Like a smitten schoolgirl, Jessica Simpson is giddy over her romance with Dallas Cowboys star Tony Romo -- and she's yelling it from the rooftops.
"It feels like forever," Jess tells the new issue of Glamour. "I love this guy. Can you feel it?"
The singer says that dating Tony has brought her back to who she really is.
"What he's done for me is irreplaceable," she says. "He reintroduced me to myself. I thought that I had to be deeper, more profound and more artsy. ... Tony taught me that because he loves me [as me]. He made me feel comfortable [being myself] again.
Jessica said that dating people like John Mayer, after her split from Nick Lachey, who she said there was too much competition with, made her feel like she needed to be something she's not -- you know, like smart.
"You change with the guys you date. [I thought] I had to be more intellectual."
But, Jessica's footballer swooped in and accepted her for the ditz that she is. He admitted to a longtime crush on her on TV, which she saw, and it led to them getting together. On their first date, after phone calls and emails, Tony threw caution to the wind and went in for a big smooch. Jessica was taken back, but totally psyched at the same time.
"He goes like this across the table," Jess recalled, puckering up. "I go, 'What are you doing?' He goes, 'Nothing,' and starts pouting. I said, 'Were you just trying to kiss me in front of all these people?' He goes, 'Maybe.' I'm like, 'Try it again.' "
"The fact that this guy, on our first date, in the first 10 minutes of dinner, wanted to lean over the table and say, This is my girl and I want to kiss her – our first kiss in front of everybody – was awesome."
Awww. That is a really sweet story and, though I do pick on Jess for not being the brightest bulb in the bunch, I do think she is genuinely a good, nice person who deserves to be happy. Even if her happiness does come fully equipped with face-licking.
Ellen DeGeneres pulled no punches when she flat-out asked Ashlee Simpson if she was expecting, during a taping of El's talk show Wednesday.
"Are you or are you not pregnant?" Ellen asked.
That's right, El -- don't stand for her crap!
But Ash stuck to her guns, saying, "Well, that has been going on for quite a while. That is something that I choose personally not to discuss."
Then she put the capital "A" in annoying when she added, "Do I look like I had 10 cheeseburgers or something?" addressing the audience and standing up. "Because I don't think I do."
Ellen then asked if Ashley planned on keeping the world in suspense as long as Jennifer Lopez did. To which the newly-engaged singer said she wouldn't. "I swear. I promise you that. I give you my pinky on that."
Good for Ellen for not dancing around the topic (it's so not her style -- well, dancing is, but you know what I mean) -- bad for Ash for stretching this out to the point where the world is about to stop caring.
That's why she's a genius. Maybe this whole pregnancy thing is just a publicity stunt, maybe it's not. But whoever is telling her to keep the world guessing is going to be responsible for her album sales. Girl hasn't seen this much publicity since her lip synching/hoe-down dance fiasco on SNL.
This might be the lamest story in creation, but I would never want to cheat my Blabber-ers out of having something to talk about around the water cooler.
Here's the deal -- Jessica Simpson and her boyfriend, football player Tony Romo, went out to celebrate his birthday, at Suite in Dallas, with friends. They danced and partied, and Jessica even did her best Marilyn Monroe impression and sang "Happy Birthday" to him over the microphone.
Then the cake came out. A No. 9, blue, Dallas Cowboys cake (like he's friggin' 8). They fed each other the confection, getting blue icing all over the place, as Jess took her tongue to her man.
"She licked cake from his face as everyone cheered them on. It was quite a spectacle," says one club insider. "But they looked really happy together. Jessica had blue icing all over her hands and mouth and Tony was laughing."
If you want see the photos -- they are here. Otherwise go on with your day and pretend I never wrote this.
Ashlee Simpson continued to be coy about the possibility that she and new hubby-to-be Pete Wentz are expecting a baby, when she appeared on The Today Show this morning.
When Matt Lauer asked about the rumors (he obviously had to), Ash simply said, "Time will tell," then said she was, however, "giving birth to her new album."
Eww -- bad visual.
Are you sick of hearing about Ashlee Simpson's maybe-baby yet? I'm almost sick of talking about it, but I need to keep my Blabber-ers well informed!
