Jessica Simpson’s apparently doing reasonably well in the field of country music, since she’s scheduled to appear on the Grand Ole Opry this Saturday. Sure, according to one Wisconsin writer, she hasn’t been terribly well-received by the country crowd, but when you’re on a bill with country legend Loretta Lynn, either something’s going right or the staff of the Opry finally tired of avoiding Joe’s phone calls. The show on Saturday is billed as a “Ladies’ Night,” and Patty Loveless and the wonderful Crystal Shawanda are also on the bill. Still, if Patsy Cline rises from her grave in zombie form to attack Simpson on stage, I might not be surprised. [Grand Ole Opry]
