Oooo…I bet Creepy PePaw Joe is going to start passing the basket to save Jessica Simpson’s career. Rumor has it that the witless wonder is getting the axe. Nashville Gab reported the beginning of the rumor.
After a string of flubbed live performances and a failing venture into country music, Simpson is being dropped from Sony BMG Nashville. She was touring with Rascal Flatts and forgot the words to many of her own songs and embarrassed herself on more than one occasion. Simpson has also had to restart several of her songs and lamented to concert goers about the band constantly having to save her. Joe Galante, head of Sony Nashville, is reportedly fed up and give her an ultimatum back in December. Shape up or ship out.
The searching eyes over at Country Music Tattle Tale noticed that her name is no longer on the artists list on the sites of Columbia Nashville or Sony Music Nashville. The sites have also been purged of anything Jessica related. Photos, press releases and her profile are noticeably absent.
This is just a rumor at this point, but I am sure a spin doctor is tirelessly working on a statement Jess will screw up later and will go something like:
Hey Y’all,
I have decided to take a break from the country music busi…bus…i…ness…bus…wait I have decided to take a break from the bus? What is that word? Oh, I will just do it myself. I have decided to take a break from doing my twang singing. Instead I want to go start a duck farm because baby ducks are the cutest. By then I am hoping Tony will have finally decided to marry me and then I plan to crank out a cook book that will be centered around cooking with Velveeta and beef jerky.
Peace, Love and Processed Cheese!
Jess
Poor girl. Lets hope that weave line she is cranked out will pay the bills for awhile.
UPDATE – It’s confirmed Jessica Simpson was indeed dropped. She is still with Epic, but her country music career is over. Her rep confirmed to Us Weekly:
“She was on loan to Sony Nashville for her country album. She is and has always been an Epic artist,” her rep adds. “She continues to be on Epic’s label.”
