October 6, 2000 - Jessica Simpson is putting both Britney and Christina on blast, according to today's report from Entertaindom.com. Says Simpson of Aguilera, "Christina and I talk, and I think she's a great person underneath the facade. She is very big right now; she definitely knows she has sold eight million records and I don't really like that in people. I don't think you should act like that. I don't think you should block the halls off when you want to walk down the hall. It's important to stay normal, but people lose their heads in this business. They lose who they are as people.

I think people gave her such a hard time about it she might have gone back to undo it or something. That's sad. Personally, I don't believe in it."
