NBC has said thanks, but no thanks to the possibility of offering Ashlee Simpson a slot on Saturday Night Live to promote her new album Bittersweet World . The 2004 lip-syncing nightmare might have been a heavy weight in the consideration process.
An insider told the NY Post that Ashlee’s father/manager, Joe Simpson, tried to get her a spot on SNL, but producers said no because she was ‘a pain’ during her last visit.
Her rep, however, claimed,
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.
Riiiight.
