Jessica Simpson’s Love Life

My friend, LP, and I have a list of movie star boyfriends. The list is fairly long and lengthy, we are always adding to it, because there are a whole lot of cute boys out there. Some of these guys are married, some are single, but that really doesn’t matter because neither us is single. We aren’t looking to date these men. We are just having fun. It’s fun to read about celebrity couples, to see their cute quirky-named offspring, and to root for their new relationships. Talking about these people, it’s some pretty big business. Some of the couples, I can understand why they are big news. Some I don’t really get it.
One of the couples who gets a lot of press is Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo. They are in some sort of gossip news every single day – constant quotes from Jessica about how she’s finally truly in love, how he’s the love of her life, how she can be herself with him or whatever. Good for her, I wish her happiness, but do we really need daily updates on this couple? Do you wake up in the morning, grab your computer, and quickly scan the news praying that Tony and Jessica are still in love? Does Jessica Simpson want all this constant relationship buzz out there? What does she think of headlines like Sorry, Cowboys Fans…’Yoko Romo’ Might Be a Permanent Fixture? Does this sell more cds? Does it get her more movie roles?
I can understand people wanting to work in a creative field, but I can’t understand the need for celebrity, the need for the buzz. I can’t imagine trying to meet and get to know someone with all those eyes on me and I can’t imagine having to endure a break-up in the spotlight. Who needs that added pressure? Being a normal human being is challenging enough.
What do you think of the current fascination for celebrity couples? Do you have a celebrity boyfriend? If you do, please tell me, I can keep a secret. <wink>
I find celebrity relationships interesting in the sense that they do put up with a lot more challenges than regular people would. Always being followed, speculation that one person is cheating, and so on. I am amazed any couple can survive that. If people were constantly telling me my partner was cheating, or if girls were jumping at him everywhere we went, that would be really tough to deal with, no matter how much faith I had in him.
That would be tough, I agree. Also the timetable – they meet, then there’s the ring speculation, then the baby bump watch begins. Who could deal with that all the time?
I like being unfamous.
