Simpson Watch

Poplette.com reports:

Jessica Simpson and John Mayer have ended their romance – but perhaps not for good.

A source close to Simpson told PEOPLE magazine, “They have broken up. But they have broken up and gotten back together at least 10 times before.” According to the source, the pair are in constant contact – even as Simpson promotes her film Major Movie Star at the Cannes Film Festival in France. “They talk to each other at least six times a day. I don’t know if this breakup is permanent, but for right now they are broken up.” In fact, the pair have “been emailing and talking to each other,” since Simpson went to Cannes, says a Simpson friend. “I’m sure they’ll get back together.”

As for why the two singers split, a friend of Mayer’s says, “John did say that he broke up [with Jessica]. He said that it was because he was just over it.” But the pal says there is no other woman. “He’s fine about it, he’s not upset – but he’s definitely not looking for someone right now.”

Jessica Simpson has confirmed what I have been suspecting for a couple of weeks! She and John Mayer are OVER.

Jessica and John spent months refusing to talk about their relationship, but finally confirmed their romance in March. They were last seen together at an event in NY on May 7.

But John’s not sitting around pining over Jessica. He reportedly was at the NY nightclub Stereo over the weekend, hitting on every super-skinny girl there. The source says it was only the REALLY skinny girls he was hitting on, too…the complete opposite of curvy Jessica.

He seemed especially fond of one Asian model, but the source says John left the club alone. Some in their circle say they fully expect John and Jess to get back together because they break up and make up all the time… mainly because John objects to the way Jessica dresses.

Jessica Simpson is heartbroken because her romantic summer plans have gone awry.

She starts filming Major Movie Star in June in Shreveport, Louisiana. In this comedy she plays a struggling acttress who enlists in the Marines.

She had hoped to rent a big house in Shreveport and have John Mayer share it with her. Fantasies of warm southern nights under the stars and afternoon barbecues filled her head.

But John told her it’s out of the question - he’s way too busy working this summer. He’ll try to visit when he can, but that’s the best he can do.

Karma’s a bitch. Last time she was filming in Louisiana - for Dukes of Hazzard - she didn’t want Nick to visit. Now she’s begging her lover to visit, and he won’t.

JES’ PREDICTION: This is more than a summer gone awry - it sounds like the entire relationship is headed down a gnarly path. I don’t think they’ll be together much longer.

In a rare display of testosterone, Nick Lachey bowed up against some clueless guy in a valiant effort to save the pride of his live-in girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo.

Nick and Vanessa had a run-in on Friday night at a pre-Kentucky derby party with a guy who was not so representative of Southern hospitality.

According to Nick (via his reps), the couple were making their way through the party at Club Felt, led by Nick’s bodyguard, when some drunk guy yanked Nick’s arm and caused Vanessa to fall down.

Dude! Don’t push a lady down!

While Vanessa tried to calm her pissed off boytoy, nearby police took control of the situation and cuffed the guy. They asked Nick if he wanted to press charges, but Lachey and Minnillo were content to just put the night behind them.

I would love this story even more if Vanessa wasn’t in it, and if Nick was defending Jessica Simpson, and if Jess dumped John Mayer. Nothing against John, but I just prefer Nick. I know it’s unlikely at this point, but I’m still hoping for a miracle for The Newlyweds stars.

Remember the good old days when Jessica and Ashlee Simpson were best friends? Like the hair colors they’re now sporting and the guys they are seeing, the relationship between the once-close siblings is no longer what it used to be. While their reps insist the sisters are still close, a tsunami seems to be building.

“There’s certainly a sibling rivalry between them,” a source close to the two tells Star. The trouble began, says another insider when Jess’s boyfriend, John Mayer, pointed to a glamorous magazine photo and asked Jess, “How old is this picture of you?” But-whoops!-it was a shot of Ashlee! “Jessica read John the riot act,” says our source. “He definitely touched a nerve.”

Her sensitivity on the subject seems to be the direct result of Ashlee’s emergence as a sex kitten, a role once owned by Jessica. That Ashlee has become the hot blonde – a transformation that came courtesy of a surgeon’s knife, a bottle of peroxide and dramatic weight loss- is troubling to Jessica, who has morphed into a buxom and sometimes frumpy brunette due to a dye job and about 20 extra pounds. “Jessica hears the catty talk about how Ashlee looks like her- from two years ago,” says the source. “It totally bothers her.”

In what has become rare during the past few weeks, Jessica Simpson and John Mayer were seen together at the “Poiret: King of Fashion” Costume Institute Gala at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Jessica is looking quite busty in these photographs, which isn’t out of the ordinary, except I’m wondering why she’s suddenly all about showing off her body again. It must be the trick of having John Mayer in her life - before him (and after her breakup with Nick Lachey), she seemed quite fond of covering up.

Anyway, she looks great here, if not a tad overly orange-y.

Singer Jessica Simpson was photographed at the Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas this past Friday night (May 4th).

Jess was on hand to emcee a performance by the Las Vegas Pussycat Dolls at the club and to help celebrate the second anniversary of the Pussycat Dolls Lounge at Caesars.

Afterward (and during!), she partied hard with other celebs, but John Mayer was nowhere to be found.

Photographers caught up to Jessica Simpson this weekend, where they photographed her wearing a low-cut scoop neck dress that looks alarmingly like my grandmother’s sofa upholstery.

For the past couple of weeks now, Jess has been party-hopping without arm candy John Mayer. Trouble in paradise, or is she just tired of being on the road?

What do you think of her bust-enhancing outfit? Awesome or awful?

Bluepointe staffers and diners got quite the jolt last Monday night (April 23, 2007), when celebrity couple Jessica Simpson and John Mayer arrived at the posh Buckhead eatery for a late dinner. We’re told that the couple slid into a booth (yes, on the same side of the table) and split a bottle of wine. Chef Doug Turbush prepared sea bass for the Chicken of the Sea-challenged Simpson, while Mayer had a filet mignon.

Apparently, Simpson had a fan among the diners. The couple received complimentary dessert from an anonymous patron. We’re told that the former Buckhead resident (John Mayer) and Jessica Simpson later closed down the restaurant.

Jessica and John are shown above posing outside of the Bluepointe Restaurant with a fan.

Following a couple’s getaway to Italy in March and a happy jaunt Down Under earlier this month, Jessica Simpson and John Mayer continue their romantic tour in London, Ontario, where Mayer performed in concert on Sunday.

No word yet on an official engagement, but these two lovebirds are popping up everywhere!

Swept off her feet by lanky singer John Mayer, Jessica Simpson shocked her family and friends by running away with her man for a romantic hush-hush “honeymoon” as he tours Australia! And John is so crazy in love with Jessica that, as they walked hand in hand on the beach, he surprised her by taking her in his arms and popping the question!

I think these two are cute together, which is something I haven’t been able to bring myself to admit. I loved Jess and Nick. They were iconic.

But John Mayer and Jessica Simpson seem to match each other well. Jessica seems like she feels so comfortable with John Mayer. and it makes me ridiculously happy for her, considering I don’t actually know the pop star. I think John Mayer is good for her - she seems like she just wants to lay low and be “normal” for a bit (whatever “normal” is for someone who is constantly in the media spotlight, courtesy of the paparazzi).

Over the weekend, Jessica Simpson and John Mayer spent time together in public, dining at Hugo’s restaurant in West Hollywood. Saturday (March 24, 2007) they were photographed leaving the restaurant, and they look so cute! I love this shot – it feels really artsy to me.

Jessica Simpson and John Mayer have been dating for a while now, and I’m wondering if the bloom is off the rose a little bit. John is sort of mean to Jessica. Recently the two of them were having dinner with some friends at this really great Italian restaurant in LA and John said he had a special present for Jessica. She was so excited, thinking it was going to be sweet and romantic…but no. It was a thesaurus. John told her she should know some more words, which made the whole table laugh…all except for Jessica. His gesture hurt her feelings.
