Jessica Simpson throws baby shower

Pregnant Jessica Simpson celebrated the imminent arrival of her second child with a literary-themed baby shower in Los Angeles on Sunday (14Apr13).

The singer is expecting a baby boy this summer (13), and family and friends, including her sister Ashlee and close pal Jessica Alba, joined the star at the Bel-Air Hotel for the event, inspired by novelist Mark Twain's adventurous character Tom Sawyer.

Simpson already has a 11-month-old daughter Maxwell with her partner Eric Johnson.
