Jessica Simpson is making the rounds doing as much publicity as she can for her upcoming country album Do You Know, which comes out September 9th. She’s on the cover of the upcoming issue of Elle magazine, and has an interview as well. Jessica prattles on about loves past and present, then gets to talking about her CD. She says that all the songs are based on something that’s happened to her (she doesn’t claim writing credit). One of the songs is about abuse, and when the reporter asks her if that song also happened, she clams up a bit but says yes.

“There’s nothing on my album that you’re gonna hear that I don’t relate to or that I haven’t experienced. Because the only way I know how to sing is from life experience.”

For instance, one of her new tracks, “Remember That,” contains the lyrics, “It doesn’t matter how he hurts you / With his hands or with his words / You don’t deserve it / It ain’t worth it / Take your heart and run.”

She’s reluctant, however, to divulge details about what led to recording such a song.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” says Jessica. “But I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run.”

Well it’s not exactly the Dixie Chicks “Earl Had to Die,” in terms of the lyrics, and Jessica’s confirmation is rather vague, but it does make you wonder. By most accounts ex-husband Nick Lachey was Simpson’s first boyfriend, however on an episode of The Newlyweds she talked about someone she called her “first boyfriend” who cheated on her with Leann Rimes. The man in question ended up being Days of Our Lives actor Jensen Ackles. Most of her relationships have been pretty public, but there’s a chance she’s talking about someone else that she dated quietly for a short period of time.

What woman in her right mind would want to buy shoes designed by Paris Hilton? Unless she was designing some specialty line made for women with very large feet (Paris wears a size 11), or drag queens, I can’t imagine who would possibly be interested. The shoes are actually not ugly, though they don’t strike me as anything special either. And I’m guessing Paris didn’t have a thing to do with them, other than slapping her name on the box.

Paris Hilton debuted her new fall shoe collection at the Las Vegas Macy’s Fashion Show on Tuesday.

Paris, dressed in a soft, baby-blue gown, showed off her trendy new shoes at the event.

The new collection features a wide range of footwear, everything from platform stilettos, pumps and knee-high boots to flats, t-straps, and ankle boots.

Paris was inspired by the high-fashion runways in New York, London, Paris and Milan. The shoes mix “all things girly with a whole lotta rock-n-roll,” according to Thevegaseye.com.

The first 300 people that purchased Hilton shoes between July 19 and July 29 at the fashion show were given the opportunity to meet the star and receive a signed photo when she appeared in person on Tuesday.

Paris Hilton Footwear Collection shoes are sold at Macy’s, Kitson, Bakers and online at Zappos.com and Endless.com. Suggested retail prices range from $59 to $195.

Paris has often lamented her size 11s – which are relatively large considering her height is generally reported to be around 5’7 to 5’7 ½. She’s noted that many of her favorite designers don’t carry shoes in her size and have to custom make them for her. I doubt they’d do that for the average buyer, so everything considered she’s pretty lucky.
