Was Jessica Simpson ever unfaithful to husband Nick Lachey? The rumors are there, and tabloid magazine 'The Star" goes to the trouble of giving an unofficial rundown. Player by player.

JESS RUMORS CONTINUE

It's quite dramatic, and begins on September 4, 2004.

"Dim lighting, a plush booth in the back and a tipsy Jessica Simpson downing vodka tonics as she cozies up to a hunky, dark-haired crooner… at the celebrity-friendly Whiskey Bar at L.A.'s Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas," the tabloidstory begins.

Continuing:

Jessica was caught canoodling with Maroon 5's Adam Levine! "It was obvious that Jessica and Adam were very attracted to each other," an eyewitness who partied with the pair that night tells Star. "They were cuddled right up against each other, side by side, giggling and whispering romantically into each other's ears. Jessica was putting her hand on Adam's leg from time to time."

Oh - my.

***

The tabloid notes that she's been linked in reports to her Dukes of Hazzard co-star Johnny Knoxville, (denied, denied and denied) as well as his bad-boy Jackass buddy and skateboard star Bam Margera.

But Jessica's latest boytoy may be Trace Ayala, 25, Justin Timberlake's business partner in the William Rast clothing line, who she's been spotted cozying up to in L.A. since mid-November.

A rep for Team Simpson insists that Ayala, who recently split with fiancée and 24 actress Elisha Cuthbert, 23, is close friends with Jess' best friend and assistant CaCee Cobb.

So - did she cheat? Who knows - the tab gives no concrete evidence.

But this is where the whole split will get tricky.

Both Jessica and Nick are young, beautiful and rich. I see dating in their future. The way each handles that part may be the real key as to how nasty or how easy this whole divorce proceeds.
