SIMPSON THUMBS HER NOSE AT CRITICS

Ashlee Simpson is determined to stay optimistic about her career, despite being booed by 72,000 people at the Orange Bowl half-time show in Miami last week. Simpson tells MTV News, "There was some booing that went on after the half-time show was finished. If they didn't like the performance--and that's what it was about--then sorry to them."

The Oklahoma Sooners and the University of Southern California Trojans battled for the national college football championship at the Orange Bowl. Simpson speculated that it was the Oklahoma Sooners fans booing her because a film clip of her rooting for USC was shown before her performance.

Simpson says the Orange Bowl performance and her lip-synching mishap on Saturday Night Live a few months ago was a learning experience. She says, "I go from having a Number One album and things going great and all of a sudden SNL happens and boom! You're faced with how mean people can be and criticizing you and stuff...But I've learned a lot about myself. I'm still 20, and a new artist, and I will only grow."

Simpson kicks off her first concert tour on February 16th in Anaheim, California.

Ashlee Simpson and the Orange Bowl

Ashlee Simpson charms crowds once again with her singing abilities.

As if it weren't painful enough watching the Sooners lose the Orange Bowl with a score of 55-19, the audience had to endure a torture session from Ashlee Simpson.

From the E! Online news file:

In a performance preserved for all eternity on the Internet, and broadcast by ABC during halftime of the national championship-determining college football game, a strutting Simpson belted, some say screeched, her Autobiography cut "La La." At the conclusion of the number, the crown jeered, some say booed. One particularly vocal critic could be heard shouting, "You suck"--at least in the clip found on the Simpson-monitoring site, LipSync.us. You can visit the site by clicking here http://www.lipsync.us.

And it wasn't just Orange Bowl attendees whose ears were offended by Simpson's routine. In a commentary on MSNBC.com, Michael Ventre wrote that Simpson's singing "sounded like a cross between a political prisoner being tortured and a test of the Emergency Broadcast System."

Sound issues on the telecast marred half-time numbers by American Idol's Kelly Clarkson a
and country singer Trace Adkins, but neither of those performances inspired the boo-birds to come out.

A call seeking comment from Simpson's publicist was not returned Wednesday.

The Simpson camp has been in damage-control mode since a lip-synching scandal shocked--shocked!--the world and/or the 20-year-old popster's impressionable fan base back in October on Saturday Night Live.

Britney Spears New Song? She is not retiring??

Just weeks after Britney Spears announced that she was taking an extended break from her career to focus on her family, she's plunging into work on a new album. A spokesperson from Jive Records confirmed that Spears is in the "very early" stages of working on an album, which is not yet on the label's release schedule.

In a surprise visit, Spears played a rough mix of a song from the album Thursday night on KIIS-FM in Los Angeles to get some fan reaction. "We got a call on the request line from Britney Spears saying she wanted to come by and play her new song," KIIS-FM music director Julie Pilat said.
"Then she showed up and world-premiered her new song," which is called "Mona Lisa."

"It definitely has the raw thing going on it," Spears said during her station visit. "I recorded this song when I was on tour, right before I hurt my knee [see "Britney's Fall: The Never-Before-Seen Footage"]. It was done, I think, four or five months ago. My band, we didn't use ProTools or anything with it. It's all live. There's a lot of stuff you can do to make it better. It's going to get better. It will get better — this is a really, really rough mix."

Spears dedicated the song — a slinky, midtempo number with a descending synth line that recalls 'NSYNC's "It's Gonna Be Me" — to all the "legends and icons out there." The song's lyrics begin, "Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a story to tell/ About Mona Lisa, and how she suddenly fell/ See, everyone knew her, they knew her so well/ Now I am taking over to release her from her spell." The song continues to lament Mona Lisa's "fall," calling her "unforgettable" and "unpredictable," and cautions listeners not to have a "breakdown": "You will hit the freakin' wall."

Though Spears said she wants "Mona Lisa" to be the first single from the new album, she hasn't yet decided on a title for the project, though she's leaning toward The Original Doll. "It's untitled right now," she said during her visit to KIIS-FM. "It's not even all the way done." She also said that she hoped to release the album "probably before summertime, or maybe a little sooner than that."

The Unofficial Official Sobriety Test

If you didn't tune in for the Boogie and Indie Annual New Year's Eve Show then you missed quite a party. Derek the Intern consumed Crown Royal shots all morning to show the effects of alcohol. This was done as a community service to show our listeners how alcohol can slow your reflexes and turn your mind to mush after just a couple cocktails. Okay it was really just an excuse to get Derek totally buzzed and make him do stupid human tricks.

Thanks to Master Officer Steve Martin and the Lawton Police Department for stopping by to conduct a field sobriety test on Derek "the drunk" Intern.

Thanks to Derek for always doing what's best for "the good of the show" and keeping Boogie and I entertained. Besides it was a great excuse for you to get loaded before 9 am.
