ASHLEE SIMPSON COLLAPSES.

Ashlee Simpson collapsed Thursday and was hospitalized, shortly after a performance on MTV Japan. US Weekly is reporting that after Ashlee performed her hit song "Boyfriend," she told the audience she didn't feel well, thanked them and left the stage. Moments later she collapsed in an elevator. There has been no official report about the reason for the collapse, but the old "exhaustion" excuse (uh oh..) was thrown into the mix by an unnamed source close to the family. This source told US Weekly, "she's wanted to prove over and over to her fans that she can perform live after what happened on SNL last year." If you ask me, I think "unnamed source" can also be spelled as, "papa joe." How else does US Weekly seem to keep breaking these Simpson stories? Agh, Papa Joe or not, let's wish Ashlee a speedy recovery.... It's Christmastime! It's sad that the SNL incident keeps haunting her. People don't have to like her dad, ashlee, or like the type of music she makes, but she has proved that she can sing just fine, so let's just get over it. Give the poor girl a break.
