Jessica No Dates just Dreams

Her new album arrives Aug. 29. And as part of her publicity push, newly divorced Jessica Simpson set the record (partially) straight with OK! magazine — but questions about her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, were off-limits. Simpson, who turned 26 on Monday, says she and her Employee of the Month co-star Dane Cook are just friends and nothing more.

"Every time I'm frustrated, I'll e-mail him, and he'll e-mail back with a suggestion or an idea. He's a great support, a solid friend and a really good guy," says Simpson, who has been named co-host of Teen Choice 2006, airing 8 p.m. ET/PT Aug. 20 on Fox. And despite tabloid reports about her personal life, she has had "no dates," she says. As for her ideal eye candy? "Brad Pitt in Fight Club; you can't get much better than that. I still dream about his body!"

OK! hits newsstands Wednesday.
