When Perez Hilton and Star magazine team up, it’s truly a thing of beauty.

The tabloid, which has published such ridiculous garbage about Jessica Simpson that she threatened to legally challenge them twice, now speculates that her new beau Eric Johnson is “using her” for money.

“Jessica is so starved for love, she just doesn’t see any of Eric’s faults,” claims a Star “insider.” His “faults,” apparently, are accompanying Simpson on a birthday vacation to Italy and sharing amenities.

Hilton can’t wait to pipe up, taking Star’s story and insisting Simpson is “usually unlucky in love!” After regurgitating the tab’s story about Johnson and Simpson’s fancy trip, the blogger buys into the notion that the former football player is “just using her.”

“Smart guy, ha!” chortles Hilton. “But will Jess catch on??”

But will Jess catch on?

Um, Hilton recently reported that Jack Nicholson was pursuing Simpson. He’s also tied her (wrongly) to Taylor Kitsch. And to Gerard Butler.

So maybe it’s the blogger who should “catch on” and realize he has no idea what he’s talking about with Simpson.

Maybe Simpson had Johnson come with her to Italy… because she likes him. As a source close to Simpson tells Gossip Cop, she’s a “savvy woman and knows who to trust and who not to, and so far Eric’s been a good guy.”

As usual, Star and Hilton have plopped themselves far from logic in order to brew scandal.

What a team!

I really like Gossip Cop! tehee!

In addition to his stories being old and inaccurate, what’s really striking about Perez Hilton is his ability to get so much wrong with so few words.

Today, in a 75-word item about Jessica Simpson and Jeremy Renner, Perez claims that after their “fling,” Simpson “went over to see him and the visit ended up being pretty ‘awkward’ considering he had already moved on with another woman!”

Uh, Gossip Cop debunked that story a couple of days ago when a source close to Simpson assured us that alleged incident “never happened.”

But wait, it gets worse.

Perez then snipes that Simpson has moved on “with Eric Johnson — even if he is using her for the ca$$$h!”

Uh, we busted that rumor earlier today after a Simpson insider told us the “user” claims were false, and the actress/singer is a “savvy woman and knows who to trust and who not to, and so far Eric’s been a good guy.”

Number of words in Perez’s story: 75

Number of errors: 2

Numbers of laughs at his expense: Endless

Apparently, Us Weekly isn’t happy that Jessica Simpson seems to be in a nice relationship with beau Eric Johnson, so the mag is revisiting a so-called “dalliance” with Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner to stir up drama.

The pair’s supposed fling “ended pretty ugly,” claims Us Weekly. When Simpson “showed up at [Renner's] house one day,” according to a “source,” she came “face to face with another woman the actor was seeing.”

“It was awkward!” says the tab’s “insider,” flashing talent for stating the obvious.

And it probably would have been “awkward”… had it ever occurred.

A source close to Simpson says she “never showed up at [Renner's] house uninvited” and that the supposed incident with a mystery woman “never happened.”

Remember OK! magazine’s bizarre, completely baseless cover story this week claiming Jessica Simpson was about to become a mom? Well, the outlet is doubling down on its laughable “reporting.”

Today it suggests that an Italian jaunt with new boyfriend Eric Johnson offers new evidence Simpson might be expecting. Photographers caught the couple strolling in Capri, and Simpson’s “loose-fitting and roomy” outfit is “causing tongues to wag.”

This time, OK! can’t even muster the strength to comment specifically on Simpson’s appearance, instead speculating that her flowing caftan is “perhaps perfect for hiding a baby bump.”

To recap: in the span of two days, OK! has gone from announcing on its cover that Jessica Simpson’s baby is “confirmed” to observing lamely that she wore a loose dress.

It is true that pregnant women favor loose clothing.

It’s also true that stores will sell it to women who aren’t pregnant.

A rep for Simpson calls pregnancy talk “absurd.” Gossip Cop, meanwhile, will sadly leave our flowing gowns in the closet for the rest of the summer, for fear of “causing tongues to wag.”

It’s been an eventful week for Jessica Simpson’s personal life: a new athlete boyfriend and a rumored baby.

But what about her professional life?

According to a Showbiz Spy story, which spread like lice in a summer camp, Simpson “wants Katy Perry to help her reboot her pop career.”

A so-called “source close to Simpson” tells the site, “She’s hoping [Perry] might be able to work with her in some way and maybe even perform with her.”

Gossip Cop looked into whether the Southern sweetheart was going to collaborate with the “California Gurl” singer, and was simply told by Simpson’s rep, “No.”

Safe to also say Simpson and Perry won’t be collaborating with… Showbiz Spy.

