Jessica Simpson is like Lindsay Lohan, except she comes armed with a Bible. The connection? These two starlets will hook up with nearly anyone. Case in point - Jessica's latest crush is none other than Smashing Pumpkin's lead grouch, Billy Corgan. WTF? This alleged hookup could not be more random - literally. First up, the sanitized Ok! Magazine details: OK! has learned that Jessica is crazy about Smashing
Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan since she connected with him at a party on Nov.
6. The singer hasn't had much luck with guys since her divorce from Nick Lachey
in 2005, but she feels a connection with Billy.
"She has completely fallen for Billy and his easygoing, smart attitude," a close friend of Jess said. "She says she wants to take things a lot further." On Sept. 11 Jessica tweeted, "My friend, Billy Corgan, has a pure and enlightening outlook on faith. Go to his new website!"
Her friends said Jessica has "secretly been crushing on him for months and felt there was a connection." Jessica spent an evening in November at a friend's party in L.A. flirting with Billy. "As the night went on," an eyewitness said, "Things got more intense and they talked with their faces just inches apart."
"We do worry that she is on the rebound," an insider
explained. "But she is a big girl and capable of making her own decisions."]
The writers at OK! need to settle down and stop jacking off Ashlee Simpson. Then again the "adoring husband" statute has been eased since the dawn of the Tigering we've taken lately. Pete Wentz seems absolutely upstanding, when cast in that shadow. Moving on to the more fun opinion piece, courtesy of Celebitchy:
[I heard or read this rumor a few days ago, and I didn't write anything about it because at this point, it seems like people are just picking names out of a hat and putting them beside Jessica Simpson. But things have changed... and now it looks like Jessica may actually be dating Billy Corgan, lead singer and lead guitarist for The Smashing Pumpkins. Billy is 42 years old, an indie rock god, divorced, and he used to date and live with Courtney Love. Before and after Kurt Cobain!
Now Ken Baker at E! has a source confirming this sh-t! Can you believe it? The source says: "She has fallen hard and is smitten...[they are] officially dating." The source adds that Jessica's close friends and family are thisclose to giving up on Jessica's love life: "[They think] he's just another in an endless string of Jessica's boyfriends. They think he's too old for her. No one takes any of her boyfriends seriously anymore because she has had so many. They're sick of all of them being 'the one.' " Ouch. With that kind of bitchiness, I'm thinking the "source" is Ken Paves? No, no - he loves Jessica, really he does. It sounds more like Ashlee.]
Ashlee does have a special way of giving her sis backhanded compliments - a cover for all the pent-up rage she experienced when she wasn't "the cute one." Anyone remember how she "defended" Jessica's weight? Enough said. But this post isn't about Ashlee, damnit. Many have wondered what Jessica and Billy could possibly have in common. A friend of mine came up with the perfect answer - big egos and small brains. Let's take bets on how long it takes before this thing implodes...
