Carrie Underwood
Gossip

Of all the classic and ridiculous Jessica Simpson quotes over the past 10 years, this one - about her boyfriend Tony Romo still calling his ex Carrie Underwood on occasion, which the latter has claimed - may be the best.

"I looked at his call log," she said Wednesday, denying that Romo's been calling Underwood in an interview with a Nashville radio station.

NOTE TO JESSICA: You can actually erase your call log. And doesn't the fact that you feel you have to look at it tell you something?

Of Tony Romo, Carrie Underwood said in September's Allure: "The phone will ring and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer."

Jessica Simpson's response:

"Tony and I both laughed at that. We got a chuckle out of it."

What do you think: Is that playoff choke artist Romo still calling Underwood - and whose side are you on, Team Jessica or Team Carrie?

Although former American Idol sensation Carrie Underwood has become one of country music's biggest stars, fame has its downside – dating.

"You never really know why somebody wants to be around you, or if they do genuinely like you," Underwood, 25, tells Allure.

"I wish everyone had a label on their forehead so you could automatically tell their intentions. Sometimes you just wish that no one wanted anything from you."

The star recalls a time soon after her success on American Idol when a guy who'd ignored her in college – clearly enamored by her newfound success – called saying that "he wanted to explain." That's what they all say.

Fame hasn't helped create lasting relationships for her either. Earlier this year, Underwood split from Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford via text-message.

As for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who now is dating a possibly (or at least wannabe) pregnant Jessica Simpson, Carrie Underwood says she still hears from the football star sometimes – but doesn't always pick up.

"We were both small town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing with fame," says the singer. "And now "I don't know. The phone will ring and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer."

No, it doesn't involve her beating up Jessica Simpson.

Below is the video for Carrie Underwood’s new single, “Just A Dream," the forth single from her second studio album album, Carnival Ride.

“Just A Dream” chronicles a young woman who is about to get married, only to discover that her husband-to-be soldier has been killed in combat.

It's a nice song. Chances of this being played on Army Wives at some point? High. Carrie is beautiful. Okay, on to the video.

Here's a celebrity fashion face-off featuring a pair of singing stars - and a beautiful dress pattern that suits them both to a T.

Workout champ Fergie and country goddess Carrie Underwood leave subtle floral prints in the dust for their bold flower-motif dresses.

Which do you like better ...

Who wears the pattern best, Carrie Underwood or Fergie?

As celebrity feuds go, this one is not as heated as that of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, nor does it involve the n-word.

But it has fired up fans just the same. Rumors that Tony Romo and Carrie Underwood still pine for each other - and Jessica Simpson's recent passive-aggressive t-shirt bashing of Carrie - have caused quite a stir in recent days!

As our Caption Contest and our Tale of the Tape have proven, the battle lines are clearly drawn. Which side are you on, readers?

The debate rages on: Team Jessica Simpson or Team Carrie Underwood?

Carrie Underwood, our current Caption Contest subject, used to date Tony Romo, who is now dating Jessica Simpson. But he may still be pining for Carrie, and Jessica is jealous, and apparently talkin' smack about Carrie (see photo below)!

It's so on. Which of these women of Tony Romo will emerge victorious after a grueling, 10-round fight? Let's find out. Ding, ding!

Welcome, celebrity news readers, to The Hollywood Gossip Caption Contest, a Friday afternoon tradition. Who won this week's Caption Contest?

This photo of beautiful singer Carrie Underwood giving the thumbs-down generated some terrific responses. You guys and girls all made us laugh!

The winner, though, is the riddler. Congratulations! The winning entry appears below the photo. Thanks to all for playing and good luck again this week!

"What's red, white, and black? Jessica Simpson in a red "Real Girls Eat Meat" T-shirt when I get done with her!"

It looks like Jessica Simpson's meddling father, Joe Simpson, isn't the only person to blame for her recent relationship woes with Tony Romo.

Although the two are now back together for "on trial basis," a friend told In Touch about Jessica's supposedly raging jealousy issues.

"Jessica can be so insecure when she is with Tony, and it only gets worse when he is around other women," said the friend.

The pal says any female competition is bound to upset Jessica, but the subject of Tony's ex, Carrie Underwood, really riles her.

"(Jessica) is really upset that (Tony Romo) is still communicating with Carrie," the source told the celebrity news magazine.

We suppose that's actually a good thing - not to mention a pretty rare feat, and a huge compliment for a bona fide, All-American star.

But we think we could allow the American Idol and Grammy-winning singer to let her success and good looks go to her head a little bit.

Witness the celebrity quote below ...

"I don't consider myself sexy ... I'm kind of a nervous person in general," says Underwood, 25, in the July issue of Cosmopolitan.

"I'm socially awkward. I'm not tall and sensuous. I usually wear sweats everywhere I go. Oh, and I burp a lot."

THG NOTE: Will you marry us right now, Carrie?

Despite being the consensus #1 on The Hollywood Gossip Desirability Scale, Carrie Underwood has had some messy breakups in the past.

Idiots like Chace Crawford and Tony Romo (who, according to some celebrity gossip sources, is regretting this error) let her get away.

While she doesn't name names, she tells Cosmopolitan that, "Cheating is a deal breaker â€" If you cheat, you're gone." Amen, girl.

Just the same, the beautiful, blonde Oklahoma native doesn't believe in plotting revenge against her ex-boyfriends.

"Getting revenge on a guy is just not worth it to me," she says. "The best revenge I can think of is becoming famous."

You have to hand it to In Touch Weekly.

Citing a text message from J.R. Rotem, who clearly sent no such text, as evidence that Britney Spears is pregnant was the mag's finest hour.

This is a close second.

We'd love to know what "facts" the celebrity news magazine is using in its new cover story - that Tony Romo is betraying Jessica Simpson because he hasn't given up on his previous celebrity ex, Carrie Underwood!

Don't get us wrong, Tony Romo would get props from us if this were true.

After all, Carrie Underwood is the epitome of natural beauty - not to mention a down-home gal with a brain, a great voice, and a lack of insane parents.

But we're not buying it.

For one, Joe Simpson has Tony Romo under constant surveillance, making a secret rendezvous a logistical impossibility. Second, why would Carrie take him back, after he broke up with her to focus on football, then took up with Jessica?
