As if Jessica Simpson needed any more bad news outta her home state (Cowboys fans, of course, placed the blame for QB and Simpson boyfriend Tony Romo's playoff loss squarely at her feet), along comes Paris Hilton to steal her Lone Star State limelight.

The blondie heiress was in Texas recently to promote her new flick, The Hottie and the Nottie, and my party pal tells me she done charmed the socks off them locals...including Terrell Owens.

"She didn't act like a diva," says one Dallasite, adding that P posed for pics and signed autographs galore at the premiere. Over at the after-party, held at Ghostbar, Paris took a page from Jess' playbook by hangin' with Dallas Cowboy T.O. (with whom she exchanged digits) and Jason Witten

"She totally wowed this celeb-hungry crowd and made a big impression," swears my soiree source, who adds that Paris downed mojitos and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and  claimed she was hoping to score a cool cowboy hat during her visit.

Maybe she's just a simple country girl after all? Now, all she needs is the big hair—though Jessica still has her beat on that score.
