I am the only one secretly tracking the trials of Ashlee Simpson, the patron saint of lame excuses? I could almost understand the SNL snafu, although acid reflux was a bit much. But then, getting flat booed off the stage by an entire stadium full of people at the Orange Bowl.

I love DSL. Can I get an amen?
