Jessica Simpson & Billy Corgan: Friends say, "I think he can do a lot better.”

Jessica Simpson has always seemed a bit misguided when it comes to love.

So when she was spotted walking out of The Ritz-Carlton in New York on December 4 with 42-year-old Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan, the world responded with a bemused “WTF?”

His ex-girlfriend, reality star Tila Tequila, agrees they make an odd couple.

“I think Jessica Simpson is a waste of space,” Tila says. “She can’t even put two and two together. She doesn’t show any female empowerment. She gets screwed over by her ex-boyfriends because she’s all clingy. She should stop being so weak and stand up for herself. If Billy is happy with Jessica, then I’m happy for him — but I think he can do a lot better.”

Tila believes he may be using Jessica to promote his new Smashing Pumpkins album. Says the pal, “He is dying for the attention, and that’s probably why he’s hanging out with her.”

No shit.... loll
