Our girl crush, Carrie Underwood, set the record straight in this month's Elle magazine when it comes to those "controversial" comments about Tony Romo still calling her.
It was just something that was said in passing, and I would never mean to say anything to hurt anybody or to stir up anything, because I’m just not about drama. At all. I might be mad too if somebody said my boyfriend was calling some other girl. So I can definitely see where she [Jessica Simpson] would be coming from. But I haven’t talked to him since, like, May.
We had a feeling she wasn't attempting to cause drama and it was just a slip-up, but we can't help but smile a bit knowing she likely got under Jessica's skin just a little.

The love story of Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson inexplicably continues, despite the fact that they are rapidly becoming the most annoying couple of all time. According to sources, Tony has been pestering his Dallas Cowboys teammates by playing Jess's new country CD and even handing out autographed albums to anyone who will be suckered into it. We have a feeling no football player gets pumped up by listening to "Come On Over" on repeat.
More annoying than that, however, is Jessica's nickname for Tony: FBD, which stands for Future Baby's Daddy. But not to worry — she only calls him that behind his back because "she's playing it cool." Sounds like it.

In a surprising turn of events, our girl crush and our boy crush are planning a "quiet first date" together after someone told Michael Phelps that Carrie Underwood thinks he's cute. The two reportedly started text-messaging, which led to Michael romancing Carrie by requesting that their first date not include dinner: "I’m not so sure you’d want to see me eat! It might not make a great first impression."
Carrie's friends are less than impressed by this development, insisting that she was "devastated when her relationship with Tony Romo broke" and doesn't need another high-profile celebrity waltzing in and out of her life. Except this is Michael Phelps we're talking about — give him a couple more months and he will no longer be high-profile. America has a short attention span.

We've all snooped through our significant other's phone to make sure there's no funny business going on. The difference is most of us were in high school and not in The Greatest Relationship Ever, as Jessica Simpson claims to be with Tony Romo. And it's not something you willingly admit to many people, unlike Jess, who announced that she went through Tony's call log after his ex Carrie Underwood claimed he was still calling her.
According to Jess, "Tony and I both laughed at that. We got a chuckle out of it." But then she went through his phone — you know, just to be sure.
And we'd also like to take this time to point out that Carrie said, "The phone will ring and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer," which could mean that she's hypothetically speaking and this hasn't actually happened. Either way, she ruffled Jessica's feathers, which is a win for everyone except poor Tony.

Carrie Underwood may have refueled her nonexistent feud with Jessica Simpson with a few simple words to Allure magazine. Carrie, who dated Tony Romo first and is more successful in the country music world than laughingstock Jessica, is also a famous vegetarian. Jessica, of course, was recently seen sporting a T-shirt that read, "Real Girls Eat Meat." Classy.
When asked about her former relationship with Tony, Carrie said a lot without saying much at all:
We were both small-town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing with fame. … I don't know. The phone will ring and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer.
It's common knowledge that Jessica is incredibly insecure in her relationship with Tony, especially when it comes to Underwood, so we're unsure if Carrie meant to cause tension in the glorious Romo-Simpson romance. But either way, it's better than a dumb passive-aggressive shirt.

Jessica Simpson is trying way too hard to fit in with the country music scene, as evidenced by her September cover of Elle magazine. During the interview she admits to "dating different types of guys and conforming to their worlds," and while we applaud her for recognizing the problem, she has yet to fix it. Rumor has it she's expressed the desire to just become a big-haired Texas football wife and devote her life to prancing around in cowboy boots and a Tony Romo jersey. Uh, Jess? The oversized belt buckle and new country album aren't going to make the Dallas Cowboy wives like you. Sorry.
Here's your first glimpse at the cover of Jessica Simpson's new country album — or, as we like to call it, her attempt to fit in with her Dallas Cowboy boyfriend. First the LA sex kitten act for Nick Lachey, then the dark emo hair for John Mayer, and now this.
The boots add a nice touch, Jess, but that still doesn't mean Texas is going to welcome you with open arms.

Without Barack Obama, the tabloids basically have nothing to go on these days. Britney Spears is cleaning up her act. Nicole Richie sometimes parties late, but mostly stays hidden with her mommyhood. And there’s the scraps: Mary-Kate Olsen heading to rehab? Oooh, breaking! Which is why, just sometimes, the tabloids have to rely on their own reporters to drum up scandal.
Like the way Us Weekly did with Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo.
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.

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?
