Jessica Simpson and John Mayer Almost Meet...in Another Dimension

Despite what you may have read elsewhere, former flames Jessica Simpson and John Mayer did not experience a near-miss in the lobby of a New York hotel on Tuesday. While singer-actress Simpson didn't land in New York for fashion week until today, musician Mayer is even further off the gossip-beaten path, laying low on vacation in Mexico, according to his blog and official word from his rep. "John has been out of the country since last Friday," she tells Usmagazine.com.

Reports put Simpson and Mayer at the SoHo Grand Hotel (one-time home to a Jess and John tryst) last night, with Simpson's assistant sent to shoo Mayer out of the lobby for her lady's arrival. Being working suckers ourselves, we'd love to give this plucky right-hand-gal credit for sparing her boss from an awkward encounter with her ex, but coordinating John's trip across the border is a bit beyond even the best help.

So...barring a split in the time-space continuum, in which a relaxed Mayer, beer-in-hand, sandy toes and all, was momentarily transported to the Big Apple for an uncomfortable tete a tete with his ex's "people," you can rest assured that this once-mismatched duo can keep on pretending to be "friends" without benefits.

Still, as a heads up to Jess' intrepid assistant, the Simpson crew should stay away from Blacksburg, Virginia, for at least a few days. Mayer's rep tells Us, "Today, after a hurricane-related weather delay, [John's] back to work and traveling...for tomorrow's performance at Virginia Tech."