OK! has gone baby crazy.

The same publication that once claimed Tom Cruise was set to pay Katie Holmes $75 million for a second child and (wrongly) insisted… and insisted … and insisted that Jennifer Aniston was set to become a mom is back with more baby blather.

According to OK!’s cover, a baby for Jessica Simpson has been “confirmed.” “Finally, A Baby For Jess” screams both the cover and the story’s headline. So what makes the tabloid’s crack team of obstetricians — consistently wrong in the past — convinced that Simpson is expecting?

The actress showed off a “fuller-figured look” at a “July 4″ Greenbrier Casino Club gala, observes the magazine, which can’t even get the event’s date right (it was July 2).

OK! cites a doctor (who hasn’t treated Simpson) as saying that her tummy and facial features are typical of a woman “in her 10th to 12th week of pregnancy.” Just in case that airtight argument falls through, OK! also points out that Simpson has a new boyfriend, Eric Johnson, whom a “source” calls “husband and father material.”

Plus, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz told Redbook last October that her big sister wants a baby.

Still unconvinced?

She’s working out and dieting regularly (which, as everyone knows, never happens unless the goal is pregnancy) and has “thrown herself into expanding her booming fashion empire” (which, as everyone knows, is what women do during the first trimester).

OK! explains that Simpson is doing more design work because it allows her to stay home. Apparently, it never occurs to the magazine that she just likes designing. Of course, it also never occurs to OK! that someone might actually check to see whether Simpson is expecting a baby.

Gossip Cop did — and she’s not. A rep for Simpson tells us the story is “absurd and not true at all.” The only thing OK!’s cover “confirmed” is the tab’s laughable track record.

“According to sources, Jack Nicholson has asked Jessica Simpson on a date!!” reads the lead of another poorly reported post by Perez Hilton.

Hilton claims Nicholson recently invited Simpson to have dinner at his home, but she declined and wondered, “How Jack got my number as we’ve never met.”

The bad blogger then editorializes, “We all know he likes the young ladies, but come on, this is getting ridiculous!”

Actually the phrase, “come on, this is getting ridiculous” could just as easily apply to Hilton and his reporting of this story.

Gossip Cop checked out this tale, and a source close to Simpson assured us it’s “not true at all.” Nicholson never invited her to his house for dinner.

The source added that Simpson laughed over Hilton’s completely fabricated story, which she thought was “hysterical.”

The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner is squashing a report that he recently made the moves on singer Jessica Simpson.

People.com reported that at a recent cocktail party for his movie at the L.A. home of Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary, Renner, 39, “spent the night hitting on Jessica like crazy. They were really flirting up a storm.”

But Renner – who brought his mom to the Oscars Sunday – told UsMagazine.com Sunday at the Governor’s Ball that he only met Simpson, 29, for “three minutes.”

“Her hair stylist [Ken Paves] did my mom’s hair so we were talking about that — and then all of a sudden we’re dating!” he told Us.

Asked if he’s seeing anyone, he told Us, “I’m single — and looking!”

But that doesn’t mean he’s a Hollywood player.

“I’m not a ladies man!” Renner told Us. “I’m a working man! That’s all.”

• Was there a love connection? Jessica Simpson, chatting with The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner during a cocktail party for his movie at the L.A. home of Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary. Simpson, who lives next door, arrived with hairdresser Ken Paves. But she spent most of her time with the Oscar nominee. “Jeremy spent the night hitting on Jessica like crazy,” the source says. “They were really flirting up a storm.” Paves encouraged the two and, the source says, “Jessica loved it!” When the party was over, the two exchanged numbers, entering them into their phones.

If you are drinking anything right now, swallow it before you read this item about Star magazine’s latest scoop on Jessica Simpson.

In a piece titled, “Jessica’s New Guy,” the Star claims Simpson’s “new guy” is actor Evan Hart, and that on February 19 the two were at the Hollywood hotspot Janes House, where one of the tabloid’s sources claimed they were “totally flirting.”

In addition to stating, “At one point, Evan had his arm around Jessica and then leaned over and kissed her,” the source noted, “Jessica and her date seemed to know each other pretty well.”

Yes, they do know each other pretty well.

[Put your drink down now unless you want to do a spit-take.]

When we reached out to a source close to Simpson, our insider was actually with the actress and Hart — and his fiance! Hart is engaged to Simpson’s makeup artist and friend Jeannia Robinette.

And by the way, it wasn’t just Gossip Cop who laughed uncontrollably when busting this bad dish. Simpson, Hart and Robinette, we’re told, were “all cracking up.”
