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.

Jessica Simpson Finally Dropped from Her Record Label?

One of our readers sent me some very interesting emails today.  He has been doing some “tattle tale” investigation work and it seems that Jessica Simpson is no where to be found on any of her record label websites. 

If you remember – back in December – we told you that rumors were flying that Joe Galante, the head of Sony BMG Nashville was furious with all of her antics.  They were threatening to drop her from the label. 

Could these rumors finally becoming true after her shaking tour with Rascal Flatts?

Our reader noticed the following:

Today, her name appears nowhere among the artists listed on the web sites of Columbia Nashville or Sony Music Nashville. Even a search of each site finds that any prior mention of her photos, profile, press releases – has apparently been purged:

http://www.sonymusicnashville.com/artists/

http://www.columbianashville.com/artists/
 
You can still find old press releases in the Google cache, but they do not exist at Columbia Nashville or Sony BMG Nashville’s web sites.

For example, this used to be the URL for her artist page: http://www.columbianashville.com/artists/details.cfm?artistid=1000040

As you can see, it errors out, because she’s been removed from the database.  There’s no reason to do that unless she’s been dropped from the label.

So has my wish finally been granted?  Short lived country music career.  What do we think she will move onto next?  Any suggestions? 

Let us know if you have heard anything else about her status with the label.  Please remember as of right this moment….this is just rumor.

Jessica Simpson Gets Flubbergasted

Jessica Simpson went out with a cur-plop at her last Rascal Flatts show in California over the weekend….Jessica flubbed a few lines in two of her songs, and reportedly started them over.  After messing up “Remember That” Jessica commented:

“Oops! I said whiskey too early! I messed up!” she told the audience, according to US magazine. “I’m so embarrassed! But I’m starting over again because I really want you guys to hear the lyrics the right way.”

I usually think the protocol is to just plow on through and keep going.  After messing up the opening line to “Still Don’t Stop Me,” Jessica apologized again…

“I messed up again. I do this all the time!” she said with a laugh, before starting the song over.

Wow…really?  Thank goodness it’s over.  Good riddens Jessica!

Dolly Parton Defending Jessica Simpson….Again

Dolly Parton must really hold a special place in her heart for Jessica Simpson.  She is once again coming to her defense and speaking up for the rained on country crossover.

Dolly paid a visit to ‘Larry King Live’ and made the following comments:

“People always treat her bad; they always talk bad about her,” Parton said. “I’ve been fat and I’ve been skinny, and I’m not about to say anything about somebody else’s weight, because I know how hard it is when you gain five or six pounds. I don’t know how overweight she is — I have not seen her. But I know that Jessica is a good girl, and she’s beautiful to me.”  “She’ll get some weight off just because people won’t leave her alone,” said Parton. “She’ll have to get skinny just to get people to shut the hell up!”

She has a point there! Read what Dolly had to say about Jessica a few months ago when she came to her rescue when people were talking about her crossover to country.
