Father of Jessica Simpson furious at her for turning down paid New Years Eve gig with John Mayer

Jessica Simpson's father is reportedly furious with her for turning down a paid gig to party with John Mayer on New Year's Eve (31.12.06). Joe Simpson - who is also his daughter's manager - is said to have been contacted by Las Vegas nightclub PURE who offered a large sum of money to Jessica for her to host their New Year's party. A source is quoted on gossip website TMZ as saying: "Jessica told her dad she wasn't interested in working on a holiday and wanted a quiet night in with no glitz and glamour required." But the 'Dukes of Hazzard' actress spent the night partying at a star-studded bash in New York's Hudson Hotel, with musician John Mayer - who she has previously denied she is dating. A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "They were full-on making out! He was scratching her back, they were kissing. It wasn't subtle. John has been thrilled that they have been tricking the media, but she doesn't really care. His Christmas present to her was a framed copy of the Us Weekly cover that says, 'Dumped: John ditches Jessica.'" After midnight the party moved on to hip club Stereo where Jessica and John reportedly competed with Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman for most loved-up couple. A witness said: "It was a love competition - Jessica and John vs. Christina and Jordan. Both couples were fully locking lips and spooning into the early morning." Joe was furious to hear that Jessica had turned down PURE's offer to go out partying for free. Britney Spears cashed in on hosting the event instead, but ended up falling asleep.

Turbulent 2006 gives Jessica Simpson a "new perspective" on life

Washington, Jan 4 (ANI): 2006 may have been quite a turbulent year for singer Jessica Simpson, but she still feels that it has taught her a lot about herself. 25 year-old Simpson, who had a bitter-sweet year, ranging from her divorce from Nick Lachey to botched Dolly Parton tribute, insisted that her experiences in the past year have made her see life in a "whole new perspective". "Everything that happened last year made me realize what I want from life and what's important. I've learned so much about myself and I've taken on a whole new perspective." ContactMusic quoted her, as saying. "This time last year, I really thought I knew myself completely. But I didn't at all. I was in this place where I wasn't going up or down or figuring anything out. I was so complacent," she added. And while 2006 was certainly a roller-coaster ride for the singer/actress, it certainly ended on a positive note, with Simpson's public canoodling with singer John Mayer on New Year's Eve leaving little doubt that the two are indeed a couple.

Jessica Simpson & John Mayer are Official

As we reported yesterday, Jessica Simpson rang in the New Year with her rumored boy toy John Mayer. The duo were caught playing tonsil hockey at the Hudson Hotel party thrown by Christina Aguilera. One spy revealed to the NY Daily News that "he was scratching her back, they were kissing, it wasn't subtle." The couple dined earlier in the evening at Country, after shopping at Barneys during the day and have been holed up at The Mercer hotel in SoHo. One insider reveals, "John has been thrilled that they have been tricking the media, but she doesn't really care. His Christmas present to her was a framed copy of the Us Weekly cover that says 'Dumped: John ditches Jessica.'" Meanwhile remember that humiliation that Jessica Simpson faced with the Dolly Parton tribute? Well not only did this blonde bombshell get stuck with the embarrassment but she also got stuck with a large tabl. The Kennedy Center is refusing to reimburse her manager dad, Joe Simpson, around $15,000 in hair, makeup and stylist fees. "She was cut from the show, and they don't want to pay for a dress that didn't fit," said a source. The insider estimates the day rate of hairstylist Ken Paves at $6,000, makeup artist Mary Phillips at $4,000, and fashion stylist Jessica Pastor at "around $4,000 to $5,000." Sorry, but we just choked on this one, $15,000 to look like crap? Supercuts would make Jessica look better at this point cause the $15,000 is going to waste.

Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey : Moving on too fast!

As we all know, Jessica & Nick both seemed to suffer from their split ... But not for as long as we thought! It seems that Jessica refused to host a Christmas eve celebration at "Pure" night club because she wanted to spend time with her new boyfriend John Mayer!!! And what about Nick? Let's just say he isn't exactly crying Jessica a river!!! Apparently his Christmas & New Years celebrations were with Vanessa Minillo! They spent MTV's live New Year's Eve party together & they kissed in front of the whole world! I always thought that Nick was in such pain & reckoned his album was about Jessica! But to see he move on so quick shocks me! I'm so confused ... I guess his next album will be about his new love Vanessa! I guess that's how Hollywood works!

Jessica Simpson & John Mayer: Opposites Attract?

They say that opposites attract. Who's they - the folks that are trying to figure out the on and off relationship with rock star John Mayer and pop starlet and actress Jessica Simpson. Mayer's music is fairly deep; the talented guitarist will never be mistaken for bubble gum. Jessica is the definition of bubble gum, at least music wise.

The last video I saw from her she was skating with Eva Longoria and Christina Applegate. *** So - what gives? The New York Daily News gives a cute look at quotes from the couple side-by side. Many John Mayer fans are not happy with his choice of a New Year's date, but who can argue with love?

When they noshed at Dos Caminos, an onlooker told People, "They were very flirty, obviously so engaged with each other." The manager of the Comedy Cellar said, "They were friendly. They were talking to everybody." John had done a routine at the Comedy Cellar a few days before his visit there with Jessica. His Christmas gift to his new gal proves that he's quite the jokester.
