Jessica Simpson Hits the Dixon May Fair Sat, 9-May-2009
Though her country music career has been a bit of a disappointment, Jessica Simpson isn’t throwing in the towel just yet. And last night (May 8) she was spotted performing at the Dixon May Fair in Dixon, California.
The “Come on Over” cutie took the stage for a southern-fried set of tunes, looking beautiful in a black floral print dress with a black cardigan and black heels.
As for her show at SeaWorld in San Diego tonight (May 9), it sounds like Jessica has already received a nasty letter from PETA’s Michelle Cho, requesting that she pull out of the gig.
Cho wrote, "As someone who is used to living in a fishbowl and having the public weigh in on her every move, you might like to give some thought to the animals who are forced to be 'on display' their entire lives. Imagine being forced to do stupid tricks and swim endless circles in a bathtub. Life for whales, dolphins, polar bears, and fish who live in tanks and cages is like a bad reality show that plays 24/7. There are no commercial breaks, and the show is never cancelled.”
The letter continued, "In 2004, the stress of performing at SeaWorld proved to be too much for one orca (whale) named Ky. After becoming agitated during a show, Ky attacked and repeatedly slammed his trainer underwater as a packed crowd looked on in horror. SeaWorld, which owns most of the captive orcas and dolphins in the U.S., has one of the worst animal-care records in the country. Countless animals have lived and died in misery in these marine theme parks. We're asking you to support the dolphins. Please reconsider your decision to perform at SeaWorld and promise not to appear at venues that exploit animals in the future." |
