According to Saturday Night Live, the "new" Ashlee Simpson won't be allowed back on the show anytime soon. She apparently burned that bridge when she was busted for lipsincing - to the wrong song - on SNL back in 2004. Even a nose job hasn't convinced the venerable sketch comedy program to give her another chance just yet.
CORRECTION: Ashlee has been on SNL since 2004, but insiders claim she was such a "pain" to deal with that she won't be invited back.
That rock n' roll party foul should have cost her her career. At the time, Simpson's "garage band" style voice was simply that; only fit for a garage. Even by rock standards she sounded awful, as if she were yelling over her band just to be heard. She was actually booed at the Orange Bowl in 2005. Of course, with Joe Simpson behind you, it's hard to keep a good singer - or even Ashlee - down.
Joe, Ashlee's father, has been trying to get her back on SNL. The move is designed, presumably, to invigorate Ashlee's non-existent career. With a new look and a new album, he hopes she can return to the scene, make amends, and let by-gones be. Good luck. Sometimes, though, bad is just bad.
Mr. Simpson, I realize she's your little girl and you'd do anything for her, but not EVERYONE can be a quality performer. You'll just have to get over that. So she can't sing and doesn't have much charisma. She's still famous and beautiful, and in the celebrity world, that's plenty. Just look at all the other worthless celebutantes out there like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. Seriously, man, what do they do? Ashlee will be fine without the bogus singing career.
Then again, you might want to encourage her to make a sex tape....just in case.
In case you didn't know, Ashlee has already been back on SNL since that mishap. She was on after the release of her 2nd album. She'll be back on after the release of her 3rd album I'm sure.
