Jessica Simpson Talks to 107.5 The River

Jessica Simpson gave an interview to radio station 107.5-The River last week where she talked about the usual subjects: her new country album, boyfriend Tony Romo, the fued with Carrie Underwood, and of course, farting. (That’s our Jess!)

Let’s start with the most interesting one first. It’s obvious Papa Joe has done some damage control with the whole Carrie Underwood thing and I think it’s good. Jessica has been answering this question very smartly. Take a listen.

I’m not sure I believe that Jessica didn’t know that Carrie was a vegetarian, but I couldn’t blame her for wearing the shirt even if she did. Carrie seems to be adding fuel to this fire by saying publicly in an interview that Tony still calls her. I’d say the issue is Tony here, if he is calling Carrie all the time he might be trying to get Jess jealous on purpose.

I’m not the only one that’s noticed how Jessica is answering questions differently about Carrie these days. The Country Hound quotes Jessica as saying:

“People are just trying to make a story out of nothing. I respect her and hopefully she respects me. We’ve just dated the same guy — that’s it! I think it’s impressive how many No. 1s Carrie Underwood has,” Simpson said. “Her choice in songs is really great, and she has an incredible voice. As far as new people, she has one of the strongest voices out there.”

This is a very smart answer, especially given the fact that Jessica and Carrie will probably be seeing lots of each other in the upcoming months (and years) at country shows.

As a side note, did you catch the last thing Jessica said on the video? It was an ever so slight slam against Pam Anderson. Right on Jess!

In this next part of the interview, Jessica talks about “the curse” that fans have blamed her for.

This next part of the interview is probably my least favorite. For some reason both Simpson sisters tend to talk quite a bit about burping and farting. Jessica mentions it here in this segment.

I think there’s no reason to be talking about this in interviews, and I wondered why Jessica keeps bringing it up. Then I read this bit from CMT (Country Music Television) in which the reporter speculated, “Country artists, especially the women, tend to do better when fans realize they’re just normal people who do normal things.”

Hmm. Could it be Papa Joe’s hand at work again? Or just a candid Jessica moment?

Meanwhile, Ted Casablanca from E! Online says that Jessica “just signed herself up for a membership with the Country Music Association, meaning she can nominate and vote for CMA Awards.”
