Dolly Parton Hearts Jessica Simpson?

Dolly Parton has been such a great supporter of Jessica Simpson when the younger woman wanted to go into country music. But what’s this I hear that Jess isn’t showing the gratitude that the legendary Miss Parton richly deserves?
An insider (here they go again, why don’t they just expose their names so that everyone will know who blabbed?!), said that Jessica, instead of rehearsing her songs and memorizing lyrics, has been neglecting them in favor for her beau, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo.
Apparently, Jessica is blowing off tour rehearsals to have some cuddling time with her cowboy. Hmmmm, Jess, you’re kinda making things mucky for yourself, aren’t you? Assuming that this is true, of course.
“Jessica adores Dolly and trusts her completely. She says she’s ready to roll up her sleeves again, and she certainly wants success. But she doesn’t always seem willing to put in the hard work to make it happen. She would blow off tour rehearsals to hang out with Tony Romo,” said the insider.
Now, we all know that Jessica’s debut country album, Do You Know, did not exactly do well in the record sales. Dolly, who has taken on an affection for the struggling singer/ actress, has offered her to record a second country album on her label, Dolly Records.
Again, the same insider revealed to an American tabloid, the National Enquirer that the famous country singer (who is much-spoofed in Las Vegas), “sees a lot of herself in Jessica” in that fact that she too, has battled her own doubts and demons when the public’s focal point of unwanted attention was centered on her. Well, this is one of those times when I’m glad that “Birds of the same feather flock together.”

Seems like Dolly’s holding up pretty well after all these years
