'60 MINUTES' CAMERAS CAPTURED ASHLEE SIMPSON INCIDENT FROM BACKSTAGE AT 'SNL'
Thu Oct 28 2004 15:43:44 ET

When Ashlee Simpson ran off the "Saturday Night Live" stage last week after her lip-sinc flap, 60 MINUTES cameras were there to record her embarrassing exit and the reaction from show creator Lorne Michaels and other shocked staff members of the show. The exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the incident will be part of a Lesley Stahl report about the making of the venerable comedy program to be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, Oct. 31 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Stahl and her cameras were also present for the dress rehearsal of Simpson's performance when she also ran off stage because her voice failed her, necessitating the now notorious live lip-sinc performance that backfired.

60 MINUTES was at the show last Saturday night because Stahl had been shooting footage and interviews all week for a report on how the show is put together. Viewers this Sunday will learn and see how the show is conceived, written and produced each week.

Seriously, who gives a fuck if she lip sync'd it or not? The media makes a big deal over thie smallest of issues. She was brought as the music portion of the event. She sang, or pretended to sing. Then she left.

Funny, old TV shows (Ed Sullivan, Mike Douglas Show, etc...)had musical guests and they sang to recordings and yet no one ever made an issue of it.

Who cares....move on you media pieces of trash. Do something useful with your time like reporting on why it's so easy to go online to find directions on how to make a bomb...assholes.
