Billy Corgan may have admitted his love for Jessica Simpson to Rolling Stone, but it seems he’s also dishing to the magazine his distaste for John Mayer after Mayer’s controversial remarks about Simpson in Playboy magazine.

“He’s trying to destroy his career,” Corgan told Rolling Stone. “Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction … some part of it is irritating his soul to the point where he’s trying to blow it up.”

Corgan further said of his fellow musician, “Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, standing on the sidelines, it’s hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground. Speaking as somebody who’s done it.”

In the same interview, the Smashing Pumpkins founder revealed that he’s got feelings for Simpson. The two recently collaborated on the theme song for Simpson’s new VH1 reality show, “The Price of Beauty.”

“If I go, ‘Oh, we’re just friends,’ then it’s like, ‘Did they go out, did he dump her or she dump him, what happened?’ It has nothing to do with any of that. Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that,” he told the magazine about the nature of his relationship with Simpson. “My goal in life is to love whoever I think is worth loving, and I think if people knew her like I knew her, they would love her like I do. It’s really simple.”

Simpson seems to be taking this all in stride. She laughed off Mayer’s comments when she appeared on “Late Night With David Letterman on Wednesday night.

According to several online reports, Jessica Simpson and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo have split up. Sources said the split happened on Thursday, a day before Simpson’s 29th birthday.

“She is heartbroken,” a source told People.com. “She loves Tony. But it’s been difficult lately. He’s busy with his career and she’s getting ready to shoot her show . They decided to part ways.”

When asked for confirmation by reporters, a rep for Simpson would neither confirm nor deny the reports, saying, “We don’t comment on our clients’ personal lives.”

People.com also reported that on Simpson’s birthday, Romo was seen partying at Los Angeles nightclub My House. “He had quite a few girls stop by his dance floor table,” another source told the site. “Romo was sipping Grey Goose and having a fun time with the boys.”

UsMagazine.com also reported that the couple have split, citing a source as saying, “It’s been a long time coming.” An additional source told the site that the couple could reunite at any time. “They go from one fight right into another, without a second’s break. It’s always something with Jessica.”

The first source added that Simpson canceled her birthday party because of the split, but is doing “OK.”

In the wake of the split, Simpson has been hitting up her Twitter account, relaying news that she canceled her birthday party but revealing little else that would seem to suggest a split. “Barbie party didn’t happen, but I turned 29 and feel like I am on top of the world yelling I love getting older.”

She later tweeted, “The beat of a heart can make you realize the special rhythm of a person … just listen. I like the irregular beat; it send me to another place … Everyone needs to know that hope floats … grab the strings and pull it back to you.”

The singer, 29, and Romo began dating in November 2007.
