Jessica Simpson finds herself even further down the spiral after being dropped by Sony Music. According to OK! Magazine

A staffer for Columbia Nashville, the division of Sony Music… responsible for releasing Jessica’s most recent album, told us that Jessica Simpson has now “come off the label.”

Her latest single, Pray Out Loud, has failed to chart, [and] her winter tour supporting Rascal Flatts has been something of a rocky one, with several shows having been marked by fumbled songs, do overs and booing crowds.

Jessica’s rep tells OK! that she “is and has always been an Epic artist. She was on loan to Sony Nashville for her country album. She continues to be on Epic’s label.”

Geez. The only thing that’s ever crashed and burned faster than Jessica Simpson’s career wound up scrap metal at the bottom of the Florida Everglades. Desperate times call for desperate measures, people. And by “desperate measures” I of course mean “sex tape.” It’s really the only shot she’s got left.

Chubbing it up at a concert in Chula Vista, CA:

More bad news for Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps — Dophin Boy has officially been suspended from USA Swimming competitions for the next ninety days. USA Swimming said in a public statement:

“This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero.”

To add insult to injury, Kellogg’s cereal manufacturers have decided not to renew Phelps’ contract when it expires at the end of this month. Kellog’s said

“We originally built the relationship with Michael, as well as the other Olympic athletes, to support our association with the US Olympic team. Michael’s most recent behavior is not consistent with the image of Kellogg. His contract expires at the end of February and we have made a decision not to extend his contract.”

Well, fuck Kellogg’s, and fuck USA Swimming. Who needs them anyway? There’s a whole world of opportunities and open doors just waiting for Michael Phelps. I can think of at least ten right now right off the top of my head.
