Jessica Simpson proves once again that you don’t need to memorize the words to a song to be a singer. As long as you look good in Daisy Dukes, and can use cheat sheets in the recording studio, you can call yourself a recording star.
For the seventh time this year, Simpson was left red-faced and teary-eyed at a concert when she forgot the lyrics to two of her songs.

“I’m changing the name of the Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids with Cancer to the Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids with cancer and me,” Imus joked during his show Monday, referring to his charity to help children with cancer.
The one-time shock jock added that he was surprised by the diagnosis, since he’s been followed a healthy diet for the past decade.
As for the former Rutgers’ players he infamously dissed, they’re not surprised at all by Imus’ diagnosis. The reason: Something about karma being a…
