American Idol winner Carrie Underwood has drawn first blood in her bitter fight with country music rival, Jessica Simpson, dissing the busty blonde’s singing ability and her apparent weight gain.

A pal of Underwood’s told OK! magazine: “[Carrie] finds Jessica’s love of putting her life on display pretty desperate.”

When Underwood saw Jessica’s new cover story with People magazine – the one where she gushes about how Tony Romo (Carrie’s ex) is the love of her life – things got even cattier.

“[Underwood] laughed at the People cover,” the friend explained, “because it’s the same one Jess did about John Mayer [back when they were "in love"] – same smile, same look, except she’s a little fatter.”

Ouch! And that’s not all the Idol singer had to say about her bustier rival!

“Carrie doesn’t think fans will spend money to watch Jess warble through a few badly written songs,” Underwood’s pal added.

I’d tend to agree with that last part…

Lindsay Lohan and her father Michael are involved in a bitter war of words, after born-again Christian Michael slammed his daughter’s best friend (and alleged girlfriend) Samantha Ronson earlier in the week.

Michael called Ronson a “parasite,” and said that Lindsay needed to wise up and take notice of those that were just using her for her fame.

“He’s out of control!” Lindsay said yesterday, in response to her father’s taunts.

Today, Michael Lohan has again hit back at his daughter’s words, telling ABCNews.com:

“Who’s out of control? Whose life is out of control? Give me a break!

“Going from place to place, being dragged around by Samantha so she can make more money off of Lindsay being there when she spins… [Lindsay's] gone from making $7 million to less than a million a movie. Who’s out of control?”

Michael added: “I go to church. I go and help people in rehab. That’s control. How can she say I’m out of control?”

Lindsay and Samantha have already responded to Michael’s latest comments. To read what they had to say this time, click here.
