Another Affair to share.

Jessica Simpson, tired of being all that’s left of Nick Lachey, has announced the first single from her new album will be called A Public Affair, says www.mtv.com. And while many (all) may automatically assume that the title refers to her impending divorce, Jess’s label claims that’s not at all the case.

"That was a statement she wanted to make," Epic Records President Charlie Walk said during a listening session for Jessica’s album. "Everything she does is a public affair ... [but] this is about having fun."

And what could possibly be more fun then pairing very un-Jessica like lyrics ("All the girls are stepping out for a public affair/ All night, let's rock 'cause the party don't stop/ You know the cameras come out for a public affair") with a roller-disco themed video? Inexplicably, X-Men: The Last Stand director Brett Ratner will helm that production at the end of this month, giving it plenty of time to skate to the top of the charts before her album is released on August 29. Can I get a hand clap?
