Gerard Butlermay canoodle on the red carpet with Jennifer Aniston and go to dinner with Jessica Simpson, but he isn’t dating either of them—at least not exclusively. Paparazzi saw the 300 star walk up to a violinist on the street in Venice Beach last night, make out with the woman, and then walk away with a wave (TMZ has the video). Honestly, with superstar studs like Butler, we’re surprised they aren’t spotted taking walk-by smooches more often, but this will probably put the kibosh on any rumors that Butler and his Bounty Hunter co-star are doing more than posing for steamy photos together.
Then again, it’s not like tabloids are going to run out of reasons (or, judging from his amorous antics, opportunities) to attach Butler to as many ladies as they can. The actor will play Scottish poet Robert Burns in an upcoming biopic, and the director promises to deliver a lot more than solilquoies. “Gerard and I are both totally committed to the film,” Vadim Jean told the Sunday Mail. “There’s plenty of sex and nude scenes in it. He was a notorious rake of his time. We are not whitewashing Burns by any means.” Wait, who’s the rake again—Butler or Burns? By the time this film comes out, we may have seen everything Butler has to show anyway.
Last night we came across this video of Jessica Simpsonusing an ear wax candle given to her for Christmas by her BFF hairdresser Ken Paves, and you know what? We totally fell in love with her. All past offenses - Chicken of the Sea, Mom jeans, every one of her songs, John Mayer - were forgiven the instant she shoved a candle in her ear and started screaming.
For as much as the manufactured Jessica has bugged us in the past, the real one always charms our Old Navy pants off. She’s goofy, likeable, naturally easy on the eyes, and willing to post a video to Twitter that reveals herself to be both awkward and a Papa John’s customer. Thank god she’s going to be on VH1 in 2010.
Jessica Simpson is dating Billy Corgan, but she had to take a little time away from her man when she went to the slammer last night! But not for long! The VH1 reality star showed up at the L.A. Country Sheriff’s Department in West Hollywood to try to bail out her pal and makeup artist Mary Phillips, who had been arrested for being drunk in public, but sadly Jessica had to leave without her friend.
“She was arrested for being drunk in public, and she was not released to Jessica because you can’t release someone who has not sobered up,” Deputy Aura Sierra said. “They’re going to release her a little later when she’s sobered up. I don’t know what time that will be. It could be a minimum of 6 to probably 8 hours.” Looks like we will see Jessica at the Jailhouse Part 2 this afternoon! [Source: Us Weekly; Photo: Getty Images]
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 wouldbecome 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]
The Great White Way welcomed Ashlee Simpson-Wentz to its ranks last night, with the “Pieces Of Me” star making her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago (she previously performed the role on London’s West End three years ago). Naturally, sister Jessica, husband Pete and father Joe were there to cheer her on.
“Roxie was all Heart!” wrote Jessica on her Twitter. “Watching her up on that grandiose stage made me the proudest sister in the world. I love ya honey, I love ya!” Added Joe, “Papa is soooo proud…” Pete was a little more coy. “There’s an afterparty for everything. Sorry you can’t get in. Don’t worry they suck. You’re not missing out.” Maybe he didn’t want to gush in public.
Watch Ash’s warm reception in the gallery below. Warning: if you hate Ashlee Simpson-Wentz already, her on-stage preening is not going to change anything.
Those Simpson sisters are always sticking up for each other. Jessica Simpson recently took to Twitter to knock Melrose Place, the CW show from which her sister Ashlee Simpson was fired, and now it is Ashlee who is sticking up for her oldest sister. “My sister has an incredible body. I feel sorry for anyone who would judge her, because she’s one sexy lady,” she says. “It’s disgusting that anyone would say those things,” referring to earlier this year when Jessica was blasted for her weight gain.
In fact, the mother of baby Bronx says she looks forward to the days when she will gain a few pounds. “There’s gonna be a time when I’m way curvier, and that’ll be sexy too,” she says. “What defines sexy is not someone’s weight. Personally I like curves…I wanna look good for me. I wanna to feel good.” [People; Photo: Getty Images]
Just after her sister Ashlee Simpson was fired from Melrose Place, Jessica Simpson took to Twitter to slam the program. “CW catching up on MP. Who writes this crap? I have had bad scripts to work with, but this? Thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press,” she wrote.
Funny, just less than two weeks ago, Jessica was rallying her Twitter followers to watch the show. “Everyone watch my sis on Melrose Place tonight,” she wrote on October 20th. A source claims Ashlee was canned because she can’t act. “They hired her because they needed a good name to create buzz, ” a “set insider” claims. “She’s the worst actress, but nobody will tell her.” [Source: Us Weekly; Photo: Getty Images]
Poor Jessica Simpson! Her Malti-Poo pooch, Daisy, was snatched by coyotes yesterday (Simpson Twittered “A coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!”) and she has been distraught and searching for the 5-year-old dog ever since.
Simpson rarely travels without the dog, who was a gift from ex-hubby Nick Lachey. She has been busy posting signs all over her Calabasas, CA neighborhood, hoping that someone will have found the dog alive - we’re really hoping this ends happily for Jess and she’s reunited with Miss Daisy.

Eff those fat accusations! Jessica Simpson showed all the haters that you can be a buffalo chicken wing-loving Southern girl and still work it on the runway just as ferociously as a rail-thin model who maintains a steady diet of Marlboro lights and Pellegrino. Jessica was a guest model at the Ozlem Suer fashion show in Paris, France today and strutted it in a gorgeous black gown. Own it! [Photos: Splash News Online]
