Joe Simpson Begs Tony Romo to Attend Wedding

Joe Simpson practically got down on his knees and begged Tony Romo to escort Jessica Simpson to her Ashlee’s wedding on Saturday. Tony has agreed.

Today Tony met Jessica for lunch at Katsuya in Hollywood. Tony arrived alone in a cab. Jessica arrived in her Range Rover.

Jessica’s rep, Cindy Berger, is still denying reports the pair have broken up. C’mon, they arrive in separate cars? That’s not a date, it’s an appointment. All business.

Ashlee Simpson, who is pregnant, and her fiancé Pete Wentz are tying the knot on Saturday. Papa Joe threw a bachelor party for Pete at Mr. Chow’s on Thursday evening, and even picked up the $1,000 bill.

At Saturday’s wedding Joe is probably hoping Jessica can get Tony good and drunk, then try to rekindle their relationship. I don’t think Tony is that gullible. He’s probably already had a long talk with Nick Lachey.

Something definitely happened to scare Tony away. Fox News is reporting that Tony had plans to propose marriage to Jessica in a few weeks, then suddenly changed his mind. We have a feeling Papa Joe’s overbearing behavior is what convinced Tony to move on.
