A source tells the new Us Weekly (out now) that Jessica Simpson is "flipping out" after UsMagazine.com broke the news that her ex, Nick Lachey, is engaged.

But the singer, 30, sang a different tune on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show when asked for her reaction.

"I am extremely, extremely happy for him," she said in the interview, released Thursday morning. "I don't know where all those rumors came from. 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 [Minnillo]," she went on. "I do, and I really wish them nothing but the best"

Simpson says she's content with her beau, former NFL star Eric Johnson.

    It's really none of her business. It would be a lot classier if she kept quiet.

    That's nice Jessica-now focus on losing a little weight and stop being so desperate to find someone. I wonder why she is so insecure? She is becoming a hot mess quickly. She has plenty of time and money to get her head together.

    "Having a boyfriend through the holidays, we're going to see how all that splits up." Bad choice of words since her last boyfriend broke up with her on her bday!

    somehow I believed that she truly saddened by Nick engagement.. I do believe that at some other nights she regrets divorcing Nick, but she's too embarrassed to apologize or try to get back to him.. maybe that's why her relationships with other men never last.. she sabotage herself bcoz deep in her heart, i think she still love Nick.. I prefer them together though, there's a chemistry I don't get from Vanessa and nick.. But we'll never know what will happen so let's see.
