Even though Jessica Simpson is “bummed” about her recent split from quarterback Tony Romo, a source says, “it’s the best thing for her.”

Simpson, who was dumped the night before her 29th birthday, is “in love with love,” a source tells People magazine. “I think when Jessica gets into a relationship, she thinks she is going to marry him and have babies. Every time she ends up with a boy, she is in the zone that it’s leading to marriage and babies. That’s how she’s programmed.”

“I guarantee when she was with John Mayer she thought she was going to marry John.” According to the source, “It’s been tough for her.  Tony had his eyes on everyone but her towards the end.”

Romo, 29, has recently been linked to 22-year-old Natalie Smith, the daughter of the associated athletic director at Eastern Illinois University. Smith’s father has denied the rumors that the pair are an item.

Simpson’s closeness to her family is also rumored to have taken a toll on the relationship as well. “They are extremely close and when you date her, you date her family.”

Simpson is currently staying with her parents in their Encino home, and is taking some time to focus on herself.  She recently teamed up with VH1 for a new reality show, “The Price of Beauty.”

The first college to begin this intramural sport was Middlebury in Pennsylvania in 2005.

During this roadtrip, the teams were covered by MTV, CBS and ESPN.

 According to the official website, the total press coverage amounted to about 3 million viewers. After the teams returned to Middlebury, almost 180 other colleges inquired about the sport and starting their own game.

New Addition to Cast of Twilight Saga

nss1 

Model Noot Seear has taken off from the runway and about to land in the dark and mysterious Twilight Saga.

The newfound actress will take on the role of a vampire seductress in New Moon that goes by the name of Heidi. Heidi is a member of the elite band of Italian vampires known as none other than the Volturi. Seear’s character possesses the gift of seduction.

The director of New Moon, Chris Weitz, talks about casting the runway model on the big screen, “We wanted someone who had an unearthly and unlikely beauty, but could also convey humor and menace. … It’s rare to find a stunningly attractive person who also happens to have the ability to act.”

Seear mentions her previous work, saying, “Modeling was great to me. I made a lot of money doing it, [but] what makes acting different is that you get a voice. You’re not just a picture.”

She also mentions, “I was really scared because you’re not allowed to look in the camera [when shooting a movie], but in the modeling world, you’re supposed to.”

To solve this problem, she was told to wear heavy-duty violet contacts during her scene. Unfortunately, these contacts impaired her vision. Seear says, “I literally couldn’t see two feet in front of me. They would tell me, ‘Look at Kristin [Stewart],’ and I was like,’Okay. Where is she?’”

Catch the sexiness of the whole Twilight Saga in New Moon, coming to theatres near you on November 20.

District judge Tim Workman told the actor, “I accept cultivation was not commercial.”
