 Jessica Simpson: Former and new guy honored
Entertainer Jessica Simpson was the blonde elephant in the room when two of her former and latest guy Dane Cook, John Mayer and Tony Romo were honored together at Cosmopolitan's Fun Fearless Male Awards.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo joked about the situation. When musing about what made him qualify as Cosmo's Fun, Fearless Male, Romo said, "Dane Cook, John Mayer, if you date Jessica Simpson, I guess".
The Jessica Simpson trend began when her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, was honored by the mag as 2007's Fun Fearless Male of the Year. Mayer got the top award this year.
Other honorees who have no connections with Jessica Simpson are John Krasinski (NBC's "The Office"), singer Chris Brown, rapper Common, Peter Krause (ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money"), Dave Annable (ABC's "Brothers and Sisters"), Animal Planet's Dave Salmoni and MySpace.com co-founder Tom Anderson.
Romo told The Associated Press that football makes him fearless, but so does being a celebrity athlete whose life off the field is tabloid fodder.
Romo said he tries to ignore the intense media glare into his personal life.
"You live life. I'm just trying to be a good person, trying to work hard and do things the right way," said Romo, who has also been linked to Carrie Underwood and actress Sophia Bush.
When asked about his offseason plans, Romo said he'll "probably just hang out with the guys, you know, get away a little bit and get back home."
Will Jessica Simpson come too?
He said, "Yes". |
