Simpson Dad Blames Acid Reflux for Gaffe

[IChing]

Just to take your mind off 8 days

If Ashlee Simpson's stomach was upset Saturday night, imagine how she's feeling now. The 19-year-old singer was busted for a "Saturday Night Live" lip-synch gone awry. Her manager-father said Monday his daughter used the extra help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse.

"Just like any artist in America, she has a backing track that she pushes so you don't have to hear her croak through a song on national television," Joe Simpson told Ryan Seacrest on Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM. "No one wants to hear that."

1. Jim Morrison had no problem croaking through despite acid.

Kids these days, they just ain't got no stamina. Nice hooters though.....

17. Artist? Her?

No way, just like big belt buckles are art...

5. The McSimpsons can't sing

but they know how to package themselves to make $$ off the grade school girls.

God - the music scene has been capitalized into one big joke. How sad.

She has a message board on her website and whether some one hacked her user name or she's really a bigger air head than her sister it's hard to tell, but this was posted by her userid on her website:
