Tony Romo Dumps a Hot Jessica Simpson - Is He Crazy?

Eonline is reporting that the highly publicized relationship between Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo and Hollywood heartthrob Jessica Simpson is now caput.

Jessica's 29th birthday was last Friday, July 10th, and Tony, ever the romantic, dumped poor Jess on Thursday, which was only one day before a Barbie Bash birthday party Jess had planned.

On Saturday night at 8:54 PM, Jess tweeted from the web, meaning she was probably home alone, that "barbie party didn't happen, but i turned 29 and feel like i am on top of the world yelling I LOVE GETTING OLDER." The poor girl was clearly hurting because no loves getting older.

Tony, on the other hand, was spotted hanging poolside with pals at the Roosevelt Hotel on Saturday.

Eonline also reported one of Jessica's friends saying, "She was surprised. She wouldn't have planned a party if she knew this was coming. They're both going their separate ways."

Sunday Jessica sounded a bit better when she tweeted, "everyone needs to know that hope floats...grab the strings and pull it back to you." Atta girl, Jessica. A gorgeous girl like you won't be alone for long.

Keira Knightley Talks About Acting and the Golden Globe

At just 22 years old, Keira Knightley has already received the second Golden Globe nomination of her career for her role as leading actress in the recently released motion picture Atonement.

Knightley is in very good company and will go up against some powerful actresses when the winners are announced on January 13th.

Her competition for the Globe is Kate Blanchett in Elizabeth: the Golden Age, Julie Christie in Away from Her, Jodie Foster in The Brave One and Angelina Jolie in The Mighty One.

However, Knightley has as good a chance as any of the other nominees and perhaps better chances than the others because of the fact that Atonement received a total of seven nominations, which could make Knightley the beneficiary from the coattails effect of being in such a powerful film.

Atonement also received nominations for best dramatic motion picture; best actor, James McAvoy, in a dramatic film; best supporting actress, Saoirse Ronan; best director, Joe Wright; best screenplay, Christopher Hampton; and best original score, Dario Marianelli.

While the presentation of the winners of this year’s Golden Globe awards is scheduled for January 13th, the strike by the Writers Guild of America may scuttle a live presentation on television because many actors are saying they will refuse to cross picket lines to attend the event.

As to speculation that Keira is the brightest actor of her generation, Knightley rejects that notion.

"The thing with acting is it's not a job where, if you go to drama school, get the best grades and work the hardest, you're going to be successful,” said Knightley.

"It has nothing to do with whether you're the best or the prettiest. It takes a lot of luck."

Keira’s next role will be to play 18th century English socialite Georgiana Spencer in The Duchess.

Spencer, who was the Duchess of Devonshire, was well known for extravagance, a gambling addiction and a role in the French Revolution.

Knightley said that Spencer’s life was so full and rich that much of her scandalized story had to be left out of the film.

Said Knightley, "We didn't have the budget to go to the French Revolution. You could make five films out of her life."

The video below is an interview with Keira on Belgian TV where she discusses the film Atonement.

Jessica Simpson in the Nude?

Jessica Simpson is dying to be taken seriously as an actress--so seriously, in fact, that she has been telling those near and dear to her that she intends to bare it all on the big screen.

She turned down a role as a porn star earlier this year because her papa Joe said no to nudity. Rumor has it that the role had Oscar potential, so Jessica is now reportedly regretting nixing that role.

She is currently being considered for another role that requires full frontal nudity but also has the potential to jump start her acting career into the Oscar worthy category.

It is being reported that Jessica wants this role so bad that she is going against family wishes and her own better judgment against performing nude scenes.

Jessica has been dating Dallas Cowboys’ star quarterback Tony Romo recently, but there has been nothing reported regarding how he feels about sharing Jessica’s naked body with the rest of the world.

Of course, the Internet has changed what happens to an actress after baring it all for a role. Once those photos are out there, they are out there forever and will pop up on web site after web site.

Baring it all did wonders for Halle Berry’s career. She showed it all in “Monster’s Ball” in 2001 and ended up winning an Oscar for best actress in 2002 for her role in the film as Leticia Musgrove, the wife of an executed murderer.

That Oscar catapulted Berry’s career into the stratosphere, so Jessica is hoping the same can happen to her, if she shows her goods on the big screen.

Of course, her extraordinary acting in her role is what earned Halle her Oscar, not the nudity. The real question is can Jessica give an Oscar worthy performance?

Nicole Kidman Testimony Lays Bare Paparazzi Lifestyle

Nicole Kidman’s testimony this past week in an Australian defamation trial has exposed the life of the paparazzo as a financially rewarding occupation where the more unscrupulous you are the more successful you become.

The oscar winning, Australian born actress testified in court this week how she was reduced to tears after being chased through the streets of Sydney by Jamie Fawcett, a local paparazzo with a ruthless reputation for snapping whatever and whenever he is able. It is said that he will stop at very little to get his celebrity photo.

According to Frank Thorne, a British journalist working down under, a decent set of photos will bring the photographer around $50,000 Australian, or about $47,300 US. That much money can come from only a few hours work.

Thorne has also said that a killer set of photos will command $250,000 Australian, or about $219,000 US. One of the most desired photos in recent years was the first photo of Russell Crowe’s new baby. The paparazzo who finally snapped it is reported to have earned $300,000 Australian, or about $262,000 US.

The combination of those types of paydays and the easy entry into the field, means that just about anyone can become a paparazzo. It also means that the occupation will attract people of the lowest character, people who will lie, cheat, steal and more to obtain their lucrative payday.

The remaining paparazzi who still work under some moral code are embarrassed by the seedy reputation their chosen occupation is currently enduring. The accepted line of thinking is that the paparazzi chased Princess Diana to her death in Paris in 1997.

Who will be the next celebrity to fall victim to the paparazzi’s greed?