According to People.com (very reputable), a source says that Ashlee is definitely pregnant and that she and Pete Wentz are planning to tie the knot in a hurry -- like next month. The loose-lipped friend says Jessica's little sis is throwing together a May wedding, at a friend's house in La Jolla, California.
Though Pete has called the quest to find out about Ash's pregnancy a "witch hunt," and Ashlee side-stepped the question at MTV TRL's yesterday, all arrows seem to be pointing to a baby bump on the horizon.
Now all we can do is sit back and wait for the confirmation.
Ashlee Simpson was under the gun today during a taping for MTV's TRL.
According to a source for People.com, Ash dodged the pregnancy question, saying that if all the rumors about her were true, she "would have had a baby by now." She did, however, show off her brand new bling, courtesy of new fiancé Pete Wentz. After a teeny bopper asked to see her ring, Ashlee flashed a diamond eternity band.
She still didn't say she wasn't pregnant.
Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz was quick to react to the breaking news that his new fiancée, Ashlee Simpson, is expecting a baby.
"There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood," Pete wrote in an email to MTV News. "This is all news to me. I can't wait for the story about how I'm really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover."
"I mean really, this is crazy...I mean we're engaged, that's true, and happy about it."
When asked specifically if he was denying that Ash was with child, Pete replied, "Yeah."
But, in addition to Us Weekly saying they have confirmation that there is a baby on the way, sources over at E! News also claim to have gotten the good word from reputable sources. The insider said, "It's very early" in the pregnancy, and that Pete and Ash just told their families last week. Then, this past weekend, they told a couple of more people, who, apparently, told some other people, who leaked it to the press.
Coincidentally, Ashlee's new album, Bittersweet World, is coming out April 22. Do you think this could be a publicity stunt?
I understand that this is the obvious story to come immediately after last week's big news that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are engaged, but UsMagazine.com is saying that a very good source confirmed that Ash and Pete are expecting their first child together.
They usually don't use the word "confirm" unless they really know.
Still, a rep for Pete & Ash told the mag, "We are thrilled to confirm their engagement and congratulate this happy couple. Beyond that there is nothing to say."
Maybe they haven't broken the news to Ash's dad, Joe Simpson, who is going to FREAK.
Jessica Simpson says she is thrilled for her baby sis, Ashlee, and Pete Wentz, who announced they are headed down the aisle.
"My sister is overflowing with joy," Jess told People.com. "Pete is an incredible soul. They naturally bring out the best in each other. I couldn't be happier."
That's lovely, and I'm sure she means it, but there's no way that statement wasn't rehearsed. "Pete is an incredible soul?" This is the girl who didn't know if Chicken of the Sea was chicken or tuna, and who thought Buffalo wings were made from buffalo!
That aside, I do think Jessica is a nice person and I'm sure she'll have plenty of tips for Ashlee on Ash's big wedding night, if you catch my drift.
What? You don't think Ashlee's a virgin?
The speculation ends here, friends. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are absolutely engaged! Ash made the formal announcement on friendsorenemies.com:
"We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I, and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best," she wrote "Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes – it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us."
The eye-liner-wearing couple were friends before they started dating in 2006 and, last month, Ashlee was seen sportin' a sparkly sparkler on her ring finger. When asked if she and her Fall Out Boy honey were engaged, Jessica Simpson's little sis said it was more of a promise ring -- and that Pete hadn't yet asked her dad, creepy Joe Simpson, for her hand.
But it looks like Pete finally got up the nerve, because Joe told People.com that he is "totally happy" about the engagement and "so excited to have Pete as part of (our) family. We are blessed," he said.
Congrats to Pete & Ashlee -- let's hope they have much better luck than Jess and Nick Lachey.
Who is the latest celeb to check in to Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles?
It's Jessica Simpson -- and no, she's not in the psych ward.
According to In Touch Weekly, Jess spent the weekend in the hospital, suffering from a kidney infection. "She checked in on Friday morning because she was feeling achy and had a fever,” a friend of the family confirmed to the mag. “She is doing fine, but she is ready to get out of there,” they added.
Jess was kept for observation through the weekend and is expected to be released tomorrow.
Get well soon!
Another day, another unqualified celebrity gets their own fashion line.
