According to BANG Showbiz, Jessica Simpson has been dumped by new boyfriend John Mayer, after just one week.

Friends of Mayer have said he felt she was using him to get attention.

News that Jessica and Mayer were an item broke last week when the couple were both suffering from laryngitis at the same time.

A friend of Simpson was even quoted by People magazine as saying they were “in love”.

Jessica is trying to promote her new album ‘A Public Affair’ in the in the aftermath of her very public divorce from ‘Newlyweds’ co-star Nick Lachey.

Lachey is dating MTV host Vanessa Minnillo.

Jeanette’s Note: I also saw Jessica on The View and she stated that she and John Mayer were in fact NOT DATING as People Magazine had reported. Blah blah blah blah blah.
