She’s OFFICIALLY not with Columbia Nashville. This from OK…”
UPDATE: When OK! called Columbia Nashville, the label which released Jess’s country album, a telephone operator told us that Jessica Simpson has now “come off the label”. We’re waiting for further comment.”

So glad that Country Music Tattle Tale was the FIRST to be able to bring you this news! We finally got to something first! Thanks again to our reader for sending us the email yesterday with the heads up. We have the BEST readers.
ANOTHER UPDATE: US Magazine has everything figured out:
The singer, 28, is no longer with the Sony Nashville label, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com. The singer’s rep tells Us, “She was on loan to Sony Nashville for her country album.”
Simpson, who has released pop albums on the Epic label, “is and has always been an Epic artist,” her rep adds. “She continues to be on Epic’s label.”
The Boot makes some great points:
However, Simpson said in numerous interviews last year that her crossover to country was indeed permanent. She even said that if Epic would not support her release of a second country album, she’d take matters into her own hands.
“Then I’m going to pay for it myself,” she told Nashville’s Tennessean newspaper. “I’m not giving up, and I’m going to make country music … It’s a spiritual thing for me, like I know God has a plan and a purpose.”
Simpson’s first and only country album, ‘Do You Know,’ debuted at No. 1 on the country charts but has sold only around 170,000 copies since its release last September.
