Simpson's movie release pushed back
The omens look bad for Jessica Simpson 's late-summer film "Blonde Ambition."
Sources say her manager dad has pushed back the release date twice because the movie is no good.
An insider said:
"First, the release date was set for Aug. 3, and then it was delayed until the last week of August. Papa Joe then intervened and said he wasn't comfortable with the level of competition from other films that month."
Another source says:
"Jessica was not very focused on-set and flubbed her lines often. She always had her dog around, was on the phone with [then-] boyfriend John Mayer or was sitting in a warmed-up SUV."
The source said the film, which is still incomplete, is currently without a firm release date.
Meanwhile, the hot rumor in Los Angeles last week was that Simpson was set to have a romantic rendezvous with Jake Gyllenhaal. Although there is no evidence the two met up, paparazzi had been tipped off that the pair "have a crush on each other" and that they should be on the lookout for a date, according to one celebrity-chaser.

Jessica Simpson & John Mayer Split
It looks like Jessica Simpson and John Mayer are on the outs.
A source close to the singer-actress tells CBS News that the couple broke up last week. The source says that things may not be over for good since Simpson and Mayer have broken up before.
"They're still talking," the source said.
PEOPLE.com is reporting that the couple have been keeping in close contact, even as she is promoting her movie 'Major Movie Star' at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
"They talk to each other at least six times a day. I don't know if this breakup is permanent, but for right now they are broken up."
Simpson's rep, Lauren Auslander, told CBS that "we don't comment on our clients' personal lives."
The Web site TMZ reported Friday that Mayer was at the New York club Stereo by himself on Thursday night.
Another source who knows the couple confirms to PEOPLE that pair have split. "She's kind and sweet and he's a terrific guy, but it's safe to say it has run its course."
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton first reported news of a split on his blog.
The pair were hand in hand just over a week ago at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala on May 7 in New York City.
Word that Simpson and Mayer were an item began circulating last August but the couple were mum on the topic. Sometime after they began popping up at events.
They got quite cozy in the V.I.P at Christina Aguilera 's New Year's Eve bash at the Hudson Hotel in New York City. Simpson also recently spent time with Mayer in Italy.
Her divorce from singer Nick Lachey was finalized last June. Lachey is dating TV personality Vanessa Minnillo.

Jessica still keep in touch with Nick
Jessica Simpson says she was stung when ex-husband Nick Lachey jumped back into dating after their high-profile breakup.
In an interview in the March issue of Elle magazine, on newsstands February 13, she said:
"Oh, it hurt me. Two or three weeks later? Yeah, I'd say it kind of hurt me."
Simpson and Lachey, 33, starred in the MTV reality show, "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica." She filed for divorce in December 2005, after three years of marriage.
She made that decision, she says, after watching the 2004 romance "The Notebook" starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as star-crossed lovers, on a plane ride home to Texas.
"I just figured out the statement. It was about that moment of desperation. I needed to breathe."
Does she still keep in touch with the singer, who is dating MTV's Vanessa Minnillo?
"Mm-hmmm. He's so much a part of my life, how could I not be? Any guy that's going to be with me from this day forward has to understand that. You want to help me find a guy?"
She says she "is so happy right now," but declined to discuss her love life.
"I want to tell you everything, but I have to sew my lips together."
Asked whether she's in love, a grinning Simpson plays coy:
"I didn't say yes."

Some serious weight loss
The incredibly skinny actress has no problem gaining weight for roles. When originally cast for Bridget Jones's Diary, Renée Zellweger was told she was too skinny to play the part of a chubby Bridget and was forced to pack on the pounds for the role. Since then, she has gained weight for the sequel to Bridget Jones as well as Cold Mountain. As Roxy in the film version of Chicago, she underwent 10 months of gruelling training to reach professional standards and slimmed down once again.
More after the jump.

Jessica Simpson is starving herself
Jessica Simpson is apparently starving herself to stay skinny for her new movie.
The ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ actress is currently filming ‘Blonde Ambition’ with Luke Wilson in Louisiana but is not taking advantage of the delicious local cuisine as she is paranoid about gaining weight.
During a break from shooting last week, Jessica visited Chili’s restaurant with friends, but barely ate anything.
One fellow diner revealed to Life and Style Weekly magazine: “She ordered Caribbean chicken salad but she only ate the chicken in it. She left everything else.”
A few days later, homemade gumbo - a type of stew - was served on the film set but Jessica refrained from tucking in.
A source on set revealed: “Luke said, ‘This is the best thing ever’. He had his whole face in it! But Jessica didn’t touch it.
“She’s not really eating while she’s working because she’s trying to stay slim.”

Jessica Simpson's mother is in charge
When it comes to Jessica Simpson's public image, mother knows best!
Jessica's parents Joe and Tina squared off over whether to pull the plug on a sex-sational photo shoot of their shapely daughter. Mom won the battle.
Joe was all for the art director and photographer's vision of Jessica appearing in a classic layout once done by Kate Moss years ago.
It called for a very sultry, pouting Jessica to face the camera appearing in very tight short-shorts and bra. Standing behind her was a hunky shirtless model posed to look as if he were pulling on his pants. He wasn't baring anything, but it was pretty damn suggestive.
But just when the model started unbuttoning his pants for the photographer to begin snapping, Tina blurted out: 'Time out! Hold it! Nope. This isn't going to work.'
Tina said the pose was too risque and made Jessica look slutty. Joe was perplexed. He saw the setup in advance and had no problem. But when he tried to persuade Tina to change her mind, she'd have none of it.
Tina dug in her heels and said there was no way she'd allow Jess to appear in the layout the way it was designed.
She told Joe: 'I'm her mother. Trust me. This isn't the image we want.'
All Joe could do was shrug. After a few minutes the shot was reconfigured. The eventual layout still featured Jessica and the shirtless hunk. But this time his pants remained on."
Tina got her way, and showed Joe and everyone else who's the boss when it comes to Jess.
