Simpson In Tears After Flubbing ’9 To 5′ Tribute To Parton

The annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, DC featured a forgettable moment for Jessica Simpson. People magazine reports Simpson and ‘American Idol’ season four champ Carrie Underwood took the stage to perform some of Parton’s best-known hits. Singing ’9 to 5′, a visibly nervous Simpson muffed a line and, as she finished, said: “Dolly you make so nervous. I can’t even sing the words right.” Event host Reese Witherspoon stood next to Simpson and put an arm around her, apparently comforting the still upset singer afterwards. The ‘Blonde Ambition’ star later sang the number over for the CBS broadcast of the gala, set to air December 26th.
