Jessica Simpson on John Mayer: He gave away my game

Because we were having technical difficulties for a few hours, I kind of missed reporting on Jessica Simpson’s appearance on Letterman last night. Sidenote: I hate her outfit. Anyway, I didn’t watch it, but I’ve read some of the coverage of it. Basically, Letterman got Jessica to talk about everything, from Tony Romo, to John Mayer, to… whatever. Here’s the video and some of quotes:

Why was Jessica Simpson most upset by John Mayer’s revealing Playboy interview (in which he called her “sexual napalm”)?

“He gave away my game!” the star, 29, tells David Letterman on the Late Show, airing Wednesday.

“Normally you would think that somebody you care about would keep those intimate details to themselves,” she says. “It was definitely compliment … in a way. But I don’t really want people to know that about me. It’s like, I’m the good girl and then that happens.”

Although she says she “was very disappointed by the article” and hasn’t talked to him since it was published, she does say she “will always care about him.”

The star of VH1’s new reality show The Price of Beauty also opens up about her ex Tony Romo, who she says is “still a dear friend of mine” even though they split after two years of dating this past July.

“We’re big Dallas Cowboys fans,” she says of the Texas-based Simpson clan. “I still look at his cute butt in the outfit — uniform!”

So, what went wrong?

“I don’t know,” she says. “You’d have to ask him that. He broke up with me on my birthday!”

Yeah. Meh. As much as I like Jessica, I do get tired of her sometimes, like when she’s promoting something. Although she’s a sweet girl, there’s such a lack of substance in her, it’s kind of disturbing. But whatever. I’m sure I’ll get over it.

Meanwhile, Jessica’s “special friend” Billy Corgan was talking about Jessica’s ex John Mayer. This came from Billy’s epic interview in Rolling Stone Magazine, which we had excerpts of last week. Us Weekly has published some of Billy’s quotes under the idea that he’s “slamming” Mayer. But that’s not actually what he’s doing. Corgan’s just kind of properly identifying John’s douchiness.

Corgan says: “[Mayer is] trying to destroy his career… Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction, some part of it is irritating his soul to the point where he’s trying to blow it up. Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, standing on the sidelines, it’s hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground speaking as somebody who’s done it.” Regarding Mayer’s specific comments about Napalm McMotorboat, Corgan says: “I think for any person who has celebrity to sort of 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.” See? These quotes make me like Corgan more. He’s right – Mayer is being self-destructive, under the guise of douchey misogyny. Now, I think Mayer is also, at heart, a douchey misogynist. But the fact that he didn’t know how to hide it is self-destructive.
