Jessica Simpson: "Everybody's Always Out to Get Me"  3/2/06

Singer Jessica Simpson is convinced people are "out to get" her and has blasted the press for linking her to her Dukes of Hazzard co-star Johnny Knoxville last year (05).

The singer has spoken out for the first time about the "cruel" press reports about Knoxville, which helped fuel rumors her marriage was in trouble.

She says, "It's so cruel and I just try not to let it affect me, whatever everybody was thinking about me. If I did, I don't think I'd be here now.

"I can't save anything from being talked about because then it becomes this game, and it's not a fun game.

"I feel like everybody's always out to get me, and that's a weird feeling."
