Despite a slew of rumored dalliances with a small battalion of various guys, Jessica Simpson insists that she hasn't dated anyone since she split from Nick Lachey.
What's more, she emphatically denies reports that comedian and "Employee of the Month" co-star Dane Cook is her current squeeze, and says she has "dreams" about Brad Pitt.
Though reports have circulated that she and Cook have been romantically involved – even though Cook has a live-in girlfriend – Simpson says that Cook is merely "one of my dear friends," according to an interview she's given to OK! magazine (via USA Today). Adds Simpson, "Every time I feel frustrated, I'll e-mail him and he'll e-mail me back with a suggestion. He's a great support, a solid friend, and a really good guy."
And as for the reports that she's been courted by various suitors, including Zach Braff, Jessica, who turned 26 yesterday, says, "I don't feel right about dating yet." Still, the girl knows what candy pleases her eye: "Brad Pitt in 'Fight Club'; you can't get much better than that. I still dream about his body!"
Don't Call Him Diddy, Per Favore
The Sean Combs name game continues its inexorable spin: Sunday afternoon, the rapper known variously as Puff Daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy, and just Diddy, set the (current) record straight for a pedicab driver near Manhattan's Central Park.
The driver called out to Combs, "Hey, P. Diddy, how about a ride, help the working man out?" according to a Page Six spy, to which the rapper replied, "I always help the working man out, and it's Puff, brother!" The funnyman peddler drove off with this stinger, which elicited a cheer from onlookers: "Yeah, Diddy, how cool is a guy that changes his nickname more than a baby changes diapers?"
The incident didn't mar Did-we mean, Puff's-mood too greatly, as he was seen screaming for Italy and "wearing an Italian cape around his neck" during the Italy-France World Cup final on Sunday. According to Lloyd Grove, Puff was joined at Cipriani Downtown by Jay-Z and Lenny Kravitz.
Vaughn Gets All Serious in "Enemies"
After years of playing either the goofy funnyman ("Wedding Crashers") or the sensitive funnyman ("The Break-Up") with the occasional "Psycho" tossed in, Vince Vaughn is taking a turn for the serious in the new film from Oscar-winning writer-director Paul Haggis.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Vaughn is in discussions to star alongside Sean Penn in "Against All Enemies," the film version of former terrorism czar Richard Clarke's controversial memoir, and would play ex-Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill. Which, given that O'Neill is almost twice Vaughn's age, makes for an interesting casting choice.
Penn is reportedly slated to star as Clarke himself, and recently cast Vaughn into his own drama, entitled "Into the Wild."
Portman Doffs All for Art
Natalie Portman, who famously bared all for her role as a stripper in Mike Nichols' "Closer" but then asked the director to edit out the nude scenes, will go full birthday suit for her new film "Goya's Ghosts," in which she will play the Spanish artist's muse, who, according to Page Six, is accused of atheism and then stripped in a torture scene. Portman denies that she does nudity just to cast off her childlike image from the "Star Wars" and other earlier films: "I don't do it in order to prove something. I just go on with my life and do what feels right."
Rather's Not So Triumphant Return
Recently cast-off CBS newsman Dan Rather is returning to television in October, but you're going to need a pretty big dial – and a high-def set – to see him.
The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz reports that Rather will announce at this week's television critics tour in Los Angeles that he's launching "Dan Rather Presents" on HDNet, the high-definition network owned by entrepreneur Mark Cuban. Details on the show itself are scarce, but Cuban seems sanguine about it, even though his network only reaches about 3 million homes, which is a tiny fraction of what Rather used to reach at a broadcast network.
Briefly: Rehabbed Brandon Dines with Paris, LeAnn Rimes Cancels Tour Dates
Team Firecrotch leader Brandon Davis was spotted dining recently at West Hollywood's Bella restaurant with Paris and Nicky Hilton after finishing his stint in rehab, according to the New York Daily News' Ben Widdicombe, and quaffed water only...LeAnn Rimes cancelled three concert dates on her current "This Woman" tour after she suffered a "tear in the tissue" of one of her legs, according to her publicist. Rimes is expected to play the remaining dates of the tour after a three- to four-day recovery following surgery.

