Jessica Simpson gets distraught over Tony Romo, despite Billy Corgan

Jessica Simpson has had a surprising week. We found out that she’s been quietly dating Billy Corgan for an unknown amount of time, and that her friends are really tired of each new boyfriend being “the one”. A day later, we learned that Jessica’s dad at been tweeting about Billy, writing “My friend, Billy Corgan, has a pure and enlightening outlook on faith.” So… yeah, my guess is that daddy set her up with his friend Billy. Much like a pimp would. Shiver. In any case, Jessica and Billy are “taking it slow”.

Perhaps one of the reasons Jessica isn’t eager to jump into a hardcore relationship with Billy is because she still has feeling for or about her ex Tony Romo. In Touch is reporting that Jessica recently found out that Romo’s new girlfriend, 33-year-old Candice Crawford, was seen wearing a ring:

Jessica Simpson “nearly fainted” when she found out Candice was wearing a diamond band, given to Candice by Romo. Although Jessica has “moved on with her life,” a pal says that she’s been following every detail about Candice and Tony’s romance. And Jessica fears the worst about Candice’s new bling.

“She doesn’t know what it means. Is it some sort of commitment ring that Tony gave to Candice? Jessica is bracing herself for the day that they get engaged. Jessica’s only hope is that she’ll have a boyfriend – or better yet, a husband – by then. But it really hurts, because she believed that she was the one who would be marrying Tony. It has to be breaking her heart.”

Gossip around Dallas is that “Candice really like Tony, but she has been very quiet about their relationship from the beginning. I’m sure he likes that, especially after how public things were between him and Jessica… Candice has kept her coworkers guessing about the ring too!”

Meh. Isn’t it pretty standard after a difficult breakup to spend some time obsessing over the new girlfriend? I’ve done my fair share of that. What does she have that I don’t? Does he love her? Does he love her more than he loved me? Et cetera. I mean, I get that the tabloids love to portray Jessica as a sad sack (which she very well may be), but I don’t really think there’s anything too scandalous about this. Plus, she’s got Billy now! Ugh.
