Jessica Simpson - Simpson Slams Bad Luck Charm Status

JESSICA SIMPSON has hit out at fans of American football team the Dallas Cowboys, for dubbing her a bad luck charm.

Devotees of the Texas team turned on Simpson after her quarterback boyfriend Tony Romo under performed during games when she was watching in the stands.

She was even mocked by U.S. president George W. Bush last month (Apr08), when Super Bowl champions the New York Giants visited him in Washington D.C.

Bush told the team, who beat the Cowboys in a game Simpson supposedly jinxed, "We're gonna send Jessica Simpson to the Democratic National Convention."

But Simpson insists she had nothing to do with the team's bad performances, telling Glamour magazine, "I don't know - other than me wearing my man's jersey and cheering him on. And him not playing the way he would've hoped and all of a sudden I'm to blame.

"That was ludicrous. I don't understand why they think that I would be a distraction to Tony. Do they really think he can see way far up in that box? No. He's the most focused person I've ever dated."

Jack Johnson - Sleep Through the Static

Deuce long time on from his breakthrough album 'In Between Dreams', Jackstones Dr. Johnson, that purveyor of positive vibraphone and sun-soaked melodies, returns with 'Sleep Through the Static'. In what is his fourth offering, the Hawaiian singer-songwriter sticks to the saame rule which characterised his previous tercet efforts.
For fans of his, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. On his day, Andrew Johnson lavatory write four-minute folk/pop songs as perfect as any songster you're probably to feel. Warm acoustic guitar, funky bass-lines and the odd bit of reggae, combined with an uncanny ear for melody, are completely staple ingredients of his songs and more often than non he hits the right notes.
'If I Had Eyes' is the first bingle to get from the record album and ticks whole the supra boxes, a laidback, infectious number well-nigh losing that girl and not knowing if you'll win her back.
His pared polish, one-man-and-a-guitar songs are or so of the best on the album. 'Angel' and in specific 'Same Girl', with its irresistible crochet of a chorus, is i of the best he's ever written.
However, although Johnson's tried and tested formula isn't a bad thing, it throne be likewise much of a good thing. Too many times there's a sentience that we've been here before. The album's title-track, for example, both in line and lyrics, is nearly a knockoff of 'Inaudible Melodies', the number 1 song from his debut 'Brushfire Fairytales'.
The second one-half of 'Sleep Through and through the Static' has a darker incline to it, only with no real instrumental or tempo change the differences tend to go unnoticed.
Only in the remainder these shortcomings are just now nipper grumbles.
Dr. Johnson belike knows he'll never create an 'In Rainbows' or 'Blonde on Blonde'. You get the feeling he doesn't look to mind. Anyone world Health Organization buys this platter looking to escape a rainy Irish afternoon and go somewhere sunnier won't mind either.
