Is Jessica Simpson the New Jennifer Aniston?

There are those of us out there who just can’t get over Brad Pitt leaving Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie. We pull for Jen every time she dates a new man, and we feel heartbreak when relationship after relationship doesn’t work out.

Now, when Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey split, most people were on Nick’s side. Nick did a great job of playing the abused party in that separation, and that image stuck. Jessica was the bad guy, and we felt no sympathy for her.

That all changed the day before Jessica’s birthday party when the news came out that she had been unceremoniously dumped by Tony Romo. Public outcry turned to Jessica’s favor. (I mean, really, the day before her big birthday party?) Speculation ran rampant that maybe Jessica and Nick would get back together. (Nick’s brother Drew says that’s not happening.)

Why do we care so much? Why do we feel the need to take sides? And why can’t we just let Jen and Jess conduct their love lives at their own speed and in their own manner?