Today the news comes that Ashlee Simpson will be putting together a line for teeny bopper clothing chain Wet Seal. At least Ash will only be creating a collection of T-shirts for them, and not dresses and bags and shoes, and what-not.
According to Wet Seal, Ashlee’s collection features "designs inspired by her own personality, sense of style and album artwork."
“I was inspired by so many fun, wonderful things as I was recording Bittersweet World and it’s been great to carry through those inspirations into these new shirt designs,” Jessica's little sis said. “I hope my fans love this album and rock out in these shirts!”
Conveniently, Ashlee’s T-shirt line will launch nationwide on the same day her new album, Bittersweet World drops -- which is April 22, if you feel the need to be first on line.
Ryan Phillippe gave Howard Stern quite the interview Thursday morning, chock full of the questions we wanted answered. And, surprisingly, Ry was pretty open. So, what does he think of the fact that his ex-wife, Reese Witherspoon, looks blissfully in love with fellow movie star Jake Gyllenhaal?
"He's a good dude," the Stop-Loss star said of Jake. "I love her and I want her to be happy, and it seems like she is," adding that the couple's split was a "mutual" decision. "Leading up to it, we had been spending so much time apart," he admitted. "That's a huge part of it. There are so many obstacles."
Ryan, now being the hot bachelor he is, has been linked to many of today's biggest names. In particular, one rumored tonsil hockey session with a Miss Britney Spears.
"Not true," the actor said, also denying that he and Ashlee Simpson hooked up. "Again, not true," he shot down. "I stood next to her at a place called Les Deux, a club in Los Angeles."
He does admit that, though he didn't have sex with his I Know What You Did Last Summer co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt back in the day, it did cross his mind.
"It did occur to me," he said. "She was very young and her mother was there all the time... but I was in a hot tub with her when she was 18."
What about Angelina Jolie, who he shot a sex scene with for their film Playing By Heart?
Ry admits that Angie was "probably" the hottest person he ever got intimate with on-screen.
"Is she very sexual?" Howard (stupidly) asked. "I would think so, yeah," Ry said.
Finally, Howard had to throw a LiLo question in there -- I mean, she's been connected to everyone at some point.
"I know Lindsay Lohan wanted you," Howard sort of asked.
"Yeah," Ryan said.
Well, nobody ever said he was modest. Unfortunately he didn't go into any further detail on that one, but beggars can't be choosers. I'm glad we got the juice we did.
Nick Lachey wants his fame live forever. The former Newlyweds star is headed back to reality television, but he won't be the main focus this time. Instead, Nick is putting together a pilot for MTV, which the network describes as a version of the fabulous movie-turned-television-show Fame.
Nick will be the executive producer on the project, which will take place at his high school alma mater, the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati.
So, will there be dancing on the tables of the cafeteria and back flips in the schoolyard? Oh yeah.
“The stories and relationships are all set to music that’s organic to what’s going on in the school and also performed by the kids,” an executive at MTV told the Hollywood Reporter. “This is a genre-busting, creative experiment that I’m really excited about.”
I was a HUGE Fame fan, so I am psyched to see if Nick can really pull off the greatness. I'm rooting for him, though. We're all well-aware of how his last foray into reality TV turned out (Hi, Jessica) -- so let's hope he's got better luck this time.
And there's one very important thing Nick needs to keep in mind:
"Fame costs -- and right here is where you start paying -- in sweat."
She's just tired!
That's what Ashlee Simpson's rep wants us to believe of her client, after the singer gave a peculiar radio interview to Hot 99.5's Kane in the Morning show. Ash was reportedly slurring her words and (not surprisingly) forgot the lyrics to her song, but her people say she was absolutely not still drunk from the night before -- when she got brand new, huge tattoo.
"Ashlee was absolutely not intoxicated this morning on Hot 99.5," her rep yelled at Perez Hilton. "She has been working extremely hard traveling across the country to promote her upcoming new album by performing at night and waking up very early the next day to do radio interviews in the morning – like any of us would be – she was simply just tired."
You can listen to the interview here, I did and I have to say, I don't think Ashlee was drunk. Honestly, I just think she's not the brightest light in the bunch. Decide for yourself.
Do not say that Jessica Simpson had been dumped, when she has not, ya hear?
