Country icon Dolly Parton released a statement earlier today supporting Jessica Simpson and the embarrassing performance she gave at the Kennedy Center Honors last weekend.

From People:

“Jessica is so talented that I’m sure that someday they will be paying tribute to her and I would be honored to perform for her,” Parton said in a statement Thursday. “But I’ll probably be so nervous that I’ll forget my wig!”

On Sunday, Simpson was paying tribute to Parton by singing her famous song before a packed audience, which included President Bush and the First Lady, when she botched the lines and then fled the stage in tears.

“Dolly you make me so nervous. I can’t even sing the words right,” Simpson said at the time.

Let’s forget for a moment that Dolly Parton’s face resembles that of my mask from last month’s Day of the Dead celebration and instead concentrate on who the hell she thinks she’s fooling with that bullshit statement of hers. Me maybe? You? Yeah, not bloody likely.

Sorry Dolly, but unless you count an E! Hollywood story as some kind of tribute, I doubt you’re ever going to get a chance to perform in honor of Jessica Simpson. Unless, of course, she dies in a plane crash right fucking now. Then maybe, just maybe, twenty years from now, people will look back on Jessica Simpson and say, “Wow, that girl had so much potential. Let’s have a tribute.” instead of saying, “Well, if we can’t get Debbie Gibson or Tiffany for the grand opening, how about Jessica Simpson?”
