Tony Romo partied like a rock star with college friends in Chicago this weekend, and reportedly revealed to his friends that he and Jessica Simpson have split! Said a buddy:

“They’re broken up. He told us they broke up and that was that. We’re guys so we didn’t talk about it much.”

Romo enjoyed the ladies' attention everywhere he went on Saturday night. An eyewitness said at one bar:

“He was surrounded by girls. We had to restrain some who forcibly tried to make their way to his table.”

The evening ended at the Manor Nightclub, where the "bevy of beauties" hanging out in the VIP section were not enough for Romo and his friends. They supposedly "sent the nightclub’s bus to pick up more girls from the Hard Rock Hotel where Romo and his friends were crashing."

Hmmmm.... what to make of this news. I'm wondering if Jessica dumped HIM because she's pissed that Ashlee is tying the knot before she could get remarried.... and/or that Ashlee is supposedly going to have a baby before Jessica. Or maybe it's all a big publicity stunt engineered by Papa Joe! Which would not surprise me in the least.
