Dolly Parton Gives Jessica Simpson a Pass

December 8th, 2006 // 1 Comment

People reports that Dolly Parton is just fine, darlin’, with Jessica Simpson’s audience-mystifying rendition of “9 to 5″ which she blamed on several things – including Dolly’s prescence, and her own dress.

Dolly Parton has no hard feelings toward Jessica Simpson, who flubbed the lines to the country singer’s song “9 to 5″ during the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday.

“Jessica is so talented that I’m sure that someday they will be paying tribute to her and I would be honored to perform for her,” Parton said in a statement to Inside Edition on Thursday. “But I’ll probably be so nervous that I’ll forget my wig!”

On Sunday, Simpson was paying tribute to Parton by singing her famous song before a packed audience, which included President Bush and the First Lady, when she botched the lines and then fled the stage in tears.

“Dolly you make me so nervous. I can’t even sing the words right,” Simpson said at the time.

Later, Simpson’s rep, Cindi Berger, said the singer was “overcome with emotion” during her performance. “She wanted the song to be perfect and she was upset with herself when it wasn’t,” Berger told USA Today.

Simpson re-taped her rendition of “9 to 5″ for the televised version of the Kennedy Center Honors.

Jessica has also blamed the dissolution of her marriage on her shoes, and the fact that her Dad has sexual thoughts about her on her handbag.

Dolly Parton rules, by the way.