I still think she was cheating on Nick when she was filming "DUKES " ..... she's not as goody as she would like people to think .
Are you kidding...."dreams" about Brad Pitt. Dream on Jessica, there ain't nothing dragging him away from Angelina Jolie, if you've checked in a mirror lately, you will see that she is more beautiful than you will ever be, bucky beaver!!!!
I would say "Liar, liar your pants are on fire.." but that was a rude and nasty insult to Lohan.
HAVE YOU HEARD HER NEW SONG PUBLIC AFFAIR IT SUCKS. SHE NEEDS TO STICK TO DOING PROACTIVE COMMERCIALS
Jessica Simsposn new songs sucks but that is what you get what you steal it from another artist. Dating anyone please heck she is caught all the time out with many guys. She is whining and complaining all the time but what she should do is hide her head between her legs and go back to johnny knoxville. Maybe he will cheat with her again because that is the only one that will take her. She is a hadben!!!!!!! See you jessica. I will never buy anything of yours anymore......
honey, ain't no brad pitt leaving ange's gorgeosity for you, trash. used to love jess, then she went trashy on us...
methinks she has broken a few commandments...
OH MY GOD!! What is wrong with all of you people!!! To #1 why does filing for divorce mean she was dating anyone? Do all you people remember several women coming forward and saying he slept or kissed or he gave is number to them? THAT is reason alone to fill for divorce!!! You women are the reason so many women get blamed for divorce. You're the pathetic women who doesn't put any blame on the man. BULLSHIT!! How quickly you forget about Nick's crap... remember the porno girl? Second, people have speculated she dated people but it NEVER blew up in the tabloids because there was NO grounds to blow something up. She was merely costarring with these guys. There was no evidence what so ever to suggest otherwise. Thrid, going on a date doesn't mean you're dating someone!! Have you seen one picture of her kissing or vacationing with someone? NO!! I am from Waco Texas and now live in Dallas Texas and I am FRIENDS with her and all of her family!!! She's a great person and I KNOW the causes of their divorce. So, to all you people who DO NOT know her shut up!!! You're jealousy is very obvious. Also, to the girl in the #2 spot.... are you kidding me? You don't hold a candle to Jessica, remember SHE'S the famous one, SHE'S gets famous gorgous men, you don't. So wallow in your insecurity!!!!!!
toottie fruity how old are you lol me think you are 5 ..........i love how most of the people that read this trash think they know these people......unless you was in the bedroom with jessica how do you know she cheated..........get a life....trying reading cnn or fix once in awhile............
Brenda
Were you an English major in school? You have such a way with words and the spelling of them. Did you even finish school?
OMG - that is the funniest things I have read in a while. Brad has much better taste than to pick that slut. I am happy for Nick. I hope him and Vanessa get married and start a family soon. Then, maybe Jessica will see what a mistake she made. She will never get anyone better than Nick. Jessica dosn't hold a candle to Angelina Jolie. Not even close.
The stars LIE!!!! Now I'll admit to having an unnatural fascination with making fun of and hating-on these retards, but do they really think that we've got no sort of memory what so ever? Given, if I were in the same situation I would lie 'till I was blue in the face-- but come on, she was saying her and Nick were happily married until the day they separated. I love the hypocrisy of Papa-I-love-my-daughters-a-little-too-much-Simpson and the two dumb bitches he spawned... I'm no Christian child and neither are they...
I agree Erin I certainly hope Nick marries Vanessa and has beautiful children with her. Jessica is trying to act like Nick is the one who is going out dating and she's being so good by staying at home all alone. The real reason is she wants to look like she's all innocent so she can keep all her money and not give him anything. She wants to make him the bad one. I hope she starts declining in her popularity. She did this to him before and he took her back and then married her and now she's done it to him again. Nick and Vanessa belong together and I hope he doesn't ever go back to Jessica.
If a girl waits until her wedding night to have sex with her husband do you really think she would be sleeping around ...Come on I think she has more up stairs then that..........Brad leave Angie I don't think so if anybody is the slut it would be here........And she isn't talking to her dad because he cheated on her mom lol Wow she turned out to be just like her dad..........Hang in there jessica you will find a great man.............
