better off saying “No.”Singer Ashlee Simpson got candid Monday after revealing that her infamous lip-syncing scandal on “Saturday Night Live” in 2004 taught her “the power of saying no.” “I’ve never talked about or said, but it’s like the other thing is, learning as a woman, when you say no or as an artist or a human or whatever, that day I said ‘I will not go on, I don’t care.

“I can’t do this.”The “Nothing New” singer did end up performing the song without incident. Yet, when she went on to perform for a second time, a glitch occurred where the studio accidentally played the vocal track over, revealing the ruse.
Despite the track only playing for a few seconds, several fans were quick to lambaste the singer. According to Simpson, the entire ordeal taught her “the power of my no” and “the power of me saying absolutely not.”“I feel like it was a humbling moment for me,” she continued.
“I had the number one song, it was, like, everything was about go, like, somewhere and then it was just, like, woah. The humility of not even understanding what grown ass people would say about you, awful, awful things.”The

Stephen Saito “I Love You Forever” has all the trappings of a romantic comedy, for better or worse.
