Jessica Simpson, Eric Johnson Closer as Ken Paves Distances Himself

It was recently determined that singer and celebrity fashion trend setter Jessica Simpson was no longer hanging out with once-BFF and hair stylist Ken Paves, with whom she designed a collection of hair pieces. When asked about the situation at an Operation Smile event in LA, Paves was vague, but indicated that he is no longer taking care of Simpson's locks. The only comment he would make concerning his long-term friendship with Jessica was “We're both busy and busy is good."

Meanwhile, Simpson's romantic relationship with pro football player Eric Johnson is freer to go forward now that Johnson's divorce has been finalized. He and now ex-wife Keri had been married for five years.
