After realizing she’s made a bigger idiot of herself than even she thought possible, Jessica Simpson has requested her Dolly Parton tribute performance be removed from an upcoming broadcast.

Chestica screwed up the words to the classic Dolly ditty “9 to 5″ at this month’s Kennedy Center Honors. She mumbled something about being so nervous and performed the song once more in a version to be used in the broadcast.

It’s pretty hard to feel bad for you, Jess, when it’s your flippin’ job to perform in high-pressure situations (i.e. in front of people). I pulled out my Team Lachey t-shirt when I heard you apparently also messed up the words on your second try.

She’s now opted to have the whole she-bang axed, reports TMZ.com.

“She really wasn’t happy with her performance and she did want it to be perfect for Dolly, who she idolizes,” Jess’ publicist Cindi Berger said in a statement.

The Kennedy Center apparently had no problems cutting out Jess’ performance, saying in a statement: “… we respect the high standards she has for herself and that of the Kennedy Center Honors.”

The ceremony will be broadcast Dec. 26 on CBS, but J.Simps’ vocal faux pas can be easily viewed on YouTube.
