Jessica Simpson And Tony Romo: Splitsville In Vegas?
Robin Leach (yes, that Robin Leach) has some interesting dirt on what went on between blonde singer Jessica Simpson and QB Tony Romo this past weekend. Apparently, they were in Vegas when a weekend that started out beautifully, with parties and breakfast in bed, suddenly turned very ugly:
It began when Jessica, Tony and the players all hit the Peacock Lounge for high limit blackjack. Jessica was said to have won $5,000 and then they retired to their penthouse while the others went onto the Body English nightclub. The couple even spent some time tanning in the sunshine rays at the new $8 million makeover pool at the Hard Rock while watching the NFL draft on their private cabana HD TV screens. At some point, however, allegedly Tony, who was rumored to be paid a $15,000 appearance fee at Body English took the money and went gambling. My spywitnesses tell me that by the time he was finished he’d lost a fortune and I swear to you I was told that the figure could have run as high as a whopping $2.5 million. Whatever the staggering loss totaled it immediately put a damper on their fun weekend. I’m reliably told Hard Rock officials offered to pay Jessica a bonus $25,000 if she’d co-host at Body English the second night with Tony.
Allegedly a livid Jessica refused because she’s paid far more for personal appearances and the fun weekend had suddenly turned into a commercial gig. Also she was said to be “angry beyond words†over his gambling and the large loss. Insiders told me that one thing led to another and they wound up in a “furious fight.†I was then told that instead of turning up together for a third day of “fun in the sun†at DMX’s party for the re-opening of the Rehab summer pool they both left town unexpectedly.
That pop you just heard was Joe Simpson’s head exploding. Twice.
Forget Jessica (and the heart attack this news is sure to give her father). I’m wondering if Tony needs a personal assistant, because anyone who can drop that kind of cheddar and still be rich…well, either he should hire me as a PA or I need to learn to throw a football.
I guess only time will tell if the rumor of their going their separate ways is true or not. Expect a denial from Jessica’s camp any moment now. But Robin has proven to have excellent “sources”, so…?
I wonder if they had caek in their suite?

Since when can Jessica tell anyone else what to do with their money? Just less for her to get her grumby paws on. Romo is just dating her for the sex and she knows it.

I can’t say I blame the gal. If your boyfriend dropped a couple of million gambling, that would be indicative of a HUGE problem. Dropping that kind of cash at a table when he could have at least spent it on a ring? A deal breaker.
