Jessica Simpson Is Going Country
Jessica Simpson is ready to add another accessory to her always-stylish look – a cowboy hat.
The singer is "talking about doing a country record and going back to her roots, being from Texas," Jessica's father and manager, Joe Simpson, told PEOPLE at Hard Rock Hotel's Rolling Stone party in Las Vegas.
"Everything in our business is about beats and I think she really wants to sing," he said, "and country music still believes in that."
Simpson, 27, recently finished filming Major Movie Star and is turning her thoughts back to her music. Her last album, 2006's "Public Affair," hit the Top 20, but quickly fell off the charts.
"She's a singer from top to bottom," Joe Simpson said. "And everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the the only pure, storytelling kind of genre left."
On whether she will be accepted among country fans, he said, "She's from Texas. How could she not?"

So how is he going to explain Ashley's next album?
"It's not very good, there's no great story to tell, but it's the type of digital crap the kids today like, so she'll be on the top of charts."

Hahaha, so true!
Jessica will sell out to anything for a buck. Buy my Christian music, shoes, purses, pop music, clothes (that I don't wear myself), movies, country music, pizza bites, marriage reality show, wedding book, website memberships, ringtones, photography book, magazines that I'm in, any product I back like proactive or pepsi, and anything else I can slap my name on. Ridiculous that she can just change genres like that in hopes of actually having a hit.

Exactly...
I can't help but wonder if she is the "singer" in that juicy blind item from months and months ago...the one who had the Milli-Vanilli thing going on where someone else was doing all the singing for her...? She hasn't made a record in a long time...
