JESSICA Simpson (above) and Tony Romo are still on, despite recent tabloid reports that the Dallas Cowboys quarterback may have strayed. On Saturday, the couple spent a cozy evening together at the Great Dane Pub in Madison, Wis., following Simpson’s gig opening for Rascal Flatts. Security guards prevented onlookers from snapping photos, but a witness tells Page Six the two looked “very much together.” Simpson didn’t seem too concerned about her weight – our spy also reports she was drinking “lots of beer.”

Looks like Jessica Simpson needs to nurse Tony Romo back to health!

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback collapsed in the shower following a 44 to 6 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, according to ESPN.com.

Team sources told the sports Web site that medical staff brought in a stretcher, but Romo walked out on his own. He still participated in a news conference shortly after, but had to be helped to the podium.

ESPN reports that Romo may have suffered a rib injury in the second half of the game — the Cowboys’ biggest loss ever — but Romo refused to answer questions about his health.

Looks like Jessica Simpson has a pet name for beau Tony Romo: Cowboy.

At Thursday night’s KJ.97 Randy Carroll’s Christmas Bash in San Antonio, Texas, Simpson, 27, sang three songs and repeatedly referred to “my cowboy.”

(It’s not a huge stretch: He’s the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.)

Before belting out her tune, “Come on Over,” Simpson chatted with country singer Billy Carrington about her love life on stage.

“So, I see you really like doing the guitar playing thing, the hair, the cargo pants you’re wearing – everything I used to date,” she said. “But aren’t you a cowboy, too?”

Switching gears to talk about Romo, whom she never mentioned by name, Simpson said: “You know, I’ve got a cowboy, only my cowboy is a little bit different. I wrote this song for my cowboy – it’s called ‘Come On Over.’ I can’t help it. I want him all the time.”

(Simpson also wrote “Back in My Old Boots” for Romo.)

She also caught a little flack on behalf of Romo.

“Jessica, I hope your boyfriend throws a lot of touchdowns this weekend, cause we’re getting frustrated right now,” singer John Rich told her.

The pop singer turned country crooner dishes about the heat between her and Tony Romo to Cosmopolitan: “[Tony and I] are definitely compatible in all areas.” And marriage is still on her mind. “Any person who I’m gonna date for longer than six months, I definitely am investing in something long-term,” she said about her boyfriend of two years. “If I get married again, then it will be the last time.”

Jessica Simpson performed for thousands of fans at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas Friday night, but made sure one man in the crowd, her boyfriend Tony Romo, was the center of attention.

“Wow, I love Dallas,” the singer told the crowd at the city’s Fair Park, just east of downtown. “Obviously, I love Dallas because I grew up here and this is my home – you guys are my family – but I did find an amazing boyfriend here in Dallas!”

Cheers erupted for the Cowboys quarterback, who smiled, looking on from the sound area. Although some fans were clearly more interested in watching him watch Simpson perform – their backs were to the stage the entire time – Romo didn’t seem to mind the attention. He grinned as Simpson, 28, called him “the calm of the storm in my life” and said, “Whatever I go through, I know I can depend on him to relax and bring me faith again.”

Before singing “My Sunday,” she added, “This is a song I wrote about a certain someone who throws that football really good.” Simpson giggled and Romo, 28, beamed.

Nursing a broken pinky and chatting with Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, Romo bobbed his head with the music and was caught singing along to a few songs. When Simpson hit a powerful note during “Do You Know,” he clapped in awe.

The admiration was mutual. “Sometimes, to find a love as big as that, you have to go through some heartbreak, some ugly ones and some butthead ones,” Simpson told the crowd. “You go through that to really appreciate where you are in life right now.”

Speaking of “buttheads,” she said she wrote the song “Still Don’t Stop Me” about an ex. “For some reason, I kept letting some guy come into my life. I couldn’t understand it until I wrote this song and was like, ‘Jessica, you need to wake up.’”

Midway through the show, Simpson left the stage as her band was introduced. Romo, protected by police, was also escorted backstage. He returned to the sound booth when she took the stage again.
