"I'm still with him, so that's a good sign," she says on The View

Body

On The View Wednesday, Jessica Simpson declared she and Tony Romo are still going strong.

"We're still together ... we've been together for about seven months — almost eight," she said on the live show from Las Vegas. "I don't know about wedding bells ... but I'm still with him, so that's a good sign."

After her appearance Simpson (who was accompanied by her father Joe and hairstylist Ken Paves) greeted fans and posed for photos as she walked out of Caesars Palace.

As Us previously reported, Romo and Simpson had cooled things off after Joe began interfering in the relationship (he wanted to take over Romo's NFL career). A source said Romo gave Jessica an ultimatum: Tell dad to back off!

See photos of Simpson and other stars making out.

Simpson also performed her new country single "Come on Over."

"[My divorce] made me shut down for a while, but now I'm back," she says

Body

Jessica Simpson opened up about her dad during a radio interview in Colton, CA on K-FROG 95.1 Tuesday.

"There have been stories that are ridiculous," Simpson said (Watch above). "Like my father really fit me for a training bra. Like, who believes that kind of thing!?"

The singer was on the show to promote her new country album.

"I really just wanted to showcase the talent that God has given me and I don't believe that in pop music I ever had the chance to stand on two feet and stand firm," Simpson said.

And though her new single "Come on Over" is receiving positive feedback, Simpson revealed, "My greatest fear is failure... failing or disappointing my fans from the pop world."

When asked if she will be wearing a blue jersey to Dallas Cowboys football player beau Tony Romo's games, the singer laughed, "No more pink ones!"

(See photos of Jessica and Tony making out and other celeb PDA.)

Simpson also touched on the emotional repercussions of her divorce from Nick Lachey.

(See Simpson's most famous splits).

"With Newlyweds people really got in on my life and got to see my personality on a weekly basis," she said. "Then after going through the divorce and what not it made me shut down for a while, but now I"m back and really confident."

Body

Did Jessica Simpson try to start a food fight with Tony Romo's ex Carrie Underwood?

The singer, 27, wore a "Real Girls Eat Meat" T-shirt (which she got for free from steakhouse Primehouse New York) during a weekend outing with Romo, who dated Underwood in 2007.

See photos of other stars' T-shirt messages.

Underwood was named PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian in 2005.

PETA quickly jumped to Underwood's defense.

"Jessica Simpson's meaty wardrobe malfunction makes us thankful that no one is looking to her for food advice. Chicken-of-the-Sea, anyone?" a PETA rep tells Usmagazine.com. "The woman who thought that Buffalo 'Wings' came from buffalos would benefit from some good veggie brain food."

Adds the rep: "We're rushing Jessica one of our Vegetarian Starter Kits."

Check out the many loves of Jess and Ashlee.

Joe Simpson: I'm Not a Controlling Father

Jessica and Ashlee tell him how it is, not the other way around, he says

Body

In the wake of Us Weekly’s cover story that Jessica Simpson's controlling father was the main source behind her May split from Tony Romo, Joe Simpson tells “Extra” he’s not the controlling father he’s made out to be.

“The media says that I try to plan everything - If I had half of the power they give me…They [Ashlee and Jessica] don’t call me and ask me. They call me and tell me.”

He adds that Jessica “... is as happy as I’ve seen her in years.” and gushes about the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, “He’s a great guy. I love Tony to death….He’s just a good kid….”

Us reports in the current issue that Joe asked Romo, 28, to let him help represent him. As tension grew, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback gave Jessica an ultimatum: Tell dad to back off!

Joe tells Extra that the public has many misconceptions about him as his daughters’ manager. “For all those people thinking I’m sipping Piña Coladas on the beach and enjoying millions of dollars and having this great life – Bull..I work seven days a week, 24/7."

Simpson, who officiated daughter Ashlee’s wedding to Pete Wentz, says, “I love Pete to death…He has a patient spirit and a kind heart…I’m honored to have Pete as my son-in-law.”

Although Simpson tells “Extra” that the sex of Ashlee’s baby, which will be his first grandchild is unknown, “I would love to have a boy, but I know how to raise girls so I’m good with that.”

Jessica Simpson's Dad Offers to Sell "Engagement," Enrages Tony Romo

Joe Simpson: “It’s unfair to criticize me"

Body

In its new issue, Us Weekly reports that Jessica Simpson's controlling father Joe has brought her relationship with Tony Romo to the brink and was the main source behind their split in May.

A source tells Us Joe asked Romo, 28, to drop his agent so he could take over his NFL career and $67.5 million contract.

He even offered to broker a deal to sell his engagement and wedding to a magazine should Romo and Jessica, 27, get engaged. "'If you guys have a marriage, I can do the same [sell it] that I did with Ashlee,'" a source quotes Joe as saying.

As tension grew, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback gave Jessica an ultimatum: Tell dad to back off!

(See photos of Jessica and Tony making out and other celeb PDA.)

When asked for comment by Us, Joe defended himself, telling Us, “It’s unfair to criticize me for what every manager does for his or her clients. And in this business, where people can quickly turn on you, who better than a parent to be working for his children?"

Romo was also turned off by Jessica's partying, another source adds. "Tony goes out and he will drink socially, but he said Jess takes it to an extreme," the pal tells Us.

For now, a source says Romo and Simpson are back on, in "a talking stage."

Adds the source of their relationship, "it's in a middle-of-the-road state."

Report: Tony Romo Tells Jessica Simpson Her Dad "Had to Back Off"

Alissa R — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:05:26 -0400

The quarterback's college pal says he and the singer's relationship is now on a "trial run"

Body

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are back on — but under one condition.

Her notoriously controlling father Joe needs to stay away.

A pal from Romo's Eastern Illinois University tells the Chicago Sun-Times that the Dallas Cowboys quarterback "did agree to go to [sister Ashlee's] wedding -- keeping his promise to Jessica, but he made it super-clear that if they were to give it another go, her dad had to seriously back off."

Their relationship, the pal added, is "a trial thing," depending on Joe "leaving them alone" and not trying to manage Romo's life, career and endorsement deals.

Read what a body language expert had to say about their relationship.

Split rumors surfaced the week that Ashlee got hitched. Pete Wentz refused to comment on them, telling Ryan Seacrest, "I don't know anything about what's going on with them."

Romo was noticeably absent from a recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, that the singer took with her parents. While leaving the airport, she was photographed wearing a Dallas Cowboys cap, suggesting a reconciliation.
