Tiger
Woods poses for photos with singer Jessica Simpson - right next to her
then-boyfriend, Cowboys QB Tony Romo - during a golf tournament in July.
Jessica Simpson turned to Twitter on Wednesday to slam reports that she flirted with the philandering golf phenom last summer.
"Can't believe that I'm on the cover of star [sic] magazine with Tiger Woods, what a JOKE!" she tweeted. "'The Shocking Inside Story' is (insert drumroll) A LIE!"
Star magazine’s cover story claims the "Irresistible" singer swapped emails and phone numbers – and maybe more – with the cad after hitting it off with him at the AT&T National Pro-Am golf tournament in Bethesda, Md., last July.
Although she was partnered with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo at the time, spies told the mag there was trouble in paradise.
"Tiger liked what he saw and let her know it," a source told Star, who claims Simpson had been fighting with her beau. Romo dropped her later that month.
"Jessica said that she felt like Tony wasn’t paying attention to her, so she was like, ‘What the heck!’" said the snitch. "She decided to have fun with Tiger whether it bothered Tony or not."
Still, a source close to Simpson insists the new rumors are all rubbish.
"No part of this story is true," the insider told Usmagazine.com. "They met quickly and took a photo together. She was only there for a few hours to sing the national anthem."
