POSTED BY NIKI | Jessica Meets
Tony's Parents at Olive Garden
Jessica Simpson 27, met beau Tony Romo's parents on June 27, when all of them had dinner at an Olive Garden in Janesville, Wisc. Romo, 28, who grew up in nearby Burlington, was home to play in a golf tournament. But making a reservation at the Olive Garden surprised even the restaurant’s general manager. "We thought it was a big joke," said Doug Belfanz. "Jessica Simpson's not going to the Olive Garden in Janesville, Wisconsin!" Yep, actually, she did. Simpson, wearing a casual blouse and blue jeans, walked in holding hands with Romo, who wore a T-shirt and baseball cap. Simpson had wine with her three-cheese ziti, but seemed more interested in Romo. "She scooted up next to him during the meal," says Belfanz. "They were acting like a couple." After dinner, they posed for a photo with the staff and signed autographs. Sneaking out through the kitchen, Simpson complimented the chefs on the meal. "They were laughing," Belfanz says. "It was just a big family being out."

POSTED BY NIKI | Tony To Spend Time With Jessica And Family
It was only appropriate that Bendt Bendtsen III plopped down 13 boxes of golf balls near the register Sunday night to fulfill his pro shop credit after winning the 42nd annual Ray Fischer Amateur Championship. The handpicked baker's dozen from the baker himself represented more than a nice touch, however, as Bendtsen cooked up a handful of eagles and a number of birdies in the final two rounds to earn his first Fischer victory after topping Marquette sophomore-to-be Kelly Kretz on the second playoff hole. Burlington native and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo withdrew before completing his final round. A source said he wanted to spend time with his family and girlfriend, Jessica Simpson, before flying back to Texas.

POSTED BY NIKI | Tony Romo's Healthy, Happy With Jessica Simpson
No need to worry about Tony Romo withdrawing from that golf tourney in Wisconsin yesterday. He departed early so he could catch a plane and get back to Valley Ranch for informal workouts. Romo was four shots off the lead entering Sunday, but he fell back after shooting a 74. Would he have bolted if he was in contention for the title? Reckon we'll never know for sure, but he's clearly more concerned about trying to win a Lombardi Trophy than whatever the winner of the Ray Fischer State Medal Play Championship gets. Nevertheless, it says something about the dude's commitment to the Cowboys that he cuts short a weekend with his family and girlfriend to fly back to Dallas to throw to his receivers. Oh, that's the other good news. Romo and Jessica Simpson appear to have gotten through a rough patch in their relationship. They were spotted in a Janesville, Wisc. restaurant Friday, per the town's newspaper.

POSTED BY NIKI | Janesville's Flooded With Text Messages About
Jessica
I wish there was a way to count the number of text messages sent across Janesville on Friday night as friends told friends that Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson were at the Olive Garden. Really? The Olive Garden? That absolutely cracked me up. Walking back to my car after Freedom Fest, about every other word I heard drifting out of front lawns and garages was "Jessica." I got three texts myself, including one from my brother, who normally only texts about twice a year and only about fishing. I was guilty of sending two texts. I claimed it was because I thought it was funny, but I suppose I'm guilty of a little long-distance star gazing. Romo, a Burlington native, is in town for the Ray Fischer State Medal Play Championship at Riverside Golf Course. Sports reporter John Barry said the couple were at Spirits Thursday night. If Jessica's bored today, I would show her around Janesville. I think I'd get her a diet Sun Drop and take her to Carousel Consignments. Then Italian House for lunch. Or El Jardin if she's tired of Italian. Then I would take her picture in front of Bessie the Cow. Finally, we'd go to Frostee Freeze. That's a good day.

Tony Romo doesn’t need the publicity. The Burlington native gets plenty of that as the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. And dating Jessica Simpson—the two were spotted in a Janesville restaurant Friday night—keeps the paparazzi busy, as well.

