Jessica Simpson Only Sells a L’il Bit of Country

Why so glum, Jessica?  Could it have anything to do with your bail out to country music being a complete flop?

A spokeswoman for the one-time pop princess says Simpson remains part of the Sony Music Group on the Epic label, but is no longer working with the company’s country division, Sony Music Nashville.

To date, the disc, Simpson’s fifth studio release, has sold around 178,000 copies — a long way from her 3 million-selling 2003 disc, “In This Skin.”

“Everywhere I saw her around the U.S. at different radio station events she was always well-received,” said Lon Helton, editor and publisher of the industry trade publication “Country Aircheck.” “For whatever reason, the music did not resonate.”

Could it be because of that whole chubby thing she had going on for a while, or quite possibly just the fact she was just a pop princess looking in to pool some money?  Quite simply, it could be her taste in fashion– including underwear.  We’ll let America decide.
