An update on the John Mayer/Cameron Diaz reports that took over the webosphere last week: IT’S TRUE. And they kept up their New York flirtation over the entire weekend.

The pair were first spotted out together in the city last week, were “all over each other” and “super flirty” at the Bowery Hotel Friday night. (We’ve seen Cameron and her PDA, so this is easy to imagine. Not that I *WANT* to imagine it. But you sort of can’t help it. I mean, it just kind of burns itself into your memory, like that time you bit into a raspberry with a worm hanging out of the center.)

Star magazine’s recent UK edition of its magazine has a full spread on Jessica Simpson’s biggest regret: divorcing Nick Lachey. The magazine even goes so far as to claim that Jessica wants to win Nick back and is currently scheming how to go about doing that.

Sometimes I wonder about Jessica Simpson. Sometimes I wonder whether she just plays the dumb blonde role really well, or if she’s self-absorbed, or if she really just doesn’t have any clue. She and Nick Lachey were so great together and I’m STILL holding out hope that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey will get back together.

HOW PERFECT WOULD THAT BE?

Anyway, Jess has been rumored to have dated her share of guys since breaking up her marriage with Nick (Yes, Jessica, you’re right: that really WAS the worst mistake of your life), most recently and notably: John Mayer. But John’s moved on now, right into the open arms of another blonde…do you know who?

Ashlee recently hooked up with Seventeen magazine for a photo shoot, and unlike some celebrities (ahem, Britney Spears!), the spread turned out delightfully. I’ve scanned it for you, just because I love you so. Without further ado: the cover, the article, the shoot. And stay tuned next week for SEVENTEEN THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ASHLEE (and neither did I).

Ashlee and Pete headed to Chicago this past weekend for a playdate at Lollapalooza. Check out the candid photos of the lovebirds at the concert! I usually don’t like Ashlee’s style when she’s out-and-about around town, but her black dress and hat are really cute this time!

Jess is filming the movie Major Movie Star, which is set to come out in 2008. The movie follows what producers call a “fluffy, bubble gum movie star” (played by Jessica Simpson) who suddenly finds herself broke and humiliated in the public eye. After surviving a car accident (sound familiar, Lindsay Lohan?), she wanders from the wreckage and witlessly enlists in the U.S. Army hoping in vain that it will change her life.

I can think of a few celebrities who should maybe take a note or two from that plot line…

Ok, poor Ashlee Simpson has rumors flying everywhere at the moment about her. Here’s another one. She might be engaged to Pete Wentz!

Nothing’s been confirmed, so hold off on having your head explode for now, but sources tell Pop Crunch that Wentz proposed to Simpson backstage at Live Earth before he performed with his Fall Out Boy bandmates. “Ashlee wasn’t expecting it at all; it was a total surprise,” says the source. “Pete whipped out a big engagement ring, dropped down on one knee and asked Ashlee to be his bride. Ashlee says it was romantic, sexy - and that she said ‘yes’ right away.”

“Ashlee and Pete are desperate to keep the engagement quiet for as long as they can so they can make wedding plans in peace,” says a pal of Ashlee’s. “All she wants is a simple ceremony with her family, his family and a handful of people.”

Now that Jess is single again, has she found her way back into the arms of her former co-star Dane Cook? The pair were together a week and a half ago at Teddy’s for Prince’s concert, and reports say the two were spotted “dancing and touching each other” all night long!

Ashlee was photographed multiple times over by the paparazzi on July 4th. Apparently, Ashlee and Pete were on their way to a romantic vacation for the long Independence Day weekend. No word yet on where they’re headed, but we’re sure to find out soon!

Are Jessica Simpson and Lane Garrison more than just friends? Just Jared would have you think so, but don’t be too quick to believe ALL the celebrity gossip you read.

Truth is, Jess and Lane grew up together. At age seventeen, Lane left his parent’s rule and moved in with the Simpson clan - Joe and Tina took him in. From that perspective, Jess and Lane are practically siblings. (Of course, the same thing happened with Ryan Cabrera, and that didn’t stop Ashlee from sinking her teeth into him.)

Ashlee Simpson romped with boyfriend Pete Wentz in the bathroom of his new bar, it has been claimed.

Javno Lifestyle reported:

Ashlee Simpson romped with boyfriend Pete Wentz in the bathroom of his new bar, it has been claimed.

The ‘Fall Out Boy’ frontman, who celebrated his 28th birthday party at his newly opened New York hangout Angels and Kings on Tuesday night (05.06.07), reportedly entered a bathroom cubicle with Ashlee for a steamy session.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Ashlee and Pete got a VIP escort to the bathroom and jumped the queue.

“Pete joked, ‘We’re going to puke. Seriously, we’re both going to be really sick’ as they pushed to the front of the queue.

“They went in together and everyone waited patiently. They were in there for a good 10 minutes.”
Ashlee bought her man a very special gift to mark the occasion.

Pete said: “Ashlee got me a Revenge of the Jedi poster. I’m kinky and it’s like, in Star Wars originally ‘Return of the Jedi’ was called Revenge of the Jedi, and then George Lucas decided that revenge was not a Jedi-like trait.

“So she bought it for me. I think it’s sweet. It’s awesome.”

The rocker and friends Gym Class Heroes lead singer Travis McCoy and Yellow Fever clothing designer Jamison Ernest opened the bar in April.

Pete said at the launch party: “It will be a bit of a dive, which we need. We finally have a place where all our loser friends can hang out!

Ernest added: “This will be a place that anyone can go and have sex in the bathroom and not get in trouble.”

Jessica Simpson was recently seen out-and-about getting in touch with her inner child. Though Jessica is more than twenty years older than Angelina Jolie’s son, Pax Thien, age 3 (adopted from Vietnam), they are wearing the same t-shirt.

Who do you think wears it best?

Jessica Simpson is reportedly jealous of younger sister Ashlee.

The ‘Employee of the Month’ actress is said to be unhappy her sibling’s fame is beginning to eclipse her own.

A source told Closer magazine: “Jessica finds it tough being compared with Ashlee, who’s becoming a big star and is threatening to overtake Jessica as the more successful sister.

“Jessica was always seen as the bigger star, but now Ashlee is taking over. There’s certainly a sibling rivalry between them.”

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.
