Ashlee Simpson wasn't lying!

In case you missed it or haven't heard about it, Ashlee Simpson got busted lip synching on last week's Saturday Night Live. She synched the first song, then when she went to sing the 2nd number they accidentally played her first song again and she was clearly not singing. Ashlee first blamed her band for playing the wrong song, then her rep said she had acid reflux and lost her voice, then they said she had laryngitis, and a slew of excuses came out.


It turns out that a crew from CBS's 60 Minutes were doing a story about SNL's creative process and were rolling tape during Ashlee's rehearsal. They have video of her barely getting through the rehearsal, then running off stage crying and holding her throat. They also show the actually live mess up, and Ashlee running offstage again. It also shows an SNL rep coming out of Ashlee's dressing room saying, "Oh my god!"

I think it's a pretty interesting story to follow. It's no secret that many artists out there today lipsynch or sing along to tracks at live performances, but this is the first real incident of someone getting busted since Milli Vanilli! Luckily for Ashlee the old saying holds true: Any publicity is good publicity.
