When friends go on vacation for a much-needed break, the only thing they should worry about is packing enough sunblock and giving themselves ample time to get ready before hitting the clubs.
Unless, of course, you're Silver (Jessica Stroup) and Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes), and the boy you are fighting over is on vacation with you in steamy Mexico. Looks like their feud reaches the boiling point, right in front of Navid (Michael Steger), but does someone actually take a swing?
Looks like Silver does! But it's not so much as a swing, but a full-on push! If we know good television, then we predict someone is going into that pool. Who do you think will come out on top of this catfight? Don't worry, you'll find out April 18 when 90210 returns with an all-new episode, awesomely titled "The Enchanted Donkey."
Jessica Simpson is getting married to former NFL player Eric Johnson, and we have to ask ourselves whether or not her engagement is going to get her career back on track.
Indeed, Tony Romo's ex-girlfriend seems like she's more famous these days for her social life - and for just being hot - than she is for the music career that made her a star in the late 1990s.
You do remember her music career, right?
No?
Well then, this slideshow is for you. Here's a quick recap of Jessica Simpson's life over the last decade.

You do remember her music career, right?
No?
Well then, this slideshow is for you. Here's a quick recap of Jessica Simpson's life over the last decade.
Begin SlideshowSimpson became a pop superstar back in 1999, when she released a single called "I Wanna Love You Forever" that made it as far as No. 3 on the Billboard charts.
Not long after that, her debut album Sweet Kisses was released, and she started dating fellow pop music star Nick Lachey, from the boy band 98 Degrees.
From there, a new trend would begin that would come to define both her music and her personal life.
Despite the fact her first album Sweet Kisses went double platinum, Columbia Records execs felt that Simpson simply did not have the same kind of sexy appeal as her contemporaries Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Her follow-up album Irresistable dropped in 2001 and sold 127,000 copies in its first week. It has sold 3 million copies since.
In other words, it would appear that Columbia's decision to go sexier worked.
Simpson and Lachey, meanwhile, had split momentarily following a two-year relationship, but would reconcile things after the 9/11 attacks.
Claimed Simpson, " "After 9/11, I knew that I never ever wanted to be away from Nick ever for the rest of my life."
Their make-up laid the seed for a media crossover.
Simpson and Lachey eventually got married in 2002, and she famously went on record saying that she had remained a virgin until marriage.
If she says so.
In any case, their married life was document in an MTV reality show called Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. The show originally aired in the summer of 2003.
The show became a pop culture phenomenon, and is credited as the key force in making Jessica Simpson a household name.
But we can also look back on it now and pinpoint it as the reason we now view Simpson as a bit of a ditz.
After all, who can forget the infamous "Chicken of the Sea" exchange?
Simpson also released an album in August of that year called In This Skin, which did not sell as well as Irresistable.
Simpson made the jump from reality star to movie star in the summer of 2005 as Daisy Duke in the Hollywood remake of The Dukes of Hazard. She was later nominated for a Razzie for worst actress.
Nevertheless, the film was No. 1 at the box office in its opening weekend, officially heralding Simpson as one of the biggest multimedia stars on the planet.
She also recorded a cover of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" for the film's soundtrack, which peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Top 100.
In November of 2005, mere months after the success of The Dukes of Hazzard, Simpson and Lachey announced they had separated, a move that obliged a flurry of tabloid speculation that had been swirling for months.
The two filed for divorce in December, citing "irreconcilable differences."
It was finalized in June of 2006, and Simpson was officially single once again.
Simpson's name was linked to several other big-name stars following her split from Lachey. Among her various liaisons was an on-and-off relationship with John Mayer, Dane Cook, and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.
Meanwhile, her career began to crumble.
She switched from Columbia to Epic Records for her next album, A Public Affair. The album has sold just 300,000 copies domestically, a far cry from the success of her previous albums.
She also starred in her second Hollywood film opposite Dane Cook, Employee of the Month. Nobody saw the movie, and even fewer people thought it was any good. She was nominated for her second Razzie.
She also made headlines for botching some lyrics during a performance at a tribute to Dolly Parton.

