Come on, we’ve always known that underneath that whole “we’re sisters and we love and support each other unconditionally act,” there’s always been some serious sibling rivalry between Jessica and Ashlee Simpson.

And now OK! magazine is confirming that Jessica is, of course, ridiculously jealous of Ashlee right now.

“Jessica Simpson has yearned for a baby for years. She’s told friends that she can’t wait to be a mom and has even joked that if she has to, she’ll resort to making her hairstylist pal Ken Paves the adoptive daddy,” says an inside source. “Jessica never imagined that her tomboy younger sister would have a baby first. It would be very hard for her not to be jealous.”

Awww, don’t be jealous, Jess! When Ashlee’s marriage falls flat on its ass after six months, she’ll have a fucking baby to take care of! At least when you walked away from your ill-considered marriage, all you had to deal with was the wrath of the tabloids. They’re a pain in the ass, but they don’t wake you up screaming in the middle of the night.

Seriously, it’s like they all think this Ashlee Simpson/Pete Wentz marriage is going to work out.

Says Jess: My sister is overflowing with joy. Pete is an incredible soul. They naturally bring out the best in each other. I couldn’t be happier.”

And says Papa Joe (who’s currently in Georgia watching the Masters tourney with Tony Romo): “[Pete] did ask me [if he could propose]. I told him that I would be honored to have him as part of my family.”

Heh.

This thing is just waiting to implode.

Jessica Simpson was in and out of the hospital this weekend, being treated for a kidney infection.

Jess was admitted on Friday and released on Monday. She’s feeling much better, say her reps.

I guess they’re still going strong.

Photogs caught Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo (well, in fairness, she probably called them) leaving the Waverly Inn in NYC on Monday night.

Um, check out Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson “attempting” a duet at the Metal Skool show in LA.

There’s a Britney diss at the beginning, too. Wonderful.

A tipsy Jessica Simpson gets a hand from Tony Romo as she tries to get in the car after seeing 80s metal band Metalskool perform at The Key Club on the Sunset Strip.

After her film career crashed and burned (well, let’s be honest, it crashed and burned years ago, but she’s been hanging around the crash site, sifting through the rubble and looking for survivors), Jessica’s got a new plan: she’s recording a country album.

She’s been talking about doing it for awhile, but now she’s actually in a Nashville recording studio, laying down tracks.

“I am a country girl,” she says. “I grew up in Texas, and country music was what I listened to. I always wanted to wait until the time was right.”

Now is apparently the right time, as all other options have been ruled out. Seriously, it’s record a country album or go work at Walmart. Her options are a tad limited at this point.

For what it’s worth, Jess, good luck.

Remember how I told you guys this thing grossed a little over $1200 on opening weekend?

I lied.

It took in less than $400.

But it’s coming to DVD in January!!!
