JACKASS star BAM MARGERA has gone public with his Jessica Simpson romance, admitting the fling ended his volatile romance with on/off girlfriend JENNIFER RIVELL. The Viva Bam star, who is now married to childhood sweetheart Missy Rothstein, was romantically linked to Simpson after she split from husband Nick Lachey in 2005.

Simpson has always denied reports, despite Margera’s boasts during interviews that he briefly dated the pop star. And now Margera is coming clean about the romance, admitting his Simpson fling came to an end when his former fiancee found out about it. Margera says, “We were seeing each other for a while - but that whole Hollywood thing just isn’t me. I guess it was good it happened though.

“The stories about me and Jessica prompted my ex, who I had been seeing on and off, to go nuts. She went crazy. “She broke thousands of dollars worth of s**t at my house and all the rest of it - but at least it gave me a good excuse to dump her. “I got rid of her after that, so, in a way, I can be grateful to Jessica Simpson. She helped me on the path of true love.” Margera wed Rothstein in February (07).

JESSICA SIMPSON’s plans to go country have been given a boost - WILLIE NELSON has agreed to pen tracks for her next album.

 The pop star/actress’ manager-father Joe Simpson revealed his daughter’s plans to record a country album in a recent interview - and the With You singer insists she’s completely serious.

The pretty Texan says, “My next album is probably going to be with Willie Nelson. I’ve been wanting to do a country record because it’s in my roots.” Simpson admits she came up with the idea of working with country legend Nelson when they played family in the 2005 comedy, Dukes of Hazzard.

She explains, “I aspire to be like Patsy Cline. Willie actually turned me on to her because he used to be one of her background singers.”

Actress Jessica Simpson (27) says, “Skipping my strenuous workout routine is never an option.I basically work out two hours a day five to six days a week.“Last night I got to go to the gym at 10… and I was on the treadmill for an hour.I have a white-girl bootie so to lift it a bit, I do three sets of 20 reps of squats, lunges and jump squats.They kill me, but they really work.”

It is being rumoured that Jessica Simpson has been a brat on the set of her new film, Major Movie Star, but her co-star Vivica A Fox has come to her defense.“Those vicious lies they put out were just that — lies,” Fox (43) said during an event for the fashion label Young, Fabulous & Broke at the LG House in Malibu.In fact, Fox said that Simpson was anything but a diva. “She was so much of a team player. She was gracious and so down to earth.”

Jessica Simpson had a recent scare
while filming her next film, Major Movie Star, in which she plays a Hollywood actress who joins the Army.

While filming some of the action sequences, Jessica broke her nose after accidentally hitting herself in the face with a gun. “I was running with a gun over my head and fell over and broke my nose, it really hurt!”

What makes this accident even more traumatic for the Blonde Ambition actress is that she feels that her nose is her best asset, and it is what sets her apart from the competition.

“There are a lot of girls with a similar body to mine, but my nose is special and unique to me,” Jess proclaims.
While discussing the social impact of her broken nose, Jessica also revealed that she dresses to please the opposite sex. She admitted to picking her clothes with the intention of trying to get a mouth-dropping, tongue- drooling stare from any man with a heartbeat. “I dress for men, and also for myself. But if I am dressing for men, then I know it’s good for myself. Curves are better. Honestly, movie stars and models should be voluptuous and beautiful.”