Jess's lawyers have written an angry letter to the editors of OK!, calling for a retraction to their story claiming that Jessica and boyfriend, Tony Romo, have split. The mag said that Jess was given the old heave-ho by the Dallas Cowboys quarterback because she was high-maintenance.
Ha! If Tony Romo didn't know that going in then he's been sacked one too many times.
Jess's legal team called the article a "smear campaign." Her lawyers insist: "Mr. Romo and Ms. Simpson have not broken off their romantic relationship."
Despite a string of big screen misses, singer Jessica Simpson keeps trying to make a hit movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, her latest foray into film is a comedy called Major Movie Star. Vivica A. Fox, Steve Guttenberg, High School Musical's Olesya Rulin, Gilmore Girls regular Keiko Agena and Saturday Night Live vet Cheri Oteri lend their "minor movie star" support.
Filming began yesterday at Camp Minden near Shreveport, Louisiana. The story is about a clueless movie star who impulsively enlists in the U.S. Army Reserve after discovering her boyfriend is gay and her cousin/accountant has stolen all her money.
Honestly, it sounds pretty Private Benjamin-esque to us. (For those who don't remember, that was Goldie Hawn's hit film of the 1980s.) First there was The Dukes of Hazzard, then there's the Working Girl remake, and now this. Can't Jess find any original material? Sigh.
Though Jessica Simpson's body is surely a "Wonderland," John Mayer's relationship with the blonde beauty seemingly brought the singer nothing but gossipy grief. John, 29, recently told GQ.com that he knew Ryan Seacrest would ask about his fling with the elder Simpson sister at this year's Grammy ceremony, so he planned his retaliation in advance.
"When Ryan says, 'You know I have to ask you' -- which is one of the dumbest prefaces of all time -- I think, Maybe I’ll just answer you in Japanese," he explained. "And then you’ll have to figure it out." (John says he rehearsed his Japanese-spoken response for three days. It translated into, "She's a lovely woman and I'm glad to be with her.") Was John miffed at Ryan? Nah. A source tells Us Weekly, "[He and Ryan] are friends. This is something John said in jest."
Unfortunately, John wasn't quite as clever -- or cocky -- when he found out that upon first listen former Sony head Don Ienner didn't like his latest disc, Continuum. "I cried that day," John remembers. "That was a rough day. There were other things going on, and I’d quit music in my head for about forty-five minutes."
Only forty-five minutes? Cry us a river, John. Thoughts of Jessica Simpson (in the flesh) could dry any man's tiny tears.
Now... Jessica is launching a bathing suit line! Here she is -- with her mommy, Tina Simpson -- taking a bow on the runway at the Jessica Simpson Swimwear fashion show at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami Beach. The suits aren't half bad either. What do you think?
Jessica Paster is supposedly this big celebrity stylist. Her clients include Jessica Simpson, Kate Hudson and I guess Jewel (pictured), none of whom exactly bowl me over with their fashion choices. Nonetheless... Page Six reports that Paster is looking for a new assistant, so she held a "cattle-casting call" for the position. But when prospective employees turned up at her house, they found a fashion disaster.
"There were disorganized racks of dresses and piles of clothing she had pulled from designers all over the floor," a job hunter told The Post. "Her little dog peed everywhere -- including on the clothes -- throughout the day."
So this chick, who charges up to $5,000 a day, is dressing celebrities in piss-stained couture? What nerve. Though I do like the idea of la Simpson squeezing into yellow-tinted dresses. Maybe that's why she always sounds so yappy when she talks.
Let's go back around December of 2005. Rumors were rampant that Jessica Simpson, who had just split with Nick, was doing dating practically every single dude in Tinseltown. From Adam Levine to Jared Leto, no guy, it seemed was safe. (Remind us again how she's now seeing John Mayer?!?).
No guy, including, reportedly, her very married costar in the Dukes of Hazzard, Johnny Knoxville. The Jackass star has been married to his wife, Melanie since 1995. According to Us, the couple, who has a 10-year-old daughter, has officially separated, and infidelity is said to be the cause.
"How do you live knowing that your husband leads a separate life... and is sleeping with other women all the time? She deserves every penny if she is going to divorce him," a source told the mag.
What do you think? Is Jess to blame?
