Jessica Simpson Dumps Her Label  3/27/06

Newly-single pop star Jessica Simpson has now dumped her record company.

Just four months after announcing the end of her three-year marriage to Nick Lachey, Simpson has signed with Epic, ending a seven-year deal with bosses at Columbia.

In a statement she says, "I love all my friends and supporters at Columbia. I will miss them as I start this new relationship.

"Epic is in a new place with a new leader. It just seems the right place for me as I begin my new journey."

The singer is reportedly working with top R&B producers Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Scott Storch on a follow-up to her hit 2003 album In This Skin for her new label.
