Jessica and Owen: What’s the real story?
It’s always been said that timing is everything, but in the world of Jessica Simpson, this phrase is especially true.
A source close to the blond bombshell says that like her hookup with John Mayer, Simpson’s recent “dates” with Owen Wilson are meant to drum up good favor in the court of public opinion. “When Jess last had a new album coming out, that’s when she was introduced to John. She’s got her first country album coming out, so now she’s been conveniently introduced to Owen, who is a fellow Texan. Better yet, the public is sympathetic to him.”
In addition to the standard denials about any romantic wrangling from the Simpson camp, reps tell me that that country music album is still in the writing phase and that there isn’t a release date on the books yet. That isn’t stopping the Simpson camp from plotting Jessica’s first video strategy, however. “Just like you saw Eva Longoria in the video for ‘A Public Affair,’ you’re going to see more famous faces in this video.” Naturally, Simpson has her sights set on Wilson, but she’s also hoping from support from country legend Willie Nelson, says the source.
Again, Simpson’s reps deny that any planning for the video has taken place. One thing Simpson has planned for: her first guest-hosting gig on “The View.”
