Jessica Simpson has reportedly rented a house in Dallas, Texas for the Christmas season to be close to her current flame, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo.

The last few days, the 27-year-old Major Movie Star star was seen hitting up the high-end stores in the neighborhood with dad Joe and mom Tina.

Unfortunately the Romo-Simpson relationship, which Jessica’s father Joe help set up, appears to be a sinker. Maybe you missed it, but football fans think Jessica’s attendance during last Sunday’s game caused Tony Romo’s worst game in his entire career. (He received a quarterback rating of just 22.2 while his previous low was last December, when then-girlfriend Carrie Underwood was in the stands.)

Will Romo get his mojo back in time when the Cowboys face off against the Carolina Panthers on Saturday? Stay tuned!

Ashlee Simpson walks the gray carpet at the 2007 CosmoGIRL! Born to Lead Awards at NYC’s Hearst Tower on Tuesday. The 23-year-old singer/actress wore head-to-toe black — vintage Azzedine Alaia minidress, suede thigh-high Prada boots, scarf, and sheer arm and leg coverings.

This year’s celebrity honorees included Ashlee, Eva Amurri, Fall Out Boy, Jordin Sparks and Jonas Brothers. All were chosen for making their personal dreams come true or making a positive change in their communities. All winners represented today’s young leaders, givers, humanitarians, life-savers, and visionaries.

Father manager Joe Simpson (pictured below) was also on hand to support daughter Ashlee. Boyfriend Pete Wentz was at the awards too but didn’t pose for photos with Ashlee–he was with his own band Fall Out Boy.

Ashlee graces the cover of Cosmogirl! for their December 2007/January 2008 issue. Check out the new photos of Ashlee in the issue!

Hot dang it! Is every celeb and their mothers admitting to plastic surgery today?! First Heidi Montag came clean with her nose job and boob job. Now, Ashlee Simpon’s father, Joe confirms that his daughter had a nose job in May 2006:

On having no control over Ashlee’s decision to undergo rhinoplasty: “Girls have their own ideas. Anyway, there was a real problem with her breathing and that was cured.”

On good parenting being the reason his daughters Jessica and Ashlee haven’t gone the way of Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears: “We have a real family. You can’t just put these kids out in the world and they’re on their own. I can remember a time when Jessica was singing at Madison Square Garden and her outfit ripped before she went on. We were there for her.”

On Ashlee’s Saturday Night Live debacle: “She’d lost her voice, and Jordan Schur [then the head of her record label] insisted she lip-synch. She’d never done it before. She didn’t want to do it. Anyway, she’ll never do it again. We just did a huge tour, and there was no lip-synching.”

On denying being a controlling father (he’s a former Baptist minister): “I don’t tell my girls who to date or marry or what to do.”

On Jessica’s break-up with Nick Lachey: “I have nothing against Nick. But they got married very young. I told Jessica, ‘You’re going to hit an age when it’s all going to be clear to you — life that is — and you’ll know what you want to do. I do blame 50 percent of their break-up on the media.”

If the media was 50% to blame, does Joe take the other 50%? He did, after all, produce the reality TV show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.
