She recently said she was planning to lose weight for her wedding by ‘dancing around her bedroom’. But it seems Jessica Simpson is also exploring other ways to shed the pounds before she marries fiancé Eric Johnson. The 30-year-old singer was seen enjoying a tandem bike ride with Johnson and a group of friends as they pedalled their way along the Venice boardwalk.

Wearing a pair of denim shorts, white vest top and cowboy boots teamed with a khaki jacket and trendy headscarf, Jessica grinned with delight as Johnson took charge of steering the vehicle.

Jessica Simpson: Singer, Actress, and Designer (Operation Smile)

Eight years ago I became an international youth ambassador for Operation Smile, a charity that has helped more than 160,000 children with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities. I love children, and at that time I felt like I needed to stop fixating on the drama in my own life and do something for someone else. Since then I’ve traveled to Kenya and India with Operation Smile and have been with kids during corrective surgeries. Normally I’m squeamish, but when you know an operation is changing someone’s life, it’s empowering to watch. A lot of babies and kids with cleft palates can’t be fed properly, and in some countries parents give up kids with facial deformities because they’re ashamed of them. More than 200,000 children are born with severe cleft conditions every year. Operation Smile gives kids the chance to express what they’re feeling — to frown when they are sad, to smile when they are happy, to show their emotions to the world.

It’s rare that I meet a bride who isn’t focused on getting in shape before the big day. Whether it’s adopting a healthy diet or ramping up workouts, many brides-to-be vow to get in shape before saying their “I dos.” Keeping with this tradition, it was announced in February that Tracy Anderson was working out with Jessica Simpson before her upcoming wedding to Eric Johnson. This week, however, Jessica told Us Weekly that she’s done following any sort of fitness routine:

“I just have to work out on my own. There is no regimen I need to follow. There’s no diet I need to follow. I just need to do some things for myself and that’s it. And that will make me feel the happiest . . . No exercise is fun! I am going to dance around my bedroom and hopefully lose some weight — and lift some weights and do what I can!”

Based on what Jessica said, it seems she may have parted ways with Tracy, or, better still, it’s a savvy way to get the attention off of her body. Keep in mind that a few months ago she tweeted, “Yes, I am working out, but why is that worth any sorta [sic] press? I always take care of myself. Eric and I could get married right now in sweats!”

Whatever the real reason, it’s nice to hear that she’s not feeling a need to slim down before her wedding. Especially since the idea of a “bridal bootcamp” is becoming more of a reality than an option.

Jessica Simpson has released seven studio albums, starred in two reality television shows, six films, and founded a billion-dollar, self-titled fashion empire that sells everything from outerwear, jeans and jewelry to bags, shoes and dresses worldwide.

So what could possibly be next for the 30-year-old star?

“A line of popsicles! A popsicle would be really good right now,” Simpson told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column while being honored as Style Icon of the Year at Us Weekly’s Hot Hollywood party on Tuesday evening.

Simpson said popsicles definitely trump a long Broadway run, the timeworn venue for actors and singers looking to leave their comfort zone.

“[I wouldn’t do Broadway] because I like to always switch it up, I can’t stay in a regimen,” she said. “A line of popsicles would be a lot easier.”

Simpson is also busy organizing her upcoming nuptials to former NFL player, Eric Johnson, and but apparently she’s the one putting in the all the work. “I’m planning my own, who doesn’t plan their own wedding?,” she said. “The best part is that my groom will say ‘I do.’”

Once she’s hitched, her husband may want to watch out, as Simpson plans to go down Nicole Richie’s TMI Twitter route.

“I do love Twitter, and I would say one of my favorite people to follow is Nicole Richie,” she said. “I think Nicole Richie is always straight up, really funny. She makes me laugh all the time, and she posts cool pics and makes fun of her husband, and I love it.”

Jess was having a lot of fun with interviews at the Hot Hollywood Party, but if she’s making popsicles then I’m buying!
