Jessica Simpson likes steak more than buffalo wings.
She shared the bill with Rascal Flatts at the Pepsi Center on Saturday night — but on Friday, while the boys jammed at Elway’s, she was chowing down with her band at Morton’s.
She was spotted later Friday night at Pat’s Philly Steaks and Subs in LoDo — where she and her friends had a few drinks.
At the show Saturday, she mentioned her Colorado ties (seems she went to kindergarten in Littleton), how she waited for two hours once with her dad to get John Elway’s autograph, what a big influence Elway is on her BF Tony Romo and how cool it was that she got to meet Elway.
After Saturday’s show, Simpson went with some gal pals and a security guy to Lola, where you can imagine she caused a commotion. Some of the male waitstaff were too nervous to go close to her table.
She had a coupla margaritas; Don Julio is her tequila of choice.
The first question everyone asks is “Was she fat?” Lolitas say no way.
And she shared that her pet name for Romo (and his for her) is “Charlie.” Awwww.
Crashing the party.
The big hubbub at Thursday night’s ICON Awards party was the tumble that fotog Stefan Krusze took from sitting on the escalator bannister to the floor below. He figures it was about 20 feet.
“I was keeping company with Valere Shane and Grayson Walden and not paying any attention,” says Krusze. “It was just a moment of clumsiness.”
People who saw the fall said that it was a shocker. Paramedics took him to the hospital; he was released Saturday. “I’m OK,” says Krusze. “I’m a little battered and bruised, but I should be fine.” Bruises include a broken shoulder. But he hopes to be back at work this weekend.
He’s a hottie.
Go to to vote for Chris Gentile — a finalist in the Hottest Husband Contest.
He’s a 31-year-old wedding photographer and postdoctorate student at CSU in Fort Collins. More importantly, he’s married to Amanda, stepfather to Julia, 7, and father to Ella, 6 months.
Amanda says he’s hot because he’s so nice. “He’ll do anything he can to make my life easier,” she says.
City spirit.
