Carrie: 1. Jessica: 0.
I’ll tell you what…If you didn’t get to hate on Jessica Simpson this week with Jackass and the Mule, read the following story from USMAGAZINE:
Jessica Simpson was slammed by a critic for a “bizarre and often frustrating” performance in Ontario, Canada Wednesday.
“It might be unfair calling Jessica Simpson’s show at the Avalon Ballroom Wednesday a train wreck — at some point, a train knows where it’s going,” John Law wrote in the Niagara Falls Review.
Law said the singer — who is making the transition from pop to country with a new album (out September 9) — is “still living in a reality show, convinced everyone is so fascinated with her personal life, they’d rather hear her talk than sing.”

The concert was more like a “therapy session” for her, he wrote, because she “needs to explain in exhausting detail what every single song is about.”
Simpson, 28, dedicated a song called “You’re My Sunday” to beau Tony Romo — and she even discussed flatulence.
“I do pass gas a lot,” she told the crowd. “I guarantee it smells like roses.”
Howler says: classy.
Law concluded that “Simpson can’t deliver a concert worthy of her new record.
“It’s hard to take her [seriously] when she declares how much she loves “Destiny” Springfield, and then performs a version of “Son of a Preacher Man” so devoid of soul, Dusty would disown it,” he wrote.
