Jessica Simpson opened up about her dad during a radio interview in Colton, CA at K-Frog 95.1 on Tuesday.

“There have been stories that are ridiculous,” Simpson who is promoting her new country album said. “Like my father really fit me for a training bra. Like, who believes that kind of thing!?”

The singer was on the show to promote her new country album. (Watch the interview above.)

“I really just wanted to showcase the talent that God has given me and I don’t believe that in pop music I ever had the chance to stand on two feet and stand firm,” Simpson said.

And though “Come on Over” is receiving positive feedback, Simpson revealed, “My greatest fear is failure… failing or disappointing my fans from the pop world.”

As for her Dallas Cowboys football player beau Tony Romo, when asked about whether or not she will be wearing a blue jersey to his games (read about the Jessica Simpson jinx here) the singer laughed, “No more pink ones!”

Simpson also touched on the emotional repercussions of her divorce from Nick Lachey.

“With Newlyweds people really got in on my life and got to see my personality on a weekly basis,” she said. “Then after going through the divorce and what not it made me shut down for a while, but now I”m back and really confident.”

Tell Us: Does Jessica seem confident?

In the wake of Us Weekly’s cover story that Jessica Simpson’s controlling father was the main source behind her May split from Tony Romo, Joe Simpson tells “Extra” he’s not the controlling father he’s made out to be.

“The media says that I try to plan everything - If I had half of the power they give me…They [Ashlee and Jessica] don’t call me and ask me. They call me and tell me.”

He adds that Jessica “… is as happy as I’ve seen her in years.” and gushes about the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, “He’s a great guy. I love Tony to death….He’s just a good kid….”

Us reports in the current issue that Joe asked Romo, 28, to let him help represent him. As tension grew, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback gave Jessica an ultimatum: Tell dad to back off!

Joe tells “Extra” that the public has many misconceptions about him as his daughters’ manager. “For all those people thinking I’m sipping Piña Coladas on the beach and enjoying millions of dollars and having this great life – Bull..I work seven days a week, 24/7.”

Simpson, who officiated daughter Ashlee’s wedding to Pete Wentz, says, “I love Pete to death…He has a patient spirit and a kind heart…I’m honored to have Pete as my son-in-law.”

Although Simpson tells “Extra” that the sex of Ashlee’s baby, which will be his first grandchild is unknown, “I would love to have a boy, but I know how to raise girls so I’m good with that.”

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and singer Justin Timberlake may not be qualified to play in the U.S. Open, but both proved they could break 100 Friday on Torrey Pines’ South Course.

The pair joined “Today” host Matt Lauer and a regular guy from Omaha, Neb., in a foursome bent on disproving Tiger Woods’ theory that it takes a pro to beat the course.

Romo, who missed qualifying for the U.S. Open this spring, won with a 13-over 84. The beefy quarterback, who boasts a 2.2 handicap index, barely broke a sweat playing the first nine holes in 5-over 40 but slowed as the six-hour round wore on.

“It got really tough to stay sharp,” he said, nodding toward the 18th hole, where he had his only double bogey after hitting into a bunker.

Timberlake, suffering from allergies, seconded Romo, although his game improved over the last four holes with two pars and two bogeys as he went into “Michael Jordan mode.” A 6.0 handicap index, he parred the 18th to finish at 27-over 98.

“It’s just inhuman, how well they strike it,” he said, referring to Woods and his ilk.

Timberlake, outfitted in a dashing black trilby hat and tuxedo-stripe pants, started hamming it up with the gallery once his taut dancer’s swing started to go south, blowing on the ball as it rimmed the seventh hole without any luck and asking the crowd to approve his drop into the rough at the edge of the fairway.

He couldn’t blame his troubles on Mother Nature, either, after he skipped off the course after teeing off at the first hole and making a beeline for the men’s room.

“Excuse me! I knew I forgot something,” he called out to laughing spectators in his soft Tennessee drawl.

Lauer scraped by with a 100 on the par-71 course despite playing with a 6.2 handicap index. He came back from an early quad and a series of double bogeys to make a par 5 on the final hole.

“It’s not easy,” he said. “I didn’t think Tiger made an outrageous statement.”

The only one of the four who didn’t seem to mind the scores was John Atkinson, a medical salesman from Omaha, Neb., who was chosen from 56,374 essay applicants to play in the challenge. He finished with a 43-over 114.

“At some point I just didn’t really care,” said Atkinson, who is undergoing treatment for advanced inoperable lung cancer. “I just wanted to enjoy it.”

Atkinson had a 56-person cheering section with him. They shouted “C’mon, Johnny!” when his ball hit the green and gave sympathetic claps and “awws” when he disappeared into the bunkers.

His friend, Dave Leahy, said the crowd joined Atkinson as he trained in Omaha to prepare him for the pressure playing in front of an audience.

“He was out there every Saturday with 50 people pretending to be the gallery and wearing a mike so he’d get used to it,” Leahy said.

He gave his caddy, noted sports psychologist Bob Rotella, a sweet shrug after chasing the ball around the green before making his putt on the fifth hole.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him,” said his wife, Lori. “It doesn’t matter.”

Woods told reporters last year at Oakmont, generally considered the toughest golf course in America, that no 10-handicapper could break 100. With Torrey Pines refurbished into a 7,643-yard “monster”—the longest in U.S. Open history—it served as a suitable stand-in for the challenge, hosted by Golf Digest magazine and NBC.

Torrey Pines, named for the rare gnarled trees that dot the cliffside course, will be the first city-owned golf course to host a U.S. Open starting next Thursday.

Time flies when you’re in love, Jessica Simpson has discovered. Though her relationship with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo only has been cooking since around last Thanksgiving, “It feels like forever,” Simpson, 27, tells Glamour magazine for its June issue. “I love this guy. Can you feel it?”. Crediting Romo, 28, with helping her rediscover her inner strength, “What he’s done for me is irreplaceable,” she says. “He reintroduced me to myself. I thought that I had to be deeper, more profound and more artsy. … Tony taught me that because he loves me [as me]. He made me feel comfortable [being myself] again.

On the topic of her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, she says, “There’s too much competition [with a musician],” while of John Mayer, with whom she was linked on and off for nine months (he recently was spotted in Miami with Jennifer Aniston), she says, “You change with the guys you date. [I thought] I had to be more intellectual.”

She tells of meeting Romo after she heard on TV that he had a crush on her – and she thought he was “really cute.” They eventually flirted over e-mail and the phone, then set up their first date for Nov. 20, when her entire family went to see Romo play.

Their First Kiss
When they finally ended up in the hotel restaurant, “He goes like this across the table,” says Simpson, demonstrating how Romo puckered up. “I go, ‘What are you doing?’ He goes, ‘Nothing,’ and starts pouting. I said, ‘Were you just trying to kiss me in front of all these people?’ He goes, ‘Maybe.’ I’m like, ‘Try it again.’ ”

Looking back, she says, “The fact that this guy, on our first date, in the first 10 minutes of dinner, wanted to lean over the table and say, This is my girl and I want to kiss her – our first kiss in front of everybody – was awesome.”
