Breaking News: Oops! Jessica Simpson Farts During Business Meeting
Us Weekly reports that Jessica Simpson loudly farted during a business meeting for her denim line in late January.
"While one of the executives was speaking in a room full of five people, Jessica let out a very loud fart," says the business meeting insider.
"Her mother [Tina Simpson] was there, and it prompted her to turn around and yell, 'Jessica!' The tension was extreme. No one knew what to say."
It wasn't Simpson's first brush with public flatulence: She famously cut loose on an episode of her ill-fated reality TV series, "Newlyweds," telling then-husband Nick Lachey, "You love my stinky ass," and professed her fondness for Dutch ovens to a radio station in 2008.
Maybe someone told Gerard Butler about her gassy fascination. Maybe he was trapped in the "oven" and suffered a whiff.
When the actor, 40, joined her group at West Hollywood's Boa Steakhouse January 23, he steered clear.
"They didn't sit next to each other," notes an employee. "She seemed to be nervous around him."