POSTED BY NIKI | From Cellar Singers To Superstar Jessica Simpson
Today, the 35-year-old Nashville resident is enjoying the breakout success of the Jessica Simpson country tune "Come On Over," a song Banks and frequent collaborator Rachel Proctor co-wrote with the music superstar. "We were pretty nervous to meet her. She's a pretty huge celebrity," Banks said of Simpson. The jitters were unwarranted. "She was so open and warm and candid," recalled Banks. An admirer of their song "Remember That," which centres on the subject of domestic abuse, Simpson was eager for the duo's help on her debut country album. Banks, a native of Port Carling and a graduate of Bracebridge and Muskoka Lakes Secondary School, ended up contributing to three songs on the CD. READ MORE

POSTED BY NIKI | Jessica Simpson Plans First Country Concert
Jessica Simpson has booked an appearance during the Country Thunder USA festival in Twin Lakes, Wis., in what her representatives say is her first full concert since shifting from pop music into country. Jessica’s performance comes July 19, on the final day of a four-day event that features more than 40 acts, including Sugarland, Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, Sara Evans and Taylor Swift. From all appearances, she’ll be quite happy to let the fans form a first-hand impression of her and her music. She’s most often been presented to the public through the tabloids, but she says that much of what’s been written about her is littered with errors and incorrect speculation. "As far as tabloids are concerned, they’re gonna do that no matter what," she told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "If I’m walking down the street holding a Starbucks, they’re gonna talk about that or they’re gonna talk about my relationships. I’d rather people hear the truth than make up something, so they can say whatever they want to about the music." The music on her first country album, due this fall, will represent her truthfully — at least at an emotional level. "Most of the music is from real-life experiences," she said. "I can’t sing about something that I haven’t gone through. I can’t make you fall in love with that song if I can’t relate to it." Jessica’s first country single, "Come On Over," is currently in the Top 30 on the Country Aircheck chart.

POSTED BY NIKI | Rachel Proctor Comments On The
View With Jessica
Rachel Proctor has written this beautiful message on her MySpace page about performing with Jessica on The View:
"So ...I've done a lot of things in my life but singing with Jessica Simpson on The View has to rank as the most overwhelming moment ever. I rehearsed the song with her several times over the last few days but I just wasn't ready for what came over me while on stage with her this morning. We got to the first chorus and it was like my breath was taken away. The happiness I felt singing "Come On Over" on national television was almost more than I could take. I wanted to let it overcome me but then I would've been sobbing like a thankful little baby. Every time I thought about Victoria in Nashville watching on TV I got choked up. Vic and I have worked really hard this year and it feels really good to start reeping some of the benefits. We were the number 3 most downloaded song on Itunes yesterday. All I can say is WOW!!!! I feel so honored to be a part of what Jessica is doing. Not just because I co-wrote the song but because of Jessica and who she is. Jessica is a wonderful person with a great big heart. I've never felt more welcomed or respected by a peer than I do with Jess. She is truly in her element singing country music and I can see it and feel it when I'm around her. She's as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. So here's the big news I've been wanting to share with everyone.... I'm going to tour with Jessica this summer and sing background vocals on the road. I'm so excited. I've got three songs on her album due out this fall including "Remember That" which sounds amazing. I know so many of you love that song. WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR JESSICA SING IT!!!! OMG it is sooooo good. I know I sound like I'm gushing about her but I just want all of my fans to know how awesome she is and how lucky we are to have her in our genre of music. Open up your hearts and let her in. You will NOT be disappointed."

POSTED BY NIKI | A New View of Jessica Simpson
I’ve never been into cliques. Not in high school, and not now. But I do feel like the Nashville elite is being invaded by pop stars, and I’m not sure I like it. To say I’m skeptical of their intentions is an understatement. So I was really surprised to find myself loving Jessica Simpson on The View this morning. (The sound itself was terrible, but that was because it was live TV and was held outdoors, not because of anything Simpson did wrong.) She may not have looked all that country today, in a short blue silk dress and beige slingbacks. Gone were the cut-offs and cowboys boots from her Dukes of Hazzard days. But her song “Come On Over” is just country enough to pull a few fans in. Lyrically, the story is just a PG-13 booty call. But Simpson makes it sound so much better than that. Her voice is more sexy than twangy, but sexy works. And her vocals complement the steel guitar much like they complemented the banjo picking in her version of “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.” But just because she was raised in Dallas and has some sort of jones for Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, I don’t believe everything she said today. Like how she’s going to be playing a lot of state fairs and eating a lot of funnel cakes. I doubt that. And how the first time she heard the single on country radio, she was on her way home from church with Tony Romo. Please. But if country radio accepts her beyond the novelty of another pop-gone-country act, I can certainly go along with that. She may have come in the side door, but that voice is always going to keep her front and center.

