Last week, Jessica Simpson was spotted having dinner with her mom, BF Eric Johnson and some friends. Little did she know that she would be sitting about 3 tables down from her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, and his longtime girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo.

At first, we heard that the parties kept to themselves, without much to-do or bother. Now, we’re hearing someone was spewing sour grapes at the far table – and it wasn’t Nick!

Sources at the restaurant overheard Jessica get nasty with her server, saying: “I hope Vanessa likes her clothes because I bought them for her, since Nick took all my money.”

Ouch! Low blow! True, but still…

Then, another patron at the place confessed to seeing Jessica get really drunk, “drinking margaritas and doing shots of tequila,” all because she couldn’t deal with Nick being so close to her. The whole encounter was described by one source as “weird” and “awkward”.

Wowza. It’s been five years now. You’d think she’d have moved on by now!

Ken Paves told E! News, that he has not spent any time with the Dukes of Hazard star over the last few months, and cited hectic schedules as the reason.

‘We’re both busy,’ he explained.

‘I’ve been working on a lot of things that have kept me in town or travelling.’

But a source close to Paves said that the real reason for the parting of ways is much more personal.

‘Ken is sick of her cycle of dumping friends when she’s with a guy,’ the insider said. ‘She smothers guys and they dump her. Then she goes back to Ken

Simpson turned to Twitter again Sunday night, saying back off. She says she knows Daisy hasn’t been found after being snatched by a coyote.

Simpson posted a comment on Twitter when a coyote was taken from her Los Angeles backyard. Since then her ex husband Nick Lachey, who gave her the dog, says he’s also heart broken about its demise.

Nick Lachey: ‘I Didn’t Reach Out To Jessica Simpson Over Stolen Dog’

Nick Lachey still hasn’t spoken to Jessica Simpson following the theft of her dog, despite looking after the animal when the couple were married.

Daisy, a caramel coloured malti poo, was snatched from Simpson’s Los Angeles home in September by a wild coyote.

Lachey, who split from Simpson in 2005, told Access Hollywood: “I think a lot of people forget that Daisy was my dog too – for years.”

The singer said that his thoughts had been with the devastated singer, but he admitted that he hadn’t made contact about the theft.

“I didn’t reach out to her. I’m sure she was upset… I was upset… It was sad to hear that happened, but it’s part of the cycle of life,” he said.

Simpson called in the pet detectives in an attempt to try and find Daisy, but efforts proved unsuccessful.

“Tony Romo is one of my favorite quarterbacks,” Eminem tells Detroit’s Metro Times. “So I felt kinda conflicted doing the Jessica thing.”

The original plan was to have a slender Jessica Simpson lookalike in the video. “When I say, ‘Jessica Simpson, sing the chorus,’ we were gonna have a chick who looked like Jessica Simpson come out and sing,’ he says.

As the video was shooting, Simpson’s curvier figure started making headlines, prompting Eminem to change the video. “But then Jessica got fat,” he says. “I mean, not really fat but she certainly got fat for … well, Jessica Simpson got fat for Jessica Simpson!”

In the interview, Eminem says that his singles are “little time capsules of what’s going on in pop culture right at that moment.”

Sometimes, the little time capsules can ruffle some feathers. Nick Cannon recently wrote a scathing blog entry directed at the rapper over comments he made about Mariah Carey. It wasn’t the first time that a celebrity has tangled with Eminem; he has a history of high-profile feuds.

Still, he prefers historical accuracy over some occasional hurt feelings. “I’ve always wanted people to be able to look back at each video and go, ‘Oh, remember what was going on at that moment!’ ” he says. ” ‘Oh, that’s when Jessica Simpson got fat.’ And even if she gets thin again, that’s fine. But for that moment in time, she was fat.”

My first kiss was when I was 14. I could tell it was coming because Jason picked up a handful of mints. We had been going out for over a year, so it was really special. want to be a diva… like people-totally-respect-my-music diva, not diva like carry-my-diet-Coke-around.

If being single and losing her dog to a coyote weren’t bad enough for Jessica Simpson, she now has to find out her ex-husband is getting back together with his ex-girlfriend.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have been on a total PDA parade for the last three days (and nights!) in Las Vegas…

On Saturday night, the two checked out singer Matt Goss’ new show at the Palms Casino Resort. (Side note: Kim Kardashian was there the night before and even got on stage to sing and dance with Goss.)

Nick and Vanessa were later seen partying and dancing until the wee hours with Wilmer Valderrama at nightclub LAX.

No word if they were hurtin’ hard the next morning, but on Sunday they watched the New York Giants game against the Dallas Cowboys (you know, Tony Romo’s team) at First Food & Bar inside the Palazzo.

They obviously liked First Food & Bar. They returned last night to watch Monday Night Football and dine on Grandma’s Pizza and ice cream sandwiches.

Jessica Simpson and John Mayer have reportedly rekindled their romance after failing to find love with others since their break-up.

According to the Daily Express, Simpson was dumped by American football star Tony Romo on the eve of her 29th birthday in July and guitarist Mayer failed to find lasting love with Jennifer Aniston.

Reports suggest Romo split from the pop star after he uncovered text messages from her ex, Mayer, while they were dating – and now Simpson has reportedly reunited with the singer/songwriter, who dumped the blonde in 2007 after a year-long romance.

A source tells In Touch magazine, “They’ve always had an amazing connection. Jessica is kidding herself that her and John stand a chance.”
