Poor Jessica Simpson. It just shows to go how tough being a singer is at times. Simpson caught a bout of laryngitis at the exact same precise moment her new album A Public Affair dropped. She’s had to cancel morning and late night talk show appearances and all sorts of terrible things, like resceduling a morning concert for the Today show. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Simpson actually sing less than Ashlee? I mean, her cover of “These Boots Are Made For Walkin'” basically had her pulling a breathy Lou Reed, all talk and no action. It’s funny how this shit runs in the family.
