According to Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, she had a lot of baby weight to lose after having her son Bronx.

“I gained 50 pounds, which was awesome!” she told E! at Reebok’s fitness event yesterday. “I ate cake and cupcakes. I had a blast!”

When asked how she lost the weight, she said the secret was in her Reebok EasyTone shoes, which claim to tone your butt and thighs – just by wearing them!

“When I wanted to get back into shape, I worked out and these shoes are amazing because you can really feel them in your booty,” she swore. “But I also worked out and ate healthy.”

Now she says her exercise consists of going to the gym for 30 minutes while Bronx is napping, and she claims that even carrying 33 pound Bronx around is a workout itself!

After appearing on Broadway in the play Chicago, she’s very happy to be taking a break from her career.

“Being a mom is my first priority and it’s amazing because you grow up and watch your child grow up,” she explained. “It’s the best thing in the whole entire world.”

The event, which included a celebrity picnic and live performance by Miley Cyrus, was to raise funds for an Aids charity dedicated to children suffering with the disease. The event was sponsored by Disney and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatrics Foundation.

Singers Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz leave the London hotel with their son Bronx Mowgli . They jump on a tour bus to head to Boston, the next stop on Fall Out Boy’s concert series.

Jessica Simpson and boyfriend Tony Romo stepped out together Saturday night.

The two joined her sister Ashlee and parents Joe and Tina for a pre-Easter dinner at Eva Longoria Parker‘s restaurant, Beso, in West Hollywood.

“You look gorgeous tonight, Jessica,” a photographer told her. “Thank you,” she replied.

As Joe exited the restaurant, photographers asked him whether they were celebrating Jessica’s engagement to Romo. He smiled and replied, “It’s Easter.”

Over the weekend, Jessica also sent her fans an encouraging message on her official fan site.

She wrote:

“Why do we let the sun SET with its beauty, then find ourselves ugly.

Didn’t God, whoever he may be to you, create both? If a sunset is beautiful, then so are we.

Love yourself morning, noon, and night. Sunrise. Sunset.

Xo jess”

It’s a virtual lovefest between Jessica and Ashlee Simpson’s boyfriends. “Pete’s great, he’s a really laid back, cool guy,” Tony Romo told In Touch recently. And now Pete Wentz says he feels the same about the Dallas Cowboys star, even though they have almost nothing in common except the Simpson sisters. “It is like the jock and the nerd hanging out,” Pete joked to In Touch. “I am trying to get him to teach me to throw a football.” But regular male bonding sessions have been tough to organize, the Fall Out Boy bassist admits. “We really aren’t ever in the same place at the same time to double-date,” Pete said at the Wayne Hadly clothing collection viewing at Scout in LA on March 15. Still, he thinks Jessica and Tony are a good match. “They are happy and seem great together,” said Pete.

If Ashlee Simpson was exhausted by the time she arrived at Miami hot spot Mansion for her live performance at 12:45 a.m. on March 8, it’s hardly surprising. According to a witness who saw Ashlee and her entourage hanging out by the pool of the Shore Club earlier that day, the pop star had been partying since 3 in the afternoon.

“She had been drinking all day and was even talking about how hard she’d partied the night before,” says the witness. “She was loud and seemed drunk. She was drinking both Russian Standard vodka and Johnny Walker Black.” Before arriving at Mansion, Ashlee had dinner with 12 pals (including beau Pete Wentz) at Social, where they polished off a whopping three bottles of Imperia vodka, says an onlooker. Ashlee, 23, was “totally trashed,” says a witness.

While performing, “she seemed to forget the lyrics a few times,” the witness says. “She tried to cover for it by hiding her mouth and doing tricks like cartwheels and a backflip.” Before leaving the club, she had one last glass of champagne.