"We've been together for … seven to almost eight months now," Simpson, 27, said of the Dallas Cowboys star, 28, on The View, before she performed "Come On Over," the first single from her upcoming debut country album. "I don't really know about wedding bells … I still love him, and I'm still with him, so that's a good sign." As for her sister Ashlee, who's pregnant, Simpson said, "She sent me a picture of her belly. She's popping, it's so cute!" You can watch the video of the interview at people.com.

They asked her about marriage and she said she did not know but they have been together for 7 almost 8 months and she loves him and that's a good sign.. She talked about Dolly Parton pretty much the same stuff we been hearing in the news.. The ladies told Jessica how much they love her and that Sherri and Elizabeth always wear her shoes.. She talked about her perfume coming out August 9th. She said she will be going to Tony games on Sunday and she has been spending a lot of time in Dallas.. They asked her have she sung the National Anthem at the Cowboys game and she said she has but Tony was not on the team when she did it.. She mention she will be touring this summer at different fairs...Also they asked her about Ashlee, she talked to her last night and asked her to send her a picture of her belly..

Lewis: There’s not anyone that anyone else would consider a local celebrity, but I consider all of my clients local celebrities. I am working on [getting] Jessica Simpson, because [her stylist] Ken Paves can’t always make it out to Dallas, I’m sure, and I know she’s in town a lot. Hopefully, she’ll read a few of these things and want me in her head. She has such beautiful hair, and I’m not saying I can do a better job than Ken — but I can probably do a better job than Ken.

POSTED BY NIKI | Floyds Knobs Girl Meets Her Idol Jessica Simpson
At
18-years-old, Kristin Pullen started school at Bellarmine University like
many other students — excited, yet undecided in her major. Just weeks
after school started, Pullen went down a path that not only gave her
direction, but led her to meet her idol, Jessica Simpson. “I started
having like bone pain in my legs and I started bruising really bad and I
kept getting really sick,” the now 20-year-old said. “Then in October
of 2006, I was diagnosed with AML, which is acute myelogenous leukemia.”
During her treatment, Kids Wish Network contacted her, saying she could
make any request she wanted, such as going on an exotic trip or meeting
someone famous. “It wasn’t too hard of a decision,” Pullen said.
“[Jessica Simpson’s] the person I’ve pretty much wanted to meet out
of everybody. She’s my role model.” Pullen completed her chemotherapy
treatments that April and went into complete remission. However, she still
had not heard anything back about her wish. Then it became a reality when
this spring, she found out that she and her mother were not only going to
meet Pullen’s idol, but get to fly to Los Angeles to stay for the visit,
all expenses paid. The two got to sit in Simpson’s studio as she
recorded tracks for her new CD coming out this fall. Simpson then sat down
and chatted with the two. “She actually did most of the talking. She
asked me more questions than I asked her,” Pullen said. Topics included
Simpson’s boyfriend, Tony Romo. “She’s crazy about him,” Pullen
said. Simpson also talked about her divorce to Nick Lachey and how she
handled that hard time in her life. She gave Pullen a book of daily
inspiration that was given to her after her separation. “It made me
realize that people that seem happy 24/7 go through the same struggles as
us normal people do,” Pullen said. “I realized her life isn’t all
perfect like it appears to be.” Pullen said Simpson is still her role
model, even more so now than before. “She was so friendly and so
nice,” Pullen said. “She was just so, like, real. She wasn’t stuck
up one bit.” Pullen’s mother, Valerie Pullen, had thought Simpson was
a good singer before she went, but that was about it. “I wasn’t real
impressed with her until after I met her,” Valerie said. “(But)
Jessica was just so sweet. It was just a wonderful day. Kristin said it
was the best day of her whole life.” Valerie said it was wonderful
watching her daughter’s wish come true after she had been through so
much. “It was just great. It was really great,” Valerie said. Kristin
said she now knows her direction she wants to take. The 20-year-old plans
on going to Ivy Tech this fall to become a nurse practitioner. She want to
be a nurse on “7 west,” which is Kosair Children’s Hospital oncology
unit in Louisville. “Hopefully, I could give some hope to them and their
families,” Kristin said. Valerie said this whole experience taught her
the importance of donating blood and platelets, which cancer patients go
through a lot of. She said she regularly donates now to help others who
are going through what her daughter did. Kristin is still in remission.
She said her 18-month mark is in October. She said at that point, there
will only be a 2 to 3 percent chance the cancer will return.

