Jessica Simpson is on the cover of the all-important September issue of Elle magazine.
Dressed as a cowgirl!
The failed actress and singer opens up to the mag about her daddy, John Mayer, Asslee, Tony Romo and much too much.
Here's an exclusive excerpt from her interview!
On her life changing incident:
"I was singing '9 to 5' and I choked and forgot the words in front of the president and in front of Dolly Parton, who's like the president to
me. And the last time I sang in front of the president , I had messed up the lyrics to 'God Bless America' so its kind of a thing I have with George W.
Anyway, I broke down and said I'm sorry in front of the whole audience. My dad was there. I looked him in the face and said, 'I will never sing
again.' "
On feeling like America's most wanted:
"So many people want to bring me down, and I can't wait to prove them wrong. If they believe what they read about me, they automatically persecute and
torment me."
On her father and manager, Joe Simpson, running his daughter's love life and career:
"That's Ludicrous. He just wants me to be happy. Our whole family gets beaten, but that just brings us closer. So people are really doing themselves a
disservice."
On her rocky love life:
"I was going through a lot of pain. I didn't try anything to change my life other than dating different types of guys and conforming to their worlds.
I thought I had to be artsier, more intellectual."
On her relationship with John Mayer:
"John believed in the Jessica Simpson that's within. He cherished our love. He helped make me t he woman I am today. John is going to be an amazing
man for someone, but I know that I was supposed to be with someone else."
On recording a song about abuse:
"I had to record that. There's nothing on my album that you're gonna hear that I don't relate to or that I haven't experienced. Because
the only way I know how to sing is from life experience. I don't want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in away that I would tell
people to take their heart and run."
On Tony Romo:
"Most of the guys I dated were captivated by my heart but they had different ways of trying to get to me. Tony understands me. He appreciates my talent.
He's the first person I've spiritually connected with. I'm a girl that loves to be in love. I love love!"
@ her clothes. She doesn't know the meaning of subtle.
