jessica simpson is dating … someone.

Last weekend Jessica Simpson was seen at a Dane Cook show in Hollywood, causing people to wonder if they were maybe, um, “dating” again. Then yesterday People said this about Jess and ‘The Hurt Locker’ star Jeremy Renner at a party in Beverly Hills…

“Jeremy spent the night hitting on Jessica like crazy,” the source says. “They were really flirting up a storm.”
“Jessica loved it!” When the party was over, the two exchanged numbers, entering them into their phones.

Which must be news to Billy Corgan, who is quoted on Rolling Stone today saying this about Jessica…

“If I go, ‘Oh, we’re just friends,’ then it’s like, ‘Did they go out, did he dump her or she dump him, what happened?’ It has nothing to do with any of that. Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that. My goal in life is to love whoever I think is worth loving, and I think if people knew her like I knew her, they would love her like I do. It’s really simple.”

Between this and the John Mayer thing and Oprah, there sure are a lot of people worrying about Jessica and trying to see if she’s comfortable and happy with her life these days. Oh, and I’m fine too, ya know, not that you bothered to ask. Jeez. What am I, invisible.
