Remember way back when we told you Jessica Simpson’s boyfriend Tony Romo was still calling his ex, Carrie Underwood? Yeah. Well Carrie’s super-sorry she let that cat out of the bag. Not sorry that he was still calling her, mind you. But sorry that she said anything.

In next month’s Elle, Carrie opens up about the remark, saying “It was something that was said in passing, and I would never mean to say anything to hurt anybody or stir up anything, because I’m just not about drama…at all.” Jess quickly refuted the claim, saying that she regularly checks her boyfriend’s call log, which doesn’t sound like a psycho girlfriend thing to do at all.

In the war of the words that’s erupted between Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood, Carrie’s landed the latest blow. According to OK! Magazine, a close, personal friend of the country cutie finds Jessica’s recent declarations of love for former flame Tony Romo rather pathetic, and thinks Jess has gotten a little big.

Underwood, who told Allure recently that she still gets calls from Jess’s boyfriend, told her friend, “She finds Jessica’s love of putting her life on display pretty desperate. She laughed at the People cover, because its the same one Jess did about John Mayer — same smile, same look, except she’s a little fatter.” Oh SNAP! Way to set the ladies back a few years by bickering over a mediocre quarterback. [Image: Getty Images]

It appears Carrie Underwood has a thing for athletes. After a failed romance with Jessica Simpson-lover Tony Romo, Carrie’s set her sights on Olympian Michael Phelps. The pair, who have yet to meet, allegedly started texting after Phelps found out the country cutie thought he was “cute.” And while Phelps might be the greatest swimmer ever, he apparently can’t feed himself. “I’m not so sure you’d want to see me eat! It might not make a great first impression,” the swimmer allegedly texted Underwood, according to The National Enquirer. The two are planning on a quiet date near Underwood’s Nashville home.

Jessica Simpson says she’s not the jealous type, but she keeps a close eye on her man. The singer insists that her boyfriend Tony Romo isn’t calling his ex, Carrie Underwood. Carrie says in the September issue of Allure: “The phone will ring and it’ll be him [Romo], and I’ll maybe not answer.” When asked about Carrie’s claims during an interview with a Nashville radio station, Jessica said that she “looked at his call log” and that “Tony and I chuckled about it.”

Jessica also went out of her way to make it known that she’s happy with her beau. “Most of the guys I dated were captivated by my heart but they had different ways of trying to get to me,” she said. “But Tony understands me.” We’re not totally convinced it was her “heart” that captivated her ex boyfriends, but it’s nice to know that the two are going strong.

Hide all the copies of Allure, because there’s some news Jessica Simpson isn’t going to want to hear. Apparently, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo is still calling ex Carrie underwood…but she doesn’t pick up. “The phone will ring and it’ll be him,” the country star tells the magazine in the latest issue. “And I’ll maybe not answer.” It’s like a country song!

Carrie and Tony, who dated briefly last spring, denied they were a couple, but pictures proved otherwise. Jessica started dating Tony shortly after, in November of 2007. They’ve had a rocky relationship, reportedly breaking up a few times, and its hard not to wonder if Jess is Tony’s rebound following his break-up with Carrie…Could Jessica Simpson be the Super Bowl loser’s Carrie Underwood?
