A Silent Simpson Parties On

Jessica Simpson: Click to watchDespite losing her voice to "a strain, a bruise on her vocal chord," Jessica Simpson was in good spirits last night as she celebrated the release of her new album, "A Public Affair."

The blonde Texan hosted a roller skating party thrown by Yahoo! at tacky disco haven The Roxy in New York City. While Simpson donned her skates for a few laps around the rink (albeit poorly), she was unable to perform any songs from the album. "My voice is completely gone. The album is all part of who I am right now," a hoarse Jessica told reporters. "I wish I could sing it for them right now, but there's no way."

The pop-princess canceled her appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" yesterday, but she did stop by "TRL" to promote the album for her faithful MTV audience. Jessica also promised to make an appearance on the ever-important red carpet at tomorrow night's Video Music Awards.

Though she was instructed not to talk until her voice was healed, Papa Joe Simpson explained why she tried her luck, saying, "We've done the best we could to sit on her and say don't talk and be still, and you know, let time pass. This is her moment. This record is from her heart -- it's something she wants to share with her fans. This is her moment for her to be excited."

We have no idea who is going to buy this record. Then again, we have no idea how 75,000 people actually went out and bought Paris Hilton's piece of junk.

This all seems WAY to convenient for me... has it occurred to anyone that this girl is incapable of singing live (well) and "losing her voice" gets her out of having to humiliate herself in public? At least she's not blaming it on acid reflux like her fugly-ass sister...

It's a good thing she don't get to sing. Who the hell wants to see the ugly faces she makes while she's singing. This assless bitch wants to be putting down Nick's song, while her's sucks. I liked you at first only because you were with Nick, but now I wish you'd go back to where Mtv dugged you out from. It's a good thing you want to keep your new man John Mayer private, cuz no one wants to see your ugly asses out in public anyway. I can't believe you go from someone as good looking as Nick to this piece of trash, oh wait is that all you can get cuz no one else wants you. I'm glad Nick atleast ended up with someone thats allot better looking then you. Everyone knows you're jealous!!!!!!!

my opinion:  1992 days ago

You know the funny thing is that everyone makes fun of K-Fed saying that he wouldn't be anyone without Britney. Well, IT'S THE SAME WITH JESSICA!!! Who/where would she be without Nick Lachey bringing her into the limelight? Hey......maybe Jess and K-Dog should get together----at least they have THAT in common.
