Jessica Simpson’s venture into the world of country music has been successful thus far — if you believe the things you read in Us Weekly or hear on the radio. So just how successful is she? Well, just look at this “packed house” (yes, the interviewers actually called it that) of fans who came to see Jess in person. It’s amazing that no one was injured during the riot.

Video of the craziness, complete with Jess’s annoying baby voice and charming stories, after the jump.

Ever the media-savvy businessman, Joe Simpson has publicly responded to the same rumors we hear about him every week (he’s a creepy control-freak), and his defense isn’t helping. “The media says that I try to plan everything,” Joe says. “If I had half of the power they give me…” Um, then what? Do we want to know?

He then went on to address reports that he’s jealous of the men in his daughters’ lives:

[Tony Romo]’s a great guy. I love Tony to death. He’s just a good kid.

I love Pete [Wentz] to death. He has a patient spirit and a kind heart. I’m honored to have Pete as my son-in-law.

Key word, of course, being “death.”

We already knew Joe Simpson was the main reason behind Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo’s breakup, but now more sources are coming forward to reveal exactly how bad things got with Papa Joe. Rumor has it he advised Tony to drop his agent so Joe could take over his NFL career and contract worth almost $70 million. How Tony managed to turn down that offer is beyond us. But it gets better: Joe then informed Tony that if he proposed to Jessica, Joe could “do the same that [he] did with Ashlee.” Meaning he could whore out their precious memories.

But media-savvy Papa Joe fired back, releasing a statement that just makes him sound as ridiculous as ever:

It’s unfair to criticize me for what every manager does for his or her clients. And in this business, where people can quickly turn on you, who better than a parent to be working for his children?

Preach it, Joe! Parent managers are definitely the way to go, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Just look at Dina Lohan.

So apparently the Jessica Simpson-Tony Romo relationship is really back in action, but only on Romo’s terms. According to a friend, for some bizarre reason, Tony thinks Papa Joe is too involved in the relationship. That really came out of nowhere.

He did agree to go to [sister Ashlee’s] wedding — keeping his promise to Jessica. But he made it super-clear that if they were to give it another go, her dad had to seriously back off.

So the showmance will continue — but only as a trial run — as long as Joe no longer tells Romo “how to run his life, career and endorsement deals.” So, in other words, they’re already broken up.

We know you’ve been sitting on the edge of your computer chairs in anticipation of Jessica Simpson’s new single. Well, it’s here. Creatively titled “Come on Over,” it’s the type of song that would make a guy go, “On second thought … I think I’ll just stay home. But thanks though. Yeah, sure, I’ll call you.”

Listen to it here.

The Papa Joe spin machine was in full force over the holiday weekend, leaking the imaginary details of Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo’s latest date. Yes, they had a post-breakup get-together.

On Saturday, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo looked every bit the happy couple at N9NE Steakhouse in Dallas. ‘They were holding hands, in a good mood and happy,’ a source tells People. ‘They looked like they were on a date together.’

Everyone can pretty much agree on the fact that Jess and Tony are kaput, so here’s what we want to know: Why are the Simpsons so hell bent on keeping this relationship alive, and what do they have on Romo?

Brooke Hogan’s latest MySpace rant (which has since been removed) was obviously not the ramblings of a perfectly sane person, and sources close to the Hogan family are convinced she is headed toward an emotional breakdown. Apparently her parents’ divorce and brother’s sentencing have gotten the best of her and “she just can’t keep it together.” Gee, you think?

In other family news, Hulk and Linda presented a united front at Nick’s court hearing earlier this month (Linda even wore her wedding ring), but it was all an act to show support for their son. That shouldn’t surprise anybody, because Hulk has based his entire career on acting, especially as of late — he even admitted that Hogan Knows Best was scripted (gasp!) and he was wary of the entire idea from the beginning:

I was offered lots of [reality] shows when I was making my career comeback against The Rock, but I kept saying no. But years later, it was my daughter’s career and son’s racing career that we were thinking about.

We saw the Ashlee Simpson show and Jessica Simpson’s and Lindsay Lohan on the big screen and we just didn’t haven’t a vehicle to compete. But I considered it, because this time it was about the Hogan family rather than Hulk Hogan; they all wanted to do it and I tried to warn them about what they were in for. Now look what happened.

The point where everything went downhill can be debated, but we believe it happened when Hulk tried to base his family’s life on that of the Simpsons.

Tony Romo caved to Papa Joe’s insistence that he accompany Jessica Simpson to sister Ashlee’s wedding this weekend. But the delusions continued as the former couple staged fake romantic moments so word would get out from an anonymous source that the two are totally still together.

They were very cozy and cute together. She’s definitely not mourning John Mayer! She was in an amazing mood and so happy her sister was getting married.

They were kissing and holding hands throughout the night. He was very sweet to her. They were very much a couple.

So we’re all on the same page that this “source” is Papa Joe, correct?

Congrats, Simpson family: Your pathetic attempts to stay in the spotlight have worked, and in the process, every last member of the family looks like a loser. Granted, it’s been like this for awhile.

Here’s the latest on the disaster Papa Joe created:

• Tony Romo and Jessica are still broken up, and Simpson reps are still denying it. Sources say Tony finally had enough of Papa Joe’s meddling — which included unsolicited career advice — and also became upset after seeing Jess’ Glamour magazine interview in which she referred to him as her “future husband.”

• Papa Joe has begged Tony to accompany Jess to Ashlee’s wedding this weekend to “support the family.” Also, to keep up appearances.

• Speaking of the wedding from hell, Ashlee and Pete Wentz have asked guests to dress in dark colors for the big day. That’s so deep.

• People has reportedly shelled out seven figures for exclusive access to the couple’s wedding photos. Has the magazine learned nothing from the public’s lack of interest in the Mariah wedding pictures?

Look! Star got a photo of Jessica Simpson’s ex-jock, Tony Romo, out in Chicago with a new girlfriend, one who looks amazingly similar to Jessica Simpson. Snooze. Clearly, these meatheads are not heeding our advice.

The love story of Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson is truly one for the ages, as evidenced by Pete’s interview on an LA radio station yesterday. Here’s how this fairytale romance began:

I was in the ‘friend zone’ with her for a good solid year. I spent a long time in the ‘friend zone.’ I’d be calling her and following her around like a puppy dog.

The first time we really hung out she flashed me.

Ashlee clarified, proudly saying that she lifted her dress over her head — but it’s OK, because they were “friends with benefits.” Which is probably something you shouldn’t admit when you’re trying to keep up the wholesome Simpson family image. What would the virginal Jessica say?

TEXANS REJOICE! “TMZ has learned that the romance between Jessica Simpson and hotshot QB Tony Romo is as dead as the Cowboys’ 2007 playoff run. Their reps have been going on the record saying that they’re not split, but our sources — who know what’s really going on — say the two have cut the cord … at least for now.”

For reasons unknown, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was asked to help sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at Sunday’s Chicago Cubs game. Judging by his vocal technique, it seems someone has been taking lessons from girlfriend Jessica Simpson.
