Many a man has tired of Jessica Simpson. Many a woman his tired of Jessica Simpson. In fact, many a houseplant has tired of Jessica Simpson. She just strikes me as someone you could only be around in very small, controlled doses – and five extra minutes of her could easily send a person into deep psychosis. Now imagine that somehow - by the grace of God – you’ve managed to figure out a way to tolerate being around the straight-to-DVD blond. But every time you try to get a little, her creepy-ass dad pops his head in the room. Though to be honest, when I imagine Joe Simpson’s intrusions, it’s more like him sticking his head between the two lovers. Yeah try to get that imagine out of your mind now. Anyway, the relationship is plugging along, so the two of you decide to go away together – an all-important relationship step. And then Jessica’s dad decides to join you. Romantic, huh? At this point you’re just barely hanging on by a thread, but you want to try to make the relationship work so it’s not a total PR disaster for the two of you. And then Jessica tells you she wants you to sing a duet with her on a new country album. If you’re Tony Romo, that’s when you decide enough is enough, and you do your best to give Jessica Simpson the boot. But she’s sneaky, that one. Luckily, so are you.
Just when it seemed like Jessica Simpson and her quarterback hunk Tony Romo might not go the distance, the two were spotted cavorting together on a seemingly romantic hunting trip over the weekend in Texas. But now OK! has learned all might not be well just yet as insiders say the trip was a last-ditch effort to save their relationship.
On Jan. 17, Tony called Jessica at her L.A. home to try to break things off. "He said he thought it was better if they went back to being friends," a pal of the singer tells OK!. "'Just friends' is not in Jessica's vocabulary, and she is not a victim. She knows how bad this will look in the media."
But according to the pal, Jessica refused to give up, and so Tony invited her on what he thought would be the worst date of her life: a hunting trip! "It's Tony's way of punishing Jess," laughs her friend. "Jessica Simpson hunting — and without her entourage? Forget it!" Only time will tell if these two will make it. But according to an insider, “Tony has finally started to realize how high-maintenance Jessica is," says her friend. "We're talking diva status. She comes with an entourage, and that includes her dad, Joe Simpson. What's not to love?"

Poor Tony Romo. Jessica Simpson must either be really in love with him or one conniving woman. Can you imagine her hunting? That doesn’t seem like an activity that’s really popular these days, even for regular folks. The idea of Jessica Simpson hunting is hysterical. Somehow all I can imagine is Tony Romo, a gun, and a lot of blond hair. I can’t even visualize the rest of Jessica taking part in that. I’m not going to get into the hunting debate, or even the general gun debate. Regardless of how you feel about those issues, does anyone think it’s EVER a good idea to give Jessica Simpson a gun? She’s confused by tuna fish and buffalo wings for heaven’s sakes. Can you imagine the damage she could do with something that has a trigger?