Jessica Simpson conquered yet another frontier when she moved into the sports world by starting a relationship with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo in November of 2007.
The relationship was frowned upon by many Cowboys fans, who blamed Simpson for Romo's poor play on the field. Some went so far as to start calling her "Yoko Ono," who may or may not have broken up The Beatles.
Even President Bush talked of a "Jessica jinx" when the Cowboys lost to the Giants in the 2008 playoffs.
In the summer of 2008 Simpson, a native Texan, released a country single called "Come On Over." It was very popular right away, debuting at No. 41 on the charts, and peaking at No. 18 on the country music charts.
Do You Know, Simpson's first country album, was released late in 2008 and became the first No. 1 album of her career.
In July of 2009, it was reported that Simpson and Romo were officially ending their relationship, news that fairly satisfied Cowboys fans everywhere.
Earlier that year, Simpson's latest film Major Movie Star was released straight to DVD.
Early in 2010, Simpson announced that she would be producing her new album on her own. In addition, she was also on the prowl for more "intellectual" film roles.
She released the first Greatest Hits album of her career in October, a classic money grab that is usually reserved for well after a singer has heard the death knell of his or her career.
In May of this year, Simpson announced that she was dating former NFL tight end Eric Johnson, who had separated with his wife of five years in 2009.
About ten days ago, Nick Lachey announced that he was getting married to his longtime girlfriend.
How convenient then, that today's news that Simpson and Johnson are going to get married came so hot on the heels of Lachey's news?
So that brings us up to date. The now 30-year-old Simpson is heading towards her second marriage, and is going to take her second dance with an NFL product all the way.
So how about it, folks? Can Jessica Simpson's second marriage save her sagging career? Or are we going to continue to view her merely as an obnoxious socialite?

Who knows, maybe Nick Lachey is angling for a wedding invite?
A day after finding his own engagement news suddenly upstaged by ex-wife Jessica Simpson's, Nick Lachey is keeping things downright pleasant.
What was his message to Jessica and fiancé Eric Johnson?
MORE: See what you don't know about Jessica's new man
"I wish her the very best," he said in a statement to E! News.
That mirrors what Jess had to say after he and Vanessa Minillo got betrothed last week. "I am extremely, extremely happy for him," Jessica said while phoning in to Ryan Seacrest's radio show.
"My mom actually called me and said that everyone was saying that I was 'saddened.' I was just in complete shock. I couldn't be more happy for Nick. Our relationship was over a really long time ago, and it would be nice if everyone could move on with us and really just celebrate the love between him and Vanessa. I do, and I wish them nothing but the best."
Nick and Jessica broke up in 2005. But based on their mutual well-wishes, maybe there's a double date in their future?

Do you know who Jessica Simpson is? There’s a chance you’ve had a guilty orgasm over her with your palm after seeing her in one of her revealing outfits. Just because you puked on yourself during your onanistic bout doesn’t get you off the hook. You’re still a weirdo for jacking off over someone who has a peculiarly wide face.
Anyway, Simpson is getting married again, which must be thrilling news for you… if you’re a maker of wedding cakes to the celebrity world.
And thank the stars that John Mayer isn’t on Twitter any more, or we’d have to include all his dribblings and abuse directed toward his ex-wife in a barely humorous story.
So yeah, Jessica Simpson, is now engaged to former NFL player Eric Johnson. If you live in Britain, it’s almost a certainty that you’ve never heard of this man. Americans, imagine us telling you that Cheryl Cole was getting married to Zat Knight. You’d be absolutely nonplussed, right?
Anyway, Simpson is getting married to this no-mark, which is perfectly timed as Jessica’s ex, Nick Lachey, just so happened to get engaged to Vanessa Minnillo.
A whole cavalcade of names that mean nothing to everyone! How marvellous!
Jessica Simpson is now sporting a ruby, diamond and gold engagement ring from jeweller to the stars Neil Lane, someone else you will have never heard of, and will show it off when she performs for some Thanksgiving thing in New York which again, no-one will watch.
We can only hope that she conducts this whole sorry affair via a television programme, just like she did with the doomed relationship she displayed in MTV reality show ‘Newlyweds’. That’d be good wouldn’t it? We could all look for the cracks in her psyche before she even gets a chance to spot them.
The bride-to-be’s father, Joe Simpson, posted his good wishes on Twitter.
“So very happy for Jess and Eric. May they have a lifetime of joy and happiness.”
You can assume he posted his real thoughts on the whole thing in a direct message to someone.
And Jessica loves this new bloke, who she’s only been seeing for 7 months, because he’s…
“just normal, thank God. He’s very, very supportive.”
Ladies and Gentlefolk! Welcome to the most irrelevant wedding of the year! Jesus… you might as well tell us about some wedding you went to over the weekend which involved no-one famous as well.
Did you have a dance to Come On Eileen? Did you see someone puking up wedding cake out of their nose? Why don’t you tell us in the comments.

