Despite widespread reports that Jessica Simpson had been dropped by her label Columbia Nashville (a division of Sony), her rep explains that she is still signed on with her original label Epic.

Jessica's rep tells OK! that she "is and has always been an Epic artist. She was on loan to Sony Nashville for her country album. She continues to be on Epic's label."

So basically Jessica Simpson had been such a failure at Epic (an Epic FAIL if you will), they didn't even care if she produced an entire album with another label, figuring if she actually sold albums for once maybe they could finally make some money off of her. If you think about it, Jessica Simpson is probably the least successful famous singer of all time and if it wasn't for that damn reality show she would have faded into obscurity by now. Looking at career sales numbers, her sister Ashlee absolutely slaughters her, as does anyone else you've ever heard of.
