I Dine On Soy Cheese.

What happened to Ashlee Simpson on SNL last night? I missed it.

I was laying on the couch websurfing, with SNL in the background--I was filled with loathing by Ashlee's initial tune--I mean, the tune was OK, but the lipsynching is an abomination, how can they let them do it on SNL? Is it not a litmus test, to be able to shine as a live act on national television?

Anyway, I wasn't watching, and the song started, and then I noticed out of the corner of my eye that, not more than a minute into the song, they cut to a picture of Jude Law, which stayed there for an uncomfortably long time, with the Ashlee tune going on vocal-less behind it. And then they went to a commercial.

What happened? At the curtain call at the end of the show, Ashlee Simpson, tucked under Jude Law's arm, said something like: I'm sorry! My band started playing the wrong song!

I suspect they accidentally played-back the same tune as the first time--a version of the old Milli Vanilli gaffe--leaving her holding the bag. But I didn't see. What happened?
