Jessica Simpson has several reasons to smile this holiday season. While it may seem like her sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has it all right now — an adoring husband Pete Wentz, her son Bronx Mowgli and a Broadway debut in Chicago — Jessica may be catching up soon! She has a new crush that she's very excited about!
OK! has learned that Jessica is crazy about Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan since she connected with him at a party on Nov. 6.
The singer hasn't had much luck with guys since her divorce from Nick Lachey in 2005, but she feels a connection with Billy.
"She has completely fallen for Billy and his easygoing, smart attitude,"a close friend of Jess said. "She says she wants to take things a lot further."
On Sept. 11 Jessica tweeted, "My friend, Billy Corgan, has a pure and enlightening outlook on faith. Go to his new website!"
Her friends said Jessica has "secretly been crushing on him for months and felt there was a connection."
