Blogger Boi From Troy writes in to inform us that Ashlee Simpson's disastrous Orange Bowl appearance was doomed from the minute the crowd heard her name. Before she opened her mouth to treat football fans to the sound of that Satan eating kittens must make, the boos were already raining down.

From being at the Orange Bowl game, I can tell you Simpson was booed when they announced the halftime lineup, when they introduced the performers, when she came on stage AND after that trainwreck of a performance. Meanwhile, the OB program listed Gwen Stefani as a performer. I wonder what happened?

A new mystery! Whither Gwen Stefani? Maybe she fled the stadium, fearing that the pitchforks and torches of the angry mob wouldn't discriminate between tiresome pop stars with acting aspirations.

UPDATE: When we say "mystery," we mean something that can easily be solved by readers who scan press releases. But what is this mysterious scheduling conflict? The plot thickens!
