Jessica Simpson lands the April 2012 cover of Elle magazine and gives up a familiar pose.

The 31 year-old Fashion Star mentor and business woman revealed she’s having a girl and is worried she’ll be sports-minded instead of a shopaholic…

“I swear, I will croak if she asks me for a pair of Nikes instead of Christian Louboutins!” she told the magazine.

“Eric is so athletic – we’re gonna have this athletic girl and I won’t even be able to take her shopping, ’cause all she’s gonna want is sports bras and Nikes!”

The same I’m-pregnant-and-naked-but strategically-covering-my-boobs-pose was unique in 1991 when Annie Leibovitz shot Demi Moore for the cover of Vanity Fair but now it’s been done too often.

It’s most famous reenactments have been Britney Spears for Harper’s Bazaar in 2006 and Marie Claire’s cover with Christina Aguillera in 2008, as well as supermodels Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer.

I wish Elle magazine had tried to do something unique. But the shopping quote kills me. Seriously Jessica?
