One would think that Jessica Simpson would have at least a little bit of on stage experience that would prevent her from getting the jitters, but I suppose when you trade in your Daisy Duke shorts for some banjo and old country twang, the nerves are going to peak a mite. Jessica held a listening party in Nashville on Thursday night for her new country album ‘Do You Know’ and it seems she was a bit freaked out. And this glamorously polished star opened her show by saying ‘If I throw up, I’m sorry’. Classy. Doing the standard Jessica move by brushing her goldy locks from her face, she thanked her listeners for coming and for giving her a chance. She discussed how the album is an ‘autobiography of sorts about the pain she’s been through and appreciates the sensitivities to her vulnerabilities. And if you thought the little soiree was a glammed up contemporary country event, you were wrong. Jessy girl was backed by a banjo, 3 acoustic guitars, and yes, even a barefoot fiddler ladies and gentmen. Again, I could not make this stuff up if I wanted to. Each song was intro’d with a heartbreaking story about how bad her life is. With ‘Remember That’ listeners were reminded about the abuse she doesn’t want to talk about. ‘Pray Out Loud’ was just what it sounds like, a song about faith and family she says, and how sweet is it that Jessica has gone all Christian too now, y’all? She then went into ‘Sippin on History’, a song about a relationship that was supposed to be a fairy tale, but wasn’t. Ok, so I guess she didn’t want to talk about THAT one either. But she got through it, and received her obligatory warm applause after each number, bully for her. She mentioned to her listeners that the album would be out on September 9, reminding them of how ‘lucky’ number 9 is folks. (huh, thought that was 7 actually) But oh, of course, guess who wears #9 on their jersey? You got it! And at the end of her set, the most notable moment of the night, she was ecstatic. Why? Because she didn’t throw up. Perhaps she should have taken a stomach poll ‘round the room, because that would be a bigger concern….

I truly wonder if the ongoing fued between Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson will ever die out. And I honestly hope it doesn’t, because this is rather entertaining. On one hand we have a sleek, polished, and ESTABLISHED country music star with Carrie, and on the other, well, a blonde *whatever* that doesn’t really know what chicken of the sea is. Jessica Simpson has been slammed pretty hard for attempting to break into the CMT scene and she’s been slamming back by causing fights and stirs between her primary rival, Carrie Underwood. It doesn’t help much that the two are both linked to Tony Romo, and Carrie is definitely playing on that. Carrie ‘let it slip’ in an interview with Allure magazine a while back that Tony is still calling her, and my hunch is that with this known rivalry, the slip was no faux pas. Jessica peaked, right on cue, and told the world she had a ‘chuckle’ with Tony about the claim because hey, she CHECKED his call log y’all and that simply wasn’t true! OK! We don’t look TOO crazy now, do we Jessie? Carrie just poo poo’d Jessica’s remarks, and why not, does Carrie Underwood need to make up stories about men? Doubt it! Jessica however may also be irked that in the same Allure interview Carrie alluded to a man that had cheated on her, that he was a liar, and ‘everyone knew it but me’. She never SAID Tony mind you, but should we check back on the time line between Tony/Carrie/Jessica triangle? Hmm….Maybe Jessica should invest in a Louisville slugger *just in case*.

Jessica Simpson is seen here leaving Mr. Chow restaurant in Los Angeles, and it seems that lately she is resorting back to her Daisy Duke look with teensy denim hotpants. But it’s not just dipsy daisy style that Jessica is going back to, it sounds like she is going back to her old ways of stupid is as stupid does. And the look on her face here could be that she’s discovering that the world really does think of her as the idiot she is. Her most recent idiot stunt was pulled when she misread a home pregnancy test. That’s right. Despite the very clear directions on and in the box, Jessica screwed it up and for a brief moment in time thought that she was preggers with Tony Romo’s baby. News that in fact was so exciting to both Tony and Jessica that they immediately went and blabbed the news to his family during a recent visit. The news was not so well received by his family unfortunately, and a huge fight erupted due to the fact that they aren’t married. Tony’s mom was even reported as crying and saying ‘How can you do this to us??’. In fact, all of the stress and disappointment was for naught, as Jessica later had to admit that she had made a mistake when it came to how to read the test properly. Or perhaps, just read properly period. Sheesh. Only Jessica Simpson. Maybe one of these days she will learn how to read properly, and will have to make the bombshell to the family again, as reports are that she IS trying to have a baby. If it does happen, at least she will be well prepared for the Romo family reaction…..

Jessica Simpson is seen here enjoying some retail therapy while she shops till she drops in some high-end fashion attire. She went shopping at Bergdorf Goodman in a turquoise dress paired with Roberto Cavalli shades and Christian Louboutin leather print shoes. Her shiny red bag is from her own line of accessories as well. One would think that with such a bold statement outfit and some melted plastic at Bergdorf’s that you should have a smile on your face. So why the glum Jessica? It could be that she is regretting some recent statements that she made with Elle magazine where she gave a candid and startling confession that she is the victim of abuse of some sorts. She may have regretted it as soon as she said it because that’s all we know about it as she clammed up immediately. Elle asked her if she had been physically abused, and all she said was that she couldn’t talk about it, but that she’s definitely experienced ‘abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run’. Hm. Wonder who or WHAT she means. It also came out that her recent album ‘Do You Know’ is autobiographical, and an outpouring of emotions with lyrics such as

It doesn’t matter how he hurts you, With his hands or with his words, You don’t deserve it, It ain’t worth it, Take your heart and run.”

Jessica really hasn’t been in the spotlight lately, with very few people still even wanting to talk about her, so while not to minimize abuse allegations, this may be a PR coo. It’s very odd when a celeb makes a bold statement such as this but refuses to comment further. Particularly when her abuse allegations are coupled with statements that echo lyrics from her new album. Sounds a little promotion heavy to me, but hey….if anything comes of this, we will definitely hear about it.
