Jessica Simpson Describes Her ‘Therapy’

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger: That’s one lesson Jessica Simpson has taken to heart.

After some rough patches, the star who recently turned 30 and is dating former NFL player Eric Johnson, finally feels on top of the world.

“I’m very happy. Right now in my life, I’m the most confident I’ve ever been. I can make that statement,” she told PEOPLE candidly at a private dinner in L.A. this week celebrating her appearance on September cover of Lucky magazine.

Yes, it’s been a road of ups and downs, but the star – who has also designed a clothing line called the Jessica Simpson Collection – has worked through issues that previously plagued her.

“I really believe that somebody should just sit in front of their best friend in the world and have their friend ask any and every question – offensive or not. And whatever it is, answer it,” she advises. “That’s your therapy. Really tackling those issues inside and out.”

And that’s exactly what Simpson has done to get herself to a good place (and past those mom jeans!).

What Lindsay Lohan Can Expect in Jail

Lindsay Lohan will soon be trading in her designer duds for a stiff cotton Los Angeles County Jail jumpsuit come her three-month sentence, likely to be served at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif.

Legal experts say she’ll likely serve between two weeks to a month due to the sheriff’s long-standing policy of releasing nonviolent offenders early due to overcrowding, presuming she’ll also get time off for good behavior. She is due to surrender to the court and begin her sentence on July 20.

Paris Hilton served 23 days of a 45-day sentence at the same jailfor violating her probation in a DUI case and was sprung early for good behavior.

“I was basically in the fetal position, basically in hysterics,” Hilton told PEOPLE at the time of her first sleepless nights in jail. As for her fellow inmates, she said, “All of the inmates were very supportive. There were girls next to me. We could talk through the vents and they were just really sweet.”

Photographed and Fingerprinted

As with all other prisoners, Lohan, 24, will be photographed, fingerprinted and searched upon entry at the facility, which currently holds about 1,800 inmates, all of them female, says L.A. sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore.

After being placed in a holding area with other detainees, Lohan will eventually be assigned a 12-by-8 cell that features two bunks (with 4-inch thick foam mattresses covered in green vinyl), a toilet, sink, a stool and a small tabletop. The only glimpse of the outside world is through a narrow six-inch window.

Whitmore said that Lohan would likely be segregated from the general population “for her protection as well as the jail staff.”

Making love on screen is rarely easy, but actress Callie Thorne found playing oppositeCalifornication‘s David Duchovny was a piece of cake – thanks to her leading man.

“I was a big sweaty mess because it’s nerve racking enough doing a guest spot on something and then to have it be [a sex scene], but David made me feel very comfortable,” Thorne, 40, who guest-starred on his Showtime series, told PEOPLE at the season-six premiere of her FX show Rescue Me.

“By the time we situated ourselves under the covers, I took my robe off … and by the time we shot it, David was making me laugh so hard that it didn’t cross my mind that we were in this really strange situation,” she says.

“As far as sex scenes go, I had a blast because I was laughing so much. I think he figured out that I needed to laugh, so he made me laugh and I was very comfortable.”

Both her Californication character and the storyline are a departure from Sheila Keefe, the 9/11 widow Thorne plays on Rescue Me. In her guest-star episode, Duchovny, 49, “is sleeping with my daughter and with me. The twist question is, whether he knows he’s sleeping with both of us,” she says.

Prince Harry Begins His U.S. Trip with a Bang

Prince Harry spent his first few hours in New York on Friday visiting with some of the people he admires most: young cadets at West Point. The prince arrived by helicopter just after 1:30 p.m. and kicked off his three-day trip to the Big Apple with some live-fire exercises on the artillery range.

Trading his baby blue beret for a helmet, Harry and a team of West Point cadets fired M-4 assault rifles at pop-up silhouette targets from 15 to 300 meters away. Harry’s experience serving on the frontlines in Afghanistan as an air controller for 10 weeks in 2008 – a media leak forced him to head home – has helped him hone his shot.
