Ashlee Simpson to Perform Live for AOL
NEW YORK — Ashlee Simpson is getting behind the mic again – only this time, she’s promising it will be live.
Simpson, whose lip-synch-gone-awry on NBC’s "Saturday Night Live" in October made her an instant punch line, will headline a concert for AOL Monday in Los Angeles, AOL told The Associated Press Friday.
"I’m really looking forward to doing this special AOL concert," said Simpson, 19, in a statement. "I had so much fun recording for `Sessions’ "at" AOL, and performing for a live audience of so many people online is going to be really exciting."
The concert will be held at the El Rey Theatre and broadcast live on AOL’s radio network and also for its broadband customers.
Previous performers at AOL’s concerts have included Usher, Nelly, Toby Keith and Avril Lavigne.
Simpson’s debut album, "Autobiography," has sold more than 2 million copies, and this week, MTV announced it was renewing her reality show, "The Ashlee Simpson Show," for a second season.
Simpson is the younger sister of Jessica Simpson. MTV also has confirmed that it is renewing "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica," the reality series featuring Jessica and husband Nick Lachey, for a third season.