POSTED BY NIKI | Will Jessica Simpson sing on 'The View'?
Jessica Simpson's appearance on "The View" is being promoted as "the television debut performance of her brand new hit single, 'Come On Over.'" But will she actually sing? I ask that question -- partly in jest -- because Jessica recently appeared as a guest emcee at B-93's Birthday Bash on Sunday at the Ionia Fairgrounds, but instead of making the most out of an opportunity to perform in front of 70,000 to 80,000 fans, she allowed a recorded version of the song to be played after her on-stage Q&A. Press reporter Sue Merrell, who attended both days of the Bash, said many in the crowd were caught off guard with her appearance. "A lot of fans just turned around and said to each other, 'Huh?," Merrell said. Merrell talked to a few fans: "Is she going to perform?" asked Lisa Goodrich, of Grand Ledge, as the recording played. "It's good for her to get out and promote the song, but it's kind of stupid if she's not going to perform. I think everybody's kind of shocked that she would be at Birthday Bash, because she's just starting as a country singer. And the song isn't that country." Her companion, Jackie Green, of Grand Rapids, said she is a big fan of Jessica Simpson but wasn't aware she had released a country song. B-93 program director Doug Montgomery said the singer just didn't have enough rehearsal time to perform live. Plus, the goal was just "exposure." READ MORE

POSTED BY NIKI | Jessica Credits Dolly Parton With Saving Her
Singing Career
Jessica Simpson is thrilled to say she has developed a friendship with her longtime idol, Dolly Parton. The two even collaborated on Simpson's upcoming debut country album. Judging from their very first meeting, however, Simpson never would have guessed the legendary singer would be so supportive. After all, Simpson's first meeting with Parton came on the heels of her flubbed tribute to the singer during the Kennedy Center Honors in 2006, as she told us: "The very first time that I met Dolly was after I completely tortured '9 To 5'at a tribute for her, and I messed the lyrics up. My boyfriend had broken up with me that day. I couldn't even focus on stage and I was in front of the President and everybody. Afterwards my chin started quivering and I just started crying and then I walked off stage and I said, 'I will never absolutely never sing again -- ever in my life.'" Simpson said she was literally ready to hang up her singing career until Parton offered her kind words of comfort and encouragement. "Afterwards Dolly was like, 'Don't you let that get you down. I wanna hear you keep singing,' and I was like, 'I am so sorry,' and she was like, 'I don't even want you to apologize. Let's take a picture and we'll end up working together some day.' Then she wrote me a letter 'cause all the media and the press were really, really hard on me, and I knew that that was gonna happen. She even went as far as to say, 'I will always love you' and I just cried and cried reading the letter that she had sent me, but it was so encouraging." Simpson recorded a song Parton wrote called "Do You Know?" for her upcoming album, which Parton also joined her in singing.

POSTED BY NIKI | Romo Stays True To Roots
Having such a high-profile celebrity for a son can get a little difficult, such as when strangers stop and stare at the Romo’s Burlington home or even knock on their door. And it sure can get downright irritating when the Romos come across frequent celebrity gossip about their son which they know isn’t true. Ramiro is about as kind and sweet-tempered as they come. But ask him about all this gossip, especially concerning Jessica Simpson, and you’ll hear an edge quickly develop in his voice. “You know what? All of it is untrue,” Ramiro said. “It’s just a magazine that is trying to sell their publication and dirt sells. I just want everyone to know that none of the stuff they’re writing is true. Everything is between Jessica and Tony. We know Jessica, we know her family and they are outstanding people. But we do not comment on their personal lives.” It’s been said that great people talk about ideas, ordinary people talk about events and small people talk about other people. And it’s a given that love endures. The Romo family has that love. Take it from someone who knows. READ MORE

