Jessica Simpson: Don't Judge Me
(Filed under: Music News)
The remake of Dukes of Hazzard doesn't open until August 5, but there's already plenty of talk about the questionable remake, including its soundtrack which includes a Jessica Simpson cover of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" (the song also features Willie Nelson, but you can hardly hear him over Simpsons' sultriness). The video features a scantily-clad Simpson trapsing all over in her boots, though the emphasis is definitely on her booty, especially when she washes the General Lee.
A "Christian" organization called the Resistance (which is really more interested in end of the world conspiracy theories) have expressed outrage over her stripper moves in the video, prompting a response from Simpson herself:
"It didn't really surprise me because I grew up with a lot of that backlash. That's why I didn't end up going into the Christian music industry. I think that if they're really good Christians the judgment wouldn't be there."
Since Simpson has asked us not to judge, we won't ask why she bothered responding to such a group in the first place. But there's nothing like equating the Christian music industry with a group that believes 9/11 was an inside job.
