Jessica Simpson is taking issue with a recent article that came out in OK! magazine with the title, "Jessica Dumped!" The singer is furious that the article states that Ashlee Simpson has attempted to "distance herself" from her sister and that boyfriend, Tony Romo, broke it off with Jess once his team had been bumped out of the NFL playoffs.
In response, Jessica's legal team have sent a letter the magazine, refuting the claims made in the article and are asking for a retraction. According to them, OK! is ganging up on Jess, making her the object of ""public contempt, ridicule, aversion or disgrace." I do feel kind of bad for her, but maybe she should take this as a hint and just sort of cool it with the boyfriend thing for the moment and focus on her career.

Hey guys ...Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is on fire...there is more on WhyFame.com
Nanc' says:
No doubt.
Sometimes it's more telling when one "protests too much". Jess is a public figure; things will be written about her which aren't true and I can understand fighting an article that is truly damning but being dumped? Pretty lame.
Zekers says:
...and focus on what career?
peachpie says:
my question exactly, Zekers.... what career?
T-Bone says:
My question too, Zekers. I might be inclined to think she should focus on getting a job or going to school, as opposed to her "career". She seems like a relatively nice girl though. Kinda feel for her.
spaz says:
I hate to break it to Jessucka SIMPson's legal team, but OK! has nothing to do with making her the object of ""public contempt, ridicule, aversion or disgrace."
She (and her father) do it all on their own.
peachpie says:
and just for the record, i will NEVER go to that website mentioned above just because their posts are annoying, aggravating and bothersome. it's workin' my nerves again.
just go away. do yer whorin' somewhere else.
ac says:
she has a career???? in what???
OH, must be the same thing Paris Hilton has a career in.
yah says:
Okay, she IS focusing on her career. She's made a fortune off of being a lukewarm singer who is some other sorta kinda famous person's wife.
Mr. T says:
This hack has/had a career? Jess makes Paris Hilton look like she has talent.
T-Bone says:
Don't forget the wigs and extensions. I think she made some dough there.
peachpie says:
ohhh.... it's the 'pizza hut cheesy bites' career she's working on. duh me~!
Nanc' says:
And don't forget the ads for Macy's! (Damn me, I think those are pretty funny.) Plus, I'm sure she's still getting royalties for her newlywed series, commercials, Home Shopping Network crap, etc.
Bottom line: The girl is making a fine living doing what she can do but I still think the lawsuit about being "dumped" is b.s.
Caffeine Queen says:
She does seem nice--I actually used to like her on "Newlyweds," but the whole dumb blond thing got old. Plus, it almost seems like Ashlee has outgrown her, but I doubt that she's avoiding her sister.
It's their dad they should be avoiding. He's so blurg.
blah says:
If she has such an itch in her panties over this, she obviously sounds like she's very fragile and the whole situation is likely very true. I'm getting a weird stalky vibe out of Jessica. I feel like she's getting so desperate that when she does get dumped by this guy, she'll end up with a bottle of Jack, barefoot in the middle of the driveway asking him why he can't just love her.
kendall says:
doesn't the article say "The singer is furious that the article states that Ashlee Simpson has attempted to "distance herself" from her sister and that boyfriend, Tony Romo, broke it off with Jess once his team had been bumped out of the NFL playoffs."? She's not the least bit upset that her sister says she is attemting to distance herself... or is that part true, so they're not asking for a retraction there? She's an idoit.

Someone needs some attention. Poor girl! What a phony biotch.

What about him says:
Yeah, hate Jessica -- but nice hooded sweatshirt and backwards cap. Are you 12?
Who gives a F*ck about either of these two twits?

Tiffie says:
How'd you like to have a dad like that - so overtly pimpish with evangelical hair. Can I get an AMEN?
Run, Tony, RUN!
LeeLaa says:
Poor Tony..he's turned into the biggest joke since dating her!! Before all this Jessicunt B.S. he was always laughing and smiling and joking with the media and after he got with her all he ever did was bitch and complain about whatever in his conferences. I use to like him..but now he just annoys the hell out of me.
Suing a GOSSIP magazine (which by their way is their JOB to print GOSSIP) is lame and stupid. It just shows how pathetic she is. Can't wait for the day her and her creepy ass family go away!
