The pals of Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan are shaking their heads in disbelief after hearing the news he’s now dating pop star Jessica Simpson.
Reality TV tart Tila Tequila, an ex of Billy’s, insists the 42-year-old rocker is way out of 29-year-old Jess’ league. She says, “I think Jessica Simpson is a waste of space. She can’t even put two and two together. She doesn’t show any female empowerment. She gets screwed over by her ex-boyfriends because she’s all clingy. She should stop being so weak and stand up for herself. If Billy is happy with Jessica, then I’m happy for him – but I think he can do a lot better.”
Another close friend of Billy’s says the unusual coupling is wrong, suggesting Billy is only in the relationship to drum up alum sales. The source insists, “He is dying for the attention and that’s probably why he’s hanging out with her.”
