Nick Lachey was also devastated when Jessica Simpson’s dog was snatched by a coyote last month.

The former 98 Degrees member, who gifted maltipoo Daisy to former wife Jessica, admitted that he was thinking about Jessica after learning the dog’s fate.

He also admitted that he did not reach out to her. Although he thought that it is part of the cycle of life, he was also sad to hear what happened to the dog.

Jessica Simpson, who lost her pooch after coyote snatched the pet, was spotted dining out at Vino in Encino recently with pal Ken Paves and she looked sad.

An onlooker revealed that Jessica did not look that she had her best mood as she made a heart-to-heart conversation with her friend Ken Paves. But they looked certainly enjoying the wine.

It was reported that Jessica called off the pooch search. According to her spokesperson that the search had no leads and chances were slim from the beginning.

When a coyote stole Jessica Simpson’s dog Daisy, she posted a note on Twitter offering a reward, which puzzled a celebrity dog trainer Jennifer McCarthy.

McCarthy concluded that chances of surviving of the pooch is very slim, which means the dog is probably eaten by the coyote.

She thought that the pooch’s disappearance could be an important lesson in coexisting with wildlife. She added that people have to understand the circle of life and how it works. Perhaps if Simpson is ready for another pet, she had to keep it on a leash or carry a pepper spray or an air horn to scare coyotes.

As her previous romances had respective girlfriends, Jessica Simpson was rumored to be desperate as she allegedly reunite with John Mayer.

An insider claimed that Jessica is secretly hooking up with her former flame John Mayer. Jessica allegedly went to his L.A. studio to listen to his new album after listening to his songs about breakups, they reunited.

Both representatives for Mayer and Simpson did not make any comment on their clients’ personal lives but a source close to Simpson clarified the rumors that she hasn’t gotten back together with John and dished that Simpson has been out of town shooting “The Price of Beauty.”

Jessica Simpson has put a curse on ex-boyfriend Tony Romo with the help of a witch she met on the internet.

The unlucky-in-love starlet, who was dumped by American football star Tony Romo the night before her 29th birthday last month, has visited a woman she met on the internet to help her put a spell on Tony and ruin his chances of falling in love again.

A source told National Enquirer magazine: “Jessica is normally a really sweet girl, but she still can’t believe Tony callously dumped her.

“She found a woman in California. The two met at the star’s Beverly Hills home where they lit a candle, burned some incense and performed a couple of incantations.”

The scorned singer-and-actress hopes the meeting will also taint the sportsman’s career, and is waiting in readiness for his next match on September 13, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Meanwhile, Jessica has reportedly been cosying up to football star Colt Brennan – a Washington Redskins quarterback and sporting rival of Tony’s.

The hunky sportsman has even sent her one of his team’s shirts to wear.

Romantic relations between Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo appear to be absolutely done and dusted, but according to insiders, the surprise break-up was largely a result of peer pressure from Romo’s pals and Jess’s love of adult beverages.

“Jessica would get really drunk and obnoxious, it was out of control. She would be sprawled everywhere with her head on his lap and the look on Tony’s face said it all,” an insider told Tarts. “He was so embarrassed in front of all the guys and his teammates were really harsh on him over it. Breaking up was a really hard decision for Tony to make.”

A report also indicated that the Dallas Cowboy really did love the pop princess and “fought for her” with his skeptical friends, but in the end, it got to a point where it just didn’t make sense for him to stay in the relationship.

But in Simpson’s defense, a friend from her camp told Tarts that she doesn’t drink too much, and that there were numerous issues going on between them before Romo said his goodbyes.

“She was devastated and it did come as a shock, however,” added the source.

Speaking of shocks, Miss Simpson and her BFF/hair stylist Ken Paves were caught in the 6.6 earthquake that rocked Japan on Wednesday.

“We just had another earthquake and @kenpaves fell to the ground,” Jessica tweeted. “We couldn’t stop laughing. He flew out of his boots. SO funny!!”

It seems that Jessica Simpson isn’t taking the breakup too well. Tony Romo’s former girlfriend stumbled out of Katsuya restaurant on Saturday night looking like she had a little too much to drink.

It also didn’t help that the pop songstress was wearing a loose floral jumpsuit that was slipping off her body. Could Jess be losing some weight after breaking up with the football star? Let the transformation begin!

Jess was accompanied by her sister Ashlee Simpson and hairstylist Ken Paves. Nothing cures a broken heart like the company of friends and family; and some alcoholic beverages.

Jessica Simpson has a pretty open schedule now that she’s a single lady again. The truth is, most of her time was revolved some way or another around Tony Romo’s football schedule, which keeps him busy for a good part of the year.

Jess was scheduled to begin shooting on her new reality show The Price of Beauty, which was the search to find true beauty, and a show staffer tells Us Weekly, “The plan was to shoot most of it around Tony’s football schedule so she could support him through the season. “Now they’re busy redoing the whole shooting schedule.”

The show is still set to premiere on VH1 next March, but now she’ll just have a lot more time to film it!

And speaking of being on her own, Jess has reportedly sworn off dating for a while. A source close to her says, “She’s refusing to be set up, she doesn’t want to date, and she’s definitely avoiding meaningless hookups.”

“Jessica wants to figure out what she does to repel men and fix it….She’s hoping that with a period of introspection, she’ll be able to bounce back stronger and find her true Mr. Right.”

Poor Jessica! We think “repel” is too strong of a word! But kudos to her for deciding to be single again! She seems like she has so much love to give, maybe she gives too much of herself to the relationship.

Rearranging her entire show schedule around Tony’s football season does seem like she’s putting in more effort than he is.

Jessica Simpson exuberantly announced Tony Romo — “the man who loves me!” — was at her Feb. 6 concert.

Backstage that night, Romo would introduce her to Natalie Smith, a younger, skinnier look-alike of the singer, who, multiple sources revealed that he had been sending “flirty texts” to for months while still dating Simpson. (Smith is the daughter of the associate athletic director at Romo’s alma mater, Eastern Illinois University.)

“We hung out for, like 10 to 15 minutes, backstage,” Smith said. “She was cool and nice.”

Multiple sources added that Romo was having an emotional affair with Smith months before dumping Simpson on July 9, the eve of her 29th birthday.

Romo, 29, and Smith, 22, “are are not officially dating, but they are having an intimate relationship,” a Smith source revealed. Adds another pal of Smith, who typically dined with Romo when he’d visit his college town: “They’ve always flirted and texted each other. They had phone conversations one to two months before the breakup.”

For more details on how Simpson’s a “wreck” over the news, how Smith is determined not to become clingy like Simpson, details of Romo’s multiple secret meetings with Smith while he was dating Simpson (including one just days after he dumped her) and how Simpson will get her revenge, pick up the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

Jessica Simpson stepped out in Los Angeles on Monday night, marking her first public appearance since her split from footballer Tony Romo.

The singer and actress attended the unveiling of her father Joe Simpson’s newest music artist, An-Ya.

Simpson was all smiles (and looking like those visits to Harley Pasternak have been paying off) to celebrate the signing of Russian An-Ya to Papa Joe Records at the Hollywood Hills home of jeweler Pascal Mouawad.

An on-looker tells RadarOnline.com that Simpson was “very happy” all evening.

“Jessica was joking, smiling and having fun,” the partygoer said.

Simpson snacked lightly on sliders and candy, and sipped an AMP energy drink.
