Ashlee Simpson was left red-faced on live TV on Thursday - 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-Wentz was tongue-tied when asked to recall her co-star Brent Barrett, the actor who plays Billy Flynn, during a segment on "The Today Show".

Embarrassed, the star appeared desperate to remember the name, but instead excused herself: "Oh my god! Names, names, names, names, names."

The 25 year old has already tested her popularity backstage - castmembers reportedly complained she barricaded her family from the rest of the cast in "a makeshift VIP section", at an after-party for her debut.

182. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 03/09 **#15** (https://goo.gl/vQe6Pc)
This former A list "singer"/former reality star from a celebrity family has not been able to sell any of her reality show pitches and can't get any acting work either. It is not even so much what happened so long ago, it is the way she was on her last big show where she got fired. No one wants to deal with that again even if she has changed. She has. Someone should hire her because she is pretty miserable. Ashlee Simpson ("Melrose Place") (http://www.mtv.com/news/2762964/ashlee-simpson-wentz-fired-from-melrose-place/)
