Jessica Simpson will have a hard time denying reports that she's fallen for singer John Mayer, especially after the two were caught in a "full-on making out" session as they rang in 2007.

The couple has been denying that they are an item since August 2006 when reports first started circulating that the two were seeing each other.

However a source at the Hudson Hotel party thrown by Christina Aguilera said that the Mayer and Simpson didn't leave any guests in doubt that they were a couple.

"He was scratching her back, they were kissing, it wasn't subtle," the New York Daily News quoted the source, as saying.

International pop diva superstar Christina Aguilera took the stage late Sunday night right before the ball dropped, and dropped a a bomb of her own — her new single.

 "Candyman" is the third single from her platinum double-disc album Back to Basics and is bound to explode once it hits radio early this year, and fans have high hopes for the video.

Aguilera, known for being as articulate a visual artist as she is a vocalist and musician, has promised great things for the video - already stating in her Fall 2006 Advocate interview that inspiration would be taken from artist Alberto Vargas.

According NW Magazine, Jessica just can't let go of her ex Nick Lackey, as she continues to shop for her self-confessed "horrible" dresser ex-husband.
