Hello Dolly? Where’s Jessica Simpson?
December 27th, 2006Joe Daddy must have been very busy keeping off the air Jessica’s poor excuse for a performace at the Kennedy Center Awards which aired tonight on CBS. Anyone else smelling a Simpson Style Meltdown Coming any day now?
I mean, really, if she has to watch Nick sucking face with that little TRL girl one more time, I mean, uhem… what’s a girl to do?
A little google search found us some tidbits on foxnews.com:
“Simpson drew unwanted attention earlier this month when she flubbed the words to Parton’s “9 to 5″ during a taping of the annual show, grew flustered and fled the stage. Producers gave her a second chance at the song.
But after Simpson saw a tape, she requested the second attempt be pulled from the show, which airs Dec. 26 on CBS.
We appreciate the time and energy Ms. Simpson put into this event and respect the high standards she has for herself and that of the Kennedy Center Honors,” said George Stevens Jr., show producer.
What? How bad is the addiction problem if you can’t even fix it? There are millions of 30 somethings who could sing every word to that movie theme STILL. “Tumble Outta Bed. And Stumble to the Kitchen…”
Momma Simpson couldn’t believe it either. TMZ.com has the low-down:
Sources tell TMZ that Tina Simpson was furious with Jess after she flubbed lyrics, stood statue-still on stage while trying to hold her dress up, and then awkwardly hurried off with a few mumbled words to Parton. Tina told her daughter that the performance was “embarrassing” and “unprofessional,” and mom was further incensed because Jessica had missed a dress rehearsal and hadn’t adequately learned lyrics to the song — which necessitated cue cards at the front of the stage. Jessica can be clearly seen reading from the cards during her performance.
Curiously, Jessica’s dad, Joe, wasn’t undone by the snafu, according to Planet Gossip’s Marc Malkin. Joe didn’t feel there was any need to reshoot the performance, calling it “cute,” but show producers, reports Malkin, begged Joe to have Jess do it again, without anyone in the audience. “We almost cut her out of the [CBS] show,” says a source.
Cue cards? Not cute, Joe. Where’s Ashlee and her “backup” tapes? Pretty pathetic.
Wanna make your own cue cards, get drunk high nervous like Jessica Simpson, and get cut from the CBS show? Go to town!
Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin, stretchin, try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin
And folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Chorus:
Workin 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin
Barely gettin by
Its all takin
And no givin
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
Its enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that i
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss wont seem to let me in
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmmmm…
They let your dream
Just a watch em shatter
Youre just a step
On the boss mans a ladder
But you got dream hell never take away
On the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin for the day
Your shipll come in
And the tides gonna turn
An its all gonna roll you away
2nd chorus:
