Mayer's Pal Says 'Absolutely Not' To Simpson Reconciliation

Since Jessica Simpson split from Tony Romo, rumors have been circulating about which ex she might pair back up with next. Nick Lachey? John Mayer? While Lachey nixed any chance at a reunion himself, Mayer's buddy Rob Dyrdek vouched for the singer and told PEOPLE that Mayer would "absolutely not" get back together with Simpson.

Dyrdek said he "wouldn't rule it out" but "I'm just saying [I don't think so]."

Now, since Simpson seems to be handling herself pretty well as a single gal - including nabbing a free $10,000 ring - what makes us assume she'll be getting back together with her exes? Specifically Mayer, who's been enjoying spending time with the boys since his split from Jennifer Aniston.

Dyrdek, star of MTV's 'Fantasy Factory,' speaks highly of Mayer. The pair pulled a prank earlier this summer where they faked out the press by carrying a seemingly incoherent and drunk Dyrdek out from a club.

"He's one of the most incredible people I have ever met and a thoroughbred genius," Dyrdek said of Mayer. "He just likes to [mess] with the paparazzi. He's like, 'I want to do so much more crazy [stuff],' and he settled on carrying me out of the club."
