Jessica Simpson JSIMPSONTROMO120107_01.jpg Looks like the Dallas Cowboys will have one less distraction during their big playoff showdown with the New York Giants this weekend - Jessica Simpson won't be there!

Jess' rep confirmed to Us that Jess won't be attending the game, electing instead to continue "working on her new album."

The pop starlet became the center of a national controversy when her appearance allegedly prompted her boyfriend, Cowboys QB Tony Romo, to play the worst game of his life against the Eagles in December.

Of course, fans' criticisms haven't affected the blossoming romance between Romo and Simpson - the couple spent last weekend vacationing together (with Jessica's parents and a few of Tony's fellow Cowboys) in Cabo San Lucas!
