… And I think, by throwing John Mayer under the bus, that it just may not happen.

Simpson, who appeared earlier this week on the David Letterman Show was grilled by Letterman regarding her past with various — ahem, rather attractive — love interests, but I found it funny that while exes Tony Romo and John Mayer were discussed, no one thought to bring up who Simpson’s now allegedly dating:  Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan.

However, Billy’s gonna try to ride this “unnamed” buxom female celeb train until its fame wears off, evidently, because he’s once again speaking out on Jess’s behalf.   John Mayer most recently opened his loose-lipped flap to Playboy magazine regarding his and Simpson’s nuclear sexual past and Jess was none too happy about it, as she claimed on Letterman.

After Corgan was audibly snubbed during the interview with David Letterman, he’s still standing by his woman and sounds off to Rolling Stone about his thoughts on the comments that Mayer made off the cuff:

“He’s trying to destroy his career … Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction, some part of it is irritating [John Mayer's] soul to the point where he’s trying to blow it up.  Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, it’s hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground speaking as somebody who’s done it.”

After some more vague rambling, Corgan states:

“For any person who has celebrity to drop rocks at somebody else’s feet like that, there’s things you should really just keep your mouths shut on.  There’s things that should just be left alone.”

And then the clincher that Corgan dropped a few weeks ago to the same publication:

“If people knew her [Jessica Simpson] like I knew her, they would love her like I do.”

Aww … Someone’s pissed that they’re still not yet getting any from Hollywood’s favorite, elitist gift horse.

Billy Corgan and Jessica Simpson are two of my favorite people on their own, but the idea of the two of them as a couple? Not so much. I suppose I’ll have to get used to the idea because E! News is reporting that the two are dating and that Jessica is “smitten” with Billy. Smitten, you say? That doesn’t sound like a word that real people use unless they are selling a story to a gossip rag, but whatever.

While it seems that the two may not have much in common, there’s actually quite a bit for them to talk about. For one, there’s the obvious musical connection and also? They’re both devout Christians. E! didn’t pick up on this or remember it, but since I read about Billy Corgan the way he reads about Jesus, I remember Jessica giving him a shoutout on her Twitter a few months back.

Maybe Billy Corgan is the nice Christian boy that Jessica Simpson’s been looking for?

I don’t know if this is just some sort of publicity stunt but Tila Tequila and The Smashing Pumpkin’s Billy Corgan showed up on the 2nd Annual Bravo A-list awards red carpet, looking totally into one another.  So weird, it almost works.

Also, Kendra Wilkinson showed up looking like a Howard Johnson franchise, Tori Spelling needs a Happy Meal intervention-like, yesterday, Rachel Zoe is Jesus Christ, Kathy Griffin tried out a new lifestyle with Aubrey O’Day and Sanjaia Sanjaya was there despite the fact that the photo agencies didn’t care enough to even spell his name correctly.

Shanna Moakler continues her image rehabilitation tour by dating Jenna Jameson’s soon-to-be ex-husband, porn producer (and sometime star) Jay Grdina. It’s neat how both Shanna and her ex-husband, Travis Barker, have managed to find new love in porn stars. [Celebslam]
