Back in January, Jessica Simpson and Billy Corgan were seen hanging out together. Soon their friends were dishing that the pair was dating. It kind of left us feeling a little confused. For instance, how did that pop star turned country singer even meet the morose former Smashing Pumpkins frontman?
After laying low for a few weeks (so low that we almost forgot about the wacky pairing) comes news that Jessica and Billy are working in the studio together. And this isn't news from friends of sources, but instead from Jessica's Twitter, where she shares such gems as "Happy Birthday Jimmy Page!! You have always been one of my favorites" and "Dear elderly man at the gym: its hard 4 me 2 keep composure whilst punching at chipmunk speed when ur ball sack spills out of ur wind shorts."
But our favorite tweet appeared just the other day, when she tweeted a photo of herself and Corgan in the studio working on music that has since been removed. She has apparently been in the studio with him and producer Kerry Brown (who is working on Corgan's ongoing opus Teargarden by Kaleidyscope).
What will this song sound like? Will it be some weird cross between "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" and "I Wanna Love You Forever"? Is Jessica providing backing vocals for a Teargarden track or does Simpson want her next album to sound less like country and more like Zeitgeist? Only time will tell, but until then, this remains our favorite left-field musical tag-team of 2010.
