Oh brother….country singer Jessica Simpson was scheduled to be in New York last night to sing “Happy Birthday” to Elmo at Macy’s 150th anniversary party. She was way more than fashionably late, citing the weather as her excuse. She arrived just as the gig was wrapping up.
When the singer finally arrived at the event, which was attended by celebrities Eva Mendes, Tommy Hilfiger and Martha Stewart, she was very apologetic. Jessica lamented: “I wish I could be God and control the weather.”
If that wasn’t bad enough, she went on to say that her boyfriend Tony Romo had hoped that she would not be able to make the event because he had planned a special evening for the two of them. In true Jessica fashion, she told People magazine: “Tony was just praying that I wouldn’t make it out. I’m like, ‘Honey, I have to go.'”
Blah! We’re guessing that Elmo was thrilled that the singer didn’t sing. Word has it, he had earplugs in his pocket just in case.
