John Mayer and Jessica Simpson rang in 07 full-on making out at the Hudson Hotel party thrown by Christina Aguilera. It was the first public acknowledgment of a relationship they have been denying since August.
He was scratching her back, they were kissing, it wasnt subtle, says a spy at the Heineken-sponsored bash. The couple dined earlier in the evening at Country, after shopping at Barneys during the day.
A source tells us they are staying together at The Mercer hotel in SoHo.
An insider says: John has been thrilled that they have been tricking the media, but she doesnt really care. His Christmas present to her was a framed copy of the Us Weekly cover that says Dumped: John ditches Jessica.
By the way, John, you might want to have a word with your posse: That party guest your friend asked about buying drugs was a Daily News reporter.
Meanwhile, Jessicas botched tribute to Dolly Parton is going to cost more than just having her performance cut from the Kennedy Center Honors broadcast. Now the Center is refusing to reimburse her manager dad, Joe Simpson, around $15,000 in hair, makeup and stylist fees.
She was cut from the show, and they dont want to pay for a dress that didnt fit, said a source.
Joe Simpson initially explained that his daughter messed up Partons classic Nine to Five because she was distracted by trying to prevent a wardrobe malfunction in her strapless gown.
The insider estimates the day rate of hairstylist Ken Paves at $6,000, makeup artist Mary Phillips at $4,000, and fashion stylist Jessica Pastor at around $4,000 to $5,000.
Joes furious and has started a huge fight with the Kennedy Center over it, says the snitch.
While the Kennedy Center did not return calls, a rep for Simpson says succinctly: No truth to it.-ny daily news
