappeared through security -- "Once you go black, you never go back!"

While John Mayer was busy saving the world from aliens, Jessica Simpson needed a little shop treatment to get over their pseudo breakup.
TMZ caught Jess on a shopping spree last night in NYC, at vintage denim store What Comes Around Goes Around, escorted by her stylist/BFF, Ken Paves.
Miss Simpson looked surprisingly happy, despite the reported split from her borefriend, which is now said to be patched up. This girl changes her mind as fast as Ken changes her hairdos!

John Mayer, newly busted-up borefriend of Jessica Simpson, was spotted in NYC today, ranting on his cell phone about an alien hostage situation and helicopters ... and about needing some pizza!?!
Obviously pulling the collective leg of the stalkerazzi, Mayer wouldn't answer questions about his widely reported split with the cleavage queen Jessica, but instead put on quite a show for photogs following him.
Mayer doesn't appear to be too heartbroken, but then again, he's quite a kidder.

It appears that the epic romance of Jessica Simpson and John Mayer has run its course. Please ... contain your surprise.
As first reported by Perez Hilton, Jess and John have indeed split. TMZ cameras caught a solo Mayer at NYC hotspot Stereo last night, looking just fine on his own. Get in line ladies, he's single again.
As for the reason for the, er, bustup, a rep for John refused to comment on the Grammy winner's personal life, as did Jess' rep.
Could it be because he's on the Time 100 Most Influential list having conversations with presidential hopeful John Edwards while she's pushing her hair extensions? Hmmm...
Some things just weren't meant to last.
