Ashlee Simpson's performance Tuesday at the Orange Bowl gave the teen popster another reason to turn red. The singer, who was caught lip-synching on 'Saturday Night Live' in October, was loudly booed as she finished singing - yes, she actually was singing this time - during the halftime show.
Kelly Clarkson of 'American Idol' fame and country star Trace Adkins sang for the Miami crowd before Simpson delivered a less-than-rousing number between halves of the battle between the Oklahoma Sooners and the University of Southern California Trojans.
During a preshow interview, Simpson, 19, revealed her New Year's resolution: to learn to cook and clean. (She didn't mention singing.)"

Pop stars have a rough gig, especially those as artificial as Ashlee Simpson. More plastic than a well-worn lunch tray, the younger Simpson sib has conned indiscriminate music purchasers into buying a stunning 2.5 million copies of her debut album. Following the path blazed by older sis Jessica, Ashlee landed her own MTV reality show chronicling the making of Autobiography. As was evident to anyone who watched the show (and lots of you did, judging by Ashlee's search popularity last summer), the wannabe punkette was vocally challenged.
Her off-key trilling proved no obstacle to recognition, as searches on the 'other' Simpson sister surged throughout the fall, almost eclipsing Jessica's search numbers a few times. Differentiating herself with a bad black dye job and a 'rawer' sound than the bland pop of Jessica, Ashlee saw her star rising until she appeared on Saturday Night Live. After an onstage meltdown that led to charges of backing tracks, lip-syncing, and ultimately acid reflux, searches soared as Internet denizens clamored to see the clip of Ashlee's onstage blunder. After that misstep, she redeemed herself by putting on a brave front and singing live at friendly award shows and the like, where her courage in the face of misfortune was lauded."