POSTED BY NIKI | Jessica Plays B-93 Bash; Attendance Soars
Jessica Simpson, best known as a pop singer, made a surprise visit Sunday afternoon to West Michigan's biggest country-music festival, the B-93 Birthday Bash in Ionia. It had been rumored that Simpson would make an appearance. She released her first country-music single ``Come On Over'' in May on Columbia Nashville Records, a SonyBMG label. The song stands at No. 33 on the Country Billboard chart after debuting at No. 41 -- reported to be the highest chart debut for a solo artist with no prior history on the country chart, according to Billboard.com. Simpson has been attempting to redefine herself as a country-music artist before the release of her new album this fall. There was good reason for her to show up at this past weekend's birthday bash: It draws large numbers. Preliminary figures show the crowd may have been the largest since the annual event returned to Ionia four years ago. ``It's difficult to pick a number,'' said David Bulling, Ionia's director of public safety. ``But the crowds today and yesterday are as big as any year, maybe bigger.'' Last year's crowd was estimated as 50,000 to 65,000 a day. From the stage Sunday afternoon, B-93 on-air personality Broadway estimated attendance at 80,000. at's a dramatic increase since the radio station drew an estimated 30,000 fans to its first Birthday Bash, on July 24, 1993, in Ionia, held exactly a year after the station went on the air. The music fest eventually moved to the Allegan County Fairgrounds for 11 years, where it grew steadily in attendance and number of acts. In 2005, the bash returned to its original home at the Ionia Fairgrounds. The big performance at the Bash Sunday was country-music singer and songwriter Gretchen Wilson. Wilson came out strong, like the women she portrays in her music, kicking off her gig with a fist-pounding rendition of ``Here For The Party.'' ``I'm here,'' she sang, and then the music stopped, creating an uproar in the audience. Wilson ended with her hit ``Redneck Woman.''

end of the day, I was so overwhelmed with emotion about this new chapter
of my life, that when I got in the car to ride home, my close friends and
I all joined hands and prayed out loud. I am more and more thankful
everyday that God has given me this opportunity to sing for you guys! A
couple of weeks ago, I went to Tony Evans' church in Dallas, and one thing
he said that stuck with me is that "in God's silence, He's never
still." It made me look back and understand that all the prayers I
thought God didn't hear were being answered in their own way and in their
own time. Just wanted to write and share that with yall 'cause I love ya!

POSTED BY NIKI | Billboard Music Review
Pop princess and tabloid queen Jessica Simpson needed to hit a home run with her country debut if she wanted any shot of being accepted in a skeptical carpetbagger's world, which has recently been inundated by the Eagles, John Mellencamp, Darius Rucker, Bon Jovi and Jewel. How about this? Mission accomplished and then some. Sexy, flirtatious "Come On Over" is everything it needs to be -- undeniably country and not forced. Simpson shines on a steel-guitar-laden track that finds her pleading with a beau to drop everything for a little loving. Is it the most thought-provoking tune in recent years? No, but Simpson is convincingly ready to play in the country arena.

POSTED BY NIKI | "Come On Over" Review in Rolling
Stone
For her new album she's making like Jewel and going back to her country-western roots. Surprisingly, her first twangy single is a slick treat. Begging a boy to drop his dirty dishes and come to bed, Simpson keeps it simple and on a Shania Twain-esque foot-stomper built on energetic acoustic and slide guitars.

POSTED BY NIKI | Jessica Simpson To Design Country Clothes
Country is all Jessica Simpson is thinking about right now, and she may be taking it a little far on this latest venture. Jess is planning on developing a country-western clothing line. She's done so well with the shoes, sunglasses, and bathing suits, that she figured, why not? And Papa Joe is behind her every step of the way. He thinks a new designer denim and western wear clothing line will help Jess expand her fan base and help with her new image. Jess does know her jeans! The girl is practically in a new pair every day. We'll have to see how this one pans out. Jessica Simpson brand items are usually on the cheesy side, but we're anxious to see what she comes up with! Just no fringe please!

