According to Nashville Gab the highly accredited National Enquirer says that Dolly Parton may have a hand in helping Jessica Simpson out with her next country record.
After Jessica’s debut country CD tanked, Dolly personally offered to bankroll Jess’ second country album on her label, Dolly Records, sources say.
“Dolly sees a lot of herself in Jessica. Her personal life has been the focal point of unwanted attention, and like Jessica, she’s had to battle her own doubts and demons,” a friend divulged.
“But Dolly is a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps kind of gal, and she’s tried to instill some of that in Jessica.”
Back in 2003, Jessica’s pop album “In this Skin” sold a whopping 5 million copies…. [she] tried to recapture that glory by courting a country crowd, but her CD “Do You Know” sold fewer than 200,000 copies, and her record label Sony Nashville dumped her…
Despite all [of Jessica's problems performing] Dolly was quick to defend her.
“I think every entertainer’s had nights when things go wrong,” the 63-year-old music legend declared on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”
“But I know that Jessica is a good girl. She’s beautiful to me. I’ve never been around a person any sweeter in my life.”
Dolly has come to Jessica’s defense many times in the past and I suppose if this story is true we probably have not heard the last from her. Personally I think she should step out of the stoplight for a bit of time. Get herself together. The girl can sell pop albums – I just wonder if she has killed her reputation too much to have any kind of come back at all – in any genre.

Ugh will she just take a hint and go away already?? She is not going to make it as a country star, the sooner she realizes it the better off she will be. She should just stick to pop, her most successful albums have been in that genre… I don’t see what the problem is here?!
