“Will Jessica Simpson be a runaway bride?” asks Star, which has been spreading false stories about the fashion entrepreneur and her fiance Eric Johnson for a long time.

According to the tabloid, Simpson has “a serious case of cold feet” in terms of marrying Johnson.

“Jessica is bored,” a so-called “close confidant” tells Star. “Eric is a very nice guy, but he’s far from accomplished and even farther from exciting!”

Um, if Simpson is so “bored” with Johnson, why has she had two children with him?

Star claims they “didn’t have the most romantic start to their relationship.”

“Eric was her rebound from Tony Romo,” explains the tabloid’s insider. “She probably wouldn’t have stayed with Eric if she hadn’t gotten pregnant.”

Again, she got pregnant twice.

Simpson obviously likes being with Johnson — and to imply their years-long relationship is some kind of accident is as insulting as it is demonstrably wrong.

Of course, reality frequently gets in the way of Star stories about the couple.

A source close to the situation tells Gossip Cop the latest report is “totally false.”

Jessica Simpson is “firing female staffers” so that fiancé Eric Johnson “won’t be tempted to stray,” reports Star.

The tabloid falsely claimed a year ago that Johnson cheated on Simpson with his ex-wife Keri, and followed up that mistake with bogus rumor after bogus rumor about the couple.

So it’s no surprise that Star is still getting stuff wrong.

According to a “source” for the magazine, “Jessica is away a lot for work, so that leaves Eric at home with the kids and staff. She doesn’t want him to have any pretty girls around.”

Star says Simpson “even let go of a longtime employee and family friend because she feared Eric was flirting too much.”

“Eric is as loyal as a golden retriever, but she doesn’t want to take any chances,” explains the tab’s insider.

Uh-huh.

An actual source close to the couple tells Gossip Cop the Star report is “not true.”

Us Weekly claims Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are set to marry next May in Capri, Italy.

The outlet — which wrongly reported that the couple hoped to marry on New Year’s Eve 2010 in Cabo San Lucas — takes another speculative stab at their wedding plans this week, insisting that Simpson and Johnson have “finally set a date.”

They purportedly chose Capri because they celebrated Simpson’s 30th birthday there in July 2010, and the island “holds big memories for the duo.”

We’re sure it does.

But Simpson and Johnson have NOT made specific plans for their nuptials, despite this latest speculation.

A source close to the couple tells Gossip Cop, “No wedding details are set.”
