Mayer & Simpson's Post-Grammy PDA

If John Mayer and Jessica Simpson aren't dating, they sure act like they are. "She's a lovely woman, and I'm glad to be with her," is what he told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet—in Japanese.And later that night, around 9:15 p.m., Mayer was the third celeb to hit Sony's Grammy after-party at the Beverly Hills Hotel.He and a posse of a dozen men made a beeline for one of the four private outdoor cabanas. Mayer immediately sat down, started texting on his phone and made a brief phone call.About a half hour later, Simpson popped in. She and Mayer went deep in conversation, and Simpson made a sweet pouty face.And then it happened. I saw Mayer kiss Simpson tenderly on the cheek. They parted ways, and Simpson chatted with her sister, Ashlee. But a few minutes later, she and Mayer were talking. This time, Mayer was stroking her back.Now, this certainly wasn't the place for one-on-one time. The lovebirds were soon joined by Simpson's dad, Joe, and then American Idol-er Chris Daughtry.Despite all the interruptions, Mayer kept at it, singing Terence Trent D'Arby's "Wishing Well" to Simpson.Let's consider this Mayer and Simpson's coming out, of sorts. It wasn't a red carpet appearance, but they're certainly not hiding their romance. Dozens—and I mean dozens—of people were watching.

Celebrity photographer Kevin Mazur even got them to pose arm-in-arm for a few photos.

Word then came that Justin Timberlake would be expected soon. Hmmm, I wonder if Scarlett Johansson will be joining him...
