Looks like it was a wrdrobe malfunction after all...
Simpson's Meltdown Caused by Faulty Dress
Pop star Jessica Simpson's poor performance at the Kennedy Center Honors event on Sunday night was due to her faulty dress.
Simpson performed the song "Nine to Five" during a tribute to Dolly Parton and was seen awkwardly clutching her strapless gown with one arm while holding a microphone with the other.
According to Star magazine, the singer was desperately trying to keep her gown up until the end of the song and became distracted while heavily relying on cue cards to read the lyrics.
Simpson became visibly distraught after flubbing the song and abruptly exited the stage after saying, "Dolly, you make me so nervous!"
The botched performance will not air during the televised special on December 26, as Simpson requested to re-tape the segment after the show.

You are quoting Star Magazine? They even got the fact about the teleprompters wrong by calling them cue cards.
I hear Jessica has blamed it on alcohol and is going into rehab.

Posted: 12/6/06 at 8:08pmI told my mom this and while I am into the story and say Jessica Simpson was singing 9 to 5 my mom says "How did she get to sing a song like 9 to 5?"

Y'know, this sort of behavior from Jessica doesn't suprise me. At all.
I mean, we're talking about a woman who couldn't decide if "Chicken of the Sea" was tuna or chicken.

She had just found out about 'Prison Break' star Lane Garrison's tragic auto accident. Apparently Lane was like a brother to her - they grew up in the same town and when he had problems at home, he went to live with Jessica's dad Joe Simpson when he was a teenager. Simpson helped make Lane a star like he did his daughters.
I think that was the real reason...

Namo, I have to use that as my sig...that is a perfect description of what Jessica looks like when she sings.

Jessica has now pulled out of the Kennedy Center Honors completely. She wasn't satisfied with her second take, so she has asked to be edited out of the show all together.

Posted: 12/22/06 at 1:36pmIt's a shame, though, that Dolly's (arguably) most famous song won't be heard on a show that's honoring her.

Posted: 12/22/06 at 1:46pmI agree Kringas. It's also a shame that they would ask her to be the one to sing the song. I think Dolly Parton deserved better than Jessica Simpson. It reminds me of when Beyonce paid tribute to Tina Turner. Beyonce is a good performer but I didn't think she had the "weight" a performer needs to really pay homage to Ms. Turner and her "Proud Mary."
