New Chatter

Attending sister Ashlee’s wedding with her ex-boyfriend Tony Romo must have been heartbreaking for Jessica Simpson but this piece of news must be even more so. Tony was supposedly about to ask her to marry him! An inside source says that the QB was organizing an “intimate dinner for friends and family” which was set to take place in a few weeks to announce the engagement. Another source adds “Jessica has made no secret of the fact she wants to get married, and with all the Ashlee wedding talk and Jess’ dad’s involvement, Tony was obviously feeling it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he just couldn’t go through with the proposal and that’s what’s caused the break.”

Paula Abdul has reportedly split from her boyfriend.

Friends of the ‘American Idol’ judge claim she has separated from restaurateur JT Torregiani, after less than a year together.

However, JT is not upset about the break-up because he wasn’t committed to Paula. A source said: “He wasn’t that serious about it and hadn’t invested too much in the relationship.”

Paula, 45, sparked rumors her romance might be on the rocks when she failed to show at the opening of JT’s new restaurant Beso, which he has launched with ‘Desperate Housewives’ star Eva Longoria, in March. At the bash, JT was spotted flirting with female guests.

Paula recently spoke about her desire to settle down and start a family. She said: “I do want children. I’ll probably adopt because I think it’ll be in the next three to five years. I wouldn’t necessarily adopt from abroad like some celebs. I just want a healthy baby.”

Paula has been married twice. She split from actor husband Emilio Estevez in 1994 after a two-year marriage, while her union to sportswear designer Brad Beckerman also ended after two years in 1998.