"Jessica
called into Dallas radio station yesterday at 2:00pm. KSCS 96.3. I knew
you all would want to hear so I tried to write down everything."
DJ- Hi Jessica! What are you doing right now?
JS- I'm driving around in LA. I'm here shooting my video.
DJ- We've been playing your new single.
JS- I know. I heard it for the first time on the radio. Tony and I
went to church in Oak Cliff (this is an old part of Dallas, high
population of African Americans) and I heard it. We rolled the windows
down and were singing. He knows all the words. I was really excited. I had
goose bumps.
DJ- What is it like to watch TMZ and read the tabloids?
JS- Rumors are so frustrating. Its sad how people believe this
stuff. Music is my outlet to embrace the truth. I'm just a normal girl.
This is my place in life. I love what I do.
DJ- What about the rumors with your Dad?
JS- The rumors are not true My dad is not controlling and in the
middle of my relationship. My Dad is just an amazing Dad and Mgr. And my
Dad did not fit me for a training bra. That is just so wrong. Ha Ha Ha

POSTED BY NIKI | Jessica Simpson Explains "9 To 5"
Meltdown
When Dolly Parton was toasted at the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in December 2006, much of the press surrounding the event focused not only on Dolly, but on Jessica Simpson, who flubbed a performance, then left the stage in tears. Jessica had been divorced from Nick Lachey for less than six months at the time, and on reflection, she really wasn’t ready to perform in public. "I completely tortured ‘9 to 5,’" Jessica told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "I messed the lyrics up, and my boyfriend broke up with me that day. I couldn’t even focus on stage, and I was in front of the president and everybody. Afterwards, my chin started quivering. I just started crying...and then I walked offstage, and I said, 'I will absolutely never sing again, ever in my life.' It made me afraid to go on stage. After going through a divorce, I was always used to my ex-husband standing side stage when I was done. I only performed twice during that [time], and every time I broke down onstage crying. I was dealing with a lot of pain and trying to heal, and it was such a process." Obviously Jessica changed her mind about never singing again. She’s working on her first country album, and who was among the first to offer encouragement? Well, that would be Dolly. "Afterwards," Jessica noted, "Dolly was like, ‘Don’t you let that get you down. I want to hear you keep singing.’ I was just like, ‘I’m so sorry.’ And she’s like, ‘I don’t even want you to apologize. Let’s take a picture, and we’ll end up working together someday.’ And then she wrote me a letter, ‘cause all the media and the press were really, really hard on me, and I knew that was going to happen. And she even went as far as to say, ‘I will always love you.’ I just cried and cried reading the letter that she sent me, but it was so encouraging." That makes it quite appropriate that Dolly has a song slated for Jessica’s first country album. It’s titled "Do You Know," and Dolly will be singing on the song, as well.

POSTED BY NIKI | Simpson Slammed By Animal Rights Group
Singer/actress Jessica Simpson has come under fire by an animal rights group for voicing her love of meat - through a slogan on her T-shirt. Simpson was photographed wearing a top bearing the words "Real Girls Eat Meat". But leading animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) has condemned her choice of clothes. A spokesman tells TheCelebrityTruth.com, "Jessica Simpson's meaty wardrobe malfunction makes us thankful that no one is looking to her for food advice. Chicken-of-the-Sea anyone? The woman who thought that Buffalo 'Wings' came from buffalos would benefit from some good veggie brain food."

We caught up with Jess and Tony Romo stopping by the grocery store for supplies yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, Jessica had to leave her dog Daisy in the car (with the window cracked, of course) while the couple shopped inside. Jess more than made it up to Daisy as soon as the Texas twosome returned, though - wait until you see how cute she looks enjoying her playtime with her pooch! source: x17online.com.

POSTED BY NIKI | Tony Romo Speaks Out About Jessica's Dad
Speaking
for the first time about reports that Joe Simpson was interfering with his
relationship with Jessica Simpson and his business affairs – and that
his parents did not approve of or get along with the Simpson family –
Tony Romo released a statement to PEOPLE saying, "It's all
laughable.” Romo, 28, and Simpson, 27, have been dogged by rumors that
her father has been meddling in their nearly seven-month-old courtship. In
his statement, Romo insisted that characterization is "so far from
the truth." A source also confirmed that Romo's father, Ramiro, went
to the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga., with Joe Simpson earlier
this year and "had a great time." And there was more family bonding when, after spending a couple of days in
Dallas, the singer and Romo shared a lunch date Friday with pregnant
sister Ashlee Simpson and new husband Pete Wentz at a Chili's in Encino,
Calif. "Jess was giggling and grabbing onto Tony. They were both very
natural and sweet with each other," says a source. "It was cute
to see the sisters and their guys having such a good time."
