NEW YORK (Billboard) - Jessica Simpson is in the early stages of recording a country album in Nashville, a project slated for a 2008 release via Columbia Records.

Simpson said she had always wanted to make a country album, but was waiting until the right time.

"I think there is a strength in female country artists," Simpson said, citing Martina McBride, Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Reba McEntire as some of her inspirations.

She said she would be involved in the creative process.

"Writing is a release for me," she said. "It's a way for me to tell my story. That's not to say I wouldn't record a song that I didn't write."

Her last album, "A Public Affair," spent just nine weeks on the Billboard 200 in 2006. Her most recent movie, "Blonde Ambition," was recently released in a handful of theaters in her native Texas en route to DVD stores.

I cannot fathom why she thinks this is a good idea.

[sparkly]

Oh God. She makes me want to barf. I guess her boyfriend/father put her up to this. She has no clue that NO ONE wants to see her manly face ever again. She reeks of desperation.

"I think there is a strength in female country artists,"

I am so over Jessica pulling this empowered woman bullshit.

She morphs into her partners. She's clingy and needy and I don't think people are going to care much for this country album either.

I don't know where Jessica went wrong, but she's now turned into a nobody, or at least, no one cares about her.

She should cover "9 to 5"

lol

[Penny Lane]

Oh yay.. Ive always wanted to die from bleeding from my ears.

Thanks, Jess.

When is she going to realize that her 15 minutes are LONG gone?

Jessica: "OK, y'all, here I come with my new sawng y'all, okay?! *giggle* It's called "I met a guy from Massachusetts". I sure don't know what Mass is sitting on, but it sure ain't me! Yet! *gigglesnortgumsnap*"

Maybe the country fans will buy it. Billy Ray Cyrus became an overnight sensation, so Jess may stand a chance.

Why?!
Why god?
Pl explain to us why we deserve this punishment?!

[DitaPage*]

Her dads big, dirty mouth blew it for me. Whenever i see her i hear him saying 'She got double Deeeeee's you cant cover those suckas up!'

[aabbcc]

And I thought 2008 was going to be a good year.

[Chimera]

She could do a duet with Billy Ray and he could stop riding his daughter's fame train for two minutes.
