Jessica Simpson pictures Ryan Seacrest radio show John Mayer

Despite being embarrassed and betrayed by ex-boyfriend John Mayer, Jessica Simpson told Ryan Seacrest it hasn’t made her more suspicious of people in general.

“I’m not as guarded as you would think. I should probably be more guarded. I trust a lot of people, actually,” the actress and singer, 29, told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Tuesday morning.

Although she also made it clear she’s still upset about John’s comments and hasn’t forgiven him yet. I don’t blame her for that, but I’m glad to hear it hasn’t made her withdraw from people.

Here Jessica is looking pretty upbeat as she arrived at JFK airport yesterday.

David Letterman’s Blackmailer Pleads Guilty

David Letterman's Blackmailer Pleads Guilty

Robert Halderman has plead guilty to attempted grand larceny for trying to blackmail David Letterman out of $2 million dollars.

Halderman will serve six months in jail and have five years of probation. He has to complete 1,000 hours of community service in the form of helping young adults newly out of prison and also help formerly homeless people with literary and vocational skills.

The Manhattan District Attorney praised David for coming forward and not giving in to the demands:

“Mr. Letterman is a public figure, but like all New Yorkers he has a right to a certain degree of privacy in his personal life. By not giving in to the defendant’s extortionate demands for millions of dollars, and instead taking the courageous step of reporting the crime to law enforcement, Mr. Letterman risked the disclosure of certain aspects of his private life. I commend Mr. Letterman for making the difficult but unquestionably right decision to report this crime to my office and thank him for his full and complete cooperation throughout the investigation and prosecution of the case. ”

I’m sure David is glad to finally put this scandal to rest and move on. Do you think the punishment fit the crime?

Academy Won’t Apologize For Farrah Fawcett Snub

Academy Won't Apologize For Farrah Fawcett Snub

There was some buzzing this morning about the fact that Farrah Fawcett was not recognized in the “In Memoriam” montage at the Academy Awards last night. Some thought it must have been a mistake, but that’s not the case.

A spokeswoman for the Academy:

I would not say that it was an oversight,” Leslie Unger, spokeswoman for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, tells E! News. “No matter how carefully and how conscientiously people address who is included, there are people who just simply can’t be. In any given year there will always be some people that other people think should have been included and that there’s more justification for one person versus another,” says Unger. “It is impossible to include everybody.”

Craig Nevius, a close friend of Farrah’s is not buying it:

how you can discount Extremities [which earned her a Globe nom for Best Actress in a Drama], The Apostle [which earned her an Independent Spirit nom for Best Supporting Actress] and Dr. T and the Women, I don’t know.

Some are disgruntled, saying that the Academy made sure Michael Jackson was included when he had a much smaller resume than Farrah.

What do you think? Do you think she was snubbed because she was more well-known for her TV roles?
