Jessica Simpson could be back on the small screen in her own reality series about the making of her upcoming country album. Simpson is supposedly in talks with CMT. What kind of show will Simpson do? No-one really knows. Simpson’s reps are saying it is not for a reality show and then of course there’s the country singer’s father Joe who has said otherwise to Entertainment Weekly. “With Newlyweds, she let everyone into her world. Then she had to shut the world out. Now she can open it up again so people can see, here’s a girl struggling with self-esteem and finding her way. Country music is about storytelling, after all.” It looks like Joe’s blinded by all that green!
