The rumored romance between Candice Crawford, beauty queen and sister of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, and Dallas Cowboys star Tony Romo is now confirmed!

Or at least reported by a whole bunch of other sources!

The Chicago Sun-Times, Dallas Morning News, New York Daily News and others are saying that the football star has moved on from Jessica Simpson with Candice.

One could call her a younger, prettier and in all likelihood smarter and less annoying version of the alleged actress and singer he dated for over a year until recently.

Us Weekly even quotes a source as saying Candice Crawford is "not exactly happy that it's out [in the media], but they weren't trying to hide either." Okay then.

"They've gone out to dinner in Dallas a bunch."

Guess that means she's dating Tony Romo!

Candice Crawford and Tony Romo make a cute couple.

Candice, 22, was crowned Miss Missouri 2008 (she went to school there), and is a native of Dallas along with Gossip Girl actor Chace, who's pals with Tony Romo.

Talk about mixing business and pleasure, too: She reports on high school sports for Dallas station 33TV and also hosts a weekend Dallas Cowboys sports show.

Looks like she'll be getting the inside scoop in more ways than one from now on, if you know what we mean! NOTE: We don't even know what we mean by that.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo definitely has a type.

According to Celeb TV, the NFL star and quasi-celebrity is now dating Miss Missouri Candice Crawford, the sister of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford!

While this rumor is unsubstantiated, it could be true because:

• Tony and Chace, a Dallas native, are friends.
• Candice Crawford covers high school sports for Dallas station 33TV and also hosts the weekend Dallas Cowboys sports show Special Edition.
• She totally kind of looks like Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood (who, after dating Tony Romo, also dated Chace Crawford). We're sold!

Whether they're dating or not, don't you think Tony Romo and Candace Crawford make a cute pair? She's gotta be less annoying than Jessica, too ...

It's been a rough few weeks for Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, who split with Carrie Underwood and endured online gossip about his sexuality.

Specifically, it was rumored that Chace and pal JC Chasez were lovers.

Lil' sis Candice Crawford says he's hanging in there though.

"He's doing okay through this whole ordeal," Candice said. "He was upset about the breakup. It's always hard when you lose a relationship."

Still, his sister added, don't expect to see Chace Crawford and the American Idol champ-turned country star moping around for long.

"Chace will get through it," Candice Crawford said. "We love Carrie, too. They're dolls and they'll both do well."

Candice Crawford is doing her best to distract her bummed-out brother. Next week, she'll compete in the Miss USA Pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino - and Chace, 23, will be there in person to cheer her on.

"The whole family will be there rooting for me," Candice, a.k.a. Miss Missouri, said. "My mom made T-shirts and little pins for everyone."

To capture the crown April 11, Candice will have to impress judges such as Heather Mills, Joey Fatone, Rob Schneider and Christian Siriano.

It never stops. The new Miss Missouri USA, Candice Crawford, was recently cited in Columbia, Mo., as a minor in possession of alcohol.

Somewhere, fellow embattled beauty queens Tara Conner, Katie Blair, Ingrid Marie Rivera, Amy Polumbo, Valerie Begue and Katie Rees are smiling.

And quite possibly getting their drink on!

Candice Crawford, a junior and broadcast journalism major at the University of Missouri-Columbia, is the sister of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford.

With her December, 2007 citation for underage possession of alcohol, 20-year-old Candice Crawford became the latest beauty queen to make celebrity gossip news.

The Columbia Missourian's police blotter reads simply:

Candice Crawford, 20, was cited for suspicion of minor in possession at 12:08 a.m. March 16 at Tonic in the 100 block of South Ninth Street.

Sorry, Katie Blair and Tara Conner.

You had your time in the beauty pageant spotlight.

It's time to make way for the next crop of Miss USA contenders, starting with Candice Crawford. The 20-year old has just been named Miss Missouri 2008.

Aside from her role as a junior at the University of Missouri-Columbia and her major of broadcast journalism, Candice is known for something else: being the gorgeous sister of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford.

Indeed, this is the hottest sibling pairing since the glory days of Jamie-Lynn Spears and Britney Spears.
