My first reaction was "She has a MOM?"
And my second was, of course Mom is steamed. Not many women warm up to women
who come between them and their husbands.
Having said all of that, I -- a former Jessica Simpson hater and
eye-roller-- am beginning to not only like the girl but feel sympathy for
her. She's revealing a much more real and vulnerable side than I ever
thought possible.

Sounds like how my mom was back when I was a teenager. When ever I
failed, she only was concerned how people would view her for my failure.
When I failed my drivers permit test, she chewed my ass out for EMBARASSING
HER! "WHAT WOULD THE OTHER PARENTS THINK ABOUT MY SON NOT GETTING HIS
PERMIT, THEY WOULD THINK YOU ARE RETARDED! THEY WOULD SAY, "HERE COMES
MARY WITH HER RETARDED SON".
When I recounted this story to mom a few weeks ago, she forgot about it.
She said, 'yeah, but you passed it the next time you took it.' And I did,
the thing is that I didn't take it for 6 years after I took the first one!

Since you failed the test because you didn't know how to start the car can
you blame her?

Your car being the only one with training wheels might have been a clue.

In just a few weeks your mom forgot you recounted the story? Maybe she just
didn't want to recall embarrassing moments.

That would make you 34 years old when you finally passed. How did you feel
standing in line with so many 14 or 15 year olds?

Congrats, you MANAGED TO GET EVERY ASPECT OF THE STORY WRONG!!!
I could call you a name, but what does that acomplish? NOTHING. So in
the sprit of the christmas season, I will attempt to clarify my story.
first to frame, this story at first took place in 1985. When I was 16.

You might not know, so I won't fault you, is that in Kentucky first you take
a writen test to get your permit. Then after six months of getting your
permit, you can get your license.

That part of the story happened just about four weeks ago, from today. She
forgot about it.

Actually I took it when I was 22. I did it without telling either my mom
or dad.
And when I took the driving test (where you are actually behind the wheel, I
passed with a 95 of 100), mom didn't know about it either. It helped
without her 'help'.
Also at that time from 1983 to 1995, mom was on a 'dynasty' kick, she
thought she was Joan Collins. She has grew out of it, unfortantly Joan
Collins hasn't.

Actually, I took it another way. I thought for once, a celeb's mom is
giving it to her daughter rather than making excuses. Everything she
said was dead-on: be professional, go to the rehearsals, learn the
lines, take the job seriously or get out of the business. It was a slap
in the face to the honoree, not to mention embarrassing to all
concerned. I would've said the same had my daughter done that. Man,
she would've gotten hell.
Having said that, does anyone have a link to the fiasco? :-)

And maybe Mom should get a job of her own instead of using her kids as
a gravy train.

She's SUPPOSED TO BE A PROFESSIONAL PERFORMER AND ENTERTAINER.
Good grief. Some of you people will excuse ANYBODY if they are famous or
feel sorry for even the stoopidest of famous nincompoops.

At least Dolly was extremely gracious in all this. That woman has

I so agree. And if you respected Dolly as much as you say you wouldnt
want to be made to be a fool in front of her. I keep saying either do
your job right or go get that McDonalds job Jessica

I completely agree as well! This girl makes a pile of money in this
business and has been performing cough cough "live" cough cough for
years. She simply didn't bother to learn the words....her mother was
right - very unprofessional at a very prestigious awards show.
If you can't cook, then get the hell out of the kitchen.
chef_boyhowdy!
You never know. Dolly has had an extremely long career, perhaps there was a
time or a performance where she flubbed up something horrible in public,
too. Perhaps it's sympathy on a personal level.
CliffB
Still, at the Kennedy Centre Honors? That's pathetic.It's a Blue Chip
event, and in truth Simpson had no business being there in the first
place - and she proved it out.
chef_boyhowdy!
aure its pathetic.
like nobody on this newsgroup never had a bad night onstage.
Kathy
I doubt that there are many actors/performers who have never flubbed a
line or lyrics to a song.

MY first reaction was: "Why are Mommy and daddy telling her what to
do?"
She's a grown woman who has already been MARRIED for chrissakes.
What are they going to do?
Ground her?
Take away her cell phone?

Joe is too mesmerized by his daughter's breasts to care anything about
her performance. "They're double D's!" someone heard him say
backstage.

To be fair, any American of a certain age probably does. Jessica is too
young to have learned it the way we did.

True, but flubbing it is different than signaling your disinterest by
failing to learn it in the first place and relying on cue cards to
provide the lyrics. After that, flubbing it shows you're not familiar
enough with the tune to read along.
