Jessica Simpson is dating Billy Corgan.

The 29-year-old singer-and-actress is said to have "fallen hard and is smitten" with the 42-year-old Smashing Pumpkins singer since they started "officially dating" some months ago - much to the disapproval of her friends.

A source told E!: "They think he's too old for her. No one takes any of her boyfriends seriously anymore because she has had so many. They're sick of all of them being 'The One'."

The pair were first romantically linked in November when they met at a party in Los Angeles.

A source said: "She has completely fallen for Billy and his easygoing, smart attitude. She says she wants to take things a lot further.

"She had secretly been crushing on him for months and felt there was a connection at the party.

"As the night went on things got more intense and they talked with their faces just inches apart."

In September, Simpson revealed her admiration for Billy.

She wrote on her twitter page: "My friend, Billy Corgan, has a pure and enlightening outlook on faith. Go to his new website!"

This isn't shocking to me - the more shocking bit is I can't believe he is 42 years old!

I guess if they float each others boat - good on them

@ben #12: Generally, yes, but most of them still don't feel the need to publish a book of terrible, terrible poetry.

H #18 don't most front men have inflated ego's?

At work#5...I guess you care for opening up the story and having time to post a comment.

Thank you Stuff for not inserting the word "former" in front of Smashing Pumpkins singer! Unlike those waste of space idiots at TMZ.com who don't check the facts first before posting lame rumours. It's amazing how many gossip websites out there post this story and it's not even confirmed if they are dating. If they are dating... good on em it's their business, rock on Billy! His very cool spiritual website by the way if you didn't know is www.everythingfromheretothere.com/ check it out!

@Vegas#13: Like most people, I don't take advice on who is or isn't a genius from someone who can't spell the word genius (or, for that matter, use punctuation). I can certainly agree that he's more intelligent than Jessica Simpson, but then so is your average pot of yoghurt.

At any rate, Billy Corgan is a gifted musician with an inflated sense of his own importance who has, to date, released one good album, one great album, one patchy but mostly OK double album and about 5 albums worth of dross in various guises. Einstein, Da Vinci, Shakespeare - all geniuses. Billy Corgan, not so much.

hahaha maybe billy snorted some of D'arcy's stash! Maybe he can keep the relationship strictly out of there muscial professions, cose it would be nausiating for him to contemplate a colaboration.
