...Tony Romo

I have finally made it around to it. Tony Romo is engaged to 24-year-old sports reporter Candice Crawford, sister of actor Chace Crawford of Gossip Girl fame. He proposed to her on her birthday as well. This is funny because on Jessica Simpson's birthday, possibly his most famous ex girlfriend, he broke up with her, after she bought him a $30,000 boat for his birthday. All is well though. Jessica is engaged and her ex husband is engaged as well. Not much tot say about this really. I could say that while Jessica was blamed for the Cowboy's troubles when they started losing, no one has blamed this chick for him being out for the rest of the season with an injury. Anyway I will give Romo a Digit Up for getting engaged... That is all I have actually.

...Jessica Simpson

Take that Nick Lachey...is probably what Jessica Simpson is REALLY thinking now. Why? Well just a week, about a week, after her ex announced that he was engaged to long term gal pal Vanessa Minillo, Jessica's reps are confirming that she too is engaged to boyfriend, former NFL player, Eric Johnson. Jessica took some heat for dating Eric because he was not yet divorced from his wife when he was spotted dating Jessica. The divorce has since been filed, in January, and made official,last month, so the two can move on and start their happy lives on marriage number 2. I do see them probably lasting longer than Nick and Vanessa, but who knows really. I wonder who will have the bigger better wedding? It should be Jessica, that seems to be her thing, no matter what her down home country accent may lead us to think. Most likely the tabloids will be all over both weddings but again Jessica's will probably get more coverage, because she's active and more relevant than Nick, he has no fashion line or cosmetic line. Either way both are getting married and all that jazz but no matter what we will always think Jessica got the last laugh. Also this totally sucks and gives hope for Jennifer Aniston. Jessica dated John Mayer once, and now she's getting married.Yay Jennifer, hope for you to start marriage number 2 as well. Digit Up to Jessica Simpson.

celebrities-collection; Who is Jessica Simpson's new boyfriend?

Looks like Jessica Simpson has found quite a catch in former football star Eric Johnson.

"He's one of the nicest guys around," says an NFL insider, who has worked with the ex-San Francisco 49ers player. "I'm surprised he is dating her. She is such a big star and he is so reserved."

Johnson, who also played briefly for the New Orleans Saints, definitely has experience with the limelight, however.

The 6' 3" Needham, Massachusetts, native has excelled at sports since he was a kid. At 13, he hit a hole in one on the golf course, and he broke 11 school records while playing wide receiver for Yale University. He's also a former academic All-American, who was called "The Big Nerd" by his Yale friends, according to a 2004 article in the San Francisco Chronicle.

"He is very smart," says the NFL source, "and he is one of the most down-to-earth athletes I know."

And that could come in handy when dating a Hollywood starlet.

Simpson began dating Johnson in May after friends introduced them. He's currently separated from his wife, Keri, who filed for divorce earlier this year.

"He is the polar opposite of what you think of when you say 'player,' " says the NFL source. "When I met him, he was driving a Prius when other athletes were driving gas-guzzling cars."