But this got me thinking and when that happens, it usually results in a slide show with a lot of hot women. So I have decided a list of those women that will be off the market soon because of impending marriages or long-

Hollywood actress Jessica Simpson has got engaged to her boyfriend Eric Johnson, her representative said.
'Yes, I am excited to confirm that they are engaged,' femalefirst.co.uk quoted her representative as saying.
The 30-year-old star - who was previously married to Nick Lachey for three years until they split in 2005 - showed off her diamond engagement ring during a photocall in Kansas while promoting her Jessica Simpson Collection fashion line.
The 'Come On Over' hitmaker began dating Eric in May, three months after the American football player filed for divorce from stylist Keri Johnson.
News of Jessica's engagement comes just weeks after her ex-husband Nick announced he is set to marry his current partner, Vanessa Minnillo.

Dozens of area veterans gathered Wednesday at Williamstown High School as part of the school's annual Veterans Day celebration.
Nearly 50 veterans, with service hailing from World War II to recent service overseas, attended the hour-long ceremony. The event was part of the statewide Take a Veteran to School project.
This year's keynote speaker was Jessica Lynch, who was a private first class in the U.S. Army when she was captured in Iraq during the Iraqi War in March 2003 when her convoy was attacked.
Lynch is one of seven prisoners of war who have participated in West Virginia's Take a Vet program since 2008.
Lynch spoke candidly about her time in the military, from her fear and excitement when she shipped off to basic training only a week after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, to the pain and hurdles she still faces from the injuries she sustained in Iraq.
"Perseverance is my life motto," she said.
Lynch spent nine days in Iraqi custody with severe injuries ranging from cracked ribs to a broken back to a severely crushed right foot. At one point, Lynch said, she fought with her captors to prevent doctors from amputating her leg.
Even after she was rescued, Lynch said the mental wounds made the physical wounds seem almost impossible to overcome.
"When I looked down at my broken body, it wasn't me. All I saw was a broken soldier," she said. "It took months for me to look into the mirror and accept it was me."
But Lynch said when she began rehabilitation, she saw other soldiers with injuries more severe than her own who worked tirelessly to recover.
Those soldiers, she said, became her inspiration.
"They persevered," she said. "They kept that hospital alive."
Lynch said she still struggles with the aftermath of her injuries. She has undergone 20 surgeries and said more are likely. She still undergoes physical therapy. She wears a brace to help support her left leg and said her right foot remains heavily damaged, preventing her from ever wearing flip-flops or high heels.
"It sounds crazy, but it's those little things that I truly miss," she said.
Lynch said she is nearly finished getting her degree in education and looks forward to teaching in the classroom. Lynch also gave birth to a baby girl in 2007 and said she feels blessed in her life.
"I know that Iraq is in the past," she said. "That little girl is my future."
Lynch summed up what many of the area's veterans have said in the past.
"I am so thankful I'm alive," she said. "I'm thankful I was an American soldier."

According to The National Enquirer, Jessica Simpson might be pregnant. They say that one of the star’s friends came to them last month and told them that Simpson and her husband are about to become parents:” Jessica is crazy in love with Eric, so they’ve decided to make a baby. She always said she wanted to be pregnant by the time she was 30. Her priorities have changed and all she can think of is motherhood. She’s happily eating for two- and she’s not in the least embarrassed.”
Simpson’s pregnancy would certainly explain her gaining some weight in the last period of time. Another friend of her said :” A pregnancy explains her sudden weight gain. Two months ago, she bragged she was in the best shape of her life on Eric’s vegan diet. The biggest tipoff though is that Jess has been hinting to friends that there will be some big news any day from her and Eric.”
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have been dating since May, and recently, the couple went to Italy to celebrate Jessica’s 30th birthday. They seem to spend a lot of their time together and give the impression of a healthy and happy relationship.
At the beginning of this month, Simpson vomited during one of her shows, which led everyone to the conclusion that rumors about her pregnancy might actually be true. A few days ago she stated that she is eager to start a family with her boyfriend Eric and would want to give birth to a baby.
” I’ve never been in such a healthy relationship. I’m like ‘Something’s going to go wrong. Is he going to trip me or something?”, Jessica Simpson said on Tuesday.

At the beginning of this month, Simpson vomited during one of her shows, which led everyone to the conclusion that rumors about her pregnancy might actually be true. A few days ago she stated that she is eager to start a family with her boyfriend Eric and would want to give birth to a baby.
” I’ve never been in such a healthy relationship. I’m like ‘Something’s going to go wrong. Is he going to trip me or something?”, Jessica Simpson said on Tuesday.
Stepping out for a good time, Irina Sheik was spotted at Lavo at the Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday (June 25).
The 24-year-old sexy model looked super hot in a low-cut, white patterned dress and nude heels as she posed for pictures before heading inside for the shindig.
Ms Shiek was in attendance helping fellow model and good friend Jessica White celebrate her 26th birthday.
The beautiful Irina is a fashion model perhaps best known for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue beginning in 2007 and as the face of lingerie brand Intimissimi.
