AceShowbiz - Ashlee Simpson was left red-faced on live U.S. TV on Thursday, December 24, after forgetting the name of her leading man in Broadway musical "Chicago". The singer-turned-actress made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart on November 30.

And, after almost a month of performances, Simpson was tongue-tied when asked to recall her co-star Brent Barrett, the actor who plays Billy Flynn, during a segment on breakfast program, "The Today Show".
