Just flown in last night from the west coast, Jessica Simpson was all about business while out in New York City on Friday (October 24).

Getting an early start to the day, the “Do You Know” singer toted her leopard-skin handbag as she made her way to a Baron Funds private event, proceeding to attend to further work-related matters afterwards.

As for the presumed feud between Simpson and Carrie Underwood (an ex of Tony Romo’s), Underwood recently called it all fiction.

She told press, “I met her once and she seemed really nice so I don’t have a feud with anybody. I think it’s great that country music just seems to be opening their arms to people that want to be a part of it. They let me in when they didn’t have to and they’re doing the same thing for a lot of other people.”

Jessica Simpson's engagement denial

Posted by samuel

Jessica Simpson has denied she is getting engaged to American football star Tony Romo.

The 'Come on Over' singer dismissed claims she had been shopping for a ring with Tony after performing at a NASCAR pre-race concert in North Carolina on Saturday (11.10.08).

Jessica said: "Tony and I have not gone to [fashion store] Neiman Marcus - somebody said we bought a ring there. I couldn't drag Tony in to Neiman Marcus if I tried."

However, the 'Dukes of Hazzard' actress revealed the couple's romance is blossoming, describing herself as: "Beyond the moon and stars. I'm very happy."

Jessica, who re-launched herself as a country music singer earlier this year, had a lesson in changing race car tyres in the pit lane at the Bank of America 500 race.

Jessica also talked about her musical switch from pop to country, saying: "Country music is where my heart is. It's been a shock to the media and the outside world but, to my friends, family and loved ones, it's somewhere I've always been.

"I'm not setting out to prove anything, I'm just trying to be me. Also, I feel I've been through a lot and I have a lot to say about it."
