Jessica Simpson’s Mom Steamed Over “9 to 5″ Flub
Jessica Simpson’s mother gave Jess a verbal smackdown after her “embarrassing” rendition of “9 to 5″ in front of Dolly Parton and President Bush at the Kennedy Center Honors last weekend, telling her that she should get out of the business if she doesn’t want to put in the work.
Sources tell TMZ that Tina Simpson was furious with Jess after she flubbed lyrics, stood statue-still on stage while trying to hold her dress up, and then awkwardly hurried off with a few mumbled words to Parton. Tina told her daughter that the performance was “embarrassing” and “unprofessional,” and mom was further incensed because Jessica had missed a dress rehearsal and hadn’t adequately learned lyrics to the song — which necessitated cue cards at the front of the stage. Jessica can be clearly seen reading from the cards during her performance.
Curiously, Jessica’s dad, Joe, wasn’t undone by the snafu, according to Planet Gossip’s Marc Malkin. Joe didn’t feel there was any need to reshoot the performance, calling it “cute,” but show producers, reports Malkin, begged Joe to have Jess do it again, without anyone in the audience. “We almost cut her out of the [CBS] show,” says a source.
Jessica’s reps have blamed the mishap on nerves.

!!!Gaahh!!! Why is it that the more coverage there is of Nick and Vanessa, there’s more pics of Jess messing up in public? She obeyed Pappa Joe, got rid of Nick ’cause Joe wants to be the only man in her life, and the world is NOT her oyster as Pappa Joe promised it would be if only she got rid of Nick.
Jess should be gettin’ rid of Pappa Joe, or she’ll never have lasting success with any man.
Sorry, Jess….you can’t put husbands on a shelf when you tire of them, and then expect them to be there at your convenience…..unlike what Pappa Joe says, the world does NOT revolve around the *&^%$#@ Simpson family.
Jessica and Papa Simpson are the ones that ruined her image and her marriage to Nick. If Jessica wasn’t so far up Papa’s ass and listened to all of his advice (about marriage, career, etc.), I think that Nick and Jess would have been fine and stayed together.
It doesn’t help that your dad is telling you to *&^% it up for your videos either, so the Simpsons are more to blame than Nick ever will be.
