Jessica Simpson made her country debut, opening for Sara Evans, Saturday night at Country Thunder. How did she do? Here’s what some of the fans in attendance had to say

"Just because she's dating Tony Romo it doesn't make her country," said Mike Rodriguez, 31. "She doesn't fit in with country, and I'll have to drink a lot of beer to sit through her concert."

Zach Schlodt, 19, says, "She's an embarrassment to country music."

"It's crap," said Ryan Sia, 28. "She doesn't belong here."

But Jessica disagreed with the crowd (who loudly booed her performance).

"I don't know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy, but I just want you to know that I'm just a girl from Texas. I'm just like you. I'm doing what I love and dating a boy," Simpson said.

We hate when people talk about themselves in the third person.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
