Looking great in a blue dress, Jessica Simpson and best friend (and former assistant) Cacee Cobb left club Tenjune in Hollywood on Tuesday night. The best friends left the club at around 2:30am and according to onlookers, the club’s security was very aggressive in trying to block the snappers.

Looking cute in jeans and clutching an oversized red bag, Jessica Simpson and sister Ashlee headed out for lunch in Santa Monica late last month. The two were seen leaving a restaurant, rushing past photographers. As Jess walked to the car, one snapper asked the question “What’s next for you, Jessica?”, to which she replied “music.” New music? Perhaps country music? Yeehaa!

People Magazine spotting:

A “really hungry” Jessica Simpson, requesting the most private table at Philadelphia eatery Alma de Cuba. A source tells us that the singer thought the restaurant was “adorable” – and she ordered a calamari salad and verde empanada followed by vaca frita and chicken arepas. Simpson (and her dining companion) then ordered a second helping of vaca frita, a side of black beans and rice. Not that she wanted anyone to notice: A nearby table of 10 recognized her and requested a picture, but Simpson politely declined.

Jessica Simpson continues to film scenes for Major Movie Star — this time the director had Jess jogging at a Beverly Hills park.

Willie Nelson has agreed to write a few songs for Jessica Simpson’s next album to help her turn to country music.

The singer’s father revealed her interest in recording a country-style LP recently and Simpson has insisted that she is very serious about her change in sound.

Jessica claimed that she got the inspiration to change her style from Nelson when she appeared in 2005 movie The Dukes of Hazzard. She explained: “I aspire to be like Patsy Cline. Willie actually turned me on to her because he used to be one of her background singers.”

Simpson, who grew up in Texas, said of her plans: “My next album is probably going to be with Willie Nelson. I’ve been wanting to do a country record because it’s in my roots.”

Jessica Simpson’s acting career has been given a boost - her new co-star in Blonde Ambition insists the pop star is one of the most professional people she has even met on a film set.

Actress Rachael Leigh Cook admits she feared Simpson would be an ill-prepared diva, surrounded by an entourage - but she was more than pleasantly surprised. The Josie + The Pussycats star tells online gossip columnist Marc Malkin, “She was really sweet and cool. I was really taken by surprise how reserved she is. “She’s really open about saying, `This is my first time having more than 10 lines in a movie. I’m kind of new here.’ “She took the job really seriously. She wasn’t out partying all the time… She would go home and be at work the next day.”

And Leigh Cook was further impressed when she realized Simpson really is the brains behind all her business endeavors. She adds, “I said, `So, you have this clothing line, come on, is that really you?’ And she said, `Yeah, absolutely. When they first manufactured this coat, the belt was too high, so I put it down because it makes the line look better.’ She’s really involved, which I was truthfully surprised by.”

John Mayer moved along quite well after his very public break up with Jessica Simpson. But even with Cameron Diaz and the other rumored hook-ups is he still missing Jessica? A report from In Touch Weekly magazine claims that they has confirmed a recent report on Gawker that Jessica Simpson hooked up with her ex-boyfriend, John Mayer, 29, at his NYC apartment.

The magazine reports this week that she was apparently spotted by one of his neighbors riding the elevator on the morning of September 9. At the time I believe Gawker called it the elevator ride of shame.

The couple broke up in May, but a pal of Jessica’s tells the weekly entertainment magazine, “He is still texting her all the time, and is clearly still after her. I guess she had a moment of weakness, and she spent the night with him.” But the friend also adds that the brief reunion isn’t likely to lead to a long-term reconciliation.

Jessica, 27, was in NYC for Fashion Week, but with John’s persistent text messages it appears that she may have had more much more than clothes on her mind.
