SEE THE PHOTOS!

When is Jessica Simpson getting married? Soon – we think.

“We’re along! How far along? We’re along,” she told MTV News at the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Style issue party Tuesday night in L.A.

As far as the dress is concerned, Simpson, who happens to be clothing designer, said, “No! I haven’t picked out the dress. That’s stressful for me. Like it has to be seasonal, so I have to really figure out the date and I kind of have so now it’s full force, full force wedding dress mode. Kate, you wish!”

Speaking of the royal wedding, what would Ms. Simpson get the happy couple for their nuptials? “The wedding gown I would have!” she declared.

For the record, Jessica Simpson has knocked out seven studio albums, starred in two reality shows, played in six feature films, and she heads a billion-dollar fashion empire. So what’s the next business move for the 30-year-old star? Broadway? Of course not!

Just popsicles!

“A line of popsicles! A popsicle would be really good right now,” Simpson told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column while being honored as Style Icon of the Year at Us Weekly’s Hot Hollywood party on Tuesday evening.

Simpson said popsicles definitely trump a long Broadway run, the timeworn venue for actors and singers looking to leave their comfort zone.

“[I wouldn’t do Broadway] because I like to always switch it up, I can’t stay in a regimen,” she said. “A line of popsicles would be a lot easier.”

Putting business aside, Jessica is also excited about being a bride-to-be. But her future husband, NFL player Eric Johnson, better watch out!

“I’m planning my own, who doesn’t plan their own wedding?,” she said. “The best part is that my groom will say ‘I do.’”

Once she’s hitched, her husband may want to watch out, as Simpson plans to go down Nicole Richie‘s TMI Twitter route.

“I do love Twitter, and I would say one of my favorite people to follow is Nicole Richie,” she said. “I think Nicole Richie is always straight up, really funny. She makes me laugh all the time, and she posts cool pics and makes fun of her husband, and I love it.”

Jessica Simpson poses for People Magazine wearing a black unitard. I can’t tell if I think it’s flattering or not. The top looks great, but the bottom – I dunno.

Also – here’s a video from behind the scenes of the photo shoot! (Try keeping your eyes off her chest – it’s not possible!)

Could this be an omen? The 30-year-old singer/actress Jessica Simpson revealed on her Twitter page yesterday that she’s been having very….interesting…dreams about babies.

“Dreamt that I had a son named Tenacious D…. That was a strange one.”

I’m sure that made Tenacious D star Jack Black more than enthusiastic. Jessica and boyfriend Eric Johnson started dating last November, but she’s never been hush-hush about her desire to have children. Last year when she made an appearance on The View, she said:

“I can’t wait to have kids. If I don’t have kids by the time I’m 40, my best friend Ken Paves and I are going to have children.”

Jessica Simpson is currently the ‘frontrunner’ to judge ‘The X Factor’.

Although buzz about which celebrities could join Simon Cowell’s new show The X Factor is already going strong, a new name has been added to the mix. Jessica Simpson is a frontrunner to become one of the judges alongside Cowell, a show insider tells PEOPLE.

“There [are] loads of conversations happening at the moment,” says the source. “No one has been offered a judging role yet as new names keep coming forward who want the role, but there are some frontrunners and it’s fair to say Jessica is one of them. She’s very keen.”

Simpson, 30, has the skills needed for this particular format, which features a $5 million recording contract as the grand prize, says the insider. Still, there are a lot of factors that go in to making the final choice.

“She knows what she is talking about [and] is talented and likable,” the source says. “But Simon’s not in a rush to decide. The judges have to mentor on The X Factor – it’s more than just turning up for a few hours a week to appear on TV.”

The judges will have to “work with contestants on music, dancers, styling,” the source continues. “It’s a lot of work.”
