Jessica Simpson isn't ready to fully show off her new and possibly slimmer body ... going out in only non-revealing clothing and clutching a big bag close to her body.

TMZ posted pics of Jess earlier this week ... wearing multiple layers of clothing and holding a giant brown bag. Just this morning at LAX, Jess jetted out of town sporting a similar look, this time with a giant black bag.

Of course, Jess is no fool -- she's scheduled to appear on Katie Couric's new show this week to debut her slender, post-baby body ... so she's in no hurry to ruin that moment.

Clever girl.

Liberty Ross, still the wife of philandering director Rupert Sanders, flashed her toned gams at an Alexander Wang event for Fashion Week last night in New York.

The event featured such guests as Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld, Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief Glenda Bailey, and Vogue senior editor Meredith Melling Burke.

Ross has been seen out several times since it became known her husband had an affair with "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart, whom he directed in the film, "Snow White and the Huntsman."

Back in 1990, Barack Obama was a 29-year-old Harvard Law student and 43-year-old Mitt Romney was working at Bain Capital.

But now Barack, 51, and Mitt, 65, are in the final months of campaigning for the Presidential election.

The question is...

Brunette babes Selena Gomez, 20, and Vanessa Hudgens, 23, glammed it up at the "Spring Breakers" premiere in Venice, Italy on Wednesday.

In a historic moment, President Barack Obama and President Bill Clinton joined forces on the same stage at the Democratic National Convention this week.

Here's bestselling "Fifty Shades of Grey" author E.L. James in London on Thursday (left) -- and President Clinton's infamous intern Monica Lewinsky back in 2002 (right).

One is famous for creating explicit erotic scenes in an obsessive S+M relationship.

MTV is hosting an awards show to honor something called a "music video" ... something that hasn't been seen on MTV in years.

The trend of wearing a neck brace is officially over ... at least for Kristin Chenoweth.

After being injured on the set of "The Good Wife" in July and then wearing (and removing) a neck brace in public in August, the petite 44-year-old hit up the DL1961 Premium Denim fashion show in NYC last night completely brace free.

Kristin knows good health is the best accessory.

Steven Tyler got an X-rated peep show at a clothing optional beach in Maui this weekend ... but the former "American Idol" judge kept it strictly PG by leaving his fancy women's palazzo pants on amongst a sea of bare-ass sunbathers.

The 64-year-old Aerosmith front man is so enamored with the silky slacks that he was spotted still wearing them the very next day.

With her gold medal-winning partner Misty May-Treanor in retirement, Olympic volleyball champ Kerri Walsh returned to the sand with a brand new lady this week -- where the two plotted their inevitable world takeover.

The photos were snapped Tuesday -- Kerry and her new partner Nicole Branagh tested their chemistry during a practice session in Hermosa Beach ... and they killed it.

Unfortunately, they still got some kinks to work out -- the duo lost their most recent volleyball tournament last weekend ... to the chicks who took silver at the London Olympics.

FYI -- Misty might be throwing in the towel, but Kerri and her new girl are planning to go for gold at the Rio Olympics in 2016. It will be Kerri's 4th gold medal.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley has done the unthinkable ... HE CHOPPED OFF HIS FLOWING GOLDEN LOCKS!!!

TMZ obtained photos of a shorn Triple H posing for pics with fans outside Titan Tower in Connecticut earlier today ... barely recognizable without his signature mane.

Triple H had rocked the long hair ever since he debuted in the WWE in 1995 ... it's unclear when he decided to hack it off.

But ... HHH has been contemplating hanging up his tights ever since he lost to Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam ... and now the new 'do could be a sign that he's decided to leave the ring for good and commit to his corporate job with the WWE.

Still, we gotta ask ...

Jessica Simpson proved getting back to her pre-baby weight is a losing battle ... by showing off her slimmer figure after another workout in L.A. on Tuesday.

Jess has griped about how tough it's been to shed the poundage ... claiming her boobs are so tremendously huge, she can't go jogging.

Still, it's obvious the 32-year-old mom has made some progress in the four months since she gave birth to daughter Maxwell.

Jessica Simpson has two huge obstacles to overcome on her quest for her old bod ... her giant boobs ... 'cause Jessica says they've gotten so big, she can't go running.

Simpson is finally discussing her tremendous weight gain to People.com, claiming she packed on the pounds during her pregnancy because "It was the first time I was ever pregnant, and I wanted to enjoy it."

Jess says she loaded up on mac and cheese and other crap that's delicious but terrible for you ... because "I didn't realize [the weight] didn't all come off with the baby."

Of course she didn't.

Now, Simpson is working out with a fancy Hollywood trainer ... but refuses to go running because she doesn't want to end up with two self-induced black eyes ...saying, "My boobs are way too big to run at this point."

Despite all the fatness, Simpson is committed to revealing her new, skinnier, Weight-Watchers assisted body on September 10 ... on Katie Couric's new show. Can't wait.

Unlike the bloodless vampire she plays on screen, 24-year-old "Twilight" star Nikki Reed showed off her sexy tan in Hawaii this weekend ... wearing a smoking hot bikini while on a stroll with her husband.

(Fun fact: Nikki's husband is former "American Idol" contestant Paul McDonald, who placed 8th on Season 10.)

Buxom child bride Courtney Stodden just turned 18 (EIGHTEEN!) and has been offered multiple deals to do porn, while orange 20-year-old former "Wife Swap" star Alicia Guastaferro (seen here in her glamorous mug shot) was just arrested for alleged prostitution last week.

Question is ...

After shedding his baby weight in the last few years, former "Drake and Josh" star Josh Peck showed off his worked out svelte physique on the beach in Hawaii this weekend.

The 25-year-old former child star has grown up into quite the handsome man.

Josh is definitely enjoying his moment in the sun.
