This is funny:
In the key of fake
Teen songbird Ashlee Simpson had a microphone malfunction on "Saturday Night Live" last night, scurrying off stage when a production glitch caught her lip-synching the wrong tune.
The pop star, younger sister of singer and TV star Jessica Simpson, sounded great belting out "Pieces of Me" in her first segment on the show. It was the same song that she butchered at August's MTV Music Video Awards, drawing withering reviews for a flat, out of key performance.
But the triumphant moment turned into a debacle when she came out to debut the song "Autobiography" for a second set. But whoever was responsible for piping in a studio-engineered rendition for Simpson to mouth screwed up, playing "Pieces" once again.
The raven-haired beauty hopped around briefly, then slinked off the stage as her hapless band half-heartedly faked away. It didn't take long for critics to vent their rage on Ashlee Simpson's official Web site.
"Finally, you're exposed for the fraud that you are," wrote an E-mail poster named drdrewby minutes after the embarrassing performance. "You have cheated your fans and people who actually thought that you had a lick of talent. You should quit the music business because you are now and always will be a complete and utter joke."
Said CowboyJeff99: "I knew she sounded like crap live, so I was 'wondering' what was going on when her voice sounded just like the radio edit."
When the cast of the live show came out to bid the audience good night, actor Jude Law tried to explain Simpson's slipup.
"What can I say folks, live TV," Law shrugged.
A still-humiliated Simpson apologized to her fans - and blamed her band for playing the wrong song.

I recorded SNL last night...and just got done watching it a few minutes ago. I saw the Ashlee Simpson debacle. WTF? It really wasn't a big deal...she should have stayed out there and sung her song...sung anything...made something up. But then again, she's just a puppet, so you can't expect her to "wing it." |

It makes me sick to hear on the radio some song by a talentless hack with an almost monotonous voice.

Stupid bitch. She should have just started singing anything. Hell, even do some stand-up comedy. I know I would. It was so HOWE at the end when she said "My band played the wrong song, so I just danced a hoedown." Yeah, that's cool, Ashlee. I guess next time I'm put on the spot, I'll just dance a stupid jig. I will say that I think her sister is really pretty and has a great figure. I thought that years ago, when she first hit the music scene, and was pitted against those two ugmos--Britney and Christina. |

Yeah, but Gyps, her sister is one of those rare individuals whose attractiveness level plummets when they begin to speak. Its a ten foot pole type sitch. You and me would have a lot more fun romping on a king size with the lil' lip syncher. |

And, her record will still sell more than "Live Licks". A cargo ship more. You can all quote me on that.
Music sucks!
Still, i'd do her.

Speaking of whom.....
Christina to appear in The Simpsons
Christina Aguilera is to appear in an episode of The Simpsons.
The singer features as a pop star wannabe when Lisa enters a Pop Idol-type show, reports The Sun.
The new series of The Simpsons is being shown on Channel 4 at 9pm from November 5.
It is the first time the animated series has been shown on terrestrial TV at primetime, reports the Daily Mirror.

Well, it's ingenious actually. Her manager can now slap a "LIVE!" on the same record and watch as her hapless fans line up for her first live offering. That's what my lawyer would do, anyway.

Simpson Dad Blames Acid Reflux for Gaffe
By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer
NEW YORK - If Ashlee Simpson's stomach was upset Saturday night, imagine how she's feeling now. Busted for a "Saturday Night Live" lip-synch gone awry, her manager-father said Monday his 19-year-old daughter used the extra help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse.

Debbie Gibson had more than a couple of hits.
Maybe Kath is thinking of Tiffany.

Tiffany only had one hit.
Maybe it really is Ricky Martin? |
