Gossip rags, beware! Jessica Simpson is now running the show. All by herself! Since firing publicist Rob Shuter last month after a PEOPLE cover screamed the star was head over heels in love with some guy named John Mayer, Simpson has taken it upon herself to call all those tabloids and open the lines of communication. Is this a way to repair her damaged relationship with the press, who pounces on anything Jess-related? Looks that way, at least according to what Simpson spilled to Jane magazine: "It's been very emotional. But I am my own publicist right now. I've called all the heads of the tabloids. I don't want anyone else to speak for me now," she said. Jess said it was hard to find forgiveness for those evil editors who hurt her, but she's a naturally forgiving person...must be the Southern Baptist in her. She also said she knows exactly who leaks all that false info and the person (or persons?) is definitely NOT a friend. "Trust me, if inside sources were my friends, the magazines would have a lot juicier info!" Now what does that mean, Jess? Are you hiding more skeletons in your closet? Sounds to me like you just opened up another can of worms with that last quote. But what do I know...you're the publicist now. All hail the Master! I hear the cover came from some of these shots...

It turns out that the quarterback for the CAL Golden Bears, Nate Longshore, whose having a magnificent season this year has tickets saved for Jessica Simpson and would love for her to show up at a CAL game. Sounds like a fantastic duo, I'm mean if she mingles with the USC quarterback behind Nick's back what's so bad about a Golden Bear.
