While Jessica Simpson curls up to sleep with her mom and dogs, pitifully twittering about it, her recent ex Tony Romo is hitting up all the paparazzi hotspots and partying up a storm. The guy isn’t wasting any time getting back into the scene and he’s not sticking to the local watering holes to avoid publicity. People Magazine mentions that Tony Romo was out at “Hollywood hotspot MyHouse on Friday – the night he was supposed to be at Simpson’s 29th Barbie-and-Ken-themed birthday bash.” Was it that now-canceled Barbie and Ken themed birthday party that sent Romo running for the hills? Did Jessica doom her relationship with a childish party, or was Romo just ready to head for the door anyway? It does seem more than coincidental that he broke it off before the party could happen. Now he’s enjoying the single life:

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback, 29, was spotted out at Hollywood hotspot MyHouse on Friday – the night he was supposed to be at Simpson’s 29th Barbie-and-Ken-themed birthday bash – for “a typical guys night out,” says one onlooker. “Tony’s table was packed with people. He was talking to several girls throughout the night.”

According to a source, his friends decided to take their recently single pal out to “lift his spirits. His friends wanted him to have some fun before football training camp starts.”

Done and done: Romo recovered from his late night Friday romp by lounging poolside with his pals at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood on Saturday afternoon. “The guys were mellow, had a few beers and Tony seemed fine,” says a witness. “There were no girls around. It seemed more like a relaxed boys weekend.”

By Monday the guys were recharged ready for more, hitting up West Hollywood’s Key Club – ironically the same place where Romo serenaded Simpson for her birthday last year. “The night was non-eventful,” says manager Mark “Skip” Bucculoa. “Tony stayed low-key. He just rolled in with a group of guys.”

Tuesday Romo was spotted rolling solo to L.A. shop Affliction, picking up some T-shirts and board-shorts. He reportedly shot a Pepsi commercial that morning and is expected in Tahoe for the Celebrity Golf Week July 14 through 19. No word on when the real Pepsi ad will air, but on FunnyOrDie.com a new Romo spoof popped up, highlighting the athlete’s comedic chops.

Regardless, Romo better take advantage of the free time while he can: The NFL star is set to start pre-season training on July 29.

I feel sorry for Jessica, and it seems like Romo just wasn’t ready for the commitment that she so clearly wanted. He stuck around and spoke well of her to the press when called for, but he just wasn’t in it for the long haul and couldn’t offer an engagement or marriage.

Our friends at The Frisky have penned “An Open Letter To Jessica Simpson And Other Women Who Can’t Go Three Months Without A Boyfriend.” Writer Wendy tells Simpson to go on vacation with some friends and then spend at least six months enjoying single life:

I’d like to see you go at least six months without dating anyone. I’m talking not so much as a Friday night wings and beer double-date with a Ashlee and Pete until 2010. Resist the urge to call, text, email or IM any potential love interest, and definitely avoid any ex. Clear your psychic and personal space of relics from relationships past. Quit watching “The Newlyweds” on DVD, or old Cowboys games on cable sports, or that YouTube video of John playing “Human Nature” at Michael Jackson’s memorial last week. It’s not healthy, Jess. It’s not good for you. Have Ken wash those men right out of your hair! For good!

Once you’ve gone six months without a date, you’ve exorcised your relationship demons, and you’ve cleaned your dating palette, you can start to tread ever so slowly into the shallow end of the dating pool again. Dip a toe in with a quick coffee date, maybe a little flirty texting, and make sure to take your sweet, sweet time before diving in fully and getting your hair all wet. If you follow these rules, Jess, and you truly give the single life a a real go, you might find you like it. As both a formerly happy single woman and a formerly emotionally tortured girlfriend who pines for the boys who dump her, I can say with utmost confidence, the former is definitely preferable. And the latter? Well, it’s just a little pathetic.

I don’t know if I buy that you should deliberately go dateless for a while after a relationship ends. Single – yes, but dateless – no. I think you should play the field with a few different guys and enjoy life, not getting particularly attached to anyone. That’s the advice John Gray gives in those much-derided Mars and Venus books. He claims that women tend to hibernate after a relationship ends and men go out and start dating right away, but that we should go against our natural instincts and get out there while it’s the men who should wait to get involved. For women like Jessica it can be kind of hard not to get attached right away, though, and maybe it’s best if she just takes her time and doesn’t try to fit another guy into her life right away. At least she can console herself that there are plenty of men who are willing to take Romo’s place. She should more carefully screen them though, and not go running back to a doucebag ex like Mayer.

Oh – and there’s a new Funny or Die video with Romo in which he’s endorsing a bunch of ridiculous products. Some might assume it’s a slap in the face to Jessica, because toward the end he talks about Eminem and endorsing Em’s label “Interscope Records.” He says they asked him “‘Do you mind if Eminem throws you and your girlfriend under a bus,'” and he responded “No, go ahead. Anything for an endorsement opportunity.”

Romo probably recorded that video before he broke up with Simpson, though. The Funny or Die people sent out an e-mail saying “We shot a video with Tony Romo which we hadn’t planned on releasing just yet but with all the news around his break up with Jessica we thought it would be a good time to get it out.”

Jessica really needs to record a spoof with Funny or Die making fun of her TMI too-clingy approach to relationships. Now that would signify that she’s over it.
