Ashlee Simpson says she wasn't actually drunk during a recent radio interview, and blamed her slurred words and giggle fits on her busy schedule.
On her MySpace blog, Ash says that it was "very upsetting to hear that people are saying that I was intoxicated ... I take my work very seriously and would never disrespect anyone." Lil' Simpson says she has had a "crazy hectic schedule" and somehow felt that she was going to be ambushed by the show's hosts.
As for forgetting the lyrics to her new song, well, we know that just runs in the family.

John Mellencamp and Leonard Cohen are amongst the other nominees.
