Jessica Simpson's Tony support

Jessica Simpson has vowed to continue supporting her American football star boyfriend, despite being branded a "jinx".

The singer is not worried by reports that Tony Romo's teammates believe she is bad luck, and won't let it stop her attending his matches.

She said: "That jinx story was absolutely ridiculous. I won't be wearing my jersey to games anymore, but I have been there and definitely going to support the Dallas Cowboys all the way."

Jessica - who will soon release her debut country album 'Do You Know' - also revealed her reasons for her new musical direction.

She added to US TV show 'Extra': "Country was just something that's in my bones. It's in my blood. It's in my voice. It's in my heart and I just wanted to pack my stuff up and go to Nashville and write with some of my favourite songwriters."

Generous aunt Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson can't wait for her younger sister Ashlee to give birth.

The 28-year-old singer thinks she will make an amazing aunt to Ashlee's baby, and intends to be extravagant with gifts for her niece or nephew.

She told E! News: "I'm going to spoil the kid rotten, that's for sure. I think my sister's going to be pretty strict, actually, because she's been so good throughout her pregnancy."

Jessica also revealed she can't believe 23-year-old Ashlee is soon to become a parent.

She added: "Ashlee is just such a woman. I'm like, 'Oh, my gosh - what's happened to my sister?' "

Meanwhile, Ashlee's husband Pete has dispelled rumours the couple are having twins.

Reports that Pete's musician friend Tyga had confirmed the pair will soon be welcoming two bundles of joy into the world are untrue, Pete has revealed.
Pete, 29, said: "It's going to be a big disappointment when it's only one! I think I started the rumour about twins!"

Retired actress Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson has no plans to return to acting.

The singer - who starred as Daisy Duke in movie 'The Dukes of Hazzard' and has since appeared in films including 'Blonde Ambition' and 'Employee of the Month' - admits she has lost her appetite for the industry following the lack of interest in her latest movie ventures.

She said: "I'm not closing that chapter of my life by any means. But I am all about the music right now. When it comes to acting, it's got to feel right for me at this point in my life.

"It's got to just be a really incredible director and production with an awesome studio and great cast. But for me right now Jessica Simpson is music."

Jessica - who will soon release her debut country album 'Do You Know' - also revealed she began to lose confidence in her vocal talents following her shambolic performance of Dolly Parton's '9 To 5'.

She added: "You know, what happened at Kennedy Center, I really thought I was done singing. I was just at a place where I'd lost a lot of confidence and I didn't even know who I was. But Dolly totally took me under her wing and helped me up and over the cares of the world.

"It went from the Kennedy Center to her being a part of this record and getting letters from her of encouragement. She told me she's never been more proud of anything in her whole life. And I have it written down in her handwriting! I do owe a lot of my confidence to her."
The 28-year-old star added she now wants to inspire other young singers.

She told E! News: "On stage, when I say, 'Thank you for giving me a second chance,' I feel like I'm having a comeback. I'm on solid ground again. They can look to me for inspiration. I want to be a role model."
