Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who announced plans to cancel her 2008 Summer Tour over the weekend, explained her reasons for scraping the tour in a humorous MySpace blog posted on Sunday.

In a post entitled, “The Dog Ate My Tour,” Ashlee writes:

Dear friends, fans, lurkers, stalkers and sh**talkers!
I’m really sorry to announce that I’m going to postpone my tour this summer.
My team gave me a few reasons I could use:
1. jury duty (but you can get out of jury duty once)
2. creative differences (but I’m a solo artist so that didn’t make sense)
3. not in the mood/have a headache (wait, that was an excuse for Pete! and it didn’t work. See next reason)
4. the baby
…and that’s where I drew the line.
The truth is I want to put on an amazing show for you the next time I come to your town. I promise I will be back, better than ever and ready to rock out. Until then,
Love,
Ashlee
