Jessica Simpson took time out from her failed country music career to do a spread for Vanity Fair. The “With You” singer even landed on the cover. (I am guessing all the cool kids were busy.)
Simpson has faced a lot of downfalls lately. Her musical endeavors have plunged as she attempted to reinvent herself in the Opry world. The album failed to even reach the 200,000 marker in sales and 2 of her attempts at films also went down the crapper. “Blonde Ambition,” which barely made $1,771 it’s opening weekend, was followed by “Major Movie Star” going straight to DVD. While on tour she also flubbed many of her live performances. Most assumed she was having a break down.
Via Vanity Fair:
“When it comes to media criticism, that’s just something I have had to train myself – literally train myself – to ignore. Because I’m the one up there onstage, and I can feel the energy of the crowd. And I know when I did good. And I know when I did great. And there wasn’t one time on this tour when I felt like I butchered it. I mean, the way people make it sound, I should have never been singing in the first place.”
(Hmm….there’s a thought.) Despite the failures she seems to be becoming synonymous with, Jessica seems to have faith that things will turn around.
“There will always be another opportunity,” she says, “another door to walk through.”
Awww…she’s like the little engine that could. Only a little less astute.
