Jessica Simpson had a major meltdown while opening for Rascal Flats. In a set that didn;'t ake it past the 40 minute mark, Jessica blathered about her love for Mr Sunday Tony Romo, messed up several songs and finally ran off stage nearly in tears. That has everyone wondering WTF is wrong with this girl?
Some say that Romo's failure to show at her concert rattled her nerves. Other's think that Simpson is back on the sauce. She has a major drinking problem: her hospital stay for a kidney infection a while ago was actual alcohol related - she'd drunk so heavily that she'd burned her insides out. Then there's that fitness video she's getting sued over - she showed up for the taping too drunk to perform. The plot thickens - Jessica was recently out for a 2 hour vodka session with her mother, Tina, and a few of her Sunday School teachers (Jessica was an active Christian until, like namesake Alba, she found them 'too judgemental'. Her father was also a youth leader and lay preacher, in addition to being a psychologist, impresario, and amateur soft core pornographer - no one can take sexy pics of Jess like he can, he says!).
Some might say that mom really ought not be pouring booze into her daughter like that, but mom has always seemed to have a passive aggressive thing going on with her daughter. For instance it was Mom Tina who leaked to Vanity Fair that Jess had a 160 IQ. Tina explained that the school wanted her tested when she was a kid because she seemed to be a bit touched in the head. Now no one is sure whether this is true. Jessica herself won't admit anything. In a special damage control interview a couple of days later in the SF Gate, Jess addressed the issue of her alleged genius with statements like - "I'm not really into smart stuff" and "What's a book?".
Dumb is part of Simpson's image - like crazy is part of Britney Spear's, and vapid is part of Paris Hilton's. So she can't afford to come off smart without people asking for a refund - which they've already done since her Nick Lechay bust up. He was part of her image too. Still it's interesting that she didn't directly deny the test results. More interesting is that Mom leaked it, though no doubt knowing that dumb and cute was part of the Simpson image. Some where along the line the family obviously sat down and decided to go with that. Maybe her husband's constant preoccupation with his pretty daughter's career finally got to her!
BTW - Jessica's ups and downs may have got Barack Obama bumped off the newspaper covers briefly (Pres sez " I hear she has a weight battle or something" to Today's Matt Lauer when kidded about being bumped off of the front pages), but one person she hasn't distracted attention from is Christian Bale. The remixes and parody video's keep multiplying by the hour.
