Wendie wrote this morning about reports that Jessica Simpson’s name and artist page had been deleted from the Columbia Nashville and Sony Music Nashville websites. Now it’s been confirmed: Jess is no longer with the label.
They’re trying to spin this like it’s no big deal. According to her rep: “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.”
Jessica’s country career hasn’t been a huge success. Her country debut, Do You Know, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard country charts, but it only sold 172,876 copies as of February. Not exactly a smashing success. Taylor Swift’s Fearless sold 217,000 copies in its first day. Her concerts have been one trainwreck after another, with Jess forgetting words left and right.
OK, Jess. Pop music isn’t for you. Country music isn’t for you.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
Rap. Album. Stat.
Please, Jess? Please?
Actually, I have another idea. She should marry Tony Romo and do a reality show about it. It could be called Newlyweds … Again. Has anyone in the history of television ever done reality shows for two different marriages? Jessica Simpson’s certainly not setting any records on the Billboard charts, but maybe she can set a reality TV show record!
She was on loan?!?!
Is it ridiculous that I took your suggestion of a second Newlyweds and got a bit excited? Ah…I loved Newlyweds. If only.
Took ’em long enough. They couldn’t keep sinking their hopes and dreams into her forever.
She’s a train wreck of a “country star”. She was awful in concert. I wanted to boo her off stage but thought it might make her cry and forget her lyrics even further.
That’s just downright sad. I keep rooting for her… she keeps fucking it up.
I think they dropped her because she refused to stop doing the bobble-head thing while singing. SO ANNOYING~~
That sucks. I’ve always had a soft spot for Jessica. =\
Don’t forget that she got her start in gospel music and had to leave when her body became too curvaceous and sexy for that medium. (remember when her daddy caught hell in the press for commenting on his daughter’s boobs) She really does seem like a sweet girl and that face is truely gorgeous. I wish her the best.
it seems she has decided to go into rap, and it’s so sad: Eminem’s comeback single and there she is-singing! again- i haven’t heard her rap but in ‘We Made You’ well…let’s leave it up to the people.
ah this is crazy! I saw her at one of the rascal flatts concerts in February at MSG and i thought she was great. I didnt wanna believe they dropped her but i read it here first- http://tinyurl.com/jessicasimpsonnews
Maybe it is better she stays in the pop scene
