Ashlee Simpson “Saturday Night Live” Snub
So much for Ashlee Simpson’s Saturday Night Live do-over aspirations. SNL producers recently rejected Ashlee’s offer to appear as a featured musical guest on the show later this Spring. The youngest of the Simpson sisters, who was infamously caught lip-synching on the classic sketch comedy show in 2004, will release her third album, entitled Bittersweet World, on April 22nd.
The New York Post reports:
…Joe Simpson, “wanted her to go on ‘SNL’ – where her first appearance, in 2004, was marred by her lip-synching fiasco – and they said no.” Word is Ashlee was “a pain” during her time at “SNL” and the producers have notoriously long memories. A rep for Ashlee said, “We’re not doing ‘SNL’ because they’re dark the week we are here in April and there were no other opportunities later in the year.”
