Jessica Simpson Gives Birth To Baby Girl

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Jessica Simpson has given birth to a baby girl more than a week past her due date.

"Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson (9 lbs. 13 oz., 21 3/4"). We are so grateful for all of the love, support and prayers we have received. This has been the greatest experience of our lives," Simpson posted on her Web site Tuesday morning.

It's the first child for 31-year-old Simpson and her fiance, Eric Johnson. The two announced their engagement last year.

"Has Jessica Simpson had that baby yet?! I'm getting anxious," Katy Perry recently tweeted.

Comedian Chelsea Handler took to Twitter with the same question: "How has jessica simpson still not given birth to this baby? I'm getting frightened."

Simpson currently stars as a mentor on NBC's "Fashion Star".
