Celebrity News & Gossip

Forget you, Star. Jessica Simpson will not let herself be known as Mistress No. Whatever-teen. The singer denies the gossip rag’s cover story that she traded phone numbers with an obviously up-for-it Tiger Woods near the end of her time with Tony Romo. “Can’t believe that I’m on the cover of star magazine with Tiger Woods, what a JOKE!” she tweeted. “‘The Shocking Inside Story’ is (insert drumroll) A LIE!” But…but…how can you deny that incontrovertible evidence on the cover? His hand is on her back! “Touchy Feely”!

Simpson notably has not used her Twitter to douse the fire that is her smoking hot alleged affair with aging alterna-rocker Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. OK! is ecstatic about the union, claiming Corgan “is very caught up in Jessica’s mystique” (who isn’t?) and that Simpson wants to bear his children (let’s hope the ghost of rival Kurt Cobain hears this—he could use the laugh). In Touch is more tentative, saying they’re “not exclusive” and quoting an irate Tila Tequila, who once dallied with Corgan herself. “I think Jessica Simpson is a waste of space. She can’t even put two and two together. She doesn’t show any female empowerment. She gets screwed over by her ex-boyfriends because she is all clingy. She should stop being so weak and stand up for yourself.” We’ll let you judge the degree of irony here.

Never in a million years would our grunge-loving high school selves have imagined that someone as artistic and anti-everything-mainstream as Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan would become just another dirty old man who likes to bang starlets. Most recently Corgan has found his E-harmonious 29 dimensions of compatibility with Jessica Simpson. The man who once wrote a song called “F*ck You (An Ode To No One)” paired with Miss Chicken of the Sea is beyond weird, but lately the two have been seen together hanging out in New York over the past several days, and a source says that Jess is “smitten.”

Corgan is notoriously temperamental, or at least he’s made out to be, and was been linked to Courtney Love a few times in  the past. All things considered, the coupling with Simpson is a surprising one, although he’s been making surprising decisions a lot of late, ever since he dated Tila Tequila earlier in the year. As a preacher’s kid, Simpson apparently finds Corgan to be a spiritual match, tweeting, “My friend, Billy Corgan, has a pure and enlightening outlook on faith. Go to his new website.” Maybe they’ll prove the old adage we learned in church that friends who pray together, stay together.  [Photos: GettyImages]

There’s always a bit of irony to the Bravo’s A-List Awards, but this coupling goes far beyond the call of duty. Tila Tequila apparently attended the ceremony with Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan, who really must be valuing attention ahead of credibility at this point. It’s a big drop for a guy who once dated model Helena Christiansen, but then again, he also dated Courtney Love.

We may be getting ahead of ourselves with talk of romance, but the pair looked pretty happy at Cecconi’s restaurant in LA following the show. It might not be long before Pumpkins fans hear him singing “Tila is the greatest…girl I’ve ever known” (You’re welcome, Pumpkins fans).

In 1996, freakshow fashion designer Alexander McQueen won his first British Designer Of The Year award. That same year, Billy Corgan’s Smashing Pumpkins enjoyed their first Top 20 hit, “1979.” Both hoodie enthusiasts were born on March 17th. Click on the photo to find out who’s older.
