Dolly Parton Comes to Jessica Simpson’s Defense

Dolly Parton came to the defense of Jessica Simpson after the media attacked her for gaining weight, forgetting her own lyrics and having relationship problems.Simpson has been all over tabloids and Internet sites for her recent weight gain. But Parton came to her rescue while being interviewed on CNN’s Larry King Live. “I’ve been fat and I’ve been skinny. And I’m not about to say something about somebody else’s weight because I know how hard it is when you gain, you know, five or six pounds, and certainly 10 or 12. But I know that Jessica is a good girl. She’s beautiful to me. And I’m sure that she’s going to get some weight off just because people won’t leave her alone.”Parton also stood up for Simpson when she reportedly forgot her lyrics and ran off stage while opening for Rascal Flatts. Parton proclaimed, “I think every entertainer’s had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can’t remember everything all the time.”Parton has had contact with Simpson recently as the two just recorded a song together on Simpson’s latest album, Do You Know.   Read what Webb has to say about this and other country news in Webb's Woof.
