It was her birthday and she’ll cry if she wants to. On the eve of turning 29, Jessica Simpson learned that boyfriend Tony Romo was putting an end to their relationship.
Shelving plans for a Barbie and Ken themed party, Simpson spent a quiet weekend with her family as Romo hit a Los Angeles club with a large group of friends. It seemed like a sudden reversal. On July 10, the night of the party, pal Emmy Rossum tweeted about putting her outfit together. Gosh Tony, that's only a couple of steps removed from leaving her at the altar!
The singer took to her Twitter page ending with the melancholy note: "Falling asleep with my mom and the dogs. Please lord give all of my beautiful fans, friends, enemies, and family rest. Bring all of us peace."
