Tonight is the premiere of a new travel tv show, Man Shops Globe, where a buyer for Anthropologie travels the world in pursuit of quirky furniture and products for the chain store. Is it just us, or are floofy travel shows taking over tv? Even if you don't think so now, you will after the news that Jessica Simpson is getting her own travel show, The Price of Beauty.

With Jessica as a host, the series will focus on beauty regimens around the world, and how the concept of beauty varies from culture to culture. Although the series won't air until 2010, hype begins now as Jessica is in the process of shooting the episodes around the world. She's already been to a fattening hut in Uganda and a geisha house in Japan, and she's en route to her next stop of Morocco currently. When "The Price of Beauty" eventually does air, you can find it on VH1, natch.

We're in the doldrums of February right now and some days it's hard enough to leave the house, let alone travel somewhere. We know. We're feeling it. But things aren't going to be like this forever!

Look around you. Do you have an adorable dog? Did you just get back from a tropical vacation? Are you chowing down on some fast food or meeting your lover at the airport? Well, you've got that going for you. You could smile even while you know everyone in the world is watching you... but then we'll think you're crazy.

Last week Ryanair announced it would start fining passengers for taking more than one carry-on bag aboard. We don't imagine a lot of A-listers are taking Europe's cheapest airline, but if they did, who would rise to the challenge and who would be digging in their pockets for that £30 ($42) fee?

Anne Hathaway conquers the clutter with one tiny purse -- even her man-friend has a bigger bag! Kate Winslet's elegant handbag makes it easy for her to sign autographs for her fans and talk on her phone at LAX. Vanessa Hudgens looks a little weighted down by her huge bag, but she managed to keep it to one -- for an LAX-Tokyo flight, nonetheless!

But not every celeb can get down to that one bag. Bar Refaeli's pair of a blue purse and roller makes her a light packer, but a heavy overhead-bin user. Hayden Panettiere's super-chic belted bag (complete with seatbelt buckle) wouldn't fool a gate agent into thinking she was only toting a purse. And Jessica Simpson's second piece can't be checked -- she'd be paying a fat fine for her Maltipoo Daisy.

Into every trip, a little rain must fall. There's nothing to do but grin and bare it, whether you are a surprisingly placid Paris Hilton in line at Sydney's Kingsford Smith International Airport or Neil Patrick Harris spreading good cheer at LAX. Sure, you could make a Kate Moss stankface when you get wanded at security, but what good will that do?

Cameron Diaz and "Grey's Anatomy"'s T.R. Knight were loaded down with bags, but Jessica Simpson and her pet football player Tony Romo looked lighter than air--even though his team, the one she supposedly jinxed, is out of the playoffs.

Make sure to bring him back before campfire! Tony Romo got a special treat at NFL training camp when girlfriend Jessica Simpson came to take him out to dinner Wednesday. What, no s'mores?

For all the noise about how Simpson jinxed Romo in the playoffs, we suspect it may be the other way around: Since they got together, Jessica has decided to be a country-music singer, for which she was booed at a concert in Wisconsin and roundly mocked the world over. (We haven't heard the album, so we don't know the difference.)

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo look about as discombobulated as we do as they stumbled off a plane in San Diego recently. Jessica's lucky one of this season's in maxidresses is long enough to keep her warm on the coldest plane.

The heat's been off Simpson the Elder since Ashlee was married to Fall Out Boy singer Pete Wentz and announced her "surprise" pregnancy, but she's been re-establishing herself as a country music singer at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Tennessee.

No word yet on whether Mr. Romo joined her at the four-day summer fest or even likes country music.

Today Jessica Simpson is headlining the Operation MySpace concert in Kuwait, but is her performance going to be worth the boatloads of money it is going to cost to get Jessica from the US to Kuwait and back, at a comfort level she is accustom to?

According to those omniscient "sources," a private plane will take Simpson, her dad, and her hairstylist, Ken Paves, to Kuwait for approximately $150,000. Once in Kuwait "sources" claim Jessica will be unlikely to bunk with the troops and more likely to sleep in a proper hotel bed. Oh and Paves gets a whopping $10,000 a day just for waking up in Kuwait, so say sources. Damn. Thank God for all that MySpace cash Murdoch gave Tom, huh?

Somehow we knew the girl that was photographed about to put her dog through an x-ray machine didn't hop on the first available Jazeera Airways flight to Kuwait.
