Ok, we admittedly have no place to make such a suggestion. But we’re still annoyed that Perez Hilton tried to pull some misleading lulz from the ticket price for Jessica Simpson‘s performance at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida.
Compared to relative newcomer’s Taylor Swift‘s $45 tickets, Simpson’s are going for only $25-30.
Even redneck Jeff Foxworthy is billed higher at $35 a pop!!!!
Must be tough on poor Papa Joe – no one cares about his daughters anymore…It’s going to be a tough Christmas at the Simpson household this year!
You know who’s having an even tougher Christmas this year? Every other act performing at the Strawberry Festival. George Jones, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Kellie Pickler, Third Day, Randy Travis, Marty Stuart, Brenda Lee, Ray Stevens (“The Streak!”), Mel Tillis, Julianne Hough and—for variety’s sake, apparently—Kool and the Gang are all selling tickets at $15 each. By Perez’s logic, these broke-ass losers will all be offering handjobs for crack after the show.
Jessica may not be as big a country festival draw as Swift (who happened to have the best first week sales of any female recording artist this year) or Foxworthy (still an extremely popular comedian in the states Perez flies over), but they must expect this “relative newcomer” to outearn quite a few of the genre’s veterans—not to mention Kellie Pickler. Stick to drawing pee-pees on her face.
