Jessica Simpson And Billy Corgan: So Weird, Right?
Texas pop star plus Smashing Pumpkins sulkmaster equals celeb romance math fail.
Last week we learned that Jessica Simpson and Billy Corgan have been dating on the sly since meeting at a party in November, and now we hear that Billy is "very caught up" in Jessica's "mystique" and she's talking babies. But Jessica's friends say that the new couple has nothing in common and that they're both using each other. Oh, whom to believe?! Finding Common Ground
First, we know that Jessica's dad set them up. Which is creepy! Apparently Joe Simpson and Billy are "friends," which makes about as much sense as Michael Lohan and Michael Stipe going clubbing together. Sources tell the various celebrity gossip rags that Jessica and Billy have religion in common—in September she tweeted, "My friend, Billy Corgan, has a pure and enlightening outlook on faith." She might not know much about the use of restrictive commas, but if theres one thing Jessica knows it's sizing up good Christian men at a glance. (Also, "mystique"? Code for vagina. Just so you know.)
A friend of Billy's, however, told In Touch that he's dating Jessica just for publicity, to sell his own album, but we call shenanigans. If he really wants publicity, he should knock up Jennifer Aniston. His ex-something (girlfriend? Fling? Shared a cab once?) Tila Tequila, that sage of interpersonal relationships, is throwing her tiny, germ-covered hat into the gossip ring as well, snarking, "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."
Yes, folks, that's a lesson on female empowerment—with bonus grammar fail!—from the star of A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila. Whatever's going on with Jessica and Billy, we think it's kind of strange, but a) not as strange as Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood and b) infinitely less gross than anything involving Tila and her harem of sluts of all genders.
