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!!!
