Pour myself a cup of ambition

It's probably for the best that Jessica Simpson has asked for her "contribution" to the Kennedy Centre tribute to Dolly Parton to be wiped.

After all, how, exactly, does someone pay tribute to a genuine legend by getting some flittering half-life to do one of her songs? "Hey, Dolly, we love you so much we're going to make you sit through the ritual humiliation of one of your tunes." It's a bit like throwing a tribute to a great chef by hiring McDonalds and telling Ronald to ensure it's cheeseburgers all round.

Adding insult to the original hospitalisation of an idea, Jessica Simpson was attempting to sing Nine To Five. Jessica Simpson singing a song about day-to-day wage-slavery. No wonder she couldn't get the words right - it must have been like singing in Polish for her.
