Comic Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson Behind-The-Scenes Romance

While everyone has been holding their breath waiting for Jessica Simpson and estranged hubbie Nick Lachey to have the make-up scene of the century, the curvy actress seems to have found someone else to fill the void.. and make her laugh at the same time.
It’s a potent combination few lonely girls could resist.

The inevitable movie co-star love interest scenario seems to be in play for pop singer Simpson and comedian Dane Cook, her co-star in “Employee Of The Month”, a comedy about a guy who competes to become the employee of the month at his store outlet because sexy new transferee Simpson only dates those EOM guys.

So having a fella like Cook, who is a good-natured, good-looking funny man with an apparent desire for a large family, getting paid to pursue you on film, we aren’t surprised a nice down-home megastar like Simpson finds him attractive.

According to the rumor mill, however, Cook already has a girlfriend, Valli Girls lead singer, sexy brunette Raquel Houghton. He has apparently told Houghton, however, that Simpson has a “crush” on him, but that he doesn’t return the feelings. But according to insiders, Cook is apparently seeing Simpson behind her back.

Says the National Enquirer, “Dane is pulling off the snow job of the century on Jessica and Raquel. He’s been seeing Jessica regularly since they returned from filming Employee of the Month in New Mexico and yet goes home to Raquel every night.

Whilst a source adds, “Dane managed to smooth things over with Raquel. He tells her that Jessica has a puppy love crush on him and that will blow over soon. Dane’s having his cake and eating it, too.”

Interesting choice of words. The movie, which should be a good date night hoot, is due to be released on September 29. We can see for ourselves if the sparks do fly.
