No Talent To See Here.  Move Along. What do you do if you don't have much talent, yet are appearing on a live television broadcast?  Saturday Night Live for instance. What do you do if you are all set to begin lip-synching to cover-up the fact that you don't have much talent, yet the audio guy in the booth plays the wrong vocal track for the song your band is "playing"? What do you do to cover-up the fact that you are a lip-synching, talentless, 14 going on 15 minutes of fame, sister of an equally lip-synching, talentless, 14 going on 15 minutes of Hall of Famer? What do you do?  Ask Ashlee Simpson.  She knows. She appeared on Saturday Night Live last night and, well, she could have hoped for better. The sites hosting the clips: One version of the song and Ashlee Simpson's pitiful cover-up Another site hosting the clips Yet another host 2:29:03 PM     |

Crossfire Follow-up If you haven't yet seen the clip of Jon Stewart on Crossfire last week, then go ahead and do so now. Even after seeing it a few times, I'm still amazed that made it onto live television. Now while I don't have a follow-up clip of what the Crossfire folks had to say on their next show, I do have Jon Stewart's recap: "What did I do on friday?  Got a haircut...  Called a guy a dick on national television..."
