This just in from in-house Overheardian Molly Nolan:
Last night at Borders books in West Village I was standing near the front and in walked a cute blonde I saw out of the corner of my eye. I could tell she was with someone and low and behold it was…. Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo! She had on a pink sweatshirt and jeans with high heeled clogs, a blue striped scarf around her head, wrapped as a bandana, and her hair was sort of curly sort of straight, but not at all “done”, she really didn’t even have much make-up on- I hate her for that b/c she still looked good. She was holding a big burnt orange and black purse in the crook of her elbow. Tony had on a shorts (you know b/c it is January in Dallas), a long sleeve shirt and baseball cap.
I was still waiting for Joe to walk in but he didn’t. They went straight for the magazines. And I even heard her say to him as she rubbed her belly that she was ’so full’. They lingered there a while and she picked up several magazines. I wondered if they were the ones she knew she was in or not, but they were mostly fashion not trash mags. He then walked over to the new best sellers- man am really observant or what? I sound like a stalker.
A man came over to him and said something about good luck on the game and he said thank you. I really couldn’t hear that well. I then walked over to where Jessica was (still in the magazine section)- half expecting her to tell me how cool my boots were so we could become friends- and a guy came up and started talking to her about a girl he went to church with that went to school with her. She was very nice and said that she remembered her and that she has a fond memory of driving in a car with this person and it was the first time she ever heard Brian McKnight. She told him that she couldn’t believe that she now had three kids, after he told her and to tell the girl hello . I went upstairs to look for something and realized that Tony was up there as well. When I came back down she was looking at the greeting cards and fun gifts and people were walking around and noticing she was there, the air was full of whispers… one guy even said to me “that’s Jessica Simpson” and when I said, “I know”, he said, “Ok, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t crazy”.
So I guess that they are an item, don’t believe the on-again, off-again rumors. When I got home and told my boyfriend, he said, he better be concentrating on the game, not the girl, or he is going to have an earful from a lot of people! Go Cowboys!
So there you have it, people. Get out of your house and find some celebrities.
This is the funniest recounting of a celebrity encounter I have ever read. I laughed out loud several times. Loved it
That’s so cool!!!!
Reallly enjoyed reading something real for a chance.
Really enjoyed that recap. Also a little jealous that you were so close to Jessica.. almost as jealous as I am of the fact that you were that close to Tony! Lucky dog.
Ps. I bet those were some cute boots.
Jessica reads?
The boyfriend was right: Tony had better play well Sunday or both he and Jessica will be quite unpopular around these parts. So there.
Good job, stalker!!! Thanks for the scoop!
I have a secret obsession with Jessica (hey- at least I can admit it), as do thousands of other people. My brother plays golf with Tony sometimes, so, there’s a chance I could meet her someday!
And I hear that Tony is a great golfer, which is just one more reason to like him. He should know, though, that golfer girlfriends are very different than football girlfriends.
My brother says he’s a great golfer. How are golfer girlfriends different than football girlfriends?
Oh, Jennifer. Let’s just say that Jessica can be a football girlfriend, but she wouldn’t make it in PGA circles, unless she hung out with John Daly, who gets a free pass. Ask your brother for further details.
I know plenty about the PGA girlfriends; my brother is associated with the PGA. Maybe I just don’t know about NFL girlfriends.
You intrigue me, Jennifer.
Jennifer- if you meet her then I need you to make sure to introduce me! Again, looking for the approval from her that she loves my boots and we can be friends.
I am a football girlfriend! no, until I learned to LOVE football, I was a football widow…
I will do my best, Molly! However, I envy you for being so close to her the other day.
I remembered to read it! Have you considered a future with the FBI?
