Romo, Simpson Break Turkey Together

Let me just say I'm happy for Tony Romo, former undrafted free agent turned Deuce Bigalow. He got to spend Thanksgiving with Jessica Simpson, who has seemingly managed to get on with her life after divorcing the world's shortest former boy-band member, 4'8" Nick Lachey, in December 2005.

This isn't the first time Romo and Simpson have been linked -- a year ago we were having this very conversation -- but this time it's SERIOUS. Or something:

On Thanksgiving, [Romo] led the Cowboys in a spanking of the New York Jets at Texas Stadium. Then he showered and headed over to Hotel ZaZa to join Ms. Simpson and her parents ... for a Thanksgiving meal at Dragonfly.

And the family time didn't stop there. The next day, Tony joined the Simpson family for a journey to Waco to visit Jessica's grandparents.

First, I'm glad the Dallas Morning News's Alan Peppard included the part about Romo showering. Otherwise, I would've just assumed he showed up at dinner in his uniform. Second, expect Romo to hold a press conference later this week announcing he's now a Branch Davidian.

In less upbeat news, Simpson's friend Cacee Cobb -- you might remember her as the homewrecker during the Newlyweds series -- and her man friend, Donald Faison (Turkelton of Scrubs fame), joined Tony and Jessica for the Turkey Day festivities. Carla is not impressed.

The fact that you used "Turkelton" absolutely makes this piece. Nice.

I would rather see Romo with Jessica than Carrie. She is a complete snob and is very rude to her fans. Did you notice on the CMA Awards how her accent has changed? She's gone from country hick to Valley girl. I guess she is being coached on how to be polished. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jessica Simpson is a great entertainer, seems like the reality show her, and Nick Lachey had together was on the rough side you could see the tension between the both of them, his lost, Tony Romo gain

Jessica will never do better than Nick Lachey! I couldn't believe that Nick stayed with her as long as he did. You could see on his face many times that her stupid act drove him crazy.
Run Tony! Run!
