This Just In: Jessica Simpson May Be Leaving LA For Nashville
According to Real Estalker, several sources are whispering that Jessica Simpson may have purchased a 10,925-square-foot, 7-bedroom, 8-bath home in Nashville, TN, known as "The Queen of Northumberland" for $3.47 million. The manse in question is in a gated community and is listed as having "magnificent stone work on cornices, window trim and entry door, a tennis court, a swimming pool, a home theater, and fabulous landscaping."

Found It! Michelle Branch's Rug
I haven't seen much of songstress Michelle Branch these days. But the Union Jack bathroom rug in her recently listed Nashville property is a familiar face.
